Good goal, great play. Mata's gesture for Oriol in his celebration was very classy.

Stop wasting chances FFS!

Alright let's smash 'em. COYB :cfc:

Subs: Turnbull, Hilario, Ferreira, Bertrand, Ramires, Lampard, Marin, Piazon, Saville, Moses. Rafa is trying Luiz in the DP to weigh up his options of replacing Mikel and Romeu

lol just remembered that I had the shoutbox disabled in my settings a long time ago because it slows everything down.

Too early for lineups, the team is still in the hotel:

We had a shout box?

Well this was totally uncalled for. Tone it down a notch.

The name has been fixed, thanks Jim. I did not think it possible, but the forum looks really better and smarter.

Can't believe we don't have a thread for the best RB we ever had! Anyway, here is the best of Dan at Chelsea: http://www.mediafire.com/?tdiusumsahydtplhttp://www.mediafire.com/?tdiusumsahydtplhttp://www.mediafire.com/?tdiusumsahydtpl (not my upload)

Same problem or same as before, meaning no problem?

Congrats to Super Villains!

Amazing work as always Jim. Really appreciate it. A bug I spotted is that the member name is gone:

Think he's changing the skin. expect a few things to be messed up for a little while.

Still, if you commit yourself to a tackle and don't get the ball, you either give a foul away or worse, let a player past you. Any defensive player should be able to tackle but only as a last resort. The first thing any coach teaches the children about defending is "DON'T commit yourself, don't go to ground unless absolutely necessary"

Excellent work Jai, good read. A minor note is about Oscar's tackling. He may have had the most successful tackles, but I distinctly remember him making 3-4 unsuccessful ones. Tbh, I never understood why tackling was a good thing especially for central midfielders. If you are a CM and have to go to ground, it means that the player has gotten away from you. Ramires and Oscar however seem to go to ground way too often and needlessly so. And if the tackle misses then the player is free to move into the dreaded 'hole' forcing the back four out of position and causing big trouble. The main job of the double pivot, imo, is not retaining the ball but rather containing the opposition and closing down space and passing angles.

It is. Ramires said so the other day.

Here you go mate: http://sulia.com/channel/chelsea-fc/f/87c1e97d-f966-40e1-85c8-58fc6a01684b/?source=twitter

I hope the refereeing is better in our games. Has been terrible so far..
