Barbara 15,149 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 not even close. pls... Messi is still the best in the world, but both Xavi and Iniesta while still playing well are already on the descending side of their careers and aren't the players they were two years ago (maybe not even a year ago). How long has it been since you've watched them?I'm not saying both attacks match, as our fellow mate, but not even close is a stretch.I think it's very close, if not a match as he suggested.Pedro and Sanchez are really overrated, Neymar has to prove himself in Europe more than any of our players and Fabregas isn't as proficient at Barça as he was at Arsenal. The only clear advantage is Messi. The rest is a draw or us having a slight edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediator 2,026 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 We need more time and more xpChelsea will be the next power house but they have to know each others. Just see how Mata and Hazard are a joy to watch when the link up with each others. Need to see that with the other ones and we would be the greatest team in england of all time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only clear advantage is Messi. The rest is a draw or us having a slight edgeEven if talking about pure skills Chelsea has the edge, right now if both teams were to play against each other, i'm pretty sure Barca would still be technically superior. Cause individual skills thrive in collectiveness, in stability, in knowledge of your partners.That's what the difference is between a player with pure technical skills (Hatem Ben Arfa matches Messi in that aspect), and a technical player, who's able to put these skills at the service of the game.

meetdoscar 335 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Etoo-Mata-Hazard-Oscar-De Bruyne-WilianIn terms of pure technical skills it matches (even surpasses for me) Barcelone and the six Messi-Pedro-Sanchez-Iniesta-Neymar- FabregasRonaldo-benzema-dimaria-ozil-isco-modricMandzukic-Ribery-Robben-muller-goetze/kroos-shaqiri bayern still the best for me.

But chelsea look really good nowActually my order would beMadridBayernChelsea/Barça.The thing is Ozil has been on snooze for a while and Isco in new in the team (and Bale may replace Luka), but I think they have a slight edge because of Cris.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Lukaku/Torres/Eto'o/Ba Hazard/Schurrle - Oscar/Mata - de Bruyne/Will.I.An/MosesLampard/Mikel/Luiz - van Ginkel/Essien/Ramires Cole/Bertrand - Terry/Luiz - Cahill/Ivanovic - Kalas/Azpilicueta/Ivanovic/Essien Cech/Schwarzer/Blackman What a squad we have now. And the above doesn't even infer player interchangability, such as Schurrle/de Bruyne/Ramires/Hazard/Willian/Oscar/Mata all being able to rotate.

Berke 58 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Willian should prove to be a good signing and will come in handy in counter-acting situations as he has pace similar to Hazard kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Willian should prove to be a good signing and will come in handy in counter-acting situations as he has pace similar to HazardWillian will be as exciting as hazard in the league, i promise fans he'll take the EPL by storm with his superb dribbling skills and eye for pass. He's one of the players i've wanted chelsea to sign in a long time, so im so excited a player i watched and admired has been spotted by our scouts.................. at tottenham Berke, 1chelsea and Stingray 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 i can already visualize a trio of hazard-oscar-willian against big teams on away fixtures. counter the hell out of the teams. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 i can already visualize a trio of hazard-oscar-willian against big teams on away fixtures. counter the hell out of the teams.I think we'll see Hazard-Oscar-Schurrle against big teams in away games. As we seen tonight, all 3 work very hard and we have great balance with those 3. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we seen tonight, all 3 work very hard and we have great balance with those 3.lets see. i remember his work-rate being good against us when we played shakhtar. plus as good as schurlle was today, still think willian is different level (or maybe he just had 2 of his best games against us, have not seen him play at all excpet for that).
