Well, in David defense i often laugh when i feel pain but i might be a little masochist.

I don't care how the player reacts after the contact if there was a foul, unless in some exagerated cases like Neymar infamous rolling.

For me kovacic reaction was normal.

No arguments for the Drogba one except Drogba is Drogba. lol

how is it 'normal' to go down when hes not been touched? If that was a player from another team doing it to us we would be all over it.

Sorry, my post seems to be bugged for me.

I expressed myself wrong, in comparison to Neymar and Drogba simulation kovacic was "normal", he was expecting to be hit and forced it, happens, you don't want to lose the ball, but he didn't add much to that, wasn't screaming in pain or complaining to referee.

Not saying the didn't simulate but is not as dire as people want it to be

Sometimes you have to go down when someone is charging at you to protect yourself from injury?

Thats the Chelsea spirit we love eh!

And I cant  see anyone charging at Kovacic unless it was the invisible man/

Its just not right whoever does it in any circumstance.

Sorry but if I was the manager of someone who did it I'd give them a right bollocking and a fine no matter who it was.

 

 

Tbh, in the Luiz case, I think he really did get kicked in the ankle.

It just his giggling after the foul that changes the perspective

I love the guy but dont like it when anyone does this specially our own lads

 

If you watch his feet from 10 seconds to 14, you will see he slipped, didn't dive. It was not a foul, but also not a dive. IMHO. People can argue either way.

Arsenal need to stop whinging on about that sequence and worry about all those missed sitters, and the fact their back 4 is shambolic steaming pile of shite and Mesut Özil is the laziest star on the planet.

Agree with the slip but still put his spin on it to be something else.

Case closed

Yep! Had allot of time for Ozil once and wondered if we should get him. don't know what happened to him.

Well, one thing is for sure. I can't see Kovačić and Hazard both going to Madrid. If it really comes to Eden leaving for them, our board will be smart enough to include Kovačić permanent buy in the deal. If he comes good for us, of course.

Sorry but I dont really care who has to be benched., its all about us putting together the best team we can. Ive never seen what others have in RLC but tried and wanted to. But right now IMO Kovacic will be number one and Barkley will do a good job as backup and hopefully it will make him grow and try to fight for his spot.

I dont even understand why Real is so obsessed with a LW (Hazard). They already have 3 world class (or soon to be in 2 cases) players who can play there. Asensio, Isco, and the best overall 18yo player on the planet in Vinícius Júnior. They need a striker badly and a centre back and a backup left back far more. I also would assume they REALLY want SMS to replace Modric.

Exactly, they need another goal machime but Ive no idea where they would put Eden.

but they really want Alonso - and Barca apparently. wonder if they want Varane as much lol

You are not alone in failing to grasp RLC. I think we all are a bit infatuated with his size and some of his skillset, but he never seems to but it all together. He doesn't play to his physicals strengths, I do believe is my main concern. He should be a battering ram, not a wannabee Pedro, lol.

He is one of the truly puzzling players in the EPL. We have 3 more in that league as well, Morata, Emerson and Barkley. I cannot wrap my head around any of the 4 fully.

I always assumed that If any team could do my 2014 onward dream of putting Icardi and Dybala in same forward grouping, it would be Real (or Juve). If they did that and got a CB to replace Ramos soon (Marquinhos I would assume is their top target), plus SMS to slide in for Modric, watch out world.

They do NOT need Hazard for shit in that scenario. Vinícius Júnior looks to be a monster in a few years.
