Great! Moderation by Hung Well Inc. !

I know dude. You did see our previous games, right? Hence the 'i hope we don't go into the EPL like this' It's not that hard. Sarcasm.

Ow comon, this is going even worse than before. Don't go into the EPL like this

just don't ban me cause I post a huge penis plz.

Congrats Skip! Well deserved!

We would be 'better to better' the team instead of yearning for that one players that finishes it for us? What do you expect- did you see Ronaldo last season or Messi's off period. They are on a higher level but also do have that game when they just aren't in it as well - and just as much, eg Ronaldo or Messi last year! So it happens. My point is: you are a bit harsh, but this is a forum and its my opinion [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Lol, i have a bias yes, but your point was way overcoocked imo. 'You can call it the tenth time since last season'. 1. As if that was our issue 2. As if that has been really true 3. As if not all really good players have anonymous games4. Hey, it's preseason!

Its all about sense of reality. Eden had a 7.96 on whoscored, wins the trophies, we play champions, He was one that pulled us through, along with an early firing Costa. If you wanna call him 'invisible for the tenth time' and think 'he hasn't pulled us through enough'? Fuck sake, what are you concluding from preseason?

I agree on your ending. We should be more dominating. But your opener: 'we can't rely on Costa, Remy shocker, falcao old dude, Hazard invisible' is harsh imo. Of course, we can and will be better. Performance will be ok, just it will always remain a catch22 regarding being beautiful all the time and grinding a long term team....

He might have convinces them just now [emoji28]

True. Also: not being played at all by the team . Are they thinking about their own 'individual performance indicators' to prove their worth? It sounds like a lot of big companies' management teams. We will have poor team performance if people don't realise trying to get individual points make us worse. Ps: there is a lot of research on this topic btw. See Kluger and Denisi for a meta-analyses on individual performance goals and the effects on group performance.

Well B, it fills me with joy you haven't blocked me. You know

I agree, but i just don't think the difference in quality between teams was really that big, B. They did not give us a 'spanking'. They got the early goal, we chased and failed. This is what they implied. I might be called crazy, but i think we will be ready. Hence why i said, wait for the stats. It seems all to much panicking at this stage (but the CC isn't what makes my blood boil, its preseason). Tibo did very well, looked the part. Im glad for that, we have errors but they our not new. Even knowing those we won the EPL. Lets talk again when we hit the EPL ground running. [emoji33]

Go for it! Be alpha!

I actually think Tibo hadn't much to do as well.

Im just curious about stats. I don't think it was such a shambles. They got their goal early. We didn't hit the ground running but we kept chasing them in the second half. Didn't make it thought. I am not worried, especially seeing Hazard, Fab, .... were invisible. They aren't going to be like that much longer. Also, Petr made a few really good calls, how many Tibo had to make? Not that many tbh. Our only worry now is depth of team. We need a CM that can do more than the likes of Rami. I wish we could get Oscar to a Brazil level, he does find Eden much more than the others.Also, If Costa is so injury prone, we better pray Remy and Falcoa are up to it. Also, we played Zouma as a left back now. What are our options there? It was a nice study round for me. We didn't suck, but we aren't finished in our pre-season either. May the voyeur be ever happy with his silver. Let's win the title now. :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Ok,I see now! The 'all years' got me all confused since we don't play it all years (in Dutch all years - 'elk jaar', means we would have have played it every year). Too much holiday for me I guess since this is the second translation fuckup :-)

What? like last year? I don't understand your post.

Translation error. My bad sexy :-)

Matic, that beast! He delivered today, I reckon.

I'd rather we lose than have Cech giving us a goal for free. Where is the honour in that?

Because he is a legend here and he wanted to stay in London with his family. Quite the ethical move on our behalf.

As I said...; the 60th minute. We are putting the heat on them!

Shit! omg

Ok Blues. 60th minute coming up. Afterburners on!
