shymexx:

Darren Bent and Agbonlahor have scored a few hat-tricks. However, that doesn't mean they aren't average players. Sturridge just don't have what it takes, if he did, he should be a regular with the Three Lions right now.

Anelka won the golden boot because he was able to get a lot of tap-ins and easy goals. However, that doesn't change the fact that he can't shoot to save his life. How many times did that guy pass the ball to the GK? Heck, the guy missed a penalty at the Champions League finals - that was how useless he was... grin

Matic couldn't get into the Chelsea team back then because we had Lampard and Essien playing the best games of their careers. There was no way we would have replaced either of them with Matic.

Sturridge has scored 11 goals in 15 appearances for Liverpool FC. Yet you call him a flop. SMH. Man when you see greatness growing, salute it as I saluted EMENALO. grin

Afam4eva: Chelsea is a curse to football. They have successfully succeeded in staining the round leather game. I think FIFA has to come hard on teams that play negative football...I want to use this opportunity to congratulate Benfica for a job well done. They outplayed Chelsea today if not for the tragedy that is football. I await the UEFA super cup where chelsea will be gang r.aped by the team from Munich just like how Athletico bullied them in Paris last year.

Ntooorrr !!!!!

hornipipe: Manchester united will not sell Rooney to Chelsea, they'll rather see him go to barca.
If success was measured by the amount of money one splashes into the transfer market, real Madrid and Mancheter city would have been the most successful teams over the last 3 seasons.
Dortmund haven't even spent up to 1/4 of what you guys have spent but see where they are today. tongue
where are they? hav chelsea not been there b4?. how did they fare last season? group stage: how many semis and final have they been to b4 now? afta all they have not yet won it, their's is just a chance, let c how they will fare next season, stop all d hype and b objective 4once.

When Lukaku came to Chelsea, many didn't know what he was worth. Those who really believed in Lukaku were those who watched him play at Belgium or watched his debut against Ajax. I being one of them.

I didn't call him a flop. I said many of Chelsea fans I know called him a flop.

I used to convince them that he is a great player being played off position. All I would like to know, what convinced you that he was good. Did you watch him play at Belgium or any of his Europa Games?

His games at Chelsea were poor because he was playing off position.

Thank you!

It's best Shymmex be quiet cos frankly he's talking a lot but making a lot of errors

(1.) You are right. AVB played Lukaku as a winger in most of the meagre appearances Lukaku made

(2.) Moses has never been a striker

(3.) Sturridge has always been a deadly striker, and even when played on the wing managed 13 goals in half a season in 2012/13

(4.) Anelka is a striker in his own right. I don't know what nonsense Shymmex is yarning. In the only season he played as point man (first half of 08/09), he won golden boot. What does it matter if he doesn't hammer shot. The great Ruud Van Nistelrooy once went a whole season without scoring from outside the box and 99% of his goals were not from hard shots.

De Gea's growth at Man Utd is still shocking to me. I never knew he would be this good. Massive growth for the young lad.

He is.. Remember he benched sergio asenjo another top keeper
He won EL in 2011 then came to england

You know we discussed about coyrtois too.. I hope barca can land the guy

I think my problem with De Gea was that I was a big fan of Sergio Asenjo. He injured and De Gea took his place. When he recovered Quique Sanchez Flores refused to bring Asenjo back and the rest is history.

De Gea was very good especially in the UEFA Cup triumph of Athletico Madrid but I never knew he would be so great. He had a lovely season. Hope he continues and improves his form.

I hope Asenjo can put his injury problems to rest. It has been too continuous. I remember his last injury, he cried while he was being stretchered out.

I hope Pellegrini drops Hart for Pantilimon.

Then I hope Barca gets Courtois. Cech is still in brilliant form. That Oscar Cardozo save was breath taking.

My heart really goes out to the Benfica fans. They are what I call real fans and carry their team in their heart. Watching the Coach weep during Benfica's weekend loss to Porto broke my heart and I really wanted them to win today. Their fans really needed something to cheer them up but It didn't happen. cry cry cry cry

I just hope they area able to pick themselves up and fight for trophies next season. Cheers Benfica Coaches Players and fans.

Get your facts right. Casillas replaced Cesar Sanchez in that final, not Canizares.

Canizares was Valencia's number 1 keeper then...

Have you guys heard of the Benfica's BelaGuttmann Curse?

In 1959, Benfica signed Hungarian coach Bela Guttmann from Porto. In 3 seasons he won two Portuguese league titles, one Portuguese cup, and two European cups. in 1962 he asked Benfica's board for a pay raise and they refused. He angrily left the club and said "Not in 100 years from now will Benfica win a European
Cup." They've lost 7 European finals since:
1963, 1965, 1968, 1983, 1988, 1990 and now
2013.
51 years and the curse continues.
