Mata only tends to drift into the center because thats where he plays...........

Not that it matters, that would be an advantage over approaching Madrid for Jose. Pellegrini would also be on lower salary freeing up more money to spend on other things. I probably should have worded that better and said hes not as good an option as Jose in terms of managerial class as well.

Pellegrini be a cheap option as opposed to Jose. His contract has a €4 million release fee as compared to what Mourinho would probably have (maybe €15+). Didn't Real not pay like €15-20 million compensation for him at Inter in fact? Was apparently a record breaking compensation fee anyway. No doubt Pellegrini is a decent manager, experienced but sure I'd prefer Jose or Klopp.

He did good tonight. Got into dangerous positions, used his body well at times to retain possession/win it back and ran a lot. Had a decent effort saved by Schwartzer in the second half too. As Kojo basically said, his decision making will improve. In a way hes still very raw, in a way he is a cross between a sprinter and a strong guy (hahaha some comparison). He is really fast along the ground, one of the faster players in our squad and is very strong and powerful when running with the ball/trying to regain or win back possession. His strength offers us something that Mata and Oscar in particular lack. Hazard is a bit stockier and can hold the ball well but isn't as big or strong as this guy. He will work on his finishing/crossing/decision making in the future. Hes only 22 remember guys.

Just me or was Hazard really average tonight? Anyway 3 points. What a golazo by Luiz. Torres industrious upfront, not scoring but at least hes putting in effort unlike before under Robbie and Andre. Moses doing well until deciding what to do with the ball. Fucking bring on the bin dippers!

We will beat them 2-0 and Luiz will to an extreme tactical foul on that cunt Suarez.

Yes but collectively they were a hard working unit. Surely on the left he'd do the same. He only plays left wing so his pace can be used on the counter attack too. and I'd hope so. Mainz were known to run lots and defend great as a unit so surely on the left he'd do a job. http://www.oneworldsports.com/chelsea-boosts-attacking-options-pending-schurrle-capture/ read this

Well he was brought up playing with Mainz who were Jurgen Klopps old team and they apparently worked extremely hard pressing so I'm guessing he is a hard working player.

Never mind David Moyes, get those two babes managing the club.

Wrong. Your skill related fitness suffers if your physical fitness levels (ie. cardio respiratory endurance) drops. Being tired means you can only perform at 60-75% percent of your ability which can result in poor passes/crosses/dribbles etc. Only time PE theory has ever come in useful...

See in the poll, why isn't there an option where we can all blame Mikel or Kalou?

Total football is near impossible to recreate tbh. Would be awesome though, Hazard can be our Cruyff.

Exactly. Di Matteo didn't have the experience to rebuild a team such as Chelsea. I was surprised he was given the job because of one, Roman's so called admiration for Pep and two, his managerial inexperience but I suppose if your the owner of a club and the interim coach has won the CL and FA cup with an aging squad of average players and a few players putting in exceptional performances in vital games (Cech, Mata, Cole, Ramires, Drogba) you'd consider that you should maybe give the bloke a chance at least. He brought in a few players but we needed much more. We needed another center forward and central midfielder. The likes of Hazard, Oscar, Moses, Azpilicueta and Marin were along the right idea. Young, technically better than the players we had before, potential resale value etc. We still needed another midfielder as Lampard isn't good enough and disciplined to play in the double pivot, Ramires neither. Mikel and Romeu can play the holding role out of the two but aren't helped with poor and inconsistent performances and a partner who suits the role. Meireles and Mikel in the game against Newcastle impressed me, why did we sell Meireles? Torres has huffed and puffed all year long, hes not that same player he was before. Signing Ba has helped slightly with rotation but we could have done with Lukaku playing for us this year, another mistake by the board/Di Matteo/whoever. Di Matteo managed the egos last year and got them on his side and playing for him but this year with the younger players he didn't exactly figure out how to incorporate them into the squad and that ultimately cost us due to the small squad we have. De Bruyne and Lukaku could have made a hell of a difference for us. Look at where WBA are thanks to Lukaku's goals, the mans proved all his doubters wrong after a frustrating season last year where he was branded a flop by many on here. De Bruyne didn't play well in pre-season for us but he could of still been useful for us when Moses was at the ACON or when Moses and Hazard were fatigued/injured. Even looking at pre-season this year. We only won ONE pre-season game against Seattle Sounders. That is shocking, I don't care if the games were to gain fitness or not but the likes of Lampard in MF was found out and Ivanovic at RB too. The fact we got crushed by a championship side too made me question was Di Matteo out of his depth, he played a £200 million side and we got beat and were poor. The start of the season we played well but after that United game it all fell apart. This isn't the worst season in the Roman era for sure as last year is despite the CL triumph, but its certainly not the best.

Fulham are safe and have nothing to play for bar bragging rights tbh. We should sweep them aside with the likes of Mata and Hazard playing.

Probably end up loaned out 5 times then sign for Vitesse for 1 million pounds.

Last year was worse. If yous think this season is the worst in the Roman era then wow................. speechless. A CL and FA cup doesn't cover up last years embarrassing league performance where we were absolute ballsack. This is a transition year as next year is too in my opinion. If this is the worst season in the Roman era then you need your fucking head checked....

I think Garcia is probably better than him tbh. Hes quite limited though

Barry in MF, need to exploit him. Hes so shit its unbelievable. No Silva either, which is a big miss for them but that cunt Toure starts... arg... 3-1 Chelsea.

Many journalists have said Matic has been the stand out player in Portugal this year. I've seen him play for Benfica a few times like the game against Porto where he scored that peach of a goal. Hes looked like hes stepped into where Javi Garcia played last year really well and I wouldn't be surprised if hes goes to United based on all the positive news around him. Hes proved himself as a good player, if he goes to United and does really well I wouldn't be surprised. Hes exactly what they need.

Been up all night, fuck insomnia.

Did I really just see someone say we should loan Oscar

I also love you guys.

There is fuck all wrong with Ba's knees. Its a myth.

If we sell Torres, we'll sign a new striker.

Everytime I've seen him play for Mochengladbach I've liked the look of him. Albeit it its usually highlights on ITV4 but he looks a good young player, pacey, direct with plenty of ability and can score goals. Was linked with Spurs in the summer IIRC actually. He probably wouldn't cost a lot either as hes not really mainstream and in and around the senior German NT. The amount of talent in the Bundesliga is immense though. Its hard to believe the likes of Leno, Koch, Jung, Hermann, Draxler, Holtby(when he was at Schalke), Beister, Mlapa, Volland, Esswein etc. that they could probably be in the senior NT and beat a lot of teams tbh.
