F.Torres 7 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 He took us from 15points behind to almost winning the EPL if we had won at Old Traford with the worst injuries, selection, managerial...problems we had in a very long time. I don't about you but that sounds like 'relatively' descent football to me.With our squad it's a disgrace to get 15 points behind from United. And United also spoiled lots of points last year, but we were even worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 It wasn't Ancelotti's fault that we had a bad season last time out! It was because Ray Wilkins left the club because Ron Gourlay was far too busy making enemies and disagreeing with everyone. Ancelotti then became a wotsit in a trance and he had no-one to speak with on the touchline, which meant tactics and approaches to games weren't thought out as well...... that's how I see it, I don't blame the players at all!I will brief because I think I've said this many time. Wilkins has nothing to do with our shamble. There were signs of our "bad moment" coming way before he was sacked.He took us from 15points behind to almost winning the EPL if we had won at Old Traford with the worst injuries, selection, managerial...problems we had in a very long time. I don't about you but that sounds like 'relatively' descent football to me.When I've said "decent", I wanted to mean a playing style which looks like at something, could it be defensive or offensive. Instead of that we only had side passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! yorkie 10 Posted August 15, 2011 Popular Post! Share Posted August 15, 2011 We are only buying him becuase he looks a bit like Drogba, unfortunatly many people here think the the sky will fall when (and hopefully soon) Drogba leaves, so we spend 18 million on someone who could easily flop, just becuase he reminds people about Drogba.How pathetic.Drogba played his first match for a 1st division team at the age of 23 (in france) and moved 2 Chelsea at the age of 25, Lukaku did this at the age of 16 and moved at the age of 18...Drogba's prestations weren't always on the same level either, he had only 2 or 3 good season (check wikipedia for stats)So Romelu has stil a lot of time 2 get on the same level as DrogbaChelsea has been pursuing him since the age of 13, so i don't think he already reminded people of drogba back then.They want him for is talent, the possibilities and for what he already achieved.

ChelseaFanMKD 41 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Since there is no new post for 3 days, i will try to make this thread liver.What do you expect? How many games do you think Lukaku will play? Is it fair to expect many goals from him??Personally, i think that we shouldnt be expecting many goals, he is 18, it's his first transfer in other country. We have Drogba who will help him which is a big plus.What are your thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think he will play the odd cup games and a few league games once we are 3/4-0 up against stinkers. I predict something around 10 sub appearances for him and a goal or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonPride1905 236 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 ^+1 Why trouble with 2 press-conferences, when you could just use 1. Now if we only present Mr.XWinger and Mr.XPlaymaker at a press-conference next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
