Courtois will concede at the near post.

Difficult to say, from what i read in Italian newspapers he said, "No, my english isn't good." and added "This isn't the moment to talk about my future." I don't think he was joking about anything at that moment as it was a sensible announcement to make, and already pissed off Spalletti. The most reliable papers are linking him to Bologna and Chelsea is mentioned as an afterthought. I think he will need some convincing to lure him here, and having Conte as manager could play a big role in that. It's too early to say anyway, it could go either way.

I doubt people will want Guus to play the likes of RLC and Traoré if they'd be giving the ball to the opposition for no reason or consistently shooting it out wide and never be in a good position. Most of us want Guus to play the younger guns simply because we believe they are better than the usual lazy idiotic starting XI. Courtois is no better than Begovic. Hell, i'd wager Blackman could defend the near post better than him at the moment.

Why didn't he start? Yes, he's lazy off the ball, but surely it was out there for everyone to see how much better than Oscar he is.

Traoré and RLC playing their hearts out. I'm liking Cesc today

What happened? Why the riot around the ref?

Leicester won! Fuck yes.

So, why hasn't RLC started this game?

Fucking RLC to the fucking rescue.

Rlc on at the 84'

lol

I think Germany is going down in quality, none of their U21 or around that age players really impressed me. We should look at France and Portugal, bring in André Gomes and William Carvalho, quality players and young.

That cross by Payet was beautiful!

lol Great goal btw.

Remy would've scored there if he was up against Courtois.

"Arguably the best back 4 for Chelsea this season!" Commentator on USA stream.

Time for the weekly shower of shite! Here i am!

Someone else chooses the lineup. Simple as.

Next season will be looking for a new manager if true.

I must be alone in genuinely liking Pedro, the guy was growing before his injury, cut him some slack, it's his first few months here on a sinking ship. And definitely better than Cuadrado

Not to mention, it was because of Allegri that this tie was still open last night. In a sense he was the most influential man out there, too bad he let himself down in the second half.

Some of our boys there will go hiding in the dark corners so as not to be seen, others will straight out request a transfer, who would want to give up the lazy fat life they are living right now.

For a moment there i turned a Juve fan. And i hate Juventus and all they stand for. You have to give them credit though. Allegri made and destroyed everything with his own hands. In the home game, with his subs left a door open, in the away game, again, with his subs, he closed that door.

If we play 3-5-2 with the current team. Tibo(Bego) Azpi-Terry(Cahill)-Zouma(Ivanovic) Willian(Pedro)-Fabregas-Baba(Kenedy) Matic-Mikel(Rlc) Costa-Hazard(Traoré) And that would be insanely, insanely, out of this world, grotesquely bad. That team would get slaugthered. But. We're not going to play this system. We're going to play 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. 4-4-2 it's the system Italy is playing right now.

I know what you are trying to say, and to an extent i share your view. On the other hand, this shows a lack of vision by whoever made this signing. Why not trust Traoré with minutes from the start? The kid had already shown some piece of skill back in the netherland, not to mention there is Kenedy who can play up top as well. On the other hand, Pato didn't play since november i think, he's known for his attitude, and, let's be honest, he's damaged goods. We did not need reinforcements in that repart as well, there is Remy, who, most of the times, when called upon, has delivered. Surely he's no worse than Pato. What we needed back in January was a cm or a cb or a fb. Did any player in those positions was signed? Nope. Pato was a low risk, no reward signing, did someone in their right mind think he would suddenly play as well as, maybe, in someone's eyes, in his Milan's days? It sums up our recent signings. A player who we do not need, and as a bonus is a crooked one. It was always going to end like this, 9 times out of 10.
