See this is what I love about Jose identifying Matic as his main target back in January, and look at how it's turned out. Matic has been a rock this season, and if people are just patient with Jose he will identify the right players for the right position over the summer and work his magic. We are three players short, that's all.
The point being missed is the fact we will be buying a top quality forward this summer, Romelu will not be number 1, we won't pay huge amounts for a forward and then bench him to be behind Romelu.
Not sure who it was during the game but we got a free-kick slightly away from central and who ever took it decided to float the ball in and stand it up back post, why? It needed to be put ala Lavezzi's delivery for the Luiz own goal, not floated in back post. Our free kicks at times are awful, the ball should be whipped in with pace and at the right height to really trouble defences, yet we choose to play these idiotic ball high and into the back post.
Fella this is my point, we have a trio of misfiring freaks up front so really matters little who goes up top, it's like pissing into the wind. Eto'o won't be back and if it's a choice between this and PSG I would sooner we left him to sit this out, bring Ba in and hope he does the business.
Yeah that fucking wound me up something rotten seeing those fuckers celebrating on the pitch like that. Didn't realise it was a one legged tie...... See you in London.
Nah mate, we will see a reaction big time here. Stoke won't be able to live with us Saturday. I'd play Willian as #10 with Salah wide of him and Hazard the other. Matic back in the center and Ba up front, I mean fuck me we have had Schurrle up top, we may as well give Ba a little run out.
He plays alongside an average Eto'o or a crap Torres or a very poor Demba Ba.....he is also flanked by a very under-performing Oscar, an in and out Willian and Schurrle who is in and out both of form and the team. T.E.A.M....means this Together Everyone Achieves More
Everytime a ball came in to our box we looked a mess, not just JT. Him and Cahill have been superb so to label a lot of last night on Terry isn't right at all. He will know himself that header was poor, but lets be frankly honest with ourselves here, had some others in the gruop performed at JT's levels this year we might be a lot closer to our achievements than we are now.
Failed to control his box massively last night. His punching was half hearted and was worried about going into a crowd of players. Should never of been beaten for Pastore's goal and for Lavezzi's seemed to dive under it. It's OK pointing the finger at the defence but Cech was as much at fault as they where. Need to start raising your game Pete.
I was on edge as soon as he got booked, he is so fucking clumsy it's unreal. I don't know where we go with this bloke, I really don't. He can't pass, he struggles to read the game and apart from his pace I can't identify what he has to offer.
