Clockwork

Lol I should start read over my post more often, yeah objective is the word. I don't think you understand my post. Nothing outrageous it is the same way Uefa determines the merit of league strengths and which league deserves more CL spots. Simply put Bundesliga have outperformed EPL in CL/EL, until PL does better in Europe they have no legit claim as the stronger league.

I'll be happy if he reaches Hulk or Dougles Costa level.

You can't look at both cases the same way, every case is different. Every player is different, one progresses faster while others go slower. RLC is playing wonderful football and he has momentum, should be given more minutes.

Honest question though, EPL is better based on what?Only objective way to compare the two leagues, is through how those two leagues have faired in European competition. Bundesliga has the edge, and PL are likely to lose one of their CL spots. Btw there goes Aresnal 4th place trophy on a positive note.

EPL stronger then Bundesliga???Lol based on what? The year is 2015 not 2008, Bundesliga is definitely stronger or at the very least on the same level. Pay attention to European competition results, where Bundesliga have done better and while EPL will probably also fall behind Serie A.

And?I hope Pep comes to EPL, and does exactly what you fear. It challenges the rest of the league to get better, it challenges Chelsea to get better and overthrow them. EPL is mediocre and only delusional people believe it is the best league in the world. The league needs a threat, just like the threat we were in Mou first two season at Chelsea. The league raised their level, and this was the start of the greatest period in English football. Nowadays EPL is in a state of mediocrity, we walked the league last season. Best team in this once great league, how did we fare against the best in Europe? We couldn't beat a 10 men PSG team, and they came in banged up with a lot of injuries. PSG is not even the standard, Bayern, Madrid, and Barca are the standard of world football. you should welcome a betterment of competition, in the grand scheme of things it is better for Chelsea.

Dude take off your blue tinted glasses, You can hardly count that as a kick. FA was right. Here is a reverse camera of the incident. https://streamable.com/qk8p?t=38.1

I honestly can never understand this way of thinking. My belief, values, and sense of justice comes first well before being a Chelsea fan. Honestly it is disturbing that so many would compensate their own beliefs and it shows a lack of character.

Not very paritel, you didn't mention Mou temper tantrums during the game. Look for the video, you will find that being called "native" was the least damaging thing he said to her. Also there is probably more going on then what me and you know. I would guess the situation has come to the point where she cannot continue her job, you could probably guess it will be quite difficult for her to continue her job when her medical expertise is in question. It is a problem when the manager over bounds his boundary and starts questioning her and how she should do her job. Anyway good luck to her.

Suarez is as much of a racist as John Terry. I will let you decide which is the case. Here is a reverse camera of the incidient. https://streamable.com/qk8p?t=38.1 Quite honestly people are focusing on the wrong part of the incident. The actual shove is the least of the issue, but maybe that was a red card offense i dont know. That did not do anything to damage the quality of the game. But the aftermath of the incident it was complete nonsense and damaged the quality of the game. Nobody(i hope) wants to see the childish back and forth between Costa and Gabriel, like kids on the playground. What is worse is the theatrics and the crowding of the ref to get a player sent off. That is cheating. Not sure how that is football or worth watching. Nothing in the incidient showed Costa as a tough or very masculine person. Only immature people could see Costa as tough or his actions as ammusing.

I think the poster you quoted is saying in general It is very ineffective. Gabriel is only a few victim in his years of thuggery and trolling on the pitch. Costa spends more energy on the pitch trying to pick a fight then actually try to score a goal. Really poor by Gabriel most don't bite. Another thing to look at is the implication of his actions on ref decisions in the future. We already seen him denied clear cut penalties, thanks in large to his characteristics. That is no doubt something that will continue, and you have to consider when you call his actions effective.

Is this game going to be broadcasted?

EPL is very poor from a tactical standpoint. Not hard to look like a tactical genius in this league.

I wonder why we never pursued Jordan Amavi, he went for mere 9m. I think he well maybe the best LB in the league. On Gaya, I think Madrid is in his future. Marcelo has been quit injury prone in recent years this Makes sense for both parties.

Mourinho fanboys like you just don't get it, it's the truth buddy. You don't see the big picture only see the short and immediate. I don't like the direction we are going with him, it was the case after winning the double it is the case after our worst start in 30 years. Nothing changes, nothing have occurred or seen to cause paradigm shift. It is not about moaning it is about wanting the best for the club. That will only occur under a new direction.

Ivanovic was never really good going forward lol, decent at best. Don't let his contributions on set plays confuse you, that does not count.

Right here what you want?

Costa is a disgrace, cant believe you guys are celebrating his actions. This is not football.

agreed first impression was not good, i will definitely give him time. But kinda disapointing seeing a player like Jordan Amavi go for a mere 9m.

you can't show up at the beginning of the season fat, and if I said he was our of shape that would be generous. Tbh this the only time I have criticized him or I feel he should be. I hope he learns from this. I feel this is the type things that would prevent him being one of the best. Going on the path of Wayne Rooney then CR7 at the moment. Rooney would show up fat and rest on his laurels at times, you would never see that from CR7 and this is why the gap between the two is so great atm and at one point Rooney was considered the greater talent.

I rather stop accommodating over the hill players.

The game was in Manchester. Anyway I hope nobody uses the same tired excuses on why didn't make it here ie "he wasen't EPL proven" "he only looked good because of Serie A is poor" Shame under more objective manager he would have done well.

Is this a straight up loan? Or is it one with a permanent deal? If so how much is the fee?

The same way we focused on Belgium talents a few years back with Hazard(2), KDB, Lukaku, Courtious, Musonda(3). We should do the same Portgual talents, I feel they are on a verge of a golden generation. Andre silva is another gem from Porto.

Don't forget about PSG. We could not beat them last season when they had all those injuries. A full fit PSG would wipe us off the floor.
