Are you winding me up, are first squad is poor?
Are you seriously comparing Kalou to Oscar, Mata and Hazard?
Apzi, in his first season, is streets ahead of Bosingwa.”
Our first eleven is good, but the rest of the squad isnt. You can see that from the first half of this game. Mata is brought on and he completely changes us and is pretty much carrying us.
Im comparing Kalou and Marin. I would much rather have Kalou than Marin. Bosingwa could easily do a job for us(as he did last season), Drogba may have wanted to leave but we could have kept him if we REALLY wanted to, we could definitely have used him this season since Torres has been so bad...
I also agree that Malouda should not be frozen out. Yes he shouldnt be first team but theres no reason we shouldnt be playing him in a match like this, hes an experienced head which is what we need for games like this in cups. Rather than someone like Marin who looks clueless in English football.
Torres is just hopeless, hes even useless against league one Brenford. How long are we going to presist with him FFS?
