Rom2013

Mourinho was the one that brought Morata, Nacho and José Rodriguez (3 examples that had "a lot" of playing time under Mourinho, Mourinho played a lot of players from Castilla) to the first team of Real Madrid. This guy seems to have a lot of quality but also increadible physical attributes, I think Mourinho will give him a chance for sure. When we have players with this quality but also so tall and strong I think we shoudn't have many doubts on giving them chances. It's a great plus to have a CM, winger, number 10 strong like he is (even if in that positions it's not so importat the physical aspect when compared with LB, CM, DM or ST).

He played the same way he does always... can't create anything.. can't influence the game in any way, don't know how to play in counter attack, don't risk anything... There is no place for Oscar in the starting 11 of this team.

You can't compare Hazard, Fabregas, Matic and Costa with Oscar or any other player because they are our best players. They are better than Oscar, more consistent, they are better in everything. The numbers of Oscar in terms of goals and asssits right now are OK, his performances are not. At the end of the season it seams that both aren't going to be OK like last season. You all said that Ozil was horrible in Arsenal, anyway for all of you that like a lot statistics, Ozil comtributed with more goals+assists in last season than Oscar, playing out of position and in less 100 minutes than Oscar. This season posiblly he will do it again even having a major injury. This is for example the guy that was taged as a failure. If at the end of the day we conclude that Silva is better than Oscar, Ozil is better than Oscar, Cazorla is better than Oscar, maybe Coutinho is better than Oscar, we have a problem because we just have 1 number 10 and he is not a great player and many of our rivales have or can have without many effort a better player than Oscar.

I hope we don't risk next season with Terry as a starter and without buying a world class CB. Terry sooner or later will have problems and we only have Cahill and a 20 year old CB on the squad.

They need to adapt... or they need to go play for Barcelona 5 years ago, because there are no team in the world that plays always in attack... they need to improve, specially Hazard that is still young and can do it. That's the reason why for example Willian is a starter and he is not going anywhere... Willian can play attacking football, can defend, can counter attack. And that's the basic thing we should ask from all our players.

THe team is not supposed to play like we did in the first half of the game against Tottenham, or some other games. Our counter attack has a clear problem that needs to be solved, About the attacking game of Mourinho... Real Madrid was a complete machine 3 years ago (in my opinion a lot better than they were last season or this season), and Inter and Chelsea were increadible well balanced teams. Porto with the tools Mourinho had was the most impressive team I've ever seen. This team is not there yet... and we need to do some changes.

THere are empirical evidence that we do a lot better than any other big team in Englad against big teams. 0 defeats against City in the League (2 wins and 2 draws), 0 defats against Arsenal in League (1 win and 2 draws), 4 wins against Liverpool in League, 0 defeats against Manchester Unuted (2 draws and 1 win), 1 defeat against Toteenham in League (1 draw and 2 wins). About our counter attack one of the problems we have is that Hazard is a great attacking but he suffers in counter attack, the same for Fabregas, Oscar can't do ir aso. We should do a lot better in that, anyway we still are by far the best team en Englad in every aspect. Specialy Hazard needs to improve a ot playing in counter attack, sometimes we seem Barcelona that didn't know what to do when they were in numerical superiority in attack, and every time tried to do the same.

ALmost all the players of Man City are 30 years old, they are going to have problems in the next seasons because they can't spend too much. Toure 31 Fernandinho 29 David SIlva 29 Lampard 36 Navas 29 Milner 29 Demichelis 34 Clichy 29 Kolarov 29 Zabaleta 30 Sagna 32 They have at least eleven players to repace in the next 2 or 3 years. They have also problems with players like Jovetic that is not happy, others that are not good enough and also other players like Fernando, Kompany,Dzeko and others taht are 27 or 28 years old. I don't really know what City can do about the mess they created in their team, It was really cool to have 15 players between 26 and 30 in the last 2 or 3 years. But right know they will have 12 or 13 with 30 or more.

It's just that there are people that want every young player to have chances, and there are people (like me) that think we spould give chances only to the players that have the right characteristics. Our DM is Matic with experience, 194cm, great characteristics... let's face it, it will be almost imposible for Ake to do it here. He did well when he played but sooner or later he will be out, because he don't have the quality of Matic and has also a big handicap because normally a DM shpould be taller. THere are other DM that are not tall but in my opinion it would be difficult for a team like CHelsea to give time to develop a player with this characteriscs. In the LB position I think he would have more chance here, but there we have Azpi and Luis.

If Ake was a player from some middling French club he wouldn't be here. from what I know Ake is a CB/DM that can't play there because he is not tall enough, his best option is try to do something in the LB of a great team because it will be imposible for him to play in the CB, and he will have problems as a DM. Zouma is everything a CB should be. Good defender, tall, strong, fast for a CB, his jump is increadible. He is the perfect young CB, like Varane was. Ake won't be taller. I think that's the reason why Mourinho also likes Ruben Loftus-Cheek. In my opinion Ake has no future here, also because we have 2 great players that can play as LB. Ake also had no luck with the injury he had in the moment some kids played in the cups.

The countries that will lose with that are the best ones.Germany, Italy, ENgald and Spain. Portugal had 2 clubs in there but that's not sustainable, Porto and Benfica are at best in the second gruop in terms of quality. This season they are a really doof example... Porto played with Shaktar, BATE and Athetic... Man City played against Bayern, Roma and CSKA. It's difficult... and it was the same for the last 3 years. For eample if by miracle Bayern lose the German League they can the in the gruop of Real Madrid and then they can play against Barcelona. THey will have a problem. Man City has a lot of incompetence but also had no luck in the last 3 seasons, Man City is a team that should be at least in semi finals of CHampions on a regular basis. And still about Englad... in one or 2 years when the clubs are going to have the same money Real Madrid has don't doubt that the results of ENgland football will be a lot better.

LOL what? you can rewatch the game when you want, but again Willian was by far the best attacking player in this team. And every single day everyone iunderstands why Oscar is nowhere near this team.

ANd mostly because Willian is our best player in attack again today.

That right now we are 8 points clear.

GOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!! Vamos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was our midfield for 6 months last season and we did it well... with Ramires and Lampard. We don't have Matic, put Ramires there. I would play with Cech, Azpi, Iva, Zouma, Terry, Ramires, Fabregas, Cuadrado, Willian, Hazard and COsta.

Salah started 10 games for CHelsea in 1 complete season and was used in another 9 games. For example Zouma is here for almost 1 season and started 13 games and played in another 3 games. Remy is here for almost 1 season and started 9 games and was used in another 13 games. Mikel this season started 10 games and played in another 10 games. De Bruyne started in 6 months 5 games and was used in another 4 games. It's hard to have playing time for CHelsea... anyway we can all understand that Zouma deserves to play, Remy deserves to play, and players like Salah and De Bruyne failed in the oportinities they had, it's the reality. This is Chelsea... if you work hard and play well you play more... if you don't you pack your things and go.

It's like moaning about a player that failed in here. Pointless.

Like the other 300 players that play well for other good teams in the world. Let's pay 40M£ or 50M£ for Callejon?

Playing for Fiorentina or Wolsburg is really differnte from playing in CHelsea. It's the truth. If it was the same we would buy 300 hundred new players every season... because we would need to buy the good players from Fiorentina, Parma, Lazio, Roma, Milan, Inter, SPorting, Benfica, Porto, Malaga, Valencia, Athletic, Monaco, Saint Etienne, Lyon, Zenit, CSKA, Ajax, PSV, ANderlecht, Leverkusen, Wolfsburg...just to name 21 good teams that are not between the top 10. Salah was here because he did well in Basel before he was here... and here he did nothing... and now is playing well. The same for De Bruyne and many others. What tells if a player is good enough to play for a big team... is his performances for big teams... not at Wolfsburg. You can see for example Mata that was really good in Valencia, really good in a mediocre team of CHelsea, when he had to play for a team capable of winning the Premier League he can't play for United and couldn't play for us.

He has a lot of things in comon with De Bruyne, both were shit in here and bth have no place in this team. It's really great to see some people making conclusions about the value of a player that now plays in a team 2 steps bellow the value of CHelsea just because they are playing well. In here they failed. When they do something in teams like Barcelona, Madrid, Bayern, CHelsea, Man United, PSG, Man City... we can talk about great players... until that moment... they were shit in the only big team they ever played.

And for the others also.

One of the problems of Manchester City is the way the groups are formed. 3 years ago they played with Dortmund and Madrid in the group, last season Bayern and then they played Barcelona, and this season again the same. There is a lot of incompetence from the managers that should win at least sometimes this big games, but on the other hand... Man City are really unlucky. About Arsenal I can't understand how they can be humilliated at home by this mess of a team. Arsenal is a lot better than Monaco.

You want to win something with a team that was an absolute disgrace 2 years ago, with a net spending almost 0M£, with one of the worst stadiums and atmospheres between the big clubs, with the third more expensive team in the country in terms of fees paid, and I think also in terms of salaries, with a club that has to sell players every year to pass the FFP... and not only that but also dominating big teams like PSG that their team cost almost 360M£ (more 40M£ than CHelsea)... keep dreaming. Barcelona lost there this season, like almost every other team that played in there. You want to dominate a team like Manchester United in Old Trafford...talking about Manchester like they are a piece of shit but in reality they are a 400M£ team. You also want kids... a lot of kids... You want everything. But in reality we are in the final of a cup, we are in the 1st place in the League with less resources than others and we are in a good position to win against PSG.

What way? leting people enter the area without any opsition when he is the only one marking just because he didn't care?
