  1. Don't want him here. Too tactically stupid to play alongside our players. I think he is better suited to a team where he will be the main man.
  2. َYou can't be shit if can barely touch the ball. Man doesn't look interested in playing and doesn't have fucking clue what is going on when his team is attacking. Lack of tactical flexibility, nothing new for someone from Britain who moves to another country.
  3. This guy is a dream to watch and he has to start every game. Anybody think he'll be great in midfield? He has every ability to play there.
  4. Tbh I hope this is an excuse for him to not be part of Spain's squad. They're gonna injure him anyway.
  5. Cahill & Ivanovic motm. Takes effort to be that bad.
  6. Words cannot describe how shit Cahill and Ivanovic are. Playing these mongs when we've got Zouma and Azpi on the bench is a crime.
  7. Very happy Luis is starting, unhappy that Azpi is benched instead of Ivanovic.
  8. Honestly I feel jealous when I watch Atletico's press and defending. For me, in the modern day of football that's how centre-backs have to defend. Miranda for example, knew exactly when to press and when to stop the press and go back into position and did his job perfectly. I don't like the backing off and keeping your position all the time, something that all of our centre-backs do. I think a combination of each style would be the ideal solution in our team, one classic, English centre-back who stays in position at all times and his pair would be someone like Miranda, sort of like the Jt & Carvalho partnership we had 10 years ago.
  9. I wish we would press against psg just like Atleti are pressing against Leverkusen. Our pressing was non-existent after Ibra's sending off.
  10. The number of times I see him make great runs only to see him not get picked out by the player who had the ball is pretty incredible. Schurrle was the same by the way, made great runs but nobody found him. I think he would do much better if we actually tried to create chances for him, like we did in the beginning of the season.
  11. Should have brought him on midway through the game. Would have made Hazard's job - who was playing fantastically - much easier with his overlapping runs and also give us an alternative in terms of attacking with his crosses.
  12. Obviously the referee will be under pressure because of all the media campaign against us during the week. Wouldn't be surprised if I don't see at least 2 uncalled penalties.
  13. I don't mind him celebrating the goal, after all it was a very emotional goal at the end of the game and anybody would have done it. You can't criticize him for what he did on the pitch, he did that in Chelsea too and at the end of the story whatever happens on the pitch stays on the pitch. He has that character about him that sets him aside from every other player. Huge passion, a natural-born winner. In fact, despite him being 27 years old, I believe he is the most talented defender in the world and would be one of the best if he was consistent enough and didn't make those silly mistakes every once in a while. The world cup made him look like a shit player to all football fans - including the ones on TC - but we forgot he was great for us in his last season and in 2012/13.
  14. He has a false bad reputation around him but people who have worked with him have always said he is a professional. It was class to handle that red card situation in such calm manner that he showed.
  15. If Jose really wants to continue with the same approach, then why not just replace Fabregas with Kondogbia, Hazard with Milner, etc? As far as I'm concerned playing this type of game not only minimzes players like them's strength, but costs us a result as well because they are not suited to this style of play. Its the Ferrari and Fiat deal all over again. Either keep the Ferrari and drive it like one or get a Fiat and drive it like a Fiat.
  16. Sell him, hasn't showed any signs of improvement in the past three years. 99% of games he has no sense of urgency, terrible passing, weak mentality and overall poor displays. Sometimes he looks like he doesn't even want to play.
  17. As I said previously, he is the one who built this team and HE is the one who is preventing it from reaching its potential. This is what the likes of Wenger struggle with: Stubbornness. Wenger likes to attack attack and attack despite getting bad results. Mourinho hasn't learned his lesson this season. How many times did we lose a lead playing this way? What on earth was he thinking when he instructed the players not to press against a 10 men psg side at home? Who knows, maybe one day, one day, we will be able to see us to change our big game mentality with attacking and positive intent. Today we lost to Jose's fear, not Luiz and Silva's headers.
  18. What do you expect when our only tactic is provoking the opponent through Costa?
  19. We had the referee, 1 more player and still managed to put a shambolic performance. Absolute disgraceful.
  20. The only thing that worries me is going for a 0-0. Our defense is very error-prone at the moment and its highly unlikely that we'll manage to keep a clean sheet trying to defend in the entire game. Another thing is our players not having the urgency because of the result we got in the first leg. This also happened in the 2nd leg vs Atleti last year where I thought we could have performed much better if we lost the first leg. We can't give them time on the ball, if they space to roam and time to pass/shoot we are in deep trouble. The most important thing for us is to press effectively and I think at the end this makes a huge role in the result of the game. Ideal situation is to get the first goal, and then try to control the game, waiting for lapses of concentration from PSG to get the second. Settling for the 1-0 and parking the bus is also very risky. Very nervous for this match, one simple mistake and we could be out of the competition. But afterall, we're Chelsea and we've always been about giving our all fighting till the last second. Let's believe and we will be in the quarter final!
  21. I wasn't happy with him coming before he signed but the reaction after the past few performances is just not fair. He's only been here for a few weeks and is not used to the style of the team. He feels pressure and its clear he doesn't have a go at defenders like he did at Fiorentina. We need to give him time to adjust, its not easy to come from a terrible league to the premier league to a team who is challenging for the CL. I'm not saying he will definitely become a great player but for us, as supporters, it is a must to give him time especially given the situation he is in.
  22. I like to always mention the pros and cons every manager/player, and I have to say Ivanovic was fucking immense yesterday. Always in the right position, knew when to close down and was mentally very stable. Keep it up Branislove.
