Courtouis, Thats how we convince one of the best young GKs in the world to join us. Now that you joined, you can wait for 5-6 years before you get a look in.
To top it all we were tagged as the enemy of football and that football won apparently. We missed our chances that night. Any otter referee at from any division would have given atleast one of those penalties. The number of heartbreaks a Chelsea fan has suffered over the years in UCL is unbelievable. We couldn't beat a 10 man Monaco team and then get done at the bridge. We lose to a ghost goal We lose on penalties Terry penalty kick after Ronaldo misses his. Ovrebo the bald cunt. I so badly want Barcelona in the Champions League final an want us to score the winner in the 90th minute via John Terry
The arrival of AVB has seen us break two hoodoos in recent times. 1. We finally win a penalty shootout in a competitive game. 2. We finally get the better of Everton at the bridge. Would the 3rd one be winning the champions league this season? Amen to that
Look there are two aspects to his game. 1. The defensive and holding ability. There is no doubt that he is superb at that. 2. Distribution of ball and set up counter attacks. Something he lacks a great deal. My problem is with the second point. How many times have u seen Mikel set up counter attacks? Something that makalele was superb at. Win the ball and pass it forward. Mikel wins the ball takes few touches and then either passes it back or laterally. He very rarely plays the ball upfront. Something even Ancelotti admitted that he has been telling Mikel to do more often. I think it was against Swansea and the commentator rightly pointed out couple of instances where he wins the ball and takes three touches while Swansea players move back to their positions. But his other aspect of the game Whig is winning the ball and holding it or defending it is without a doubt superb!!
So lampard isn't blamed for this draw now? Last time they absolutely blasted Fabio for starting lampard cus of whome apparently they labored to a 1-0 win. Today they draw and I don't see Lampard bashing yet. May be his presence on bench caused the draw then I guess
