nateevs: Never. KDB's all-round game is a class act above Schurle at this stage of their careers. KDB's composure, technique, vision, range of passes and sheer ability on the ball puts him right ahead of Andre. I quite agree that Schurrle will most likely be preferred as a wing forward, however, that's about all he can do. KDB on the other hand will fit nicely into a number of positions - playing primarily as a. winger in Genk and now as a CM in Bremen.

Apart from those abilities I highlighted, even Ibime will confirm to you that KDB leads many players in Europe with the quality of crosses he delivers, consistently.

I think you ninjas are carried away by flash and razzle-dazzle that De Bruyne possesses problem is you guys already have MAZACAR! De Bruyne aint that spectacular in my eyes not saying he can't be better but I'd definitely not have him over Schurrle
Schurrle can play as a striker,winger and attacking midfielder and he is quietly having a good season! 11 goals in the league and a big reason why Leverkussen is hot on the heels of Dortmund for 2nd place in the Bundesliga. He has fallen behind the likes of Gotze and Reus but I think he brings something different to Chelsea.

dayokanu: Feelers I am hearing has it would be Viktor Kassai the same ref who awarded that useless penalty and yellow card to Alaba at Bernabeu last year

He is the one it seems! Hopefully we wouldn't give them any room for any monkey business tho that shouldn't be our focus! This is Barca at its most vulnerable over the last 4 years we have to take advantage

montelik: I am actually kind of pleased now we messed up last week. If we hadn't, we would have won the league while having not kicked a ball. It always feels kind of shallow to win the league early when not playing.

I hope we still play decent teams in the remaining fixtures. I want to see what this Spurs side could achieve if the make it into the UCL and keep majority of their squad together. If we take points of Chelseea and Arsenal we can help them in their pursuit.

They actually made it to the quarters in their only appearance surely they can't do much worse than the English teams did this season
They just need a legit striker this summer! Ship Adebayor to Togo or sumn (its shocking how awful he's been this season)

Di Resta and the Force India are much improved this year! Nobody is slacking compared to previous years really so if Alonso thinks the title fight is between him and Vettel he would be dead wrong!

Button was awful today man! One woulda thought Hamilton's exit would catapult him to contention doesn't seem to be the case

Potential guard of honor for RVP! Hehehe iyaa o ki n se omi obe oh

Da phuck was I thinking sticking with Cazorla! Smh

Good job by Lewis and suprise suprise Alonso also made the points. Rosberg must be kicking himself from pole to 9th!!

@biolabee
Perez could have cost them both the race! Strategy worked today I'd give him that.
Webber is a wasteman just look at how he was passed at the end? This is not the ninja you want leading your title charge

Perez and Button all out war! That Perez dude is an average/poor racer in my eyes if not for the financial backing he has that dude shouldn't be in F1

MRbrownJAY: lol, i have always liked your enthusiasm about that RBR car but admit it, that Ferrari has been looking mighty fast lately and you cant possibly believe that being in front is all what SV has to do to win this one?! if by any chance SV goes in front, he will have to fight all the way through the last corner of the race to win this one.....especially with both Ferraris on different tyre strategy.

Lol dis guy! I have always opined that Alonso is playing possum and trying to milk out pity and sentiment from his fanboys that think he has an awful car they make it seem like Vettel is driving an SLR and Alonso a Keke Napep nothing is further from the truth! As the Raris are just as fast the difference is Vettel when he's in clean air just stretches the gap between him and other racers I honestly don't know how he does it but its evident

Hamilton languishing more or less! While Vettel is pulling away! Gotta feel for Alonso tho its amazing he is still in the race he would be lucky to even score any points in this race

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Talking about meeting 'Physical teams', u mean the 'Big guns' in a way huh?

Well as at Last Season, Andre played 11 games against Bayern Munich and Dortmund, and never saw the net. Not only did he not score in four UEFA Champions League games against Barcelona and Chelsea, he looked timid in the bright lights.
He averages 3.1 dribbles per game, but that dropped to 1.5 in the Champions League.
This fellah is sure afraid to express himsef against the big guns.

Maybe Joining Chelsea could help mutate him into a big game hardknock, until then...

I'd still prefer KDB to him at the flanks.[/color]

I admit Schurrle was rubbish last season but that's what you get with young players! Inconsistency! Besides the entire Leverkussen team played poorly against Barca i remember though that he did score against Valencia
He is better than De Bruyne at this point in their careers IMO

Super stuff from Vettel! Alonso in serious Gobe! DRS gone!

joeydozzy: grizzlies? they didn't win. clips did

Stephen curry didn't live up to expectations

Sorry I meant Warriors! Nuggets vs Warriors! Shoutout to Andre Miller still balling @ 37! 18 pts in the 4th
I didn't anticipate the Nets handing the Bulls such a beatdown they are going to have to get offense from somewhere

I'm not sure the Mercs would be able to cope over the duration of the race! The key is how quickly Vettel can get past Rosberg if he's able to do that and get clean air its over y'all!

Fynestboi: point out d one dat wuld be difficult

Away at Espanyol, Away at Athletico, Away at Bilbao (you guys would probably need to rest players against the 2nd leg at Camp Nou)

Barca this season have not been convincing at all

biolabee: choi.. barca shd be able to do the needful
the 12 -0 of 2009 is still causing pain for them

I really wish bayern met real sha

Your only win over Bayern in a competitive match! Our head to head is superior to yours! Not that it would matter on the day but Bayern is the team to push Barca over the edge!

chelseabmw: Weird fact: Ancelotti wanted to sign Sergio Aguero from Atletico in January 2011, a bid of £35m was ready (however, Atletico rejected it initially) but Abramovich & co. denied Carlo that they wanted Torres instead. [Various sources]

Mario Gomez was our 2nd option and admitted Chelsea made a bid for him of £35m. While we had 4 bids rejected for Torres and 5th one of worth £50 was finally accepted.

The point is not that whether Torres plays good or bad, the point is that why Abramovich & his board doesn't allow managers to build their own team? Usually we see players signed by board not by manager. Now they're attempting for Schurrle, his playing style is not the same as Hazard, Mata or Oscar, do we need him??

Schurrle is not so bad! Maybe you overpaid for him a tad but isn't that the Chelsea way? Truth is he's actually technically superior to say a Victor Moses plus he is young and can actually provide real width compared to Hazard and Mata he's also strong on the ball and wouldn't be bullied like MAZACAR when yall meet physical teams.

Johnpaul88: ^^^
Barca clueless without Messi? But we still manage to get three points and that's the essence of playing the match. With Messi, it'll be easier to get the 3 points but without him, we'll get the points anyway however tough it gets.

But come tuesday, a fully rested and fit Messi will be unleashed and we'll see how you can handle that. If Messi does not get injured again in Munich, i forsee a torrid time for Bayern back line. He's not kicked a ball for like ages. He'll be dying to get his magical left foot to kick one.

But its the truth! You guys were clueless! Its not about the margin you won guys like Iniesta,Xavi,Thiago,Villa played poorly!

Anyway unlike other teams we have goal scoring threats of our own so while we know all we have to do is shutdown Messi who do you shutdown for Bayern? If Alves and Alba go on their usual buccaneering runs you can be sure Ribery and Robben would punish em

Well Green was hot but Melo was hotter! Great game to start the playoffs tho

Nuggets and Grizzlies are also going at it

4llerbuntu: relieved to have won.

permit me to ask again:
#TheoWatch.

abeg how many goals/assists since signing da ting?

when i remember the kind of knuckle headed buffoonery that was being spouted on this thread at that time his contract was yet to be signed i laugh.

i think he is our best player abi? mcheew

Come correct and stop behaving like someone injected you with oestrogen!

n0m0705: I am not saying cazorla is not good, all I am saying is that he has not done enough to merit nomination, he is not even the best player for arsenal this season, in my opinion, if anyone merit being nominated in arsenal it is Arteta. Concerning who is a better player between cazorla and wilshere, I believe it's a matter of opinion, and I believe a fully fit wilshere is better and wield more influence in matches than cazorla. If cazorla is that important than wilshere he would not be shunted to the wing to accomodate wilshere in the midfield. Anyway, it is my own opinion(I will always pick a fully fit wilshere before cazorla)

Wilshere over Cazorla? Hahahahahahaha! Wilshere on steroids is no match for Cazorla in terms of midfield play! Arteta is not fit to shine Cazorla's boots either! Never has and never will! People are proposing Cazorla as Wenger's most astute signing in recent years and you are mentioning an overhyped and overrated Wilshere who isn't ranked outside of England! 20 plus games with no goal and an assist or two and you are here comparing a boy to elders
Cazorla is more versatile and started out on the wings. Don't confuse that for Wilshere being better cos that's a flawed assumption

I honestly don't think you guys can win all 6 games

Saw some Barca today! They clearly were playing possum Paul Breitner might have as well stayed back in Munich
One thing is evident tho! Barca is utterly clueless without Messi I'd be interested to see how Juup sets up as Messi when shut out knows how to defer to other teammates which makes him harder to shackle than C.Ororo

MRbrownJAY: ^^^dont forget disrespectful Massa trying to jump his elders team mate from the get go, lol!

Dem never born Massa reach make e try overtake him oga at the top

dayokanu: Why you dey para na the same boat we dey

U don win this tie again sha! Smh

Arsenal is infinitely useless! Chei! If its not Mertesacker its Giroud smh at these raasclats

Pizarro also had enough time for a brace! On to Wednesday!

Dortmund hardly rested any player I'm worried about their depth against Madrid but I know they can edge them all the same

Lewandowski scored again by the way @usbcable

Gomez is pissed off!! Another goal to make it 4

Odi meta meta! Ko ma roll 3-0 Gomez

Interesting lineup I only wish Kimi qualified higher to be a factor in this race! I hope he can somehow get past Sutil and Di Resta from the jump! The Force India cars seem to have improved too

Talking about jump I fancy Alonso trying to jump Vettel from the start and Vettel trying to do same to Rosberg! Tyre management would be key once again as this is about the hottest circuit out there

Riberyyyyy! 2-0

Robben,Lahm and Martinez on the bench! No sign of Schweini

1-0 Bayern an own goal by Stindl

MRbrownJAY: Bahrein qualifying is not even on the way and Ham already got himself a 5 place grid penalty..... coupled with their tyre
degradation issues, it doesnt look like it is going to be a great weekend for the Hamster.

Lol at the Hamster! Dude stays making errors!

Still don't think Vettel has managed his tyre selection well this season but with that being said Alonso has been a beast so far! And he keeps saying his car is not as quick as the RBR's and Lotus! What a whiner
