Bayern have Schweinsteiger and Javi Martinez playing in the central midfield while we have Obi Mikel and Ramires. Talk about being realistic.

Thanl God we have got you to judge that.

He scored against Bayern Munich as well but lets skip that as it does not fit the agenda.

He took 9 touches on the ball in the first half, attempted 4 passes and completed 2 of them. That is simply woeful.

Are you for real?

THIS

Oh the "sources"

TORRES

Maybe the club want him to play under a different coach in a different style, not that I would know a thing about playing styles of wartford or forest.

That is just rubbish tbh. Different players have different styles. Being a very good super sub is not everyone's cup of tea. Different players have diff style, hernandez at ManU for ex is a very good super sub but hopeless when he starts most of the times.

Absolutely. High time we put someone who can pass the ball well in that area of the field. Lampard lacks discipline, ramires' strong point is not passing and mikel/mvg are just "safe" passers. Besides given our other DMs are bullied around by the likes of Toure, Barkely, Fernandinho, no harm in trying players who will at least contribute in other ways.

Your argument would hold weight if the other 5 AMs were running riot with their "dynamism" and "strength".

That would be pardonable if he actually ends up putting in a good cross, which is rarely the case.

In the word of Rafa Benitez " Torres helps out at defensive set pieces" Could have done with that today.

He will be starting tonight in all probabilities. Fingers crossed, he won't repeat that 5 offsides in 60 minutes performance.

You did not have to wait for Eyo'o to make that conclusion. Chelsea's poor record with strikers has been one of the hallmarks of Abrahamovich era.

Yes Jose's responsibility should be to the club. It should not be about individual players, but it should also not be about a particular style of game (counter attacking or whatever fancy name you want to give it).

That is assuming we have players that will achieve better results in the Mourinho system than what we can with Mata in the non-Mourinho system.

You started by saying that last season, mata was more important as it was oscar's first season in PL so he was adjusting. Then you moved on to sayinh its no longer an issue as we have brought in KDB, willian, schurrle. Isn't this their first season as well?

Yeah

That is why it is always advised to look at videos and not screen shots in isolation

Yeah I am wrong. I had read this tweet, turns out that journo was joking :|

Ramires is not suspended. Super cup suspensions no longer carry over to other UEFA competitions.

Maybe if you see the goal again, you will notice that there was no other blue shirt closing down Barkley. Anyhow, blaming Luiz had always been an easy cop-out for commentators, so there you go.
