His positioning is not poor. Torres is a poacher, he always move around looking to move into channels because that is how a poacher play

Lol Best news all day

City was simply the better side, as simple as that - We scored a lucky goal - Essien was unlucky to concede a penalty I really have no complain about that game.r

Let's just hope we don't concede until 60/65 then we can bring danny

Bosingwa is as bad as usual, Meireles has plenty of bad touch, Mata is bullied all over the place. Ramires is not really playing well going forward but he track backed really well.

If that is the formation, I just love it. I have been asking us to play meireles behind striker like what he did in liverpool (he scored plenty of goals in that position), finally i got my wish and hopefully we can beat city

no Kompany for city, good news for us. Slightly defensive strategy for us, I like it

Some people like him, some people don't. But don't you just wish that he play for your team

If he really want to impress Stuart Pearce, He should pass more. No manager want a player to shoot when his teammate is in the better position In fact it show bad decision making which can cause a team a game. We should not defend danny for his selfishness because he is not 18 anymore, he is 23. He remind me of ronaldo who used to be very selfish (he pass more this days) but Ronaldo is super good and danny is no where close to his level

btw let's not worry about milan/barca, we should think about benfica. I have never watched benfica play before, are they like basel (lucky) or are they really good ?

I have a feeling that RM will trash Apoel

I actually prefer to play barca so that we can really measure our current squad against one of the best or the best team in Europe right now

let's beat benfica so that we can get barca =))

Nobody deny that Danny can take on any defender with his blazing speed but he just does not want to pass back and his dribbling skill is just ok. When he get the ball he will try cut inside, Defender will show him to baseline, Danny will slow down and the next defender will double him from center but he still try to take on the defender If he can cut inside, he always try to shoot even when he is like 10 yards beyond penalty box. He should watch the way ashley young play, he always try to play one-two with mid/striker and he like to fake going back and then go forward. This way he can use his speed more rather than relying on his dribbling skill.

When torres got that chance, I wanted torres to score but I just knew he was going to miss it. I really don't think he will score for us

The only thing that concern me after that performance is that our fans and players will think that our squad is actually good enough to compete in ucl and epl and we delay refreshing our squad one more season.

I am glad that we play slightly faster under rdm which suit or squad and it looks like our players want to play him.

Danny really need to learn to play as a team. When he get the ball, he just does not want to pass. He always try to take on his defender then he will either shoot (80% of the time) or cross

I am surprised of why are we debating about messi taking hormone when he was a kid - He is not super fast (A lot of players are much faster) - His shot is not really powerful (again plenty of player has more powerful shot) - His jump is just ok What make him special is his close ball control which enable him to change direction with pace and hesitation move which confuse defender And also he is a very good team player, he pass the ball well, his vision is excellent and he is not selfish

Love the passion and the determination that our players showed :cfc: It is going to be a very nervous Friday, hopefully we don't draw rm,barca,bayern

Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - JT - Cole Lampard - Essien Ramires - Mata - Sturridge Drogba Lavezzi killed us in the first game and we need somebody to help Iva on the right. Sturridge does not really want to track back so we need ramires on the right

He never pass the ball

I always like Bielsa but his high pressure system does not work with our squad (AVB tried in the beginning of the season)

For me, I am not sure Jose want to come to chelsea because he need to get rid of plenty of players who used to be his key players

We can ask him to tutor Sturridge
