DYC.

I wouldn't go that far. Terry is still a better defender than both D. Luiz and Cahill, who are both solid but nothing special imo (that's the way I see it that is). Just look at his performances at the Euros. He was one of the better defenders that tournament as he's still a good defender. It's just his inconsistency issues and that's why we should be looking for a replacement as we really need a world-class option at CB.

Wish we'd rest him.

True. I hope the club has targeted Hummels as his replacement (next summer buy), unless Bruma does extremely well this season. He'd be perfect.

I'm confused. You do know Witsel is a offensive player right? Though he does get back and help out defensively.

It's the double pivot. 4-3-3 will improve our performances. Of course only with the right combination of players in the midfield three.

The responsibility of what? We're talking about Mikel's individual performance and his performance was poor. Terry, Ivanovic, Luiz and Lampard have also been criticized on the forum.

He's been okay on the ball but his defending has been poor. As a DM, that means he's had a poor game.

Thats because the double pivot sucks. For us that is. And people actually want Oscar in there.

We didn't park the bus! Torres goal! Ivanovic is a idiot..

I'll be watching that game too. I've been loving 'Osmar' this tournament, wonderful talents.

De Laurentiis letting Cavani go for £35 mil? No way.

Juve - Napoli like choulo said while brazil - mexico is also on today. Ligue 1 football (PSG) later on today as well.

Nobody wants to sit on the bench.

He's worked extremely hard to get here and it makes it even more special that he's a Chelsea man. Well done Ryan.

So we can probably expect this: Cech Ivanovic D. Luiz Terry Cole Mikel Lampard Ramires Mata Hazard Torres I'm not a fan of the 4-2-3-1 formation, think a 4-3-3 suits us better (with the right players). The most important thing for me will be our style of play. I just hope we don't go all defensive.

Luckily his technical ability is pretty poor while he relies on quality service, which could be a problem at Pool. But he definitely will score quite a few goals for them sadly. I don't normally do predictions but I do predict him scoring at least once when facing us.

That would be awful. Seeing Borini in a Liverpool shirt is disgusting enough.

It's very simple. Either he scores 25+ goals in all competitons, yes a Chelsea striker should be able to that, or we move on and learn a good lesson. As long as he plays a good amount of matches of course. And none of this anonymous displays in big matches. I'm not saying he should score in every big game of course but he should score in a few.

Ayew's basically Malouda Jr. really, talking about back when Flo was a quality player. Very similar players. Think this will turn out to be a good buy. And when facing teams who'll just sit back, we simply use him at RB due to his superior offensive game compared to Bran.

Unless we bring in De Rossi don't sell as he provides good cover and needed experience.

I meant him making a pretty good squad player but not expecting anything more than that. I actually forgot about the fact that SWP cost us a lot of money back then. Wasn't his fault anyway.

Training with class players only makes you improve slightly. And yes, he probably will start a few games but that's not what you want as a footballer. Marin's situation is different as he's (far) more talented than Moses imo. I personally don't think Moses has what it takes for the elite, like with SWP.

It's a good thing for us but bad for him. Great to have a player like him in the squad but it would be better for his own career to stay at Wigan or join another side where he'll actually play regularly. Hence the SWP II comment.

The same was said about Sheva and Torres. And that's why I said the club better be sure he will be able to adapt for this kind of money. You don't make buys based on assumptions or to hope for the best.

You have to be very good to fake your age being born in Belgium. SWP II in the making with this one.
