This could be a great year for me.
Our goal is to win the lot. We've already made the cup final and we're well placed in the other competitions.

Oscar playing terribly.
DM job not that hard? Eh? Have you seen City when there's no Fernandinho? Toure just goes fucking missing. And scoring from free kicks isn't a 'way harder to score goals from midfield' problem, because he's scoring from set pieces; nothing to do with his position.
Coleman's been superb all season; Sterling's only come into form the last two months or so but has been brilliant.
Yeah I guess but expect him to come back on form again. Definitely disagree on Toure. I think doing the DM job is not that hard, if Mikel can do it to a CL win then anyone can. Its way harder to score goals from midfield, some of his freekicks have been perfection.
Where is Sterling?!?!Coleman could be a shout, been very impressed with him at RB. Gerrard could get a shout too if wasn't so shite at his actual job in midfield.
Hazard for me has down what he is currently doing, far too often. Goes missing. When he fancies it, he is unplayable but when he doesn't he is more invisible than Ozil. So invisible people forget he is playing to criticize him so he somehow is absolved of criticism.

It varies depending on who you play but passing 5 yards, intercepting and tackling are not the most elite skills one can acquire.
That's because he plays with fucking DeMichelis instead, its not the hardest job in the team but at the top level it certainly requires a slightly better player. Or you drop one of your strikers for an extra midfielder. He hasn't 'just' scored freekicks though has he. Fernandinho is doing a great job, but Toure has been better IMO is all. Creating some great chances and operating in a 4 man midfield compared to 5 man oppositions.

Cool, thanks, prefer the applause but others are saying it is disrespectful due to Finny being from a different era. Dunno.

This post is full of utter shit, especially the DM part. Also Mikel while being a decent ball winner is, as frustrating as it can be to watch at times (when Chelsea has to attack), a player that is completely calm and does safe passes. That's why it worked so well in CL with him, when Chelsea were overmatched pretty much all the time with a squad that didn't play well, he was what was needed and could often hold onto the ball for rather big periods of time and just pass it back to the defense or sideways without losing it. There's lots of DM's with a much different style that Mikels.

Chelsea drop sooo deep, Mourinho would be the perfect fit for the England team.
So if you are ranking the key positions in football and their skill level, you would put DM near the top would you? Yeah, full of shit.

Gallas with an A-league blooper.
I expected that guy to miss the open goal, that's the best of the bloopers from the A League, when you're already laughing at how bad the defender messed up and then see the forward mess up just as badly afterwards lol
I think it's silly to put a "skill level" on any of the positions.
Talk about first world problems.

Fuck Toure
The guy's 6ft4", built like a brickshit house with all the natural ability in the world, but turns to shit when he doesn't have a babysitter.

What do you mean skill level?
Is Nani a better player than Barry because he has more skill?

Poor Terry, has to fight against his team mates for the corners too.

When is the last time Nani played for a long stretch of matches anyway? He seems to always be injured.
who gives a shit. Wish we'd sold him in Jan. Buy Dyer.

Oh dear Mirallas
Learn to kick the fucking ball. Feels like he spends entire training sessions just dribbling around cones

Looks like Everton are better off with Barry instead of Fellani

Lets put it this way, DM is where good midfielders play when they get old and shit. Lampard and Gerrard being good examples.
Skill as in ability, as in technique, as in what you can do with a ball and without. What assets does this person possess. Does that help to clarify? Or back to the original comparison, I think Toure is the better overall player than Fernandinho. A player who plays at DM for Barca as he isn't as good as their attacking players, but plays attack in other teams to a high standard.
