While its waaay too soon to say anything, I hoped for slightly more from Juan so far. 30m is 30m after all.

Yeeesssss! Not too happy with performance, but trophy is trophy! First of many. :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: City losing, its double win for us today. Great day.

Our team has to be one of worst ball playing top teams in europe. No tempo, no control, no hold up under pressure, no creativity in attack, no link up, no runs in open spaces (and players with vision to spot them). We are bang shit in attack. But its final so I accept it. However making spurs look world class, and our poor form since january, Im not impressed at all. Cesc having another brilliant game I see...I wonder how long will people protect him. And finaly, we beaten this spurs team 3:0 not long ago. It means we can, but it seems our tactics and mentality are simply fucked up. No balls and no team action, while individualy we are crap, except for hazard who is not at best today either. Lucky we lead at least.

picture of the day: :D

No excuse to beat these fuckers. Absolutely no excuse.

As long he doesnt score for Chelsea it means fuck all. On the other hand, it tells something about our coaching board too.

What Drogba is to Arsenal, Ba is to liverpool. Just wont stop trolling those fuckers until he retires haha

Havig two fullbacks who can realy control the ball going forward in azpi and iva is limiting our attack quite alot. While Iva was amazing in attack, he wont be here forever and we should slowly start to think about getting his replacement. Clyne would be nice as he is also english.

Im massively dissapointed with him. I was told he can play anywhere on the pitch, but he never played as goalkeeper here and I dont think he is good enough to be one. Sell him.

Yeah Pogba would be great. But I dont know if we can afford him as we will have to buy another CB and RB too.

Such a shame there are no real quality defenders available out there anymore. And Im not talking about quality, but you know Thuram, Cannavaro, Carvalho etc type of quality. Seems that standards dropped massively, even known to be top defenders like Kompany, hummels, silva etc have more brain farts these times than bosingwa few years ago lol.

He also implied that moutinho would replace oscar in starting eleven. Not exactly 25m for bench them. Plus if you want anything better than Mikel on bench, you have to fork out quite some money on players. Sure there are exceptions, but not always. P.s.: i dont care if we bring moutiho or not, i was just explaining what kellz said as some didnt seem to understand.

Dont forget that side was coached by Ancelotti.

This club is associated with over 200 players, around 80 on loan and then several co-partnerships etc. Unbelievable.

Commeon people read things first. Kellzfresh said moutinho would be good cesc replacement as a backup or he could even play instead of oscar in first 11.

Having a strong defense is prime thing to go far in CL. It gives you confidence going forward and control the game. Monaco has that. I knew they aint weak team but they still suprisised me big time. I though it will be a game with little goals, but they countered it perfectly.

True that, but at least they have pace, drive and power to stop their midfield. Cesc can drop deep and Willian/Hazard push more into middle with Iva, Luis/Azpi creating some width. Having Cesc in midfield next to Ramires is what I call suicidal. There must be a holding DM (or CB in this case) in there or we are screwed.

Well thats why I said vice versa. My point was that when we play bad, Cesc wont give us the spark, drive, inspiration or whatever you call it and win us a game.

Considering how shit we play for a while now, we can be happy we got all those good results.

Perfect manager? MOYES no doubt.

If Mikel is unavailable, i think Mou will throw a cb in midfield three next to Ramires and Cesc. Maybe even Azpi or Luis but cb is more possible. Like Ramires-Zouma-Cesc He did that with Pepe and Luiz before. If we play Ramires-Cesc, we will get overrun, while Ake Im not sure he should be thrown in finale and I doubt Mou will do it either. Gk Iva-cahill-terry-azpi Ramires-Zouma Willian-Cesc-Hazard Costa

We will see IMO. Injured or not he better step up against Psg. Its his third? game since return and should perform. He generaly performs well when we perform well and vice versa. But when things get bad, he is mo where to be seen and doesnt step up. Cesc as our key midfielder should save us like Yaya or Lamps, but he isnt that kind of player and it could hurt us big time eventualy.

Or alternatives. Its kinda dumb that we have key player who we cant use in big games. Think Real with Modric or Bayern with Schweini. Those two can play in any situation. I thought we sold Mata for the same reason that he cant play in big games efficiently... And I dont think its how we play. Its because of Cesc. He is that kind of player who will never thrive against better teams. Verratti schooled him last time and it wouldnt matter if Cesc played deep or as #10.
