Hogwash. The fact is a ghost goal was allowed to knock out a team in the semis, which was not to be. If it happens to any other team too, i will criticise it.
it's no excuse.....
liverpool had to work the ball towards chelsea's goal to get that decision in their favour. how come chelsea couldn't do the same. if you match your opponent, you would get a draw....if you outfox your opponent, you would get a win.

liverpool got that ghost goal decision as early as the 4th minute. chelsea had 86 mins to get a goal & kill off liverpool but they failed. chelsea were 22 points ahead of liverpool in the domestic league & yet they couldn't get a goal against a team they had beaten home & away in the league.

I am not surprised at your comments because you are used to wayo wayo things, just as pdpish man utd. The football world governing body are not fools to have included the goal-line technology after all those unfortunate goal-line incidents of the past.
good for the world governing body to have added goal-line technology to the game. my question still persists........how come chelsea couldn't force a goal-line incident in 86 mins to get a decision in their favour like their opponent?

AdeLaNa1:
The same goal line tech that has failed teams. Or wasn't Chelsea the latest victim of Goal Line Tech last weekend??
the entire ball must cross the goal-line for a goal to be given. in that case, 0.300 inch of the ball was on the line so no goal....

How many teams got red carded against EPL clubs when England dominated Europe? How many penalties did they get?
barca got penalties cos they attacked more than most teams in europe. first & foremost, they hugged possession in 100% of their games and they camped in & around the box of their opponents in every game they played.

besides that....nearly all their players can dribble and twirl. i cannot think of a single mechanical player when pep was in charge. when you have messi, iniesta, pedro & villa running things in the attack.......penalties are imminent.

You have come again with your nonsense talk. which soccer rule said chelsea must score in 180 or even in 210 mins before she could qualify for the final? Most times you just type rubbish thinking you have made a point.
that's not the point.....mr. mumu
when i said the average chelsea fan is a knucklehead, you guys gnash your teeth. before chelsea fans can talk about luck in that particular game of ghost goal, chelsea team should have scored on the night. don't talk about luck when you as a team didn't make your own luck.

Your team in early 90s played 0-0 both legs in uefa cup and got knocked out by one unknown team via penalties. Assuming they had awarded a ghost goal to man utd, it would never be on record that you were beaten by such team.
are united fans talking about luck in that game? why are you drawing nonsense analogy to the baloney your comrades are saying? your folks are saying chelsea were unlucky in a game they didn't manage to get a goal in 180 mins. that's pure fückery!

When you want to raise a point, ensure it is not a fallacy. It's getting tiring. You lose credibility on per post basis.
says the fool that never knew depay won young player of the year in his league last season. i saw how you automagically disappeared from that thread like the fart of a leprous witch.

even if the game had gone on to penalty shootout, chelsea wouldn't have won. that scenario played itself out 2 seasons later and liverpool washed chelsea in the shootout. same team, same managers, same semi-final tie.

most people prefer to believe that the leaders they have come to adore are just & fair even in the face of evidence to the contrary. once a follower acknowledges that the leader he adores is corrupt plus a pathological liar, the follower has to choose what he must do about it.

to take action in the face of a corrupt leader or a corrupt government entails risk of harm to life & loved ones. to choose to do nothing is to surrender one's image of standing for principles. people like tonyebarcanista don't have the courage to face that choice.

in other words, most propaganda isn't designed to fool the critical thinkers like us. it is designed to give moral cowards like tonyebarcanista an excuse not to think at all. the concept is very simple but yet effective!

in the other semis, they lost twice to liverpool. the ghost goal incident is a poor excuse. without the ghost goal, chelsea must score to advance to the final. they didn't score in 180 mins of the semis. what is unlucky about a team that failed to score a goal in both legs of a semifinal tie?

Wayne Rooney

Another week goes by and it’s another really poor performance from Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney. It is simply astonishing how far Rooney has fallen and there can’t be many left, apart from Louis van Gaal, who feel that he still deserves a place in the United first team. The fact that Rooney is 86 on FIFA 16 anyway is a joke and he needs to be taken down to 83, maybe even lower.

http://www.squawka.com/news/5-up-2-down-7-players-who-need-their-stats-changing-on-fifa-16-this-week-2/500529
rooney should be taken down to 79.
he's a liability. i am not even too worried about his goalscoring. if he was doing the basics like holding the play, making intelligent passes, creating chances, making assists, having an excellent touch, etc we won't be criticising too much.

look at rooney's touches on sunday.....
how can a #9 be this pathetic?

My point is Vardy is 28, just two years younger than preggo. At 28 Rooney was already running on fumes yet he was given a second bumper package.
there's a tenable excuse for that.....
rooney started too early. at 16, he was already playing for a top-6 team in the premier league. this is his 14th season at the top level in a very physical league. there's no way he won't run on fumes at 28.

To me it seems he cannot go beyond what he has already offered us.
Yesterday he kept bumping into Herrera, falling back to retrieve the ball instead of making runs into the opposing box that would keep Otamendi or Kompany busy, thus nullifying Herrera. When your own player blunts other offensive weapons then I can't think of wha else to say. That was why Otamendi could be free to double up on Martial.
rooney is finished.
he's like the flaccíd pënis of a man trying to have sēx. he has nothing to offer. i blame LVG in parts for his lack of game management.

kompany had copped a yellow card in the first half. if LVG moved martial upfront to destroy kompany with pace, we woulda won the game cos kompany would have had to get sent off or get destroyed with pace.

however, van gaal kept a hopeless rooney with kompany. kompany is even faster than the current rooney so it was easy for the city defenders to tame rooney. they were very comfortable dealing with rooney.

I don't want to call for his head but he isn't offering anything for us at this point.
Did you see the pass Martial gave to Lingard?
Rooney was closer to the area but Lingard out sprinted him to get the attempt. Instead of Rooney to anticipate a follow up for a simple tap-in,he just stood there when Lingards effort came off the woodwork and put his hands on his head.

At that point I knew this guy no longer has the drive and hunger anymore.
everything is dead for rooney.
he has no pace, no vision and he no longer possesses a football brain. i don't even see him good enough to be on the bench. LVG should send him to dubai for a 4-week break.

rooney was world class in his late teens. no one would deny that. i said rooney is a fraud(that's a present tense). grin

rooney was my favourite player in the mid-2000s. i must have bought 20 of his shirts at that period of his mercurial powers!

parrotibaba: E be like say Rooney de drop like €50,000 for el jefe every Friday so that he go de start and finish matches any time he's fit. How can a player be this bad and yet for some reason still starts?
i can't really blame LVG.
the nature of rooney's contract says we must pay him £50k per week for his image rights & co. if he doesn't play, his brand will suffer & the club won't make enough from him to pay the contractual £50k per week.

LVG isn't stüpid - blame moyes!
none of the players LVG has sold was as bad as the current rooney. what gets my goat is the way the so called TV pundits are shying away from his pathetic performance.

if a foreign player has been as pathetic as rooney has been in the last 18 months, the criticism would be through the roof now. falcao of last season was better than the current shyte rooney is serving & yet rooney is immune to sitting on the bench.

lipsrsealed
When Wayne Rooney scored at Goodison last
weekend, people queued up to tell us why, actually, this is why you don’t write off the man. The last 2 games have demonstrated that, in his current guise, disappointment is the rule, not exception.

It’s not just that Rooney is offering nothing to
United’s attack; he is hampering it significantly.
Martial, Mata and Herrera can do all they can to take attacks so far, but at some point their team-mate needs to get involved. Then all promise turns to dust.

It is as if Rooney is playing with lead weights under
his shirt, labouring around the opposition half like a
35-year-old League Two striker telling everyone
who’ll listen that he’s still got it. He completed nine
passes in the first half, and gave the ball away
seven times. There is an increasingly familiar Old
Trafford groan reserved for a Rooney pass
straight into touch. It is becoming the soundtrack
of his decline.

The bizarre thing about Rooney is just how much goodwill he retains from those within the game, he is effectively immune to criticism. Here is his game in numbers: No shots on target, No chances created. A passing accuracy of 55% (the lowest on the pitch). Lost possession 28 times (highest on the pitch). One touch in the opposition penalty area.

Yet the only reaction from Gary Neville was to
twice praise Rooney for his defensive work, while
Martin Tyler remarked that he was “defensively
responsible at 30”. For a striker, that should be
the ultimate damnation by faint praise. The person with the most faith is Van Gaal, who still starts Rooney to the detriment of the team. Depay has struggled to settle in during his early months in England, but at least with Depay, age provides reason for patience.

More importantly, playing Depay on the left would
allow Martial to operate as a central striker. For a manager who demands movement from his forwards, it is difficult to see how dropping Rooney wouldn’t assist United’s creativity. Van
Gaal must surely now be at least considering that
option.

In terms of this game, the biggest crime was that
Rooney stayed on until the final whistle. He may
once have been United’s magic man, the player
who could conjure something out of nothing to win
you the game, but that time has passed. He was
a 90-minute passenger.

“Sir, I have to talk every week about Rooney,”
said United’s manager to a journalist in his post-
match press conference. “Why? I don’t give any
opinion. Sick of it. You have your opinion, write
it.” Not as sick as some United fans are at the
free ride given to the captain.

When having faith that Rooney could rediscover his greatness, bear this question in mind: What did he excel at? The 3 most obvious responses to that
question are pace, power and positive aggression.
Not only do all now look lost, but these are
impossible characteristics to switch on and off.
You can’t just decide to have more pace or add
ten times more power, and the aggression in
Rooney’s game has been reduced to swearing in
the direction of the officials. He has become a
parody of the jaded striker, a brightness dulled by
the rigours of his career. He is the old fighter still
stepping into the ring but now being punched from
rope to rope.

So the question to Rooney’s backers is this: What
are you waiting for? Rooney isn’t naturally fit
enough to regain his missing athleticism. He’s
played too many career games to find the spark associated with his early years at United. He has never been the type of striker who you would expect to redefine his style in order to prolong his career. It’s all very sad, but there’s a shell of a player where Wayne Rooney used to be. Van Gaal is one of few who must still have faith, and even that is waning.
