Iced reacted to The Skipper in 🇪🇸 Fernando Torres
The amount of times Spain could've released Torres was shocking. They ignored gaping holes in the Irish defence that Torres was exploiting, ignoring him and carrying on with the Tiki Taka bull shit.

Creativity?
Creating chances. Starting up plays for attackers.
Linking up from defense to offense.
A more dictionary meaning for the role I envision Modric:
Some players prefer to set up an attack from a withdrawn position, and are often coined deep-lying playmakers, mainly because of their ability to spread play and dictate the game from a withdrawn position. Despite their deep role, they are not classed as defensive midfielders as tackling and defence are not the main function of their roles, and they may have to be supported by a holding midfielder.
Deep-lying playmakers are typically given a moderate amount of defensive responsibilities, but are granted freedom positionally to dictate the play as it evolves, as well as a license to attempt long riskier balls, to the forwards.
The essential attributes of a deep-lying playmaker include:
Good long passing ability, to play balls towards forwards and wingers. Crossfield wangers are typically attempted from deep when the opposing full back is drawn towards the middle and there is an open channel in the flank for the on rushing winger.
Stamina, to cover large distances in professional football. In the top football leagues, a midfielder covers upwards of 10 kilometres per game.
Short passing ability. Although many deep-lying playmakers have natural talent and creativity, they are expected to play short simple passes when deep in their half to avoid the possibility of a counter-attack. They are however given some degree of freedom in playing long passes deep into opposition territory.
Creativity/Vision. The deep-lying playmaker needs to spot openings and opportunities to build up play.
A good and sure first touch to control the ball when receiving passes under sustained opposition pressure.

I don't see any point in it honestly. If he wants to, let him play. We don't want him to hate the club.

Iced reacted to Jype in 🇧🇪 Eden Hazard
Apparently he'll be wearing number 17 next season. Huge pressure on him now, after all the number was worn prior to him by the almighty José "Monobrow" Bosingwa.

Iced reacted to termninja in Roman Abramovich Thread
A thread devoted to the coolest Russian in the world who has done so much for us. He has done something unique in the world of football and has given it a new force. What he has done was not something popular, but it worked and he made all Chelsea fans happy.
Big thanks gaffer!
And a small inside story you never heard of.
I know a certain manager here in Serbia who knows a few people who know Mateja Kezman. He told me that Mateja said that he was really impressed with Roman when he met him. He said that he never met someone so powerful, yet so much down to earth and relaxed. He also said that you would never see him wearing some ultra crazy expensive clothes, he is always acting casual and normal.

Iced reacted to Melanicus in Stamford Bridge Thread
This is such an epic building, absolutely iconic football stadium that will be. Chelsea Power Station or Battersea Arena is really scary, our opponents will shit their pants. And it should be like this, whole stadium is dark, fans are singing and opponents are shaking. When players step on the field, they lights from four chimnies drop lights on our players and leave opponents in dark. Oh, my imagination.

Iced reacted to manpe in 🇪🇸 Fernando Torres
Are you fucking serious? Look at the angle he was at... If he had taken a shot there and failed miserably, we would all be raging at him for not passing to Mata (like we did when he fucked up the pass/shot to Ramires against Sunderland). He did exactly the right thing, if you see a teammate in a better position, you give the ball to him. He did exactly what any other striker should have done.
