And for those who believe you need a creative player to win the cl/or get far. Show me this super star playmaker lfc played with and reach 2 finals in 3 seasons.
I am pretty sure our team has more creativity than that lfc team.
Its not only about the creativity, its also about the speed, our midtfield has no pace. And regarding liverpool 04/05, gerrard is a great alround midtfielder who adds everything including some creativity. Same goes for xabi alonso and luis garcia who also adds speed.
But its a retarded argument to say "look at this team, they won with no creativity, so then so can we". How about looking at the general rule instead of the exception, not having any creative force or speed is deffinetly the exception and the general rule is deffinetly having some creative force on the team, most cl winners over the years has had alot of this. Just because its possible to succeed being the exception doesnt mean its a good thing.
Its really insane to think we are "ok" like this. The lack of creativity is one thing, the lack of speed i another. Our midtfield is way to static, the only speed comes from the fullbacks maicon/maxwell if they play. Now yesterday the genius mancini basicly fields 4 cb's and still the same static midtfield, then you have no speed and offcourse still no creativity, if that doesnt prove how clueless mancini is i dont know what will., how can anyone expect to win against any decent side like that?
The midfield isnt a balanced, its a dull slow brick that totally fails to coop with fast moving teams, especially on the flanks. Only 2 holding midtfielders should play at any time, the other two midtfielders should add the creativity and speed, yet we have no one for this role.
And people here needs to stop overrating Suazo, i have no idea how mancini can get himself to play him as a starter. Sure he scored 14 goals last season, but 8 of those were actually from penalties, thats 6 real goals on his behalf, then he isnt as impressive as he only holds a goal for every 535 minutes he played. Fringe player at best, i dont understand how you can state to have CL ambitions and then buying such a player with the intent on starting him.
