MCM4PR3Z 411 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Just did what he is doing the entire season. Inter was 0-1 in front, then he took his team by the hand with 2 goals and an assist. 3-1. It starts to feel like normal, but it's just sick again. zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar 441 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Mata had even better stats when playing in the PL for us. Look where he is now.Not saying the same is going to happen with KDB. But he's gone now, wish him luck and support current Chelsea players.Lukaku also scored some crazy amount of goals for everton and west brom and look where he is now.I personally like KDB as a player, but to think his stats at wolfsburg would translate over to chelsea is a complete ridiculous idea. Even in belgium, KDB flourished and Eden was invisible. What makes you think that those 2 can work well together? KDB needs to be the man, like Mata, however, at chelsea he was never going to be that player because the man is another belgium player.

johnnythefirst 1,076 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Lukaku also scored some crazy amount of goals for everton and west brom and look where he is now.Actually, as of yesterday, Lukaku scored as many goals as he did last year. 16 in total. Ok, not that many in the PL, but still.He won the last three European matches for his team and I think they have an actual chance of winning it.He's not as good as he was last season, but he didn't do as bad as everybody thinks he did. The whole team is a bit less this year. zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Grass is always greener and more potent on the otherside. If he had stayed at Chelsea there is an equal chance he may have been absolutely terrible.If he was at Chelsea, he'll probably be defending and we'll all complain of his lack of ability GraphicWave, zolayes and laura90 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted March 13, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted March 13, 2015 Let's keep in mind that in September 2013 we had 6 AMs for 3 positions. I thought at the time that will be a good number to operate. Now we have only 4 AMs for those 3 positions and Cuadrado has a rarely look in ! Talking about rotation ...Mourinho is allergic to rotation. He has phobia about that. So please don't throw false epithets towards Kevin. It's evident that 6 AMs is about 2 guys too much for our manager so I'm sorry but at that time for 2 guys fate was fatal. Even if we had 6 world-beaters 2 of them would be left at bay.What hurts me the most is an open verdict that Kevin didn't train much, that he was messing around. That's not Kevin ! He is always one of the most hard-working guys on the pitch, usually covers the most grounds. He's brilliant team player. People making him some kind of a prima donna, I don't know where thinking that he has to be main man came from. LOL. There's ZERO evidence that's the case. I think if Arda Turan was at Wolfsburg people also would call that, because yes. I saw enough of Kevin to know that he will fit in so many teams like a glove, Atletico for example with his work rate.BTW that comparison with Mata is funny. Mata never ever had physical traits to run up and down the pitch and he never worked on that really. While Kevin works his socks off in every match and has physicality, nice pace and stamina, to do that.Oh, I would forgot. "BUT HE WAS SHIT AT SWINDON !!" I tell you what, Mourinho is brilliant man to man manager for some players but he's also a master of berefting a confidence of players who he doesn't play. Salah, Schurrle, KdB, Mata they never ever in their careers looked so low on confidence, without desire for football. Look at Salah for example, forget about goals and assists, what he's done in only one month is that he's taking players on again. He has 35 take ons already and he ALWAYS avoided a dribbling here. He was always choosing pass instead of dribbling and now he has a confidence back and he dribbles towards players like he's done against Chelsea many times. Coincidence ?And for your information, Mourinho is like he is. He doesn't change. He has many things that are wrong like setting his side not to lose, retreat when leading etc. also treating some players and ripping their confidence off but he's also brilliant in so many things. That's why I don't want to say that Mourinho was wrong about Kevin. But I'm also expecting that people stop saying that KdB was at fault. He's got 395 minutes here, he was 22 at the time in the new league. He didn't get a taste for a Premier League for 4 months here. We signed 30m player for his position at the last day of the window. Surely enough to spare Kevin ? Lastly, Mourinho clearly said that KdB is extremely talented player. He was always saying that talent there is huge. Even in November and December when the memory about Kev was disappearing he kept saying that. The only promise he didn't keep was giving him a chance in the Christmas period. In early December he said that every one will be used and said that players he didn't use are ready for that. Kevin played one game vs Sunderland in the League Cup and that was that.Anyway, there's a reason why he designated Kevin for an opening match. Kevin showed in the pre-season and in that first game that he clearly can operate within a team with brilliant link-up play. What Mou said about Kevin in July :"So we believe it is not an important injury and hopefully it isn't because the kid is a fantastic player and is showing to you match after match and showing to me in training that he is going to be a key man on the pitch."Then we bought 30m man for his position.I was hoping at his sell that we include first refusal at least, but Wolfsburg is too big to agree to that. Can we resign him ? Well, Mourinho clearly accused Kevin of something while Kev said that's a plain wrong. Personally would love that.

MCM4PR3Z 411 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Not sure that's entirely accurate...Kevin De Bruyne is the big boss of the Belgian national team. Hazard has had a few good games, but the rest were bad. But I'm a 100% sure that Hazard performing bad has nothing to do with De Bruyne, the two can play very well together in my opinion. When Messi played bad for 6 years in a row for Argentina, it was also not the fault of Aguero. People should stop to believe those nonsense stories. And Kevin will also play great if he's not the main man in a top team, a lot of bs stories at this forum. Blue Colored Sky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnythefirst 1,076 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hazard does not play bad for us most of the time, he just plays a less spectacular role in the team. He tends to disappear sometimes, yes. But during the world cup, despite all the criticism, a lot of the defining passes/actions came from his feet (especially during the atrocious first two matches). People give him too much crap, he works hard and takes his responsibility when needed. A lot would be solved by putting Januzaj on the opposite wing and stick with him. This will take some pressure off Hazard. KDB can be the defining player a lot of the time because 2-3 defenders stick to Hazard during most matches. With Januzaj in the team, this will not be possible anymore (plus we'd have someone with a decent cross on the wing). iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykikJV 146 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 No actually he did see it, we all did.This weren't like Matic were we let him go blindly, Mou acknowledged the guys a really good player, but what could we have done? he is at his best as the main man, with Eden around he wasn't getting that role anytime soon.He is half the player when he is merely a support player, if he stayed that's exactly what he would have been, it would have been selfish of us to do that, so we sold him and let him spread his wings so to speak.Im happy he's doing well however for as long as Hazard is still on our payroll, I won't be annoyed about him doing it elsewhere.He is playing with Eden in the Belgium NT. That's not stopping him from playing very well and being decisive for them too.After the last game there were some doubts about them playing together, but it was bullshit imo. The problem wasn't Eden taking away space from KDB, the problem was other players doing so. Chadli was also drifting inside and the fullbacks were instructed NOT to overlap. This resulted in no width for the team and no space for the attacking players. They can play together perfectly, as long as the rest of the team let's them play together.Anyway, any team could use a player like KDB. And I'm still convinced that, had he gotten the chances that Willian, Oscar and Schurlle were getting, he wouldn't have performed less then any of them. Playing one or two games and then being left out for a month is very difficult for a player trying to convince his manager. laura90, zolayes and Blue Colored Sky 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a lot of talent, but he is too lazy to have a big career imo. There is no reason at all to select him for the national team and there is certainly no reason to give him a starting spot. The other wing should belong to YFC, even in the youth teams I thought he was more talented than Januzaj, and he is only making progress. YFC is the only other wing that can be a massive player for a top team in the future. Mpoku will also have a great career I predict, but not as good as Hazard and YFC.

KDB covers more distance and plays a more direct style then Mata. De Bruyne is also a player who likes to run into space, even behind the defence. Where as Mata is more a player that likes to come short. Blue Colored Sky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practically every Man Utd player is horrible this season. 2. How many full matches did he play in a row? Hard to do if you buy Di Maria et cetera. He needs to be given some confidence.3. His technique is perfect and unbelievably fluent, and his crosses could be a blessing for Benteke and our other big guys. 4. We don't have a world class player on the right wing. Mertens is a good impact sub and Mirallas will never be a top player, might as well try it with this guy.

With the choices he'll be having after such a season, doubt he'd return to the club that never gave him a fair chance. Bayern Munich as from next season is a safe bet. And with all due respect for our beloved club, but as things currently stand, I can't see a way back from Bayern Munich to Chelsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The choice is obvious for me. We have to give a serious chance to YFC. Januzaj doesn't deserve to get selected this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
