Closed Chelsea v Sporting Lisbon

[Barbara 15,149]

One of Mou's staunchest defenders here...

And may I say

What the fuck is Ramires doing on the pitch before RLC?

regaining form?

I want to see him playing as much as anyone here, I just don't get you guys demanding him to play as if his career depended on it.

It's a shame, but nothing beyond that.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Fuck off Mourinho seriously dont care if we lose today

[Styles 9,790]

Why the fuck did he bring RLC to the press conference? I actually thought he'd play around 30mins..

For PR and no other reason. Man City opened their new state of the art youth training centre the day before so the club probably felt compelled to get their own bit of good press.

He didn't really prove that he should be on the pitch more often...

generally ! he doesn't support him . salah needs more time !

It's absolutely needless for him to be on the bench. If he didn't give it the biggun in his press conference about playing him I wouldn't be too shocked, but it's a huge pisstake. We should've put him on when we got the 3rd. Absolutely gutted for him, feel sorry for the lads in our youth set up.

I actually did expect more of a fight by sporting

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Come on, guys. It's "academy day", fgs! You don't really expect an academy player to actually work on this sacred holiday?!

It's more that he talked so much about playing him and is only giving him less than 10mins. It's frustrating is all.

[Thendo 1,088]

What's the point of taking about it and bringing RLC to the press conference if he barely gets to play 5 mins.

Must be frustrating for RLC...

[DanishBlue 426]

5 min for Ruben... lame...

Well it's just bad publicity now, giving a youngster 10mins to play really isn't making a statement you want to use your academy players.

[zolayes 14,489]

leaving him on the bench has soured the whole evening for me ,, SHAME on you Jose

[MichaelDance 552]

Happy guys

[drog.ba 239]

Might as well shut down the academy so we have more £ to spend on players

[Laylabelle 9,434]

Perfect opportunity for time yet not given.daft

[Jusek 2,031]

aww yiss RLC!

[Stats 7,075]

If he makes a mistake leading to the equalizer, or even just comes on and we end up losing or drawing, his confidence would shattered. Put yourself in his shoes, is that how you'd like to remember your debut?

Anyway, that's irrelevant now, he should come on now.

He is one of the best prospects at the club and this country. He is not going to lose his ability over night if the worse happens. I mean even if it did happen tonight the result hardly affects us. To grow as a man you need to play and eventually, sooner or later he will be played in big games. I see your point but I would agree on it more if we needed to win. Our position is guaranteed. If we only give our youngsters cameo performances in future when are we actually going to trust them in the future?

[zolayes 14,489]

OMG he has got EIGHT ,, fucking WONDERFUL
