Whe would anyone dislike seeing a rival get fucked over?

Takes a special kind of genius to play a two man midfield against this Barça trio.

Hit me up with some nudes on whatsapp.

Would fancy him vs Mike Tyson. What a beating took.

Which is why I said MORE game time in the #10.

They're not in good form, but that doesn't mean much. CL is where most of their guys want to shine... Ligue 1 isn't really motivational enough for them right now. Despite this I still expect a good result. An away goal is a must! I'd roll with: Cech (can't drop him after that performance IMO) Iva Zouma Terry Azpilicueta Matic Fabregas Cuadrado Willian Hazard Costa Hope José doesn't respect them too much though. I'd love to see the Chelsea that went to the Etihad last year and put on a masterclass, if we put in that kind of a performance the win is ours. No need to relegate our offensive game.

Fantastic news. Not only from a footballing standpoint, but from a business standpoint. If he ever wants to leave (although the Real Madrid talk is exaggerated - what's with the pessimism?), we're in a much better position to negotiate. About the Everton game, I thought he was terrific. Held the ball up fantasticly, tried some risky passes which he doesn't always do, attempted some shots... The thing with this guy is that he tries really hard but a lot of time he doesn't look like he's breaking a sweat. Reminds of Iniesta in some ways. Great talents do that, I guess...

Had a couple of iffy decisions but... Wow does he seem like a different player. The talent was always obvious, just hope he keeps up this kind of form. His decision making seems to be improving, he's more confident, more assertive and a lot more unpredictable. Not the old shuffle-run around-pass backwards Willian. And what a finish that was, delighted for him. Deserves more game time in the #10 position, given that Oscar is slumping.

The initial signs are good IMO. He seems to have that directness/dribbling combo we needed. He seems a little nervous and doesn't a grest understanding with the rest of his teammates yet, which is perfectly normal considering he's just arrived. Also a pretty willing worker, which is nice. Don't think he'll be much of a goal scorer, he'll get his, but not at a really high rate. However, Juan seems to have the remaining skills that were necessary... Will be worth the tradeoff for Schurrle I think. PS: those corners... Very much Chelsea-like. [emoji23]

I hope he doesn't cover ours. Truly do.

Willian playing his ass off. Tic tac Oscar...

Atleast City are losing. We've been really subpar... Changes are necessary.

What's up with belgians and ballboys?

Because some of us are more used to euros than pounds. Don't see how that's "ridiculous" by any means.

HAHA they're too similar.

FIFA's ceremony has really given Willian some confidence. Best game in a while I'd say.

36 minute dump? The fuck's inside you? What a performance... And to think we're doing this without Hazard being highly influential... Best half of the season by far.

Not if they think Luiz was anywhere near a top 4 defender.

ERA SÓ JAJÃO.

Playboy hopefully.

Obviously Messi is terrific and all that... But for 200M or whatever we could adress all our squad needs/luxury signings and still have some left in the bank. Wouldn't make sense.

3,5 times more legendary though.

Maybe we're signing Pogba AND Reus. That'd be cool.

Right, but despite the rivalry between you guys and City, back then they weren't title contenders by any means. Big Pete wasn't going to help take the PL title away from you. And he didn"t join them right after leaving United. PS: he's also a bit of a legend over here at Sporting, the dane.

How many of those names were seen as actual club legends? None of those are at the same level that Lampard is (or better, was) with Chelsea. You really can't compare.
