  1. That's a fact in team sports. People who ignore that fact even called Courtois overrated last season. No I am not saying he is another Willian. He's a better dribbler than Willian.
  2. Some fans also said that Mourinho is not good for long term success. Again some fans were against selling De Bruyne. It does not mean fans know better, what is written here is just food for thought.
  3. Players motivation/performance is affected by team performance and quality. Losing Kante affected very badly Leicester. Galacticos were similarly affected when they lost Makalele. Very fast players without much skill are only effective when they have open space. Mahrez is not like that. He has good technique, just needs to be trained to improve his decisions.
  4. I don''t like this at all. I think he is Makalele, Davids, Kante type of player and with the right manager he can change destiny of a team. I hope either we sign or he doesn't come to England.
  5. Last year Conte was at the Euros around this time. I think we'll have a much better transfer period this time.
  6. We don't have to be pumped to beat the worst team in the league.
  7. 2nd season Juve's number 9 was Vucinic and they faced Drogba. We know how he is in knockout competitions, Gala scored 3 goals in two games, Drogba had two assists and one goal. Drogba's side had also beaten 4-1 Mourinho's Real one year before that. Still Juventus should have eliminated but Gala is known for such surprising results. A year ago people doubted Conte because he had no experience outside Italy, now they talk about his cup record after almost winning the double in his first season.
  8. I would hate to see him playing for another PL club. If he leaves Leipzig he should be coming to Chelsea.
  9. We won the most competitive league and cancelled our celebrations. Don't forget that while you are watching them celebrate and laugh.
  10. It's not only about money. The only business that is literally cut throat and more powerful than finance industry is military. That's why not even the so called most courageous, controversial tv commentators do not ever mention them. Wall street gives politicians carrot, military contractors are the stick.
  11. This is true but simply leaving those places now creates an opportunity for groups like Isis and those videos you mentioned will be on internet forever. Also another root cause that is ignored and tolerated by Western leaders is the Saudi royal family which keep an entire nation in stone age and spreads radical Islam all over the world. For example http://www.balkanspost.com/article/116/saudi-arabia-funds-spread-of-wahhabism-in-kosovo I am not saying Saudi Arabia should be bombed. The opposite. Progressive policies and leaders in ME should be supported. What is happening is just opposite of that. Erdogan's only ally in Europe is your prime minister right now and money has been pouring from London to their stock market since her visit in January. It is sad how the military industry is playing both sides, using politicians like puppets and taking advantage of terror attacks like this. The money that could be spent on education, healthcare and infrastructure will be spent for defense now. This has been the effect of such terror attacks and nothing is solved.
  12. After 8 years of Obama administration it is no surprise that there so many terror attacks in the world. "Busting terrorist charities here in the United States was a low priority for the last eight years under Barack Obama." "The eight-year lapse was confirmed in an official report issued in December 2016 by the Financial Action Task Force, an international body dedicated to promoting policies to combat money laundering and terrorism finance." "The U.S. has not designated a domestic U.S.-based charity since … 2009," the report said. Issued in coordination with the U.S. government, the report noted that the "decrease is consistent with the growing trend of fundraising under false pretenses and outside of any charitable organization." "But it's hard to understand how our international partners will take us seriously if this glaring gap remains. Indeed, why should they feel compelled to crack down on their terrorist finance problems if we don't address our own? " From http://www.weeklystandard.com/restarting-the-fight-against-terror-funding-charities/article/2007327 He failed in Syria which led to ISIS, closed CIA's black sites in the world and he did not go after terror finance. This is how we got where we are.
  13. If Iran was buying weapons from Nato allies no one would say anything about human right abuses or terror support. Presidents would call them to congratulate and invite them to their capitals to have dinner or even dance with their leaders.
  14. A shorter version Match preparation: I’ve never seen someone prepare a training session like Conte does. He’s absolutely obsessive: he wants every player to know everything about the opponents. When you get on the pitch to play the match, you are ready for anything. He works on every detail for hours and hours: even how players line up in the penalty area before corners. Half Time: We were winning at the end of the first half but we weren’t playing well. Antonio came into the dressing room and was absolutely livid. He demanded that of everyone of us, every player, shouted in front of everyone: “More.” What to expect from next season? Even after a victory, he thinks there is always something to improve, even after a win he will have a meeting with the squad and will immediately show the players how and why certain things will have to improve. He will not stop for a second, not even after a 3-0 win. He always wants a reason to surprise everyone, it is what drives him on.
  15. I think Conte can help him perform like he did in the previous season. I also hope that we sign a better player but I won't be sorry if we get him for a reasonable price.
  16. One of his biggest challenges will be snakes like Gary Neville in the media, who want to see Manure great again. He combines some valid points with sneaky comments to undermine Conte's achievement like bsing about how Conte and Carlo used the teams built by Mourinho. Gary Neville picked Pochetino as the manager of the year. That shows how bitter he is. Someone who picks Pochetino this season's manager of the year deserves zero respect. I would rather read Wiz's comments about Matic.
