I hope like all of us that Jose is a great signing. However it is our midfield where the main issue lies. We have Moutinho, who is tidy but can't pick a pass or beat a man. Vitinha, great goal yesterday, but seems a carbon copy of Moutinho. Dendoncker, can't pick a pass or beat a man, but can get in the box and is a decent defender. Otasowie, who I haven't seen much of but appears a carbon copy of Dendoncker. Neves, who can pick a long pass but can't beat a man. Traore who definitely can beat a man but can't pass at all. We are desperate for a midfielder who can beat a man and pick a pass else we are one dimensional playing wide and crossing. This can work if you have a genius like Jimenez but without him you just don't get the chances. Incidentally Jimenez was one of, if not the best defender at set pieces. Boy do we miss him! We also miss Jota who beat men from midfield and created hosts of chances. No wonder Liverpool supporters are crying out for his return. Going back to the midfield it seems inevitable with that set of players we continue to pass sideways and eventually break wide if at all. Please let's find a player who can pick a pass. I am sure Fabio would do better in that set up. Onwards and upwards.

Bobsbest. You make some good points and I agree midfield is a problem for us and I've saying it for ages.
However, I don't believe Silva would produce right now regardless of who had in the middle. Also, otasowie is much more dynamic and mobile even now at his young age than Donk can ever be. Mouthino, I haven't given up on him yet. He's still class but presently playing in a poor team and not able to influence things has he should. I don't think Vithina is anything like a carbon copy of Mouthino. He's still a bit lightweight but who knows how far he can go. He could become a source of goals which we currently don't have in the middle. Dendoncker may get more chances than anyone else but his finishing is dire. Got no pace, just a galloper chasing the play. Very negative last night when he had lots of room to push on. Neves is much better against better teams who allow him a bit more space to operate. Better teams are more interested in their own game rather than purely focussing on stopping us play. I've heard people say push Neves further forward. That's never going to work. As you say, he's got no pace and needs space to operate in to be at his best. The further forward he plays the less space he'll get. There's a reason he plays so deep. Anyway. Just my thoughts.
Still a lot to play for this season so let's hope some of these players start performing as we know they can.

Dead right Bob been saying that about our midfield, your spot on glad someone agree, s with me, things won't change till we sort it out.

We got away with it when we had Jota.

Watched Fulham v Man Utd the other day and Pogba rightly got most of the plaudits BUT the player who caught my attention, especially in the second half, was Reuben Loftus-Cheek. Slowly getting his fitness back after long absence with injury, he is beginning to shows signs of being that really special midfielder, as he did when first picked for England glides past players, sees and can play a pass AND he scores goals. 25 today, so still got his best years ahead of him. On loan at Fulham, so still a Chelsea player. Would probably sell if an offer was made. We tend to shop abroad but there are some good players that would enhance our team in ‘smaller’ Premier teams and the Championship.

Wolfthistle, I absolutely agree! I'm a massive fan of RLC, he is severely underrated. I've been saying for sometime he's exactly the type of player we need.

I suspect RLC is on loan at Fulham because he is committed to staying in London.

24 Jan 2021 10:04:37
Yea agree.
RLC looked very good the other day and yes exactly the sort we need.
