If anything's working against the Blues it is the lack of a clear statement of intent from the club that they want to enter the bidding for him, with other clubs seemingly making more
direct approaches for the player so far this summer.
Not exact matches
I could have given a few Arsenal
players the Man of the Match award
for yesterday's hard fought win at Newcastle, with Cazorla's probing and patient passing as well as Oxlade - Chamberlain's
direct approach and shot
for the goal being key factors, but
for me the anchoring presence of Coquelin in midfield and his ability to keep the ball and his cool amid concerted pressure was brilliant.
Chelsea alternate between a 4 33 and a 4 2 31, both equally as effective, Ramires can play in the pivot, as a RM and on the wing and has done so
for the last 2 season's giving Chelsea something different if Fabregas does not play or should they desire a
direct approach, Azpilicueta who is probably the league's best LB is not even a LB, Ivanovic is not a RB but a CB by trade, Fabregas has and does play no. 10 on occasions
for Chelsea, should any of these
players get injured they have a world class replacement waiting, the same can not be said of Arsenal, we play one way and our subs are usually like
for like or like
for out of position.
Carlo Ancelotti adopts a similar
direct approach at Real Madrid, and the results certainly show the effects as Di Maria totalled 17 La Liga assists in 27 starts
for the club — the highest amount of assists produced by any
player in Europe's top five leagues.
This game takes another
approach — it makes the game so random that its hard
for other
players to
direct the whole game.
