  1. Zolayes was talking about a mass exodus of players from the club. Seven players at one go with no surety of good replacements could in fact cost the club. This could mean an exit from the top 4, and that that could lead to even worse repercussions... I agree to the fact that the players you mentioned do need to be replaced. But only... eventually. There's no evidence that we have ready-made replacements for each position.
  2. In his latest interview, AVB said he believes that Sturridge has qualities similar to Hulk...hope he's right...
  3. Can you also tell me how many times Mata/Malouda tracked back when Valencia was double-teaming on Bosingwa. And how many attacks down their left were actually successful?
  4. Right winger definitely Anyone else notice that Mata was ineffective down the right against Valencia? It was only after he and Malouda switched flanks in the second half that things clicked into place for us... So the option of using Mata as a right winger is probably out of the question, which leaves us with.....nobody. The real question is: Does AVB want a right winger? I remember in one of his earlier interviews, he said that he preferred having a 4-3-3 with one natural wide player and one second striker who drifted around....sounds familiar doesn't it?
  5. Well I ju------ Forget it. I just find you entire post disagreeable.
  6. Yeah its annoying when the abuse goes on and on...at this rate we'll be no better than Le'Arse fans (not that Kalou would do an Adebayor)..it was a stupid mistake but a mistake nonetheless...It just happened to be made by a player in poor form and one obviously held in poor regard...
  7. Biggest ever scoreline in European cup competitions if I'm correct... At least our "History" is interesting, even if we don't brag about it.....
  8. Cech...kept us in the game for as long as he could and definitely helped us get a result.... Didn't deserve to concede though...
  9. The team as a whole was rather careless today....exemplified by Kalou's late handball. Very unprofessional... Should have made the most of those chances, but when you take everything in it was a fair result and actually a good one.
  10. I think a lot of people are taking our draw for granted... While its not difficult to see how easily we've won, I say the result could have easily gone the other way. Sloppy from the team and, a spade is a spade, a tad bit sloppy from AVB. Nothing serious, just sloppy...
  11. Also remember,we can't and actually shouldn't win EVERY game in our group... History shows that teams which win every game in the group screw up in the knock out stages. So in essence, a draw is great as long as it keeps us on top of the table...
  12. Sigh...I felt Cech played brilliantly today, didn't really deserve to concede... And Kalou actually punched the ball? Careless....
  13. Lol, I was expecting Drogba to come on when the sub was being made... Then I was like: "Nooooo AVB you're supposed to instill fear in them...not make them laugh!"
  14. That was a wrong move by AVB in the end, I feel... I know its important to keep the older players fresh....but removing Lampard to bring in Kalou when we had to defend a lead was mind-boggling.. Was actually expecting Drogba to come in for Malouda/Mata and get some game time before the weekend clash
  15. Valencia have settled down well, but I still think they're defensively a bit frail at the back. I'm surprised we haven't made more of our opportunities so far... Mata seems relatively subdued today (not unusual) and so the rest of the team is looking a bit clueless...Ramires seems to have slowed down a bit after that knock on the leg Glad that we've kept a clean sheet though
  16. Ah well you know that feeling...the one where you think your team can take out absolutely anyone? Its no wonder if some of the Chelsea fans are feeling that way now...
  17. Yeah...if we can nullify Van Persie, Arteta and Arshavin/Gervinho the job should be half done. BTW Yossi can't play against us can he?
  18. That's because he's worried we'll try to use the same open tactics we used against Man Utd, and play into Arsenal's hands... All our recent victories against them were down to us maintaining an iron grip on the match, and playing on the counter. Hopefully our defense will be a lot more solid, (the way it used to be) when we do meet them
