But we'd still have a big problem in midfield in terms of finding the right balance - and that's because we lack the right player to make it work, and defensively, Mertesacker is starting for us every week - that's not gonna work either.
Our problem currently is the lack of balance in midfield. We are not even sure of what we even want. Do we want Ramsey to be bombing into the box like this and let our defence get exposed? Or do we want a ball player there to keep possession and build up play slowly? You can't have the best of both worlds. Once we sort that out our defence is more than fine. Mertesacker is getting to the point that he is underrated here. Excellent today once again, especially when we need to shut up shop.
The midfield problem is significant. Cazorla or Ramsey? We need to choose and stick with it, but, for me, Coquelin starting is a problem because he's not as good an all round midfielder as we need in there. Mertesacker is a problem too in my eyes. He doesn't allow us to push up and play the pressing game we need to in order to have more control over the game.
I think we at least need to break the bank to get in a world class centre midfielder. Someone that combines what Coquelin and Cazorla can do. How the hell you find that player I don't know.
Mourinho is an absolute cunt btw for subbing John Terry out at half time. Disrespectful doesn't even cut it.
