Magic Lamps

if Liverpool are to replicate only half of their performance vs City or Roma, they will smack Real up and completely humiliate their holey defence. Remember this was a bayern team without some of their best players. lets hope liverpool keep their players fit for the final that is the only chance real have

with the rumours of us operating on a tighter budget in the future, i doubt we would shell out that much for a 29 y.o.

exactly. Zouma has become a really solid player at stoke and also learned to play right-back.

they will be tired from their cl game so i think we are gonna win but it is worth nothign because they are not gonna drop any points on the last matchday, they are gonna finish above us by gd

No. if we get 4th and pool win cl we go to the qualifiers. 5 teams in cl are max for country. however, if we leapfrog pool, they win the cl and arsenal win the el we are out of the cl

Yeah the thing is, even if it was not that favourable, imagine liverpool lose vs stoke, such that we could beat them to get 4th, I would not back us to do so with this generation of players we have. When we led Spurs 1-0 we had them by the balls, we had acres of space, chance after chance but we did not have the guts or the composure to finish them and most probably get us a top 4 finish. it is crazy, last year the same group of players saw out the title run-in cool as you like but this season when there is a game to win at any cost they somehow always fuck it up and concede silly goals and don't score.

Yup. they are trolling us. I can totally see pool and spurs both drop points one more time to make us end up agonizingly close behind them.

Still absolutely mindboggled by that morata miss. Simply lay it off to giroud

I do not get the Hype about Sarri. The next big thing? He is 59 and has not won a single top-flight trophy or cup in his career. Nor will he. He kinda choked away the serie A title twice. Also I do not see how his individualistic style and persona fit our strange board.

Same here. In terms of potential and natural talent Emerson is head and shoulders above Alonso and has not put a foot wrong so far. I understand that Conte wanted to ease him in but now that the season is done why not give the fringe players a chance?

The shit is if we had won Spurs which was not out of our reach if we actually had concentrated one bit and and least won one of the games we completely needlessly lost points in against wack oppositon we would be 4th now.

out for the world cup... you really have to feel for him. hit the ground running at BVB showed what he is good only to be set back again. get well soon, Michy.

mistakes and the ability to take our chances...both signs of a defecit in mentality, which conte already pointed out numerous times. We have sold experienced players with strong character and replaced them with mediocre ones without much of a winning mentatlity. That is what is hurting us now.

yeah but also Willian did not retreat to prohibit this pass but yeah, esp this close to half time, moses should just hoof it into spurs half. But the worst is that we were nto able to capitalize on this host of chances we head. they elave so much space on the elft. a fullback with a bit more pace than alonso would have had a 1 on 1 with the goalie twice. Spurs are barely defending their right. that being said, they gifted us a goal too. both lloris and sanchez fucked up at that moses cross.

on second view any pro goalkeeper should keep that out from that distance. yes it has a lot of power but basically all he has to do is raise his arms, it is straight at him.

it was so coming....if you do not take your chances what a strike tho

thanks mate

Is the game in 30 mins or in 90 mins? not sure if you set your clock forth in England last week too

which irony do you mean? You can be a chelsea fan without supporting international football, fifa or putin. Only because Roman made peace with Putin does not mean I can't be against Putin and the Russian political system. I think we can win. but it is always down to luck as was last time when Argentina caught us on the break numerous times and were unlucky not to score. This time round we are not as strong in midfield anymore but this time we are tacticaly more variable and have more depth in attack. But Löw has a bad record of getting the best out of his wingers but if he can get the best out of Reus, Werner, Sane, Werner, Özil in attack we can beat anyone. The only thing we lack is a real goalscorer but we did not have that last time either and you dont need that to win the WC. Kimmich--Boateng--Hummels--Hector -------------Khedira---Kroos--------------- Sane------------Özil-----------Reus----- ----------------Werner-------------------- But i am somehow sure Löw will insist on Draxler and Müller on the wings because he just has no clue how to utilize pace on the wings which is such a shame. But it does not really matter because we just have so much depth all over the pitch (except the fullbacks ofc)

The board are experienced business men. They might be shit at sporting decisions but this is a situation i think they can handle. Last time Courtois was threatened with a year on the bench he gave in and signed a new contract and i think he will do so this time again.

If Tuchel really goes to Arsenal than bullet dodged for us and Congrats to Arsenal. I think he fits them well with his attacking style and emphasis on flair players and he will win fuck all with them, maybe the occasional cup because they will be leaking goals right left and centre as Tuchel teams always do. Tuchel is a progressive manager and a difficult character so the AVB comparison is spot on. Tuchel on the Chelsea seat would be like a peacock on a vulcano. Probably looking spectacular with the right lighting but everyone knows it will end ugly.

Every one of our Loan mids is an upgrade over Baka. I still remember van Ginkel for bossing Khedira all over the pitch in that preseason friendly vs real

one time i have to go with Mourinho, a team of 11 daves and kantes would win everything, talent and attitude wise unbelievable. Especially since Kante even improved since joining us which I did not believe was in his locker but now he has drastically improved his long range passing among others.

I never gave up on him and still won't mainly because we will be stuck with him for a few years anyway now given the sum he has paid. He took his goal well even though everyone expected him to fuck up again people have all right to be impatient. but it is not that only because he is 25 he will not be a better striker for us in the future. sure, he will not become much quicker or more technical now he has hit his physical peak. but mentality is imo the major reason he has sucked so far. not being composed enough in front of goal is often a confidence issue. and going to ground easily is also a habit he can stop at any age. he has to get used to how strikers are dealt with by most pl defenders. if he is settled he will improve albeit he will never be a 70m striker but we arleady knew that.

I am not sure if he is not too much of only a poacher like Bats. sure, Icardi is technically better but other than that they are pretty similar
