Barbara 15,149 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Jamie picked Cesc but Gary picked Schneiderlin for team balance purposes rather than who has been the best central midfielder. All in all, Gary wanted to pick Cesc but his affiliation towards Chelsea these past few years would yet again be opened out. Even though I do love it. well, the midfielder with the best return in the league (assists + goals) isn't part of their midfield.Seriously, they lose all credit doing it. Matic + Cesc has been in my opinion the best pivot partnership in the league by far exactly because it's very balanced.Not that it matters anyway, this is just a TV show team of the (half) season, but it's laughable regardless.and which affiliation towards Chelsea? Didn't know about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Yeah, even Gary himself said he doesn't know why he picked Schneiderline over Cesc. Jamie even said "I hope that Cesc is not watching this show, because he'd never watch again!" I reckon Sky didn't want even more Chelsea players in that team so they don't look biased.

So they could have chosen another RB instead of overlooking a guy that is among the top3 players in the league... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 well, the midfielder with the best return in the league (assists + goals) isn't part of their midfield.Seriously, they lose all credit doing it. Matic + Cesc has been in my opinion the best pivot partnership in the league by far exactly because it's very balanced. Not that it matters anyway, this is just a TV show team of the (half) season, but it's laughable regardless.They did a twitter poll to decide two positions which they didn't agree on - Cahill vs. Fonte, and Cesc vs. Schneiderlin. Arsenal fans (who are always obsessed with twitter polls, the only thing they win lol) voted en masse for Fonte and Schneiderlin in particular.

All in all, Gary wanted to pick Cesc but his affiliation towards Chelsea these past few years would yet again be opened out. Even though I do love it. Well that's true. A mid of Hazard, Matic, Sanchez and Fabregas would not be of great balance. That's why you don't play with 2 strikers, and I would choose Aguero over Costa. And put Fabregas in for Costa. Now that would be a well balanced and build team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop fonte as well, but I dont know what other cb in the league was good this year.No one on that squad is particularly good in set pieces.. *maybe sanchez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 if you read and see what neville writes and speaks about us, you would think he was an ex-chelsea legend. He's just a bloke who appreciates the type of football we play and the way we conduct or business both on, and off the field. He gushes about and rightly so, it's about time someone in the fucking media did, we deserve it.i've said it before today and will say it again, this team we have now is mighty special. didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
