Magic Lamps

Probably it is just another false dawn of Torres Mazacar is as many said still our best offensive lineup. But that Ramires-Lampard pivot which was unrightfully slashed so much has actually been pretty good. They absolutely had Paulinho, Dembele in their pocket.

????? Our country has produced some of the most clinical finishers of all time. His problem is rather a lack of Germanism

We were better in the 2nd half and surely would have won it, if it wasn't for some expectedly horrendous refereeing. whenever we are coming from behind to win a big match, Torres gets an unrightful red card. But where were those scare Paulinho and Sandro guys? Did not see any of them. When we had 11 men in the second half Lamps had them in his pocket.

if torres had just dinked that one. amazing run this is what mazacar can do. should play more often vertonghen has to be off Jt you king no jose no, keep mazacar together, we can win this our finishing is missing. schürrle only had to shoot that high mike dean is such a dumb fool. never never a red. once again a ref has killed the game and robbed us 3 points easily would have won this without the crazy ref. I hate refs they always fuck up games

Whatever. I don't think I have to be sorry for believing in a player. When that makes me a fanboy, so be it.

Premature. the season is still young. He will bounce back as he always does.

Just had a look at my crystal ball - they won't

We should have cashed in in summer. Could have got around 45m for him. Now he will be cheaper.

This is so sad. Especially in such a meaningless game, which we would have won with a donkey in DM. Maybe we should sign or rather recall someone now. I know numerically we have cover esp with Luiz being able to play there, but I'd rather be not forced to play Kalas at times only because Luiz has to play in midfield.

Really? I reckon s.o. like him +s.o. like Modric would be perfect for a DP.

So we are fucked. Cos Mata is no where near the quality a title-winning team's best player should be.

Willian looks slow, sloppy, never beats one single player and always gets his cross blocked. Also his shots are off target usually. Nowhere near Chelsea quality. Torres might be able to run rings around multiple league one defenders but he still remains an erratic finisher. Eto'o should play vs the spuds. Mata was pretty poor, too. The defenders just had to force him to use his right foot and the ball was theirs. The rest looked pretty decent. solid display. Should have been more goals. Special mention to Schwarzer who did not put a foot wrong.

Who is this TV for? Sürely not Schürrle ?

quite lively match. Nice offensive moves, individual skills and eye-catching tackles. A bit like a showpiece. at good as won already.

Against such a young, inexperienced but fit side, i'd much rather have Lamps's composure instead of Ramires pace. And I feel Rami will be important against Spurs, so rather rest him and have lamps play a game. he only came on against Fulham.

Why ramires? I'd rather have lampard on here.

I have no sympathy for Mata at all in this case. I like him, he is an amazing player and should defnitely feature more. He might have been player of the season twice but in fairly average squads. Mata prospers when the team plays for him. But in big matches, we can't do this, because he is not good enough. Drogba and Lampard used to win us the big matches when they were our best players. Mata can't do this. Ok he won us games vs Spuds and Utd. But come on. those were not vintage sides either. When Drogs&Lamps where in charge we were up there with the best, we could dominate the best ManU of all times, we beat Barcelona on various occasions, we slaughtered Bayern Munich. All other teams where way below us. With Mata in charge as our star player we did not really win those 3 titles courtesy of him. We defended, had Drogs&the old core + some decent share of luck. Still Mata assisted in all three finals. And here is my point. Playing for Mata sets a ceiling for the team. We will win against most teams in the league but we are still way below those teams who got similar players to Mata just much much better. but we can play with Mata as one of our best players when he adapts. Mourinho wants him to do so. It is not some ludicrous conspiracy aka "Mou hates Spaniards" . Mata is only a bit part player for Spain. Xavi, Iniesta are better. Mata is a better attacker than both. a big part of the two barca player's game is that when they can not only hold the ball extremely well with their agility but they also can get it back immediately. When tehy lose the ball the close down the defender . mata never does this. Even Silva play over Mata for Spain. Just because he is that bit more physical and energetic to defend with the team. No Spain AM is a particularly good tackler. But they are good defensively cos their intelligent defensive movement always pressurizes the opponent. Mata can be offensively brilliant and defensively leisure at good teams like Valencia and the Chelsea of the last two years. But in Mou's title aspiring Chelsea he can't.

I think most people with some knowledge of the game were aware that Rooney still is a special player. That is why Utd did not let him go. All those decline comments only motivated him even more. Wonder whether his phantom injuries in preseason were real though.
