Oneiroi reacted to Vesper in Chelsea Transfers
its anti vaxxer driven false paranoia, I am sure RLC and all the others have been vaxxed for other things before
being vaxxed staggeringly lowers your chances of serious illness and/or death, which for a pro athlete is important due to ultra high exposure rates
it also greatly reduces transmissibility, which is a key to stopping these waves of variants

Oneiroi reacted to DDA in 🏴 Frank Lampard
I honestly don't know how you can say that from watching today's game. We were the better team. It is individuals who are letting us down. Frank has gone toe to toe with arguably one of the greatest managers of the modern era and has nowhere near disgraced himself. Take Ole Gunner for instance, now he is waaaaayyy out of his depth and it shows quite clearly... whereas Frank has actually surprised me with the way we are performing. His subs are abit questionable but that will come with time.

People are so over dramatic, like those teenagers who wears black and sees everything as tragedy. Step off from your computers and go out for awhile or something sheesh.
It's life, maybe we are talking football way to seriously?

Oneiroi reacted to Joker10 in 🇧🇪 Eden Hazard
Come on are you really suggesting he doesn't get criticized enough? There is 570+ pages on this thread, you think it is all filled with a wankfest over Hazard? There are many over the top criticism of the boy. I think it was @Barbara, who mentioned that there is seems to be a lot of revisions of history. Apparently Oscar was only good against Juve, now according to some Hazard was only good for a few games last season. It seems like you want a unanimous opinion, you won't get that there will always be people on different aisles in discussions. Go to the Azpilicueta thread if you want to see a player enormously over praised.
I don't see anything unnatural on this thread. For every action there is a reaction, people start criticizing Hazard it will lead to others defending him.
On to his World Cup performance, it would be unfair to say he had a horrible world cup. Lets have some perspective, he provided two winning assists in the group stage and his general performance beside the Argentina game have been decent. He definitely hasn't been a top performer in the world, but to say he has been "garbage," "horrible," "Terrible," etc is not true.
Belgium made the quarter-final and imo that is a very good finish for them based on their talent. People who are saying that they should have done much better are extremely overrating their players. They have absolutely no Fullbacks that can provide any threat going forward or can overlap out wide, and their midfield is average. Witsel is decent not world class like some people think he is on this forum. He has absolutely regressed since going to Russia, need to leave if he wants to get his career back on track. They left their best midfielder at home, Radja Nainggolan is better then anything they have. I have not even got to their strikers or their incapable manager.

Oneiroi reacted to MHL 47 in The Mourinho Thread
Yep, you may be onto something here.
Let's get rid of JM and get Enzo Scifo in to manage us. We can have Jean Claude Van Damme in to be the fitness trainer, Eddy Merckx can drive the team bus, green energy of course - he can peddle the damn thing!
Herge can write the programme notes, and while we're at it' let's get rid of that silly old lion mascot Stamford and get Tintin in to do the job. Our theme tunes like 'Blue is the Colour' and 'Blue Day' can be binned off and we can have Plastic Bertrands 'Ce plane pour moi' in it's place, he'll kick the shit out of Suggs anyday.
The players can eat moules-frites, waffles & Belgian chocolate, sod all that healthy pasta and chicken stuff.
And finally...........................................that silly old statue of that Peter Osgood fella can be melted down and we'll have that little boy pissing himself put up instead!!

Oneiroi reacted to Hkibou in 🇧🇪 Eden Hazard
With all due respect i do not understand your point of view, which leads me to believe you don't know much about football.
First : "Hazard tendency to lose possession" Dafuq did i just hear ???
Hazard is extraordinary in that matter, his close-control, balance and vision allows him to hold the ball like the best in the world in that domain.
Empirical proofs of that are multiple. His statistics in keeping the ball, and number of loss per game are indisputably on his side.
Another statiscal proof of his skills in the matter : he's been twice in a row most fouled player of Ligue 1 (and Europe the second year), most fouled player at Chelsea for his first season. So unless you consider getting fooled is losing possession, i don't see what you complain about. Not only he's terrific at holding possession, he frequently creates space for other and manages to create movement in dangerous areas...
Besides, that "tendency" that you call, is just collateral damage. I don't know what world you live in, but football is difficult, no matter how gifted you are, there's defenders just as good in front of you willing to put you down no matter what. When you're as offensive minded as Eden Hazard, typically wingers and AM, you're bound to lose the ball. Because what they do, if they succeed it, creates danger, space. Their presence is constant, their threat weighing out opposite defence every minute of the match... Watch of Barcelona game for once in a while, you'll be astounded to see how many times Messi loses the ball during the game, while he's the best in the world for that exercise. Hazard is easily in the close four behind the incredible Argentinian.
2nd : "Inconsistent passing" ???
No need for a long speech, stats will suffice : 88% passing accuracy overall his career, 90% as a n°10 his last season at Lille (source : LFP) ; 85% pass success for his first year in Premier League with NEW partners !
According to whoscored, 45 passes/game in Premier League, 12 assists, 65 key passes, 75% accuracy for long-range passes
For a winger, or any other advanced midfielders, you'll find few with better stats.

Oneiroi reacted to meetdoscar in 🇧🇷 Oscar
RVP at 28 years old? Oscar is 21 if you want to give a clear picture why not use RVP at 21 years old I bet by that age he would have only made it to the chelsea under 21 teams. I still don't understand why some chelsea fans underrate their own players.

Give Laurentis a cheque for 63 million, and put yen in fine print.

Oneiroi reacted to Leif in The Mourinho Thread
I must say I really dislike the whole "Stop getting excited, these are just rumours, I can't see him coming back" posts
Really? You can't see him coming back? How is someone who works at Porto, someone who works at Chelsea, one of the top journalists in France and many more non-newspaper sources who are incredibly respected & only comment on deals and happenings when there's a sprinkling of truth not even the slightest bit convincing? Do you want Mourinho to tattoo "It looks like i'm coming back to Chelsea" on his cock and slap you all in the face with it while shouting "YOU SILLY BASTARD!! READ IT!!!!" to convince you more?
Of course stories get made up every season - that's football. No one here (I believe) is 12 years old or younger. Everyone knows the possibility of him not coming is probably just as big as him actually coming. We're excited though because there's rarely this much solid info regarding a move. It's usually just some crap written in the Daily Mail, something written in The Sun, then the rumour is forgotten about. Lighten up.
If you don't enjoy anticipation, "Maybe's" and "What if's", is this the sport for you? Maybe basketball or something along the lines where transfers & moves are more straightforward would be more suiting.
Why not contemplate changes he could make if he signs? It'll be a let down if he doesn't arrive, but so what? We won't be sobbing into our hands 3-quarters of the way into the season wishing we never got our hopes up - because unlike the people refusing to enjoy these few days of excitement & anticipation - we'll have actually got some enjoyment out of all this; not just a "I refuse to believe any of this" followed by a potential "Told you so".
When Henry was about to re-join Arsenal for a small while, at first, it was just paper talk. Do you think the "Henry" thread on Arsenal forums were empty? Or full, but full of "Guyz stop gettin excited, Henry would never return :/", or the C.Ronaldo thread on Man Utd forums since the idea of a potential Nike swoop for him was announced, etc etc etc?
You have to at least try taking in these exciting times. Football is far more than just watching the game and reacting accordingly whether we lose/win.
