I don't think nationality comes into it, Meireles could be playing more because he offers a bit of both - attacking and defending (in theory he does, anyway). Ramires is a shoe-in for the energy he provides, a DM is our favourite position here at Chelsea and we had a choice there between Romeu or Meireles with Mikel and Essien injured till recently.
Hope that's sarcastic, the clip is from 4 or 5 years ago. I could post Torres videos from his liverpool days and caption it "who says torres can't score?" Lampard isn't helping his cause for regular action with his body language, is he? He looks wound up about being benched and more in the direction of a 'How dare you bench me?' wound-up rather than 'I'll show you why you shouldn't bench me.' wound-up. Not good.
Tired, pleased and vindicated. Been working my socks off past few weeks but my exam results last week were a great boost. Finally cleared the intermediate stage of my post grad degree in chartered accountancy. Been having some trouble with it for a year or so, it's good to get that monkey off my back.
BVB's going to go up another level next season with Reus coming in. Bayern have a battle on their hands for retaining their status as Germany's bona fide world class side.
Have to score, away goals and all that shit. Sadly, that's one thing we just can't do atm. Along with defending set pieces, closing down, keeping the ball, working spaces ... sigh.
Well I wrote one for Lukaku on bluetinted a couple of months ago, feel free to use if you like : P.S The Essien profile was actually submitted by me when the player profile feature was active last time round. It's currently credited to Bluelion. I also wrote pages for Malouda, Alex and Anelka; will try and locate Malouda's since the other two have left the club.
Get in! Happy with this. I don't believe our top 4 place is under threat, can't see Arsenal or scum catching up. For sure we'll falter in some fixtures but they will too.
