Rom2013

2004 in every possible aspect.

Maybe Bayern needs to change a lot of players and maybe we can get some good players there. I would take for example Gotze... From what I read I thik Bayern fans don't like him. In normal conditions he is not in the starting eleven and maybe he would like to join us. I don't know... I would be really alert to what Bayern will do, maybe we can get some really good players for a fair prices.

Guardiola destroyed Bayern. If today Bayern plays with Madrid they lose 8 or 9 without any problem(just because Madrid is a lot better n counter attack than Barcelona that is not that good at it). THat defense is a joke. How can GUardiola play with his defense in Barcelona midfield and give 50 meters to Barcelona to counter attack? What a joke. 0 shots on target for Bayern, and they can htank Neuer because it could have been 5 or 6-0 without any problem. Bayern 2 years ago won 4-0 in the Camp Nou right?

If Bale is available we should buy him no matter what. In my opinion I wouldn't care if we don't buy a CB or a CM if we only can get Bale. Bale and Neymar are the "new" Cristiano and Messi... they are worst than those 2 but they are special, they have "similar" numbers, they are that kind of player. If we can get Bale and Varane would be magnificent. My team in that case would be: -----------------Courtois------------------- Iva----------Varane--------Terry---Azpi ---------------Matic--------Fabregas---- Bale------------Willian--------Hazard--- -------------------Costa-------------------- But again, if Bale is available he should be the main target, don't really care about the rest. If Bale is not available my main target would be Pogba for the same reason, The only player comparable to Yaya, young, strong, can play everywhere in the midfield. He is the perfect midfilder. Again after that if we an get Varane would be perfect. -----------------Courtois------------------- Iva----------Varane--------Terry---Azpi ---------------Matic--------Pogba--------- Willian------------Fabregas----Hazard--- ------------------- Costa-------------------- I would have more doubts about this because I don't like Fabregas that much in the 10, but I think we would play a 4-3-3 and that would give the defensive stability we miss, and the players can change positions all the time. A pivot Matic Pogba seems so tough. If we don't have money to buy a super star like those 2, or Madrid don't let Varane go I would go for players like Kondogbia/Schneiderlin to replace Mikel, for Sterling and a good CB I (don't really know who would be but a good CB of any great team in Europe that would cost something like 20Mpounds - Pique seems that he is not going anywhere, we would have been a great option)

We are doing the right thing, instead of passing the ball, since we can penetrate we should start shooting faster. We will do it in one of those ocasions.

For less done on the pitch by Oscar. For example this incredible performance against Manchester City by our number 10 at home. Ladies and gentlemen here we have our number 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWPpzn24-08 Do you want to rewatch the video of Cuadrado now? Unfortunatly I can't find many of Oscar performances in the second part of the season on youtube. It would be something really wonderful to watch. Like those games when he was substituted at half time or at the minute 60 because he couldn't do a single pass. I was one of the only here defending Salah and even Schurrle from the abuse they were receiving this season, Even if they were poor here, but they didn't deserve that kind of treatment. On the other hand we have a number 10 that likes to start his vacations 6 months earlier than all the others, and we can't say it. A number 10 that last season did 2 assists in the League. A player that again is playing like shit. But let's say that Cuadrado is useless, a player that started 2 games with Chelsea. Oscar is amazing.

What do you think about the performances of Oscar in the last 5 months? And Oscar is here for 3 years doing exactly the same in the second part of the season...

I don't think he was bad he the 2 games he started, After that he played 5 minutes here and 5 minutes there. Obviously Mourinho didn't like is performances, he isn't playing, he has some pressure right now to show what he can do in a limited time period... so things are not woring so well. But in reality in those 2 games he was decent: FOr me is is mile better than Schurrle, Salah, and if we continue with this AM's he will be in the starting eleven with Willian and HAzard.

The rest of the world thinks there is a debate. 3 times winner of the Ballon Dor, 3 times winner of the European GOlden Boot, right now pichichi in Spanish League (Cristiano 39 against 38 from Messi), he is in front for the run to the 4th golden boot wirh less games played than Messi, less 2 assist than Messi in League (Messi 17 and Cristiano 15). Cristiano has almost more assists than Hazard has goals+assists, It's an insult to compare the 2. Just in terms of end product we have 1 simple equation that resumes everything: Ronaldo=3*Hazard About his attitude, it's not the best... but it's also what makes him a legendary player and one of the 5 best players in the history of the game with Pele, Maradona, Di Stefano and Messi. We can also talk about things that other players did inside and outside the pitch, starting in Messi, and ending with Terry to see that the things Cristiano do are not that worrying.

He does everything Oscar does, and even more,,, and also better. The thing is Willian can play in the left, right and center. Oscar don't have the quaity to play in the wing.

20 games like that like Madrid... and last decade CHelsea was one of the greatest spenders in the world something that doesn't happen anymore. FOr example 2 games ago many here were saying "It took Van Gaal 6 months to implement his philosophy...", and it took Man United 6 months and 200M€ investment to be 17 points behind CHelsea.

That results are not normal for a big team, and only teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona can do something lie that. Real Madrid because they spent more than 500M€ in players, Barcelona because they had 3 or 4 incredible players in the cantera like Messi, Xavi and Iniesta and they spent millions in the last years with 100M€ for Neymar, 80M€ for Suarez, 80M€ for Ibra, etc. Chelsea never had something like that in the last 12 years, Arsenal also, Man United even with ROnaldo and ROoney coudn't do that. That's not normal and you need a ton of money to have a team like that. ANd yes... having Bale, Ronaldo, James, Isco, Benzema, Jesé, Modric, Kroos, or having Ozil, Di Maria, Ronaldo, Modric, or Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Neymar, Suarez, garantees you a standard of football that you can'r reach without those players. It's the reality. Stop dreamming about Madrid when we spend half the money they spend.

LOL, calling Bayern a balanced team... a team that lost 4-0 at home against Real Madrid, that lost with another 4 to WOlfsburg and was humilliated against Porto. Bayern was a balanced team 3 years ago, you are right... today,,, About Madrid, you just have to look at Madrid with Mourinho, with that team it's not that hard to play attacking football and win 5-0 or 6-0 against anyone. It's more difficult to win against Barcelona... but humilliate other teams it's really easy. FOr example in the 2 first seasons of Mouriunho in Madrid here you have some of the games where Madrid scored 4 or more goals and won eith a difference of at least 3 goals. 2010/2011Real Madrid 6-1 DeportivoMalaga 1-4 Real MadridReal Madrid 6-1 SantanderReal Madrid 5-1 Real MurciaReal Madrid 5-1 AthleticAjax 0-4 Real MadridReal Madrid 4-0 AuxerreReal Madrid 8-0 LevanteReal Madrid 4-1 Real SociedadReal Madrid 7-0 MálagaReal Madrid 4-0 TottenhamValencia 3-6 Real MadridSevilla 2-6 Real Madrid Real Madrid 4-0 GetafeReal Madrid 8-1 Almeria 2011/2012Zaragoza 0-6 Real MadridReal Madrid 6-2 Rayo VallecanoEspanyol 0-4 Real MadridReal Madrid 4-1 BetisReal Madrid 4-0 LyonMalaga 0-4 Real MadridReal Madrid 7-1 OsasunaReal Madrid 6-2 Dinamo de ZagrebReal Madrid 4-1 Atletico de MadridSevilla 2-6 Real MadridReal Madrid 5-1 PonferrarinaReal Madrid 4-1 AthleticReal Madrid 4-0 Racing SantanderReal Madrid 5-1 EspanyolOsasuna 1-5 Real MadridReal Madrid 5-2 ApoelAtletico de Madrid 1-4 Real MadridReal Madrid 4-1 Mallorca Scary.

For some people seeing CHelsea winning the League after 5 years it's going to hurt a lot... we need to understand that.

He did a huge mistake in the moment Falcao hit the bar. He was really tired. Good game, and I agree I think it's good for him to play in the midfield to improve his qualitues with the ball. He will start something like 20 games in this season, which is impressive.

This is so funny.

Just asking if we can moan about QUaresma like you do about another player that failed miserably here. Just that.

QUaresma played less games than Salah here so... About Barcelona, Quaresma was 18. Anyway... Quaresma is a lot more talented than Salah is, still failed but played like a super star in a team a lot better than Fiorentina or olfsburg in every competition... Can we moan also about Quaresma or just about Salah?

Exactly the same point for Salah, or De Bruyne... they failed and Qaresma is and always was a better player than Salah for example... still in here there is a lot of moaning. Quaresma was incredible in Sporting, Porto and Besiktas. 2 UEFA Cup teams (Sporting and Besiktas), and 1 CHampions League winner in the last 13 years, 2 wons in UEFA Cups and a lot of great permances in Europe (Porto). Maybe the level of Salah is a minor UEFA Cup team like the one where he is

What? Quaresma was here on loan because he failed in a super team like Inter, was a great player (a lot better than Salah ever was), in Besiktas and Porto was a superstar, still is at the age of 31 a really good player for Porto and did a great game against Bayern. He also failed at CHelsea like KdB and Salah, They have a lot in common. We can moan about Quaresma too, or not? I will do a list of players like this and taht way we can pick.

RIght now since KdB was humilliated and Salah it's not that good.... I think we should start moaning about Quaresma. Yes he is old, maybe not that far in quality when compared with the other 2 (today), but at least he can do great things in a decent competition. Why the hell is Quaresma out of Chelsea?

Varane is one of a kind. 2 years ago he was already one of the best in the world and was better than Ramos and Pepe. The injury was a problem, and some people in Spain say that he feels pain when he plays... that's the reason why I'm not sure if this is a great idea. About his qualities, we can't get any better than Varane if he is ok.

On the other hand Mourinho 2 years ago started a work in a team that was a disgrace and will be English CHampion. GUardiola 2 years ago started a work in the best team in the world and no one can recognize that team. But al least he has a style. It's like Barcelona when they lost 0-4 against this same Bayern coached by Heynckes... Xavi said at the end of the game "we had more time the ball". Style!!!

And Pellegrini took 2 minor teams in Spain in great campaings in the CHampions League, one day Benitez won La Liga, Kloop one day won the German League and was in a final of the CHampions League and this season was half the season in the relegation spots (and witout Reus I think he would have a problem to leave those situation). Mourinho one day won the Champions League with Porto a much more impressive moment in the history of football than any of the others... still there are people who think he lost it... on the other hand a coach that almost put Dormund in the second division is incredible. Kloop did a marvelous job, is a great coach but let's see what he can do in another kind of team. I think City is now the most difficult team to coach because they eill need to change completely their team in the next 2 or 3 years. Maybe they can spend money. but Arsenal, CHalsea (I hope so), and United will have a lot of money to spend.

It's not 0-5 because Oblak saved everything.
