  1. I'm not taking anything away from his Premier League status nor his international and domestic achievements as they are truly memorizing accolades. What is staggering about him, a flaw that in my opinion weighs heavy on his overall status as a world class striker was the mere fact that he has appeared in more than 10 Cup Finals and has scored zero. Every Legend must be there for the big occasion and the highest of magnitudes and competition. I have not once taken anything away from his overall attacking ability and consistency as a footballer, just pointing out the major and blatant obvious that Thierry Henry is the last person on the pitch to score during a cup final.
  2. Look at the goal again, Cesc doesn't even bother celebrating with him.
  3. Besides the goal, I thought Schurrle was disappointing the entire match.
  4. I honestly don't think there is a single footballer in the world that can beat Azpilicueta one on one. His man marking ability is out of this world.
  5. Cheers for that poor excuse of a pass Branislav

  7. Great League player but a Cup Final Bottler.
  8. Love how the English Media and FIFA absolutely praise him as a legend to the English game and continue to worship him as one of the all time greatest strikers ever yet fail to bother mentioning the little fact he has scored 0 goals in 11 finals.
  9. Chalobah should have been given a chance when he was at his upmost form a couple seasons ago. He would have only gotten better with better players around him,
  10. I remember Torres absolutely scrutinizing both Real and Barca, making the likes of Puyol and Hierro look like proper mugs. Not Aguero though mate.
  11. Did he though? I recall him only scoring twice in 8 occasions against Barca during his entire stint at Atletico and it was a deflection goal as well as a consolation goal.
  12. Aguero and Silva, arguably two of City's leading attacking components, are always bottle jobs against Barca, even when they were in Spain.
  13. This whole Cesc doesn't appear in big games claim really is a bag full of piss.
  14. Sorry mate, I typically agree with 99% of what you say, but De Gea is fucking quality. Real Madrid will surely be knocking on the door in a season or two.
  15. Not necessarily. He came from ADCR Le-mans youth academy, but i'll give you that one.
  16. He jumps higher than the average basketball player. An athletic monster at the CB we haven't seen since Desailly. The lad really does have all the utilities to become, dare I say, a world class Centre Back.
  17. Aguero has always bottled it when he's been with or up against Messi, even at his Atletico days. Assume it's an intimidation factor which is quite queer as they are both good friends.
  18. Prefer Solanke. A reasoning in what makes a club 'big' is not necessarily it's history and success alone, but their ability to produce home grown youth products. That is why I despise Real Madrid, as a club of their size they have absolutely no reasoning to only have Iker, Raul, and Guti being the last youth products to be promoted to the first team and instead continue to make due with their galatico policy.
  19. Baker, Solanke, and RLC need to make it here as they are youth products from the club. Give this club some identity and who knows, we could be looking at the next golden generation.
  20. Haven't been really annoyed by Mourinho since his second stint here, but this one really takes the cake. Ramires? Fuck off
