There is a theory that the Max no. of changes a team should make for their starting lineup is 3 players.

Better players as an individual don't necessarily form a better team. What I really worried is even the new manager can't solve this problem.

Just to add, I think he would be sacked, but not now, because Ashley wants to have more options available after the season ends.

1. Lost the players, which probably already happened 2. Banged Ashley's daughters

He already has more than enough reasons to be sacked so no need for this accusation i think I think he will be sacked. No chance he would still be our manager in the coming August.

to be fair, HBA looks very unfit. He really shouldnt start the game.

I don't think it would be as bad as people suggest here.

When is the last time Jonas playing as a left wing?

Someone reminds me this. Would any decent manager willing to be our manager given only 1 year compensation upon sacking?

WTF is going on here

.......Hans, I sincerely hope so, I am not that optimistic to be honest. I sincerely hope you are fucking correct..........just I don't think we could really get a better manager this summer, given Ashley's reputation.

I am so sorry, forgive me Lord Wilson

Base on the comments here, I think we will win, I don't know why

Yea in fact a lot more than that. Diet, lifestyle....Barca players sacrifised a huge lot in the past to maintain their dominance power which should be highly respected, even though I dislike them most.

That's what i mean, hunger, Pip. To press with that intensity, the players have to train ridiculously hard to keep up with the fitness level. Obviously the players didn't do so this season since they have lost it. The Dream 3 has finished. New blood won't help much as well. The only way out is to hire someone like Pep that can re-lit the players' hunger. IF there is someone like Pep.....

The whole Barca team has lost the "hunger". End of an era for me. You can see Pique is thinking of bedding with Shakira rather than scoring a goal back.

Would it do us any favours? It probably do for the next match.

Would rather play Anita in that role.

I just can't see him succeed as a DM in EPL due to that weakness. But then he is actually a good cover for Cabaye, and a very effective ball holder when partnering Perch. I don't want him to be sold as he has a lot more to offer.

Seriously, he can't play as a DM, he is terrible at LB, he offers nothing and can't beat anyone at left wing..... Is there a position, or a way, to "utilize" his ability? He is my most likeable player during his first few seasons but now it's time that he should quit, probably together with Colo.

Re Cabaye, I actually think his position is alright during the 1st half vs WBA. In fact Cabaye always tends to play further up when partnering Perch. The "sitting too deep" problem usually occurs when Cabaye's partnering Tiote. I blame Pardew for not having the guts to drop Tiote permanently as it is painfully obvious that Tiote is playing ridiculously bad, and Pardew has no faith on him as well. Cabaye as a result has to play deeper to protect the defence line. Perch + Cabaye + Sissoko is what we should go for now, and we should find a new DM during the summer. Agree that Sissoko should player deeper too. You have to give him space to run in the middle.

His defence is a huge letdown. I want Anita to start as well but I know defensively he isn't up for it.

Cabaye in front of Sissoko?

He is just another Alan Smith.

If we lose this ashley will sack him.
