when strikers simply don't know how
If you play football yourself, you have most likely experienced something similar. I remember one our game and one pretty fast and tough cross, one defender in front of me wanted to keep off and it suddenly hit me hardly in the chest and straight into the net lol. I couldn't breathe for a while but I scored and we won
There are some rumours that Fabio Capello is seriously thinking of giving the armband back to John Terry, the REAL captain. Not only for one game, but permanently. Thoughts? Fully deserved definitely, he is a natural leader. However, Capello will not make friends by this decision lol. Fully story
Some stats I found a few moments ago - Since the start of season 2009/2010 Chelsea have had the advantage of a penalty kick 20times which makes us the top of the imaginary table. Aston Villa is second (14). At average, Didier Drogba was more on his own half with his defenders than up front. Only John Terry and David Luiz were more at the back. Didier Drogba's passing - only 53% of his passes were successful.
This whole thing about his first goal must be pretty fustrating for Carlo. Not because of the fact Nando hasn't scored for him yet but because of journalists. We can see it - pre-match and post-match conferences and still the same questions about Torres, about his goal, about how he believes in him etc.
Having seen our remaining fixtures, and Man United and Arsenal's, I believe we can do it. If we want to win the title, we have to win at Old Trafford anyway. And three points gap is nothing if you really see United's fixtures. Anyway, at least we are not discussing the possibility of being fifth etc any more. The main goal is hopefully done already.
Plus, they always do score at least one goal in front of their own fans, no matter who the opponent is. We could easily break a new record You just knew they were going to score, with the sloppy play we showed towards the end of the game.
