Little details, indeed. They're lightyears behind. Tomo and BleedsBlue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 "Little details" such as needing a world-class striker, a more tactically-capable manager, and another midfielder to relieve the stress on Alexis. Little details, indeed. They're lightyears behind.A very solid CDM is needed as well. We saw the impact Matic had on our team, and the closest thing they have is Coquelin who just isn't in the same league at all.

Arguably their weakest area is their midfield. You can have all the pretty football players you could ever want, your Wilsheres, your Ozils, your Cazorlas, but without a stable presence behind them, you're never going to challenge.

Mertesacker has the turning circle of a battleship and if he ran any slower he'd be going backwards. As soon as the ball gets past him (as it does quite often) he's useless. They need (literally and figuratively) a spine to the team, which they just don't have right now. didierforever, lucio, BlueLion. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Its hard on the eyes isn't it mate! Makes me wish for temporary selective blindness.And I do understand the need for pulling other teams to pieces, apart from it often being factual it makes us feel a bit better about our own problems!

Popular Post! Viper22 2,418 Posted July 28, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted July 28, 2015 So I actually met the legend. The man himself. What a gentleman he was.I'll be honest I was like a child. Could hardly contain my excitement.Met him when I was at the Emirates Cup on Sunday (met other players too, the pictures are in the Mugshots thread if anyone is interested) with my missus, dad and brother. My dad showed him his Chelsea tattoo and bless the man he apologised profoundly to us for leaving. I said to him to not be silly, that myself as well as almost every other Chelsea fan with a brain still viewed him as a legend of the highest order and wished him the happiest in life no matter where he went, and that he more than deserved to choose where he went. I hope he listened because he really is an amazing gentleman and a Chelsea legend. Was a fantastic experience meeting him!!!

Viper22 2,418 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 But... But.... But... I Want Too!!!! Where You sat that you met him?Genuinely my 2nd thought after having the picture taken with him was "xPetrCechx and Alex on the TC forums are going to be pretty jealous after this!". Sorry that you've never got a chance to meet your hero but trust me, he's a lovely lovely bloke.I was in the Diamond Club. A family friend works at Fly Emirates and can get my family tickets for the Director's box, Diamond Club or Fly Emirates box on occasion when they're not being used by others in the company. Met Arsene Wenger last year in there and saw Sanchez but didn't get a chance to collar him for a photo. This time saw lots of people come through including Cech and got pictures with all of them (except Ozil, he was rushing).

The difference is he's celebrating winning a Community Shield, not a European Cup. Johnnyeye, iseah100, Spike and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 HIs presence alone made Ramires and Hazard shoot well over. Like Neuer made Benzema, Higuain and Palacio waste their chances. Nevermind Cech would have had no chance from 4 yards if ramires had only got the ball on target and for Hazard's shot, he was already committed. A simple lob or a shot into the near corner would have done the job. Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
