  1. What do you get out of posting you want to take a draw when we're not half way through a game. How do people not see we're not being outplayed just because we don't dominate possession, idk, kids aggravate me.
  2. Calm down you extremists, we're not 30 minutes in. If you turn us off don't turn us back on.
  3. Courtois can't clear the ball for shit, stop being so fancy and giving the opposition the ball
  4. lmao our bench is so funny, Mourinho already wins by default
  5. was that game vs. City where Hazard got 8+ dribbles this season or last? i wish he was given the same freedom he had that day every day
  6. can't remember the last 'big' game Hazard impressed me in (praying i don't get a superfan who quotes me with 1 team he ripped one time ages ago) his attacking output is no better than a handful of players I thought he was supposed to be superior to. learn how to shoot dammit
  7. Wolfsburg would be very exciting to watch next season if this whole domino-effect deal takes place. It should happen for the good of football
  8. This is just throwing out opinions with 0 basis now, but with Reus on the other wing, no matter how humble he seems, that'd be another 'star' on paper, and the more stars you have, the more disgruntled the likes of Hazard could become in the long run. Reus would have pressure to sustain his past glorious figures with Dortmund; he has a name for himself already, he has to go out there and get the goals. Cuadrado, he can still choose where his name goes, there's a lot less pressure for him & he can still be moulded into a finished article of a player under Jose. Only a mad man would tinker with Reus' style of play. You build a team around Reus, you don't make him fit your team. Madrid will get this part wrong I'm sure. As such, buying a finished article of a player when he doesn't *perfectly* fit your team is risky. Where do you go if he doesn't work out? Just with those few things considered, I believe Cuadrado would be the better team player regardless of actual ability level. He'd play with more freedom and be that 'unknown quantity' player which is usually the intangible shit that wins games you don't expect.
  9. Willian is 100% the more consistent player, but he's consistently average, where-as Cuadrado is a more hot and cold player, but he'll actually win some MOTM awards unlike the rest of the '3' competing with Hazard/Oscar. So it just comes down to what you want to see. A game winner who offers less defensive solidity or a game saver who offers less going forward. It's apples and oranges, and really we won't see that much different results with 1 or the other playing, i think. What 1 lacks, the other compensates for. They'd be interesting options on either wing with Hazard in the hole but I doubt i'll see that in this lifetime. I personally prefer hot and cold players to average ones, as while an average one may be more dependable, they're also more predictable, lacklustre and redundant after a while; all the things I use football as an escape from. I want to be entertained by effective enough flair players, it's why I originally decided to support a big club, there's no point in lying, and Willian doesn't offer me that at all. I thought he would, after seeing him rip us a new arsehole a few seasons ago, but clearly he's having too much sex since moving to London and he's lost his mojo. No point going into how many games i have or haven't watched. Just take my unwanted 2 cents. Not an upgrade, but IMO, the perfect 'other option'.
  10. This is what i wanted to say but i don't have the reputation to pull it off
  11. WE GOT A FARKING WIN WOOOO !! LETS GET DRUNK!er
  12. holy shit a new line up. i put more stock into us winning the champions league this season than that happening
  13. let us all bathe in our own tears and cleanse this memory from our brains
  14. this motherfucker cahill and his big english head and big footbally calves, stupid guy
  15. Unpredictable, surprising lineup. That'll give Tottenham some headaches
  16. Fav Player: Willian. some jokes write emselves
  17. WHY DID YOU FILL US WITH HOPE DESPITE MY PERSISTENT PESSIMISM THAT THIS MOVE WAS THE WORST WE WERE MAKING SINCE EL PAELLA? DO YOU ENJOY LETTING US DOWN?
  18. bring back Studge and put him on the right wing, he is the best english striker since Robben
  19. you're all wrong. Skipper said so, we were told. Schurrle is amazing. anyone who says different doesn't understand football or that his horrible conversion rate at Bayer was due to intangible reasons not in his control. all wrong.
  20. "Carroll is inappropriately chastised by the crowd" football commentators are the absolute sole reason for this sport getting softer and softer each season i swear. Shut up you old farts.
  21. The day a winger is the most important player in a side is the day pigs fly. (C'mon, quote this with a 1-worded reply like "Figo" or something and collect your likes)
  22. A Mikel backpass that leads to opposition pressure when he had 3 teammates ahead and beside him, try a new trick
