[VERY unpopular opinion] Herrera's replacement (self.reddevils)

drexter12 が 投稿

I am not doing a knee-jerk reaction based on this game, but I think Kante has shown us what type of player we need next to Pogba, and I don't think that is Herrera.

Herrera has incredible passion and tries his best, and does really well against weaker teams. However, I don't think we will win titles with Herrera as one of our core players like Pogba to influence big games.

Pogba is really bad at defending, and we just don't have that balance in midfield with just Herrera. That's why often Carrick or Fellaini brings in that balance. But, I think we need a replacement who can play with Pogba and eliminate the need of Carrick + Herrera starting together.

Again, this is not a knee-jerk reaction as Herrera and Jones were playing decent in first 30 mins. But, I do think we need someone who can replace the need of both Herrera + Jones etc. What do you guys think, would Herrera be one of your core players for the future to keep?

Apparently Mourinho wants Strootman, and he has only 1 yr remaining on his contract.

Obviously we should have bought Vidal in 2014, but we pussied out because of his supposed dodgy knees LOL

Could've used Vidal's card avoiding skills today!

It was a smart move at the time to not buy Vidal.

Was it smart to not go all out for Renato Sanches? Who sits on the bench? Who would've genuinely solved our problems?

[–]kaoticreapzRashgod 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

We did go all out for Sanches from what the news articles suggested. He didn't join because it wasn't certain at the time who was gonna be the manager. And I don't know who'd have solved our midfield issue. In hindsight, Vidal would have been good, but the dodgy knee was always going to be a big issue at the time.

Now that you mention it, Renato Sanches would have been very ideal next to Pogba :/ He has similar work rate to Kante but also composure with the ball.

Its not a unpopular opinion really. Hererra has to stay in the squad because frankly we've fuckall midfield depth and he's VERY capable of being a squad player not to mention you need players with his passion and drive but I've thought for a while now we will eventually (probably next season) need a higher calibre replacement, that'll help Pogba out too.

Completely agree, but as you can see with rate of downvotes that it is very unpopular lol.

Post it tomorrow or maybe next week, and I would be able to respond rationally. It's too early to discuss this when we have just been robbed of a great game by a stupid refereeing decision.

Problem is Kantes don't hang on trees. I struggle to think of even one player similar to him, so might be a difficult task to bring in "a player of his type".

I think the problem is that very few players really want to play as a defensive midfielder. A midfielder wants to do it all. It take a manager to recognize a player with the qualities to play the position and coach them into the role.

Players like Kante don't come like the buses... He's a rare piece and those cunts are typically Chelsea lucky to get him.

Ref was a fuck anyway as he ALWAYS is against us... literally cannot vent enough toward Michael Oliver just a bias fucking wanker.

I agree we should look for a world class defensive mid, but Herrera is better than both Fellani and Carrick at defending. Fellani and Carrick are two of the slowest players in the league.

[–]Miniatom -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Herrera would be a really great sub, but should not start. I completely agree.

[–]Magnehtic -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Well, we could have Kroos or Verratti if we're willing to break the bank again this summer. Either together with Pogba would be the most dominant midfield in the league.

[–]TheMiName2012 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Kroos? Not in a million years imo

Real Madrid are not in a selling position so why should they sell one of the best midfielders in the world? Furthermore he seems pretty settled in the squad and city itself, so there's no motivation to 'downgrade' to United, as much as it hurts to say that.

Veratti is pretty unlikely too, and I don't want to see us breaking the bank in such a short period again.

Seeing us linked to Bakayoko pretty often recently, think he deserves at least a little bit attention.

[–]Lannisters_HouseThe King 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Don't care about breaking the bank. We'll be offloading players such as Rooney, possibly Ibra too this summer so strengthening the MF with Verrati is a top priority if that is the case. We need to get our fucking shit together BEFORE the summer...

Asking myself: Why do Chelsea always grab up players we want/need? Pisses me off.

Do you just like naming star players? Why does either Kroos or Verratti belong in the same conversation about a Kante type player? Kroos is awful defensively and it showed in most of RM's early games. They completely changed once Casemiro sealed his spot in midfield allowing Modric and him to push further forward.
