Is KdB joking? Today we saw why he doesn't play.

GOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were not. Porto was not a counter attacking team, and for me Chelsea and Inter were not also. They know how to counter attack very well, but they could play passing the ball and create oportunities that way. FOr me the only team where the counter attack was a massive contribution because the players were perfect for that was Real Madrid. And no other team will do it in the world like Madrid. And Porto was not a counter attack team.

Porto didn't play in counter attack, Porto smashed every team in Portugal and in Europe for 2 years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB7qzOKxoDk I don't think Chelsea or Inter were counter attack teams. Chelsea was one of the best teams in the world for 3 years with Mourinho (and more 2 or 3 years with other managers) being a solid team, and Inter played in counter attack against Barcelona and Bayern. In the Serie A Inter was like Porto in Portugal. Smashed everyone. The only counter atack team Mourinho had was Real Madrid, because is the best way to use Cristiano, and because it was the best way to win against Barcelona. For example Chelsea beat Barcelona in counter attack but with God's help. It was a miracle that win in the Champions League..

YESSS!!!!!!!!

GOOOALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

It's done.

We need Eto'o, we should play in counter attack, and every time Torres has the he loses it.

For me clearly Eto'o, he did it perfectly. Good game, but we shoudn't suffer this much against this kind of teams.

Eto'o is playing really well.

With 22 years old Messi and ROnaldo were a lot better than Oscar or any other player. Messi with 21 years old was the 2nd best player in the world, and Ronaldo with 22-23 the third.

A 4-3-3 it's the same. Mourinho played with a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-1-1-1-3 or whatever you want to call it in Madrid for example. 1 defendive midfielder (Alonso who is not in my opinion the best defensive midfielder a team can have), 1 box to box with Khedira and a number 10.with Ozil. The position where Essien, Mikel, Cambiasso, Makelele play, it's not the same where RAmires, Khedira or Schweinsteiger play. Mostly because the the box to bnox does the connection, but also because they play 10 meters in front of the defensive midfielder and that's really important for examp+le in the way they receive the ball.

In a 4-3-3 there are 3 positions in the midfield. The number 10 in our team is for Oscar or Mata, the number 8 should be Ramires and the number 6 (the more defensive midfielder) should be Pogba Witsel plays as a number 8, he is a box to box. FOr example Javi Martinez and Schweinsteiger... Javi Martinez is the defensive midfielder and Schweinsteiger the box-to-box. THey are diferent and they should play in diferent positions. TOday we play without a true defensive midfielder, Today in CHelsea the position of Lampard and Ramires is the same, in my opinion it shouldn't be like that.

Pogba doesn't play in the same position of Witsel, and Pogba is a better player when compaired with Witsel. Pobga must be in the top 10 or top 5 of the best defensive midfielders in the world. Juventus coach is putting him as a winger, sometimes he is playing really wide, but that's not his position and he can't perform that way,

We need another goal.

Go Lukaku!!!

Ozil is a lot better than Mata, is a lot better than Isco, for me he is the best number 10 in the world by far. The problem for Ozil is that Real Madrid is a special club, the best club in the history of this sport, and they want always more, and more. They wanted Bale, they bought Isco, they had Modric and they needed to sell one of them. Modric can play in a lot of positions, Isco is better for tiki taka (and he is also spanish), so Ozil had to go because he wanted more money and because he had a lot of competition to enter in the starting eleven. It wouldn't be so dificult to play in any other team in the world. Numbers are important in football, but for example Iniesta is better than Ozil and a lot better than Mata but looking for assists and goals he is worst.

That numbers are for the League or for all the competitions? In Madrid Ozil for all competions in 3 years did almost 100 assists. Anyone know one statistics site where we can confirm this? Because I red it in the webpage of a paper.

Ba scored 16 and he isn't good enough. Torres scored more than 20 with Liverpool and he is not good enough. So yes, scoring 17 goals with WBA doesn't mean you are good enough to play for Chelsea. Let's hope we can win, we need to be in the top of the league as soon as posible.

Good game. I still don't like the way the team does the pressing, but today we played really well. Schurrle was absolutely incredible. I hope he can do more 4 or 5 games like this. Now let's think about the Premier and let's get the 1st place as soon as posible.

Can he score 40/50 goals per season on the League? Then he has to run like everyone elso.

Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta, Xavi, Ozil, Robben, Ribery, Bale, Van Persie, Rooney, Aguero, Hazard, Neymar, Ibrahimovic, Falcao. 15 without any effort. Mostly attacking players. If you want more I can continue.

Kaka today is no one. He is a retired player. Mourinho has nothing to do with the bad moment of Kaka. Real Madrid paid 70M€ for a player that couldn't play two games in a row, and they paid to him 10M€ per season. Kaka and Milan robbed Real Madrid, that's the reality. About Mata, if he can't play like Mourinho wants he will go to other team. You can see that Chelsea has a problem when a player like Mata is considered our best player. Mata is not between the best 40 or 50 players in the world.

If we are talking about the 60's, yes Benfica is a giant in Europe. The 2nd best team in Europe after Real Madrid and maybe the third in the world because Santos was better too in that time I believe. Porto winning the Champions League in 2004 it's like Crystal Palace winning this season the Premiere Legue.

Mourinho with Porto. Winner of the UEFA Cup and Champions League in 2003 and 2004.That team cost virtually nothing and won everything. It's the greatest achievement in football in the last 20 years for sure.
