Yeah not enough power behind it to beat the keeper if he guesses right imo, but the technique is there.

Can't really judge him from this game, but his crossing looks good.

My new nickname for him is El Maestro. His performance yesterday was artistic.

Wasn't up to Lampard's standards but it was a decent penalty. Definitely a better penalty taker than Mata. As I said in the match thread: I had forgotten how good Romeu is. His ability to find the right pass with only one touch is really something. For someone who has been out of the side for ages, that was an excellent performance.

Worrisome, very worrisome. First time I've heard of his existence as well

Btw, how did Marin fare in the match? I only heard he put Torres on goal who of course missed.

That is assuming that Terry doesn't get the ban by then. Btw, Newton said yesterday that Lampard has an ankle injury so he might miss this one. Could be good to test Ramires in the double pivot in a big match. He also said that Danny is 50/50 for this match so that means that Torres starts which in turn means that I can't see us scoring in this one except from a set piece perhaps. I think if we play with a high line like we did against Juve we will definitely lose. I'm not too optimistic about this one. However if we defend properly I think we can stop them from scoring; they're a good team but they lack that star player.

Hey Cesar, the joker called, he wants his psychotic smile back (sorry bad joke) I only watched (most of) the first half but by halftime my stream was lagging so badly I gave up and went to bed. But from what I saw: -I had forgotten how good Romeu is. His ability to find the right pass with only one touch is really something. For someone who has been out of the side for ages, that was an excellent performance. -Piazon was excellent baring in mind he is a work in progress. His movement off the ball is sublime. Regarding the comparison with Sterling, I think Piazon is better, even now, tactically. I have no doubt who will grow to be the better player (Blue tinted glasses maybe?) - I reserve judgement on Azpi yet, this was not a good game to judge him by. His crossing is a breeze of fresh air compared to the hopelessness that we are used to. -I thought Moses was playing weirdly at first but then I realized he was playing like a real winger. Hadn't had any of those in ages! -Mata's performance was almost artistic. El Maestro was pulling the strings beautifully.

Trying to watch it now but my stream keep lagging

lol how did you know?

Apparently Moses just fluffed a great chance.

Peszko is destroying our defense...or so I hear.

Sounds like a good goal: Chelsea 3-0 Wolves: Mata, steaming in from right, to Ramires, to Mata, to Torres, a beautiful ball back to Mata, back of net. Lovely stuff.

Well that was quick

Still injured.

I'm sure he can but I'd much rather he stays fresh for Arsenal in the weekend. Everyone uses the league cup to give some youngsters and squad players some pitch time.

Hope he gets a rest today, deserves one.

Feruz also played yesterday. It's between Piazon (unlikely to start) and Moses (more likely to start).

not sure if serious or sarcastic...

My bad. Still he's not even making a run or asking for the ball.

It's on CTV 4 hours late:

Yeah but too bad he's having a terrible game so far. Got an early yellow card for deliberate handball and just looks very static in the midfield. He hasn't gotten into the match at all, it's like Madrid are playing with 10 men.

Started again for madrid tonight. Didn't expect Mo to trust him so much.

Blackman, Feruz, Bamford and Saville all start for the U21s tonight so we can rule them out of this one.

He plays at CM. Played there at Genk and played once for Bremen (I think it was vs Leverkuesen). In fact, I'd argue that is his best position.
