Ba playing really well!

Everytime the TV shows Schurrle, he looks like he is about to faint!

Oooh Ba, could have passed it!

Our team is playing really well, but once again Mata and Oscar are both in the middle!

OOOOSSSCAAAR YOU BEAUTY!

Come on Chelsea!

Oscar has a German Audi because nobody likes the English type!

Hart is such a horrible goalkeeper...

Excellent goal Lukaku!

*Prepares himself to see that photo on a suit once again*

Good for you (and for that guy who is molesting you on a bike)...

Hahahaha, I know Kerry, but that wasnt really what I meant! Barbara and I were talking about the Brazilian cities we thought had the prettiest women and Florianópolis came into the discussion. However, I mentioned the when I visited Floripa, I felt that it didnt live up its reputation and that there are better cities in Brazil with less marketing around it. Then, I retained myself by saying that it probably is because blonde chicks dont make my type. I wasnt judging or anything, I was just making an observation by saying I like brunette more. It is just a personal taste, nothing more than that.... A proof of that is the fact my ex is blonde and she still wowed me. LOL

Gundogan would be just perfect, but Lampard would have to leave... He can play with both Mikel and Ramires without compromising the pivot and still allow space for MVG and Chalobah to develop, fixing almost all our ongoing problems! He also has a lot of mental strength and experience, which is something we very much need.

And my ex is blonde, but it still isnt my 'preference'...

Oooh, I understand now! I re-read the whole thing (minus the spoiler, it is way too fucking big) and it makes sense. Excellent article and very nice idea, it is one of the best ever written in here for sure!!!!

I feel a bit dumb, but I dont understand what you meant with the article... What is this negative and positive rating?

But I dont agree with this notion that their midfield and defense are weak (or have been). Because when they actually focus, they looked very solid...What I am saying is their problems dont lie on preparations or tactics or whatever. It lies on their weak mentality!If it was what you say, they would look bad and not dominate until they score. If it was Pellegrini's lineup, they would not play great until a certain point, they would just be flat out bad. You even used the perfect word, the problem is concentration and not take things for granted. I know you were only referring to the last game (hence why I started by saying I agree with you), but when you brought the fact Mancini wouldnt have let Bayern humiliate them due to his approach I decided to quote you to 'defend' Manuel's style and/or line of thought...

Of course, he has ran away from contact for two years...

I get that, but the thing is City played well in every game (besides yesterday's UCL match). But they stop performing after they make 1-0, as if they had won already. So, the problem is not how Pellegrini sets up the team nor how he approaches the games, it is in their mebtal strength and focus during the course of the game... To be quite honest, I mock many people who think EPL experience is the most important thing in the world, but I think Manuel is suffering in that area. He seems to still be in La Liga, where a small team gives up after being down against the big two, something that clearly doesnt happen in UK. And another problem he has due to the lack of EPL experience is the subs, he always make typical Spanish subs (putting the team foward when not necessary), but doesnt protect the results too much. So, overall, I dont think Pellegrini's game plans can be questioned. But there are definitely other areas where he has been horrible! Oh ok, sorry!

Hahahaha, well, blonde girls are not my type, so I guess thats it. Not that I would refuse though!

Some people in here will put this under favorites! I actually dont think Santa Catarina is that amazing of a place. Sure it has a lot of beautiful girls, but most of it is marketing. For instance, Goiania is a place no one really talks about and it beats Rio and Floripa put together!

I havent been to Uberlandia yet, but South Minas is proudly known for its amazingly hot (and rich) chicks! Sao Paulo is a very 'low quality' city as well, some mates of mine from USA thought they would see princesses everywhere, loooool.

I agree with your criticism towards Pellegrini, but to say Mancini would have done a better job is untrue...The Chilean is playing at a high risk with the approach he is taking at ManCity, but that goes both ways, it can be a hit or a miss. But when they do hit the sweetspot, they look incredible. The thing is Pellegrini is trying to implement a very offensive team in a new league, so that obviously takes a lot of adjustment time. The Italian might not have been trashed by Bayern or any other team, but he wouldnt have steamrolled United also (talking about last year). He was doing a great job until he decided to change the system and focus on defence abd midfield, acting somewhat like a coward. Being more caution, Mancini avoided both ends, but that doesnt mean he was doing a good job (not in the slightest). Roberto in 2012 is a much worse manager than Manuel is right now. They have very different mentalities, but Mancini was completely losing it last year. City were drawing and looking very bad, but now they have looked very good (although they seem to play until 1-0 and then stop).

Hutcho, I dont even have to answer you because Barbara and MinSeok already did it for me...

1) No one is arguying Mata isnt a better offensive player, but that Oscar is a better option for the team. You keep missing the point!2) Stop posting manipulated and meaningless stats. Oscar was in his first season in Europe and playing as a winger, while Mata was the main man of Rafael Benitez. 3) It is quite clear that Schurrle-Oscar-Mata are the best trio we cab play right now, so I dont think this thread is useful anymore.
