WBAFCofficial @WBAFCofficialThe Baggies fans are again clapping during the eighth minute in tribute to Chelsea's 8-0 thrashing of Villa #wba Gotta love the WBA fans. Can we send more youngsters to them on loan?!
FACT: Julio Cesar won the treble with Inter Milan, conceding just 34 goals. Today, he concedes his 34th goal for bottom of the league QPR. QPR = Quality Players Ruined. QPR=Quickest premier league relegation. Whatever you like!!
Rafael Benitez: "I think it was a great win for us. Character, commitment, quality." Benitez: 'It was a great win and the players showed passion, commitment and character.' #CFC Benitez: 'We put Ramires on the right against Baines and he had a great game and we knew Lampard could score goals.' #CFC Benitez on Cech injury: "He felt something. We don't want to take any risks. We'll have to do a scan and see what it is." Thigh problem Benitez reports Petr Cech has a muscle injury and will be scanned to assess how long he will be out. #CFC Benitez: "Japan was important for us, because we were together a long time. Still we are making mistakes, but the team is much better." Benitez: 'Now it is importnat to recover quickly for the QPR game. They are struggling a bit but that makes them dangerous.' #CFC Benitez does not expect John Terry to be fit in time for the QPR game. #CFC Benitez: 'Frank Lampard is under contract and he is doing well. My job is to keep him fit, playing well and scoring goals.' #CFC
Who wouldn't want to have those players playing for us just like the old times but that train has passed. You just need to put your faith in the youngsters now.
Yep, pretty valid point but you just can't dismiss that the youngsters won't be able to pull something similar. As everyone knows, they are all very talented bunch, have that raw energy of a youngster who wants to prove the world that they are the best and have that hunger to win the league after getting knocked out of the CL group stages. Experience will come from Lampard/Terry/Cech. Yes, they might be naive but i somehow feel that they have it in them to do whats required.
It's too early to judge anything. Man utd offense is the only thing that's keeping them at the top of the table. They have no midfield. Their defense in not that great, they don't have a world class goalkeeper. Lets not forget the business end of the season is yet to start. A draw and a loss for Utd and the lead will be cut down to just 2 points with Utd playing in the CL as well. You just don't know what can happen between now and the end of the season.
Remember carlo's second season. We were 15 points behind Utd and that too in February. By the time we had to go Old trafford, we were just 3 points behind. So i wont lose hope so early, yes it will be difficult but 8 points with 18 more games to go. ANy thing can happen.
I asked about Manuel Pellegrini is the la liga thread and someone replied me saying he thinks he is pretty good coach. With all the Malaga's financial problema and them getting banned from UEFA competitions, we can lure him in. Who would you rather have? Pellegrini or Rafa?
