Good solid win for us yesterday, Hazard bossed the first half.

Definitely. Sturridge does deserve chances here in his favourite position. I can understand that RDM is prioritising Torres getting a goal at the moment. We need to get him up running early. Hopefully if he scores against Reading in the first half, Sturridge will come on at 60 mins. Would start Sturridge in either the Newcastle game or the Super Cup game.

I guess the plus side of having naff all strikers is that Sturridge will almost certainly get some time in his correct position, particuarly if Torres decides to Torres it up like he has done the past 2 years which is entirely likely.

I was at the Community Shield game, great goal by him but you are right, he desperately needs to get going quickly this year. Have never seen a player who is so obviously a confidence player.

Regardless of Torres or Sturridge we need another striker even if it is only for cover. The thought of us being forced to play a false 9 or something is hilarious.

Why is Chelsea/Reading the only match midweek?

Vidic seems to be definitely starting tonight. I'm more concerned about his performance than RVP's.

False nine with a midfield of Mikel and Lampard

Yeah, we need one more guy who covers the striker position. Even though I'm not a massive fan, I do like that Hulk is able to play both right wing and the striker position. But for the money Porto are asking, it's not a no go. I guess that's where Moses comes in, but I don't really have much faith of him scoring for us.

5th-Horseman · 08-20-2012, 06:14 AM

Moses is...meh. I would probably have honestly rather have kept Kalou. He is fine, but with Captain inconsistent

and Colenal inconsistent in Sturridge I would like to have another option.

Hulk would be a good signing for under 30 mil I feel, paying 35 upwards for him is taking the piss and I would rather just not spend it. I feel we must be in for someone to have let Lukaku go out on lone. Creating a sqaud that is challenging for Champions League places with 2 strikers is taking the piss a bit. Maybe we should bring in some more attacking mids to cover this

**Destiny** · 08-20-2012, 06:33 AM

I thought Moses was pretty impressive.

Imagine what he can do with quality players a round him.

5th-Horseman · 08-20-2012, 06:39 AM

Good point to be fair. I do sometimes forget quite how bad Wigan's squad is. With a few players better than goal machine Franco Di Santo around you I would wager he will improve. Martinez has done astonishingly well to keep a club with a sqaud of that caliber up for so long.
