You have a brilliant football mind mate

http://talksport.com/football/he-will-be-big-surprise-mourinho-hails-chelsea-teen-sensation-150305138608#JGwSTapB4ZyVGSlh.99 Mourinho on RLC. He said: “I had Ruben Loftus-Cheek on the bench and I have to say that, in my opinion, next year, this kid will be a big surprise in the Premier League “This season, if I was not playing for the title and we were not playing with the pressure we have, this kid would already be on the pitch.” I feel Ake is more ready. But RLC and Ake are different midfieldplayers. Ake is a DM, while RLC is a CM not a DM. I think Mou played Zouma instead of Ake because of his a physically. RLC is not a DM so couldn't really play that role especially given the profile of the games. I feel Ake should/should have been given few a apps even as a sub. I rate him very highly. He is tactically mature, good tackling, has energy.

So we should adapt the tactics of the teams we are beating. Yeah, that's makes alot of sense.

Gotta be a man/woman of your word mate

Wow, How can you wish that anyone, you have no heart dude

yes indeed. Among other things, this is one of the big differences btn him and Willian. Cuadrado's off the ball movement is not as good as Schurlle's but certainly much better than Willian's. Willian and Cuadrado are similar but also quite different. Willian's off the ball movement is almost non existent, and for me that is his biggest weakness when on the wing. He will pass the ball and stand, instead of making runs in behind the defenders. I love Willian but that aspect of his game is very infuriating. It takes the potency out of our attack. The other infuriating thing about Willian's game is the one trick pony dribble. I feel like slapping myself whenever he does it. He does a body fake and goes to the right. I think every single Premier league defender must know this; you almost always see the defenders position themselves in a one vs one with him knowing that he is gonna do a body fake and go to right. I shout at my tv saying don't do it, AND HE DOES IT EVERY SINGLE FUCKIN TIME. IT"S SOOO INFURIATING. I love Willian but that is frustrating as fuck.

Blah blah, your rants are getting boring. Our attack wasn't the problem in this game, it was the defense. And Remy was partly at fault on the second goal for failing to track back as he was playing on left attack. Remy is good, but not what you are trying to make him out to be. He is a pacy forward player who needs space. He has terrible hold up play and his link up play is not good either. That's why he plays in games where we have plenty of space. Drogba might be old, but his hold play, link up play, and aerial play are superior to Remy's. That why he plays in games where teams sit back and we don't have enough space. It's simple common sense mate, not your foolish hullabaloo

Yes Zouma and Christensen have to win the first ball on the long throw. But Cahill completely ignores his man, which means Azpi has to leave his and try to cover for Cahill. The goal is not Azpi's fault. It's Zouma, Cahill, and Christensen's and to some degree Remy's too because he too far from the action when tracking back

What about them, Elche is one of the worst teams I've ever seen.

He is sOoo overrated, it's not even funny. I mean he is good... but no where near what some people think he is! He is a SWP 2.0

And he is still growing

For those who have been bleating about how the team sets up in the last mins when leading. https://twitter.com/_The12thMan/status/531509558704082945/photo/1 This is how Arsenal was set up while leading 1-0 in the 74th minute. They ended up loosing the game 2-1 to Swansea. It was soo foolish. In-fact Gomis was called offside with 13 mins to go at almost the half way line. Both CBs holding a high line and both FBs pushing on forward like wingers, I mean really

He is a class act, Didier Drogba out having photos with young Shrewsbury fans, 30 mins after final whistle. http://t.co/zgy4oxAHJi — Mark Chapman (@markchapman) https://twitter.com/markchapman/status/527221375480897536' class="bbc_url">@ He is a class act, Didier Drogba out having photos with young Shrewsbury fans, 30 mins after final whistle. http://t.co/zgy4oxAHJi — Mark Chapman (@markchapman) https://twitter.com/markchapman/status/527221375480897536

3 goals in 3 games; youth is temporary, class is permanent. I see the haters have ran into their caves!

:tophat: You summed it up perfectly. For Reuben, it will be about attitude, personality/how bad he wants it? And he about that age(18-21) where those things really determine how he will end up.

No, Azpi is awesome 99.999% of the time. :blue scalf:

Now that we can agree upon

I think Cahill will never be able to get rid of the backing off backwards thing as attackers square off against him. I get nightmares whenever an attacker decides to run at him.

So Isreal- they are god's people. You and the rest of us are satan's people. :woo: Let me rephrase, so missionaries from Isreal over centuries go around the world spreading the "word of god", i.e telling people that they are sinners and should abandon their belief systems and that their land is not holy. That Israel is the holy land and the rest of us are on damned lands. And Israelites are the holy people etc. I think you get where I'm going. I'm a spiritual person and was brought up in a staunch catholic family; but the Bible is full shit. I for one believe Africa is the holy Land and its people, my people are the chosen ones.

I suppose you are at Cobham everyday, see them and interact with them daily and you are an expert in youth development.

Almost had me there

Azpili at CB

I don't know if you realized that Brown is a striker/winger/SS hybrid in the mold of a Thomas Muller. They are not competing together. Brown has to compete with Bamford, Solanke,Perica and the other Strikers or Striker-AM hybrids like Thorgan, Traore for the first team. RLC has to compete with Baker, Chalobah, Van Ginkel, Romeu, Pasalic and other CMs/DMs coming through for the first team. If Costa,Remy and Drogba are injured or rested; the coach won't call RLC, but rather Brown or Solanke. Or in Pre-season, if Torres, Eto', are coming back late due the world cup or injury, or etc. The coach won't call RLC, but rather Brown, Solanke, Perica, Bamford Lukaku, Feruz,etc depending on availability or who has earned it.

Was very good for the U21s against Everton today, he scored a brace too. This kid is just incredible.
