he's been a top scorer of Polish 3rd, 2nd and 1st division. 3rd top scorer of Bundesliga in 2011/12 netting 22 times (no penalties) and 6 assists in 34 matches and being a top scorer in German League Cup with 7 goals he's now a joint top-scorer of Bundesliga so far, playing in top divisions of Poland and Germany he has scored overall 94 goals in in 192 matches. basically a goal every 2nd game. the only team he had trouble playing in is our national team where he doesn't have anybody to play with and has to go deep to lead our play.. he is now 24, scoring goals for fun in Bundesliga and CL. we signed Drogba when he was 26 and nobody believed he was worth the money.

too. much. photoshop.

surprise, surprise. who would have thought
-
that's why we should rob the legend who not only played and won cups for us but also led us to our greatest club success from the opportunity of winning the Club World's Championship to let the man that said we lacked passion have a good start? okay I wonder if you would react the same way if for example Rafa brought Ferdinand and started him in the CL final instead of JT. There's no room for sentiments in football, right? it's just a regular business, isn't it? looking at this situation, man really must have been right. we do lack passion.
-
For me it was a penalty, there was a contact and the diver used it. Even that couldn't help them.
-
I bet he should fire his staff in heat of the moment after some kind of a loss.

They realized RDM was on the market

I felt that the third Juventus goal was our fault in playing wide but when you think about it: 2 Juventus goals came out of rebouns 1 WBA goal came out of Luiz's mistake and the other header from Odemwingie was from static play and bad covering. Liverpool - cunt Suarez fouled Ramires two great goals from Donetsk great goal from Swansea as no one pressed the player outside the box crazy game against United that I didn't watch but the scoreline 5-4 was horrific another Luiz mistake - own goal against United, cunt Persie scoring one and Hernandez being offside.. tought two goals against Donetsk once again lucky goals from Defoe (rebound) and Gallas - header from the end-line and one goal from Norwich that didn't actually matter
-
21 acutally
-
I would attribute that horrific to individual errors of our players, but oh well.
-
do you really think that appointing Benitez will change how our defence makes mistakes every now and then?

here's what Mourinho said about Lamps after working with him for only 1 year: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/137300/Chelsea-4-Blackburn-2.html Everybody tries to stay positive but the discussion was about Fergie's words who happened to be true this one time. Robbie deserved to go to Japan for that trophy. That's it. The board could have waited another 2 weeks. There are only 5 matches between today and the CWC. Four of them being Fulham, West Ham, Sunderland and FC Nordsjaelland which I think we would have won with Robbie.
-
tbh my feeling about this game hasn't changed a tiny bit because I always believe we can outperform any team in the world.
-
I'm not saying Jose wasn't important, I really consider him as THE most important manager in our history, but Roberto deserves majority of the credit for that CL win. What I think Robbie did was not great tactical approach to the game but bringing the heart back after that terrible spell with Andre. Yep, Lamps was already considered one of the best midfielders out there, that's why Mourinho planned the midfield around him. The Cech's distribution nowadays is far different to what he did under Mourinho. We don't have many tall players nowadays so we have to play it from the back. do you really feel he was brought here till the end of the season to make some kind of a wonder? of course he's just a filling for the gap between we get a proper manager.
-
yeah but it was after the season Mourinho took charge so I didn't want to sound as Jose had nothing to do with Lamps being the player he is. I think that saying best European player should be counted as the best player in the World
-
The CL is not in our hands anymore. We need other team to change our situation, nothing Benitez can fix. I wouldn't say our form in the league was "that" bad. We fucked few games, but we could handle the situation until January. We always go through bad period in November/December and Robbie was the only manager fired for that. And I'm not saying he should get a whole season, as I know that football clubs are also investments now, but 2 weeks until the CWC or some time after January window wouldn't change our situation so dramatically.
-
Well if Mourinho did help Cech with his ball contribution that he should hang his head in shame, becuase that's the only thing Cech's been criticized for. The man we should be thankful for polishing Mikel is Carlo Ancelotti. He was the man who helped John reach the higher level. Lampard was chosen as the 2nd best player in the world, behind Henry, the season before Mourinho took charge. Can't say Jose made him world-class either. Of course Robbie didn't build the last year's team. He gave them confidence, hunger and passion. He collected everything all the previous managers worked on and put the best team possible that night. It wasn't a pretty victory, but a glorious one after all. It's biased to credit how this man changed the whole season to managers who worked few years back. @edit - excuse me, I made an error above. He was chosen 2nd best player in the PL, not the world.
-
I don't think he'll ever be considered world's best. He's too slow and too skinny, doesn't have that "magic" in him. What he will give you though is a top 3 striker working hard for every team he played for, trying to fulfill his dream.
-
Well, Roberto lost only 12 out of 36 and tbh the only games I blame him for were WBA and Swansea. We got robbed against Man Utd, couldn't convert our chances against QPR and that cunt Suarez scored a goal after fouling Ramires. He did make few mistakes but I felt that with January window he would change a lot of things, especially this wanker up-front as he realized he's not good enough for anybody in the last games. Champions League is a different story as we had two teams that were unbeaten for a huge amount of time. Can you really compare Juventus and Shakhtar to Genk, Valencia or Bayer Leverkusen?
-
How could Mourinho influence Cech? Did he change his keeping style or what? When we bought Cole he was already one of the best left-backs in the world and both Cole and Mikel played roughly over 1 season with Mourinho. Please don't tell me he made them great players they are now... The only player that was a rough diamond polished by Jose was Drogba and tbh if it wasn't for that Cech penalty save he would be called a villain instead of a hero. He also gave that penalty away that Messi couldn't convert. Isn't football succes always a result of couple of years of hard work? Mourinho had as much to do with us winning the trophy as all the previous managers, well maybe except Scolari. He did give us Bosingwa tho :eyebrows:
-
Maybe because we lost 21 out of 36 possible points between December and his departure? Maybe because we got beaten 3-1 in Naples and if it wasn't for Drogba's heroics against Valencia we wouldn't even get past group stage? Not to mention his fallout with the squad and humiliating defeats and draws against the likes of: Everton, WBA, Aston Villa, MU, Liverpool and the unforgetable 5-3 to Arsenal? And I said that he would've won twice because somebody asked whether I'd rather Di Matteo or Benitez against Fergie. Only 4 out of 11 players who played that night in Munich were signed by Mourinho and the only players I can say that played as if it was Mourinho's Chelsea were Lamps and Drogba, whereas I don't recall Lampard having so much defensive duties as he had under Robbie. Please don't say that the good old - sit back and wait for the counter is mainly attibuted to Jose. It's been used in the past for so many times. How about we say that we played like the Euro 2004 winners Greece instead of Mourinho's Chelsea? Especially considering we didn't have as much width as we had under Mou.
-
Since when were JT, Lamps and Cech Mourinho's foundations? Hate to say but I agree with SAF. How difficult would it be to give the guy a chance just for two more weeks to get that CWC he deserved. Instead a fat waiter will come and claim a trophy he had nothing to do with. And if somebody says Di Matteo didn't build our 2011/12 squad, have you even wondered what the coaching stuff is supposed to do? It's not like they get paid for nothing. We thought our season was lost and Di Matteo revived us from the dead. Dunno if you remember but if it wasn't for referees in that Premier League game SAF would've lost to Di Matteo twice.. The record was W1 L1
-
Oscar or Hazard.. whatever. What we really need is Lewandowski!

an old player well past his prime? YES! let's bring him back!
