CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I'm surprised that he took the penlaty.Wasn't up to Lampard's standards but it was a decent penalty. Definitely a better penalty taker than Mata.As I said in the match thread: I had forgotten how good Romeu is. His ability to find the right pass with only one touch is really something. For someone who has been out of the side for ages, that was an excellent performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beigl 1,387 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Played very well yesterday,he should get more chances in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 He was very composed in the midfield. Fair enough the opposition were shite, but he looked very comfortable. He is good on the ball and rarely panics. Very tenacious in the tackle as well. An encouraging performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a better penalty taker than Mata.From what I saw in the highlights, it was a good penalty and looks rather similar to Lampard's type of penalties but the ball did seem to take ages to hit the back of the net!

mediator 2,026 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I impressed me. The double pivot with Oscar on second half was pure domination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mceachran 109 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Never understood why he was benched in the first place. He has much better movement than Mikel. I never saw Romeu make misplaced passes whenever this guy plays he keeps possesion and he is a very good tackler too he should start for us imo.I totally agree that it should be a no brainer. It just seems that there is this psychological comfort the EPL coaches get from having at least one "big dude" in the center of the park.

RhonddaBlue88 14 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Romeu really impressed me last night! His range of passing and confidence on and off the ball really does make you question mikels selection!!! Hit a few quality 30-40 yard cross field passes Gerard esque! Very impressive would love to see him and Ramires start against arsenal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Happy with his performance yesterday. He shown his qualities once again. Was strong in his challenge. Tidy on the ball. Kept the passing quick & simple by releasing the ball in 2-3 seconds after receiving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Apparently a clause in his contract allows him to leave for Barcelona next summer so he is being kept under wraps maybe so they are not convinced into taking him back. If true, quite a smart move then considering how impressive he was for us. Then after that clause is finished we can totally focus on developing him without the pressure of Barca trying to get him back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeu is not playing because RDM prefers Mikel. That's it. There's no conspiracy theory. Barcelona had Romeu for years. It's not like they don't know him as a player and the idea that a team that the Chelsea are playing a lesser line-up because they scared of losing Romeu is insane.

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 He should probably start to get more playing time now before he is completely thrown into the fire when Mikel leaves for the African cup of nations in January.

Maybe in cup games but PL no because Mikel is a starter there and I think he does his role brilliantly. Hopefully Romeu can step up in his absence though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 He might as well go back to La Mastia. We're ruining the boy's potential here.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 He'll get his chance when Mikel leaves.Mikel's a favorable main-stay of RdM's squad though, so the chances of him leaving anytime soon are slim. I think he's wasted here (Romeu), so if Barca did call on him I don't think anyone could really make a case for Romeu to remain here.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I think he meant to the ACON.But even then. Keep him for one month a season? It's pointless. Might as well recall McEachran for then and loan him back out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
