villa doing well so far.. very organized. hope benteke comes off the bench and upsets city.

very very different scenarios. what were our defensive options then? JT, DL. thats it. alex was sidelined and sold in the same window as GC was bought. his only competitors were a 30 odd year old JT and a DL who could never cement his place as a CB. things are different in the mid. matic and cesc have just been bought and i cant see them not being our backbone. rambo is a brilliant rotation player. mikel has his uses when closing the game out. dont think shelvey can be used for that. so i cant see him playing in the pivot for us. for CAMs, we already are pretty much set for the long term.

why do we need english players who is the star of some other club (good or bad). our core is ALREADY here. oscar, hazard, willian, schurrle, salah, cesc, matic, rambo, costa. these are players who are 26 or below. what we need our squad and fringe players. and with the talent we have in our youth players, why not give those players a chance?

you are giving wenger way to much respect. after the 6-0 thumping, they lost 3-0 to everton which was as massive a humiliation specially cos arsenal could have lost their 4th spot if everton had not self destroyed. they will play the same way and try to play their attacking brand of football. there is a reason why its been 11 winless matches for the voyuer. i have no doubt its going to be 12th too and that we would win it convincingly.

we have a core of english young players who have the potential. baker, RLC, boga in the CAM position. traore who will be considered as HG. if buying shelvey is mainly cos he will be HG, then that will be a poor decision especially since i cant see swansea selling him for a reasonable fee for a squad player who would barely play for us. also, we have so much talent in our own youth and loaned out players that buying squad players is not the best decision. someone like thorgan can easily take that role, cant he? just feel this is a transfer which has 0 possibility of happenin.

tom cleverly, delph, nolan, parker, heskey, crouch... i mean i could go on and on and on. why do we need shelvey and to replace whom?

i reply to post about chelsea cos i love the club unlike people who just want to crib about our team. also, atleast i am not some glory hunter whose joining date is 23rd may 2012, 4 days after our CL win!!! this is the 2nd time he has come up with the "go and tell your mama" stupidity. i mean iran is hardly a pure and pious country. should i be replying his racial comments with racism from my side or what am i supposed to do? anyways, tired of talking to a person who thinks we had a "circus of a performance" and that GKs are helpless and useles 99% of times?

all i hear is a baby crying... waah waah waah!!!! god your life must seriously suck for u to take out all your frustration and pent up energy on this site. and make stuff up? so i am making stuff up that patricio STOPPED the costa 1v1, the oscar 1v1, the salah 1v1, that he intercepted the thru ball that matic played to costa outside his own box? LOL-MAX man... now i am not even sure that u saw the match. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2775711/Jose-Mourinho-heaps-praise-Sporting-Lisbon-s-Rui-Patricio-keeper-stops-Chelsea-scoring-four-five-goals.html JOSE must be a "blind mule" too then?

their fans are actually "DELUDED". chelsea fans and united fans are pre-warned them about basel but apparently nothing can stand in the way of a the LOLpool juggernaut!!!

agree about xaVi. not so about xaBi.

Oh so keepers do make a difference? I dint know!!! I rhought 99% of time they were redundant. :lol:I mean all patricio did was SAVE 4 1v1 and put a great tackle to stop costa from reaching a thru ball from matic.So that somehow makes it as an average night for the guy Maybe a blind mule could indeed SEE that we missed chances but an intelligent human being could as easily see how good the GK was. Well, eaxh to his own specie then. . We will let the mods decide that.

i claimed cech was the main reason. u said cech was one of our best players... woooowwww what a massive difference!!! the cech point was made to make a simple point get inside the hollow thing on the top of your head that GKs can affect games too sometimes. like cech did for us against barcelona and bayern. like patricio did for lisbon last night. unfortunately, to much strain for the thing u call a brain. and of all the AWESOME COMMENTS u have made, this one takes the cake man. that keeper had nothing to do with it for 99 percent of the time. now i actually get an insight of how u think. so its simply not worth it. "we were fucking wasteful..waaaaahhh"... sounds like a broken tape-recorder. as for the racial content of me "worshipping cows" i am gonna report u. so thanks a lot!!!

what happened?

TURAN!!!!!!!!!!! come on!!!!

oh dear mother of god!!!! http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/18970-sporting-lisbon-chelsea/?p=993725 http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/18970-sporting-lisbon-chelsea/?p=993754 http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/18970-sporting-lisbon-chelsea/?p=993795 its like talking to a monkey. a dumb monkey. where exactly did i say he was the only player? please... please tell me that. another brilliantly LOL comment. also the analogy was to prove the part the GK played. read the post where i bring in cech. sometimes, a GK having a WC performance means a world of difference. ps - sanchez was 1v1 when he hit the side netting. cech had the near post covered. go and watch the match again rather than sounding idiotic.

the idiotism just keeps on increasing. so now cech was not one of our best players in the CL campaign? lets just take a look at all the clear cut chances that barca created sanchez hitting post cesc missing his shot after cech saves iniesta shot sanchez one on one and hits the side netting, cesc cleared off the line messi header stopped by cech puyol header brilliantly stopped by cech busquets golden chance with the last touch. and this was just the first leg. lets go to the 2nd leg messi one on one -side netting cole clearing chip off the line cech saves one on one with messi, JT blocks the rebound cech saves puyol shot iva block one on one penalty save sanchez header stopped tello(i think) one on one stopped messi shot stopped and hits the post (cech brillaint save) mascherano shot all this is just out of the top of my head. but dont let me stop u from u delusions of grandeur that barca simply dint have any chance and that cech had a very easy outing just cos a "bus" was parked in front of him. (this does not mean that i dont understand the importance and the effort our defence and each and every one of our player had put in on those 2 days. but sayin cech was not our best player on those 2 days is just LOL) from "circus like performance" to this post, everything has been a brilliant comical read.

juve could afford to take it seriously cos they dint have the pressure of domestic league. they had literally run away with it. i dont expect any such thing to happen with city.

and who made u the sheriff of what i post? i dont reply to posts and comments with the sole intention of creating trouble. i have already said why i want city to be a QFs or a SFs. if u cant understand simple english, its not my fault. it helps us cos it diverts their attention from PL which is the main priority for us. look what happened to us cos of CL and PL title challenge last season. it ended up costing both. also, who cares if "people" will say that city and chelsea won cos of money. we know the truth. we know what happend. and what those victories meant. but just so as to prove a point to some "people" in an argument, i wont endanger our present. city having a run in CL suits us. city's forwards are definitely short of players. aguero, dzeko, jovetic, silva, navas, nasri, milner for 4 positions out of which aguero and jovetic are real injury prone. yaya, fernando, fernandinho for 2 positions.

YES!!! we DID win because of cech's brilliance. it was not a one-man show but a lot of it has to be given to cech. he was our MOTM without a doubt. also, the analogy here makes us barca while sporting is chelsea, just in case u dint understand the analogy i was trying to put forth. our "wastefulness" is being compared to barca's just like patricio's awesome performance is being compared to cech's

Totally get what you are saying. City in a CL QF/SF is much better for us than they going out in the group stages (which at the moment seems likeliest) and giving all their attention to PL.

Not a good comparison? Why? Dint barca LOSE cos of cech's brilliant performance? Was not he pivotal in our CL final victory? If the nani shot had gone in then we would have drawn a match that we should have won but were thwarted by the lisbon keeper.

Why should jose "drop" iva? In the last 3 matches we have played Azpi-luis - bolton Iva-azpi - villa Iva-luis - lisbon He is rotating our FBs well. Plus except for the city match, iva has been GREAT. Last season people were cribbing about his offensive contribution but now that he has a target to cross to and in general has been freat offensively, they are knit picking on a couple of defenaive errors.

Not worth it.Its like saying cech had nothing to do with our victory against barca, it was just barca being wasteful.

Smsh them, annihilate them. Anither 6-0. No arteta, wilshere or ramsey. A joke of a mid and a bigger joke of a defence. Players should be up for it and give then a good spanking. Courtois Iva GC JT AZPI matic cesx Willian oscar hazard Costa
