Manuf 1,448 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 If you think we are the best team in Europe than your deluded.That's like saying Liverpool in 2005 were a better team than us.Winning a cup competition doesn't always mean your the best but winning a league title does.I'm deluded, you're right. We aren't even near the level of Real Madrid because they've won the Primera Division and all we achieved was winning CL and FA Cup. They're better because their players are better. Fair enough.

You sit back and withstand pressure from the opposition, while hoping to be able to get a few chances on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazyB 58 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 It makes sense. They could use Sturridge, MRLSH, and 30 million pounds. Would suck to play against your old best player twice a year, but he needs to come play for the Blues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rising Sun 711 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The midfielders mostly act as a shield and make simple forward passes to the attackers. Lampard and Mikel are both capable of doing that but Lampard needs to stop venturing forward and stay deep with Mikel.Wait.....What?sorry if you believe in Mikel, but never have,never will. He gives one good performace in 10 games, meaning 3-4 good performances a season, but starts 40-50 games a season. He is decent for a backup, not for a Chelsea starter IMO.

Santiago. 1,500 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 You are an absolute mong if you think we are on the same level as Real Madrid or Barcelona. Winning the CL showed spirit and passion that outweighed any skill or ability our opponents had."Chelsea were not the most talented team, but they were the team that wanted to win it the most" Diego Maradona.Barca and Real Madrid like it or not are on a whole new scale of football at the moment. Barca were unlucky not to beat us with the amount of chances they had and Madrid suffered from fatigue from lack of substitutions during their CL bout with Bayern and the season. iamjack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So - this brings an interesting debate - is the team that creates the most chances the best team? Or is it the team who actually scores and WINS the game? Don't fall into the possession trap either - that's another meaningless stat... Pacquiao and Melanicus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possession also means nothing when your whole gameplan is to actually let the opposition have the ball! We are more than capable of competing with any team on the planet as we have proven! Its stupid to think Madrid are on another level to us because they really aren't! I would fancy our chances in a one off game against anyone! why because we can compete with any team on this planet!

Popular Post! Kezza 1,965 Posted August 20, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted August 20, 2012 Who the fuck cares if RM are better than us. We aren't in the same league, we'll face them a maximum of 2 times per year.They have the greatest manager to grace modern football and some really good players.We are CL winners, they aren't. Theymaybe be better than us, but we have the silverware. END OF zolayes, Pizy, Wise and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play in a league where only two teams compete for the title, with strikers scoring ridiculous numbers due to the general quality of the opposition defence.Oh and they were beaten by Bayern because Bayern are a better team. I'd bank on them beating RM. 6-7/10 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanicus 5,208 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Barcelona is no way better than us. To have 20 chances and not score... That's what you call the best?

Ye we did brilliantly against them over two legs and we had a lot of fortune in getting through against them. But Barcelona have set a new standard in football which all other teams must try to catch up to. iamjack, Santiago., Chelsea? and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,952 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Wouldn't be surprised if Levy is getting fed up with Madrid not forking over the cash. Less than 2 weeks to find a replacement and another striker, so they'll want to hurry this along.That's where we can come in. I'd say if we offered around £35m they'd sell just to see an end to the saga. He'd make SUCH a difference in our team. I'm sure Lamps wouldn't mind taking a more reduced role with a player of Modric's quality ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
