Lol, and Oscar's the player Mourinho ditched Mata for, FFS.

Ehm, interesting choice(s) to say the least.

Ballack was the prototypical box-to-box midfielder who would play wherever you used him and who was able to adept to every position you put him in. Not only was he an amazing player in his prime but he was also one of the greatest leaders on the pitch (Germany has been crying out for such a player ever since he didn't feature for the national team anymore). How can you not build a team around him, let alone not implement him?

But it was THE BEST THREAD EVAR

Where's the Tommy thread gone?!

The wording was "far". Willian doesn't excel in any of these aspects far better than Moses, especially his decision making and intelligence are as bad/good as Moses's.

In which aspects exactly "far more"?

Isn't that what we critisized Moses for at the end of last season?

Then what?

Germany has such a system and it's perfectly fine. What exactly do you find insulting?

He's not going without a title, and rightly so. Frank deserves to win at least one trophy before he retires.

One or two Liverpool and City games and we can officially call this season a failure.

It's funny because people we're going on about how we were too dependent on Mata last season and concluding his sale would lead to a more balanced and system-based type of offensive play. Welp, nothing really has changed except Hazard is the "new Mata" now.

Willian is the absolute anti-Kalou. Good on the ball but as soon as he has to make that final decision he fucks it up completely.

If the ref sees that it's a red and a penalty. Oh well.

I think Varane asked CA to not play him more than once a week or so due to an injury he suffered from back in November which itself sidelined him 2 months.

We already had one, "The TalkChelsea Show". Great times, great times.

Ugh, I don't really like team passengers like him kissing the badge. That's something you should only do when you haved played long enough for a team but not as an ordinary player who's been just a few months at the club. Otherwise the symbolism loses its value.

"Mia san raus", am I right, Bayern?

Can't wait for United to offer a ridiculous sum for him.

Exactly, there's just some extreme vibe about these CL games (especially semi finals).

I don't know why but I have a good feeling about this game. 2-0 Chelsea.

Luiz is gonna get a yellow. There's just no way around it.

Truer words have never been spoken.

We handed the title to City on a silver platter. Do your fucking job now and let Gerrard be the guy to lose Liverpool the title.
