Many Real Madrid fans credit Di Maria as the catalyst for winning La Decima.
He was world class last year. It was an overpayment on United's part, but to say he was coasting is a farce.
With one of Griezmann/Lacazette possibly going to Chelsea this summer according to multiple sources, do you think Mourinho would play a 2 striker system?
It would be cool to see:
Lacazette - Costa
Hazard - Fabregas - Willian
Matic
Back 4
In a 4-1-3-2, but I have some concerns.
Matic is a very capable DM but can he dominate the midfield by himself? I suspect Willian/Hazard would be tracking back even more in this system.
Can Cesc be as effective in that advanced position? I prefer to see him next to Matic but necessity would move him forward.
MLS needs to take measures to cut out the broadcasts of foreign leagues if they want to establish a bigger following.
Try as I might, I find it impossible to enjoy the MLS on field product, even though the Whitecaps are an electrifying team by the league's standards.
Willian, for all the flak I give him, has been superb today.
Ramires, outside of that phenomenal strike, has been invisible today.
Chelsea desperately needs to replace the presence Lampard brought to the midfield.
Pogba?
Michael Oliver has already made a mockery of the match.
Fabregas surely should not be booked for simulation there.
It may not be a pen but there is definite contact.
Meanwhile Ospina mugs Oscar when he is in alone. Any other day that is a red for denying a goal scoring opportunity.
