  1. so instead of his well taken goal, so early in the match we're picking up how he performed defensively as a LB in his maybe third game ever in the position? I - for one - am very happy for his goal and his general attitude. He's a winger, he's very young, he can whatever a good manager works him to be at this stage. defending isn't that difficult to learn, it's all about movement and timing. There isn't a special skill from another planet. If people like Iva and Cahill made their careers being defenders, I'm sure Kenedy can improve his movement and timing and be a decent one too... I don't know where I'd rather see him play, but using only his third game in the position, while he's basically youth guy is nearly laughable. The options should be all open at this point.
  2. this is the kind of win we needed. Something that looked alike, against a team clearly better than us (although they weren't that good in the second), with a lot of clutch and a saving goal. It was a heart win, and so many times we complained about the players playing without any heart, so it's a nice change. Two wins in a row, first comeback of the season - against a decent team, nonetheless, Leicester won. Well, it's been a good day
  3. if that's you calling him lucky, shall we keep him in the technical staff just for lucky charm effects?
  4. the amount of reactivity, lack of ownership in a defense made of Cahill and Iva is suicide inspiring
  5. I really liked what I've seen - apart from the defense struggling and conceding against 18year olds. While City had a third team, their defense was an experienced one and still we made them look like clowns and we did more mistakes than they saved preventing the scoreline to be even bigger. I'm happy with the progress Pedro showed in the last two matches I've watched (didn't watch against PSG - can't talk about then). It's important for us to relief the responsibility from Willian's shoulders. Eden's mentality is somewhat off. I think he might be gone in the summer - which is a shame, but I think he was involved in our best chances. Hope I'm wrong about him leaving. He seemed to love it here so much... but he's a huge fat question mark for me. I have no idea what's going on in his head and heart right now. He seems just off, the radiating happiness we've always seen exuding from him isn't there often these days like it used to Cesc owed the whole thing. He was running the show and I keep saying it, we should provide him a chance to shine. Whether it's a 4-3-3 (I still think it's our best way to get the best from him) or a very solid, physical pivot partner (something neither Mikel nor Matic fit the bill for me, but depending on the day, they can do it). Very happy for Traore scoring again, but I can't understand why Hiddink insists giving game time to Oscar and Matic but God forbids he gives it to Ruben... look how much better Baba looks ever since he's been getting minutes (something that surprised me, I didn't think he'd improve like this - although there's still a lot of room to improvement, but he's young and new to the league, so nothing unexpected). Let's hope we carry on. I hope when Terry comes back, Baba will have proven to Guus that he can't compromise more than Iva...
  6. take that, bitches, I know my shit. If I say Eden is on fire, he just is You should have known by now a woman is NEVER, EVER wrong
  7. see? another important pass by Eden I know he isn't bursting like usual, has been lazy, but he seems more cerebral today. Which I don't mind Amazing goal, again, great finish by Willian
  8. Mikel had so manyups and downs... I think he's reached his limit. Time for Hiddink rethink about having him there
  9. didn't understand which spoilers? long time no see though
  10. Eden had some important passes there. Nowhere the guy he uses to be, but our best chances passed through him and Cesc to Pedro and ofc the goal to Diego
  11. even youth kids from City know how to defend better than our seniors...
  12. Eden, Pedro and Fabregas are on fire. We just need to be more precise. The defending is embarrassing. We look awful
  13. that Fabregas pass was mesmerizing.... and Eden didn't even look to Diego to cross. Azpili was terribly soft there... ridiculous
  14. Good thing for him that day won't come any soon. He'll settle for a career here like Mikel and others before him. He's heavily featured, but isn't an absolutely titular. He won't push for more chances, he won't push for a transfer unless it's from a big team, in a big league - which ofc won't happen. He'll stay here for a decade... write my words. I've since long lost hope on him. I don't think he'll ever reach his potential, basically because he settles for mediocrity. the same reason he'll stay for as long as he has a contract.
  15. if there's a player that spoils me watching a Chelsea match is Cahill. He's just the kind of player I can't stand. Fearful, runs from the ball, reactive and that Cesc pass gave me an orgasm
  16. I was about to comment a few minutes ago when I saw Hazard with the ball exchanging with Iva I was wondering how much better it would be if he was exchanging with Azpi instead. Now I get to see that. Hope Terry is okay for my birthday though
  17. I don't know... maybe girls are different in UK than they are in Brazil, US and many other countries I know of, but a 15yo being active sexually isn't that unheard of. Not saying the girl was a virgin and innocent flower or a slut, not saying he's right (he's stupid, wrong etc), just saying UK needs to wake up and revisit some of their laws. I wonder what's the average for a girl initiating her sexual life there or which percentage of 15yo girls in UK already had sex. The world changed, as much as we may or may not want to follow the changes or even agree with them, there's no other way around but adapting... This is the kind of hypocrisy that pisses me off.
  18. Someday we might break a world record for masked players featured in one single match. I don't mind, it's hot
  19. They have hits and misses. Cadena is the only reliable imo
