Same team against City except Luiz for Cahill

You use Neymar as an example and provide the others as promise players, but they need to deliver and have that 'clutch' mentality. I may be pre-maturely labeling them, but its just how I see it. If they prove me wrong, words eaten.

Sorry. It may be the start of their career, but I just don't believe that the likes of Neymar, Oscar, Fred, Hulk, Lucas, Willian, Alves, etc could ever match the quality of Romario, Zico, Pele, Garrincha, Ronaldo, Ronaldiho, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos. Players who I rate very highly but to a lesser extent that of Maradona and Messi. Just my opinion.

Talented yes, but no where near talented as your predecessors in my opinion. Talk about arrogance, get off your high horse. They haven't accomplished anything yet, they are raw young talented footballers representing a successful nation. This summer will allow everyone to prove thier worth

Same could be said with Italy, Germany, Argentina, Belgium, France, and Spain. All countries have their share of talented individuals who are capable of accomplishing great things. Does Brazil have a great chance of winning a world cup? Of course, but they have an equal chance as those above.

He was quality at Rayo

Willian was sublime.

After Uefa's starting 11 last year, I stopped taking any of that seriously.

If the reports are true and that Scolari really isn't keen on him, I stand by his decision to play for Spain. Can't stand the fact that because he was there since he was 18, it automatically grants him citizenship and the right to play for the national team, then again, if your own manager for your country doesn't want you and you want to expand your footballing abilities, I find it understandable I suppose. Spain will have one terrific team if him and Torres continue the form all the way until June

Rumors going around that it is Official. Diego Costa is signing papers to be allowed to play for Spain in the World Cup

Not disregarding Hazard's contributions for the club last season at all, but I find it incredibly laughable the fact he has made the shortlist whilst Mata's incredible contributions last season are nothing more than a whisper to Uefa officials. 20 goals, 36 assists in all competitions. PFA player of the season final nominee. Chelsea player of the season 2 years running. Un Fucking Believable.

I'm sorry but Luiz is one of the best CB's in the league and easily top 5 in the world, whereas Cahill is nothing more than a reliable squad player.

Reminds me of Duff so bloody much. Phenomenal work rate and has a presence of becoming a big game player

Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed. Seems like he's been putting in the extra effort in acceleration exercises. His pace was sublime

Sorry, can't hear you from all the way down in 7th

I'm sorry, but that is complete bollocks. Falcao has delivered on some of the biggest occasions, IE 2011, 2012 Europa Final as well as the Super Cup against us and has created goals that tore defenses apart. Just look at his performance last year against Barca, literally carried the team the entire game. The notion that he doesn't 'create chances for others' is bollocks as well imo. He's been in exceptional form for a while now, the entire Atletico team is. He's a perfect Mourinho type player which is why I'm assuming the massive interest. Hard work rate, great finisher on his day, and all in all a massive brute. We don't need him though, considering all of our forwards have been performing well as of late.

Hence me stating we should put pressure on their defenders so they don't have all the time in the world to distribute and lead a transition successfully. Demba Ba and Eto'o would both cause trouble for them as well as Mata's creativity. Many tend to overlook Eto's work rate, thankfully Mourinho doesn't

Considering Arsenal have the best defensive record going on for almost 18 months now, it's going to be difficult to break them. That is of course they field their same starting back line. I would try to put pressure on their defence and have more options up top which will allow Mata to blossom.

Passion like this has been missing from our Club for years. Long live Jose fucking Mourinho

Schurrle reminds me of Duff so bloody much. Not the most technically gifted, but his outstanding work rate makes up for it. Possibly one of the most exciting teams we've had

Would be tempted to put Ba, Mata, and Eto'o all on the pitch together. Eto'o has an under looked work rate, especially when utilized at the wing position. --------Demba Ba----- Eto'o----Mata----KDB ----Mikel-----Essien---- Bertrand---------Azpiliecueta ------Luiz-----Kalas---------- ----------Shwartz---------------

Like I've stated, Mourinho will always have the last laugh.

2-0 Barca. Cheeky Alexis chip Neymar needs to cut that theatrical diving out of his game. Utterly disgraceful and a shame considering he's a talented individual. Immature to judge Bale now, considering he has been struggling with injury and just came back into the starting 11. Brilliant result. I despise both clubs and their managers but Perez is on a whole new level. Hate that cunt with everything in my soul and what he stands for. Turned the most prestigious club in history into a laughing stock.

In today's market, I wouldn't even be surprised tbh. Especially with Perez still in charge
