Nemanja Matic

hopefully this means Fat Frank will be benched a lot more now, the terrible thing is if Ramires is scarified for Matic and Lampard continue to be selected, that WOULD BE MASSIVE MASSIVE FACEPALM

Sometimes you really do chat the most amount of shit on this forum!

How is it shit, surely everyone on this forum can see the best possibly partnership for the pivot is Matic and Ramires. Lampard has been great for us and is a legend but he is getting on a bit and just doesnt provide enough defensively.

Next time try to explain the reason you disagree rather than insulting someone.

Obviously, we now have a CDM who can actually DEFEND, but imo Lampard contributes nothing significant anymore apart from 1-2 odd goals here and there, just not worth it compared to Ramires and what he can offer.

1or 2 goals ,, OUR TOP EVER SCORER ,,,,is your name rodney cos you are a PL********

Same can be said about Ramires, what does he offer in attack to play over Lampard? i mean no disrespect to anyone, but we don't need 2 defensive players in the pivot against most teams at Stamford Bridge.

This is why Lampard is still valuable.

No it is not my name. And 2nd of all, yeah back in the days where he was considered to be the best in football in his role more advanced up field, now he is not even in top 15-20 in any position.

Okay people time to play armchair pundits.

Bring out your best formation and all the other alternatives after that.

this is part of the scout I'm writing for Chelsea Brasil right now.

I think there's a chance Mourinho will interchange Ramires and Matic sides of the pitch (he does say he likes to play lefties in the right and right-footed in the left). But I think that's it. Rami as a B2B player, with more freedom, and Matic as the contention, defensive player, with the sporadic cameo in the attack (white arrows) to make use of his potent long distance shots.

The other players I chose are part of the starting XI Mourinho's been choosing before Iva got injured. Not exactly a personal preference.

He could actually do this?

Yeah Lampard is only valuable when HE DOESN'T NEED TO THINK ABOUT DEFENDING

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

He must have handed in a transfer request or threatened to do so, otherwise no way they part with him so fast without what seems like even negotiating.

you are entitled to that opinion ,,BUT NO Chelsea fan ever INSULTS a true Chelsea legend in the way you have ,,,

Number 6 was available, and he goes and choses Kalou's jersey.

An astute signing nonetheless.

When Ramires goes in attack, he draws a lot of defenders...

When lampard goes in attack, he doesnt draw that many defenders.

Especially, in the counter, Rambo is deadly with his speed and 1v1 ability (best on our team by far).....

OMG lol you thought I meant it? It was a joke, it is like calling Rooney Shrek. It is clearly not intended to insult him personally, just saying something that he has been called over the years. Sorry if you found it offensive.

since you constantly criticise Lampard ,,it does not sound like a joke, but at least you know perhaps realise how offensive it is dave.. I have NEVER heard any

CHELSEA fan call him FAT FRANK

[Fernando 6,453]

DISGUSTING POST ,,only a Hammer or Scouser would call Lampard that ...... I would get banned for using the term that would accurately describe you

Well if you didn't know he clearly is a troll.

Is that either the admin don't ban him and people are so gullible that they fall for him and keep feeding his trolls.

drive and energy

He already had 21 at Benfica.

Who made that pass to Ramires?

That is my point. I've been frustrated with Lampard's passing this season, but he's still light-years ahead of Ramires in that department.

When Ramires goes in attack, he draws a lot of defenders...

When lampard goes in attack, he doesnt draw that many defenders.

Especially, in the counter, Rambo is deadly with his speed and 1v1 ability (best on our team by far).....

He is deadly on the counter, but 4/5 times this season he makes the wrong decision and kills the attack.

[didierforever 7,349]

so now i read that MATIC is already a better player for us than LAMPARD without playing even a second of football on the pitch.

BRILLIANT!!!

i get the hype of a new signing, but this is just
