Regardless if he meant that to be public or not, he's been saying basically the same thing in the past couple of weeks. For example, on Saturday, after the match, he said "...we could not gamble much (at HT) because I know that our strikers don'st score much..."

Yeah, I remember one in the FA cup maybe that was a Ramires shot that hit Torres and went in. The official site had it down as a Torres goal, but later the dubious goal committee corrected it to a Ramires goal.

No, they're correct. The goals at least, I have no reference for the assists. But for the goals he has 19 in the PL, 3 in the FA cup, 3 in the League Cup, 9 in the CL, 6 in the Europa League, one in the Community Shield last season, and one in the European Super this season. 19+3+3+9+6+1+1=42 goals. EDIT: Fixed. Why does the official site has him down for 43 goals, though?

NO ONE will ever have a better cup run than that. You literally couldn't write this script. Stuff of movies.

Dude, no one likes a one-trick cat!

LMAOOOOO Inferiority complex much? :lol: Good bye, jerk

In a bit of rush so I'm going to answer briefly: - Our defense has been key, but Iva has no way been the best of the bunch. So how is he one of our best players this season? Unless you mean one of our best 10 players this season then I agree. - He should NOT be crossing in the first place. While the lack of finisher in the box is a valid reason, the crosses that do out for a goal kick or throw in are not anyone's fault but Iva's - Azpi was never accused of not closing down crosses. And while some did criticize his crosses, others praised them and said he was a huge improvement on Iva and Bosingwa. Haven't ever seen anyone praise Iva's crossing. Beyond that, Azpi has the technical ability and pace of a fullback while Iva simply doesn't.

That's not a fact, that's just your opinion. I think in defense alone, all of Terry, Azpi, Cahill and even Petr have had better seasons than Brana. I think he's had a decent season. Some great performances and a couple of big goals, but also some poor performances and some persisting issues such as crossing and closing down crosses. Overall average or slightly above that, imo. My belief that he's a CB and should play there has only been enhanced this season.

I like what I saw from them. Their system seems to work very well and suite their players. Can't say the same for Gala.

I'm excited about having Matic back here as much as the next Chelsea fan, I think he's exactly what we needed, but there is no point in denying that his performances against WBA, especially in the second half where he went missing, and against City where he left many gaps and was often ball watching, were below par. I'm not criticzing him for them. He's just arrived here and inconsistency till he settles in with the team is only normal. I'm just saying that he was back with a great performance after a week rest so maybe we do need to work on his stamina and not over play him.

Quite fast? Maybe for the Turkish league, but compared to the likes of Ramires, Hazard, Willian...etc. your players are quite slow. I don't mean this as intimidation or mind game or disrespect, but as far as I'm concerned, Galatasaray are the worst team left in the CL. I'm quite happy that we got you in the draw.

I love this one too.

LMAO

I'm definitely getting that! Beautiful.

Anyone got pics or a GIF or something of the hugs and celebrations at the end?

So basically we could be missing all of Luiz, Mikel, Oscar and Ramires in addition to the cup-tied Matic and Salah? That's just wonderful...

Only it took all ten Everton players to stop El Nino!

Credit to Everton yesterday, they marked him out of the game pretty well. McCarthy was on him every single time he tried to cut inside.

Would like to see him start in the number 10 position against Gala with Schurrle on the right.

Honestly the Cahill one was more terrible marking by CIty than a great delivery. It was an average delivery from Willian IIRC. I think he's our best crosser from set-pieces atm. I think what we do in training also has an impact. Last season we scored more goals from set-pieces than any other team in the league and quite a lot from corners. We must not be practicing corners enough in training.

Iva vs WBA? Cahill also hit the post from a corner vs CIty, and JT got one cleared off the line recently as well IIRC, and we did just score a 93rd minute winner from a great set-piece delivery But yea, I agree with the rest of your post. Frank lacks the consistency in his delivery from corners that he used to have and the rest just seem to either hit the first man every time or over hit it outside the box. WIth Mata gone, we really don't have a corner delivery specialist. I always wondered about Luiz maybe taking them...
