Magic Lamps

that was one of the goals of the year. like a young lampard.

Lazy journalism. Eintracht have not even bought him from Bemfica yet. I doubt they will already be listening to bids

RLC reminds me of a young KDB but twice as big obviously

how can you not score that?

Still even though this lineup was refreshing, Sarri remains a shit manager who should be sacked and this is just Brighton one of the worst sides in the league.

Even apart from that orgasmic finsih, RLC can influence games like no one else in our squad can with his power and drive. Absolutely no alternative for him in the squad.

all of our top4 rivals have dropped and will drop points. the shit is we are too sloppy and badly coached to take advantage of it. We just would have to win the easy games to make top four but are unable to do so.

This really was a game where he should have had more of an impact. Movement all right but the job of striker is to get at the end of the play at any rate not to make smart off the ball runs.

+a badly injured one who is way too short for a top cb these days. Our board would have been crucified on here for this deal

Best man on the pitch..made the equalizer, with a great fk, scored the goals that won the game and also released steling for no.4 albeit onöy vs Montenegro but with the right coach he could be a player that makes the difference, surely not in sarris rigid tactical corset where he will always be average tho

who also makes big mistakes regularly....as does Tibo Areola does not make as many mistakes as tibo tho and Pepe Reina still was a world class goalkeeper at his prime

Areola is miles better than big nose

Thank god that friend has won the Champions leauge in contrast to the poor fuck hazard. Someone inform the poor guy where the next primark is to buy white shirts

What was he thinking when parrying the ball into Everton players feet Tibo-style? I thought that bad trait had gone. Ok then pen is always a difficult save and the rebound can be awkward especially for badly placed shots but header from the corner was so soft, eh could have easily caught it.

Azpi or Puyol vs Drogba. Neither. Puyol would either go to ground pretend a head injury or foul on purpose knowing the corrupted ref would not give a penalty. Cannavaro was not physical either but he would have gone under in todays PL for sure. But I get the point. Azpi is not a cb in a back 2. He was in a back 3 but still got exposed from time to time. Now he is just a stand-in RB which is really really sad but he has regressed so much. He used to have a decent bit of pace but now he lost that it becomes obvious that his positioning is actually not as good as we thought. I am sure he will still work on that but we should not rely on it. HIs tackling is still superb and I actually don't mind his crossing but for sure he is no world class anymore. But if he can teach Reece James his timing and defensive cover runs we will be fine.

Obviously Piatek would have been the way better move as almost everyone here said. But sure Sarri wanted his Higuain and like everyone of Sarri's ideas, an idea from yesterday.. Not that he is a bad player. Just so much worse then everything else we could have had if the board would have one bit of sense and not trust this fraud. Higuains movement has been absolutely sublime tbf even vs Everton. It is just everything else that has been shit, mainly his mobility and finishing. That is why I hope he gets at least one of the games vs Prague who are error-prone defensively so he can score a few and get in the groove again. How can lack match sharpness tho? he has been training with the team for 2 months and always gets midweek off. he should be fresh as fuck. He is 31 thats still ok for a striker, Drogs had his best season aged 32. I just hope that if we can keep him next season, he has one good year left in the tank cos everything will depend on it. I miss the times of having a world class striker more than ever because we do not even have a world class goal-scoring midfielder.

I just hope if we really call tiem on the SArri experiment, that the efforts to play posession football are over for good and they don't hire another "attacking" manager ever again. That is not the Chelsea way. We will never go to the Etihad and tear City apart with intricate passing in the next decade or so. But City are actually only 2 world class fullbacks better than the side we ripped apart with our counter attacks 2 years ago. The players are herd of cows that need a resolute man to whip them in a sensible direction and they will trample things down. Right now they are just wandering around aimlessly bc no one buys into Sarri's out-dated ideas. If we really replace the fraud with Holland I really got no clue what will happen. I read that Holland is well respected at the club and he probably is one of the most decorated assistant managers in English football but his only season in a senior team as first manager came at Crewe Alexandra, one of the worst pro clubs in English football and was hardly spectacular.

We will win this, then everyone will go back to saying, yeah lets keep Sarri, we looked alright when in truth we will have scrapped a result like every time we won under Sarri since September. He is a shit coach and I will have no joy in any of our games until he is gone or our players grow some, cos even if we play decent enough I know it is just a flash in the pan or the opposition is shit. I want the fraud gone at least as much as i wanted avb and mourinho v2 gone who were both probably better managers even though yesterday's men with yesterday's football all the same. But actually Sarri is more like Avram Grant, just some random old fart doing Romans bidding + the Jorginho detour. Grant had the advantage that he had one of the best and incorruptible squads in Premier League history which basically trained itself, Sarri has a squad of mostly average fair-weather players. Still he is not paying the price and that is probably the most infuriating. Carlo lost his job for just losing out to SAFs excellently drilled gun dogs after having had his best players injured for half the season, Conte for not putting up with the shit the board was giving him (albeit way too publicly). Sarri did not even deservedly get the kick when he set us up to lose 6-0 at the Etihad. Actually they should have never hired him and I warned them not to. Then they should have seen it the way we got battered by Tottenham, but ok can be a one off but the one time they finally should have seen th light was the capitulation at Arsenal. That was when to fucking pul lthe trigger. He shifted the blame to the players, the last resort, when in fact it was his fault not to prepare them better. Yes the player are sheeps who need a leader. Then be the leader godamn. Our title capitulation in 2015 should have been the final piece of evidence that these players never take responsibility. So someone has to. Yes the players are shit but the right manager still can whip them to the odd title. But you could put Sarri in charge of ManCity and he would win fuck all.

He actually was a mediocre player back then and we got milked because they were in a strong position and we were desperate and dumb enough not to look for better options which were available back then. Even more stupid that we bought him in the same year we let go of Filipe Luis and Ryan Bertrand, two vastly superior players. No idea why the board were so damn retarded even for their standards.

why do you think so? I think the loan system has been one of the few things the board did ok at. It is a steady stream of income. Loan shit players until they maximize their value and then sell them amassing profit. Sure they fuck it up often enough and sell to late or don't prolong the contracts early enough but in principle exploiting the loan system and ambitious players as cash-cows is a brilliant concept.

Roman will not sell Chelsea as the club is a means to protect his assets.

Every week the same shit. Absolutely sick of Sarris presictable medieval tactics. We will win do fuck all with him in charge all season and everyone knows that but when we win with 5 Kiev people here go on mimimi it's not too bad. He is still a shot coach and should piss off asap.

Wolves game reminds me of old 2004to2009 Chelsea without drogs. A not of power play two players on the wings, shots from distance, super solid at the back with low block

me2 but lacks power. he goes to ground easily and his shots are youth level in terms of power. i hope he puts on some muscle and improves his shooting technique. dortmund still won this tho ,resu scoring a brilliant winner

i am rooting for wolves. they have been most convincing in this competition so far performance-wise
