El Guapo: A Milan team that had El Sharawy, Boateng, Montolivo, Mario etc on parade Is Useless?

An Inter team that deploys an effective 3-5-2 formation with a good manager is also Useless?

Lala dont U Jxt put the I in Ignorance?!

Real Is a top notch team, they had almost thisame Squad of Last season on show against us, Mou on the other hand was testing out a Conservative tactic with this new look Chelsea for the first time - U shoulda always expected surprises.

Manure ve being losing to some Fish smokers In Asia, Arsenal to Gala, Citeh held by some Southafricans yet I dont see a fuss emanating from their Camps - Infact, Debosky still thinks they'd be doing a Treble

Calm down Rocky fella, we'd be on a ride by May.

Point of correction, they were beaten.

lalaboi: You all think people are going overboard. you were busy getting impressed when we was winning the useless ones and playing well. This was the first real test against a very good team and they didnt perform. so damn yeh people wont keep quiet and say its just a friendly. Poor is Poor, make una no use pre-season friendly cover am. If we had won that game against that madrid lineup, nobody will say it has "No Value"

You do have a point but again, you have to admit that this is more or less a "new team" and therefore cannot compare. I say wait till we play a 3-4 EPL matches before going "overboard".
Yes, we were poor (no one said otherwise) and it would have been better if we won but we didn't. End of...

By the way are you the same "lalaboiy" from notjustok.com?

usbcable: why getting worked up over a "valueless" pre-season tourney.

when the real work starts then we can start apprasing the teams.

until then all games are bloody experiments

My guy +50 for you.
My Real brother from another thread.

CFCfan: Chelsea clearly lost the game in the midfield. Ramirez and Lampard barely strung 3 passes together

Not only those 2. The entire team but as Nateevs said, no need going overboard.
The boys from Real (assembled mainly by JM himself) are in their prime You can't compare to ours at this moment.
Its a pre-season and you can bank on the fact that we wont be playing like today.

Tgen: I love Russia and the language...d truth is that, racism is at it's peak, whatever city you might find yourself or intend going, you'll face it, though it defers by city. The bottom line is that, if you are scared of racism, you will be scared of Russia, so if racism is an issue to you, think twice my friend.
Also, if you don't have strong financial backup, your stay in Russia might be terrible, you need to be financially stable cos getting a job should be your last motive of coming to Russia. Moscow is a cool place to stay cos it provides more oppurtunities than all other cities, but u should also know that moscow is one of the most expensive cities in the world, st. Pt b is also ok...don't know much about the city, but i'll advice Tver cos its affordable compared with moscow n st. Ptbough and also, Tver is just the next city to moscow...abt 1hr 30mins or less from moscow. Language also, could be a barrier. Best of luck!

Point of correction, Tver is about 3 hours from Moscow by bus or 2 hours 20 min on normal train. Only Sapsan runs that fast and its expensive.))
What is it that you love about Russia and can't get my head around what is there to love about the language?

Do you guys have to make such comments in your efforts to be funny?

[quote author=A-40]If una carry this one come for 30th nna na Chidi Lloyd tins oh[/quote]lol. nah, we wont and cant play like this against you guys. by then we would have played 3 EPL matches. Expect FIRE!!

A good pre-season win for RM. It was like your boys had things to prove to JM. Went all out gun-glazing. Ronado played 90 mins!!! Its pre-season, but if you played like today (though Chelsea was poor, we couldn't retain the ball for long periods ) La Liga will just be yours easily.

mithel: Another thing i would note is , all the madrid players had emotions infested in this game,wanting to prove mou wrong and all,taking the game over serious by adding dives and other things to the mix , as you can see even ronaldo played 90 minutes, whereas Mou had himself and maybe lampard, terry and cole, other players took it like any other game, it would take sometime before them hazard and co would start playing for Mou

You got that right bro. For Real players, it was damn very serious. They were out with a mission. Got to give it to them though. A deserved win.

lalaboi: I did not decide anything. You going to tell me Mourinho didnt look hurt by that? Pre-season or not

he did look hurt no doubt. The man no like to lose at all.
damn, I'm yet to see that Chelsea "DNA".

If you ask me me think

1. The team played only for 10-15 mins then faded away.
2. Ball retention/possession or whatever you call it was close to zero.
3. The combo of Ramirez and Lamps will be a BIG risk unless...
4. Chelsea is just NOT fast enough. Fatigue or fitness level is low?
5. Y'all may be surprised but I'm not impressed with JM so far. Certainly not based on this match as I did mention before now that (JM also acknowledges this) Asia trip was just a "facebook" thing. Against Milan and Inter we were good but I still felt not that fast enough and sometimes didnt know what to do in the final third. I could well be wrong on that.
6. Ivanovic was clearly rubbish today - just like against Swansea . Whats the problem with him?
7. The only creative player we have is Mata and the guy with killer passes (Luiz) was also absent.

Positives.
1. MvG so far I think has been impressive. He will grow.
2. Lukaku will learn even faster. He has no other choice.
3. This is pre-season and changes, tactics etc will be made. Looking forward to the season. Make the thing start tomorrow jare.

mithel: I think cech hasn't been all that today

totally agree.

Match officially over. Se na Roma next?

Ivanovic again?

mithel: Mehn torres stat for chelsea pooooooor die....


15 epl goals in 85 epl appearances

na epl dem dey play now?

Ivanovic easily the worst player on the pitch. not one single pass reached its target.

Only contribution so far was a saved header.

mithel: Them give am moses na

moses dey field?

started brightly and then relaxed. na friendly sha.

just like in the first half, that ride side needs fixing. give marcelo something to worry about and force ronado to track back. at the moment both are enjoying themselves. even Benzy.

nateevs: 3-1 Ronaldo. Jose is not happy with ivanovic.

no one is. he is not having his best of games.

haba. the back line just slept off. what time is it in Miami?

hazard. na wetin?

A brighter start

The e-mail never got to me but you can contact via my signature. just click on it.

Real bossed the first 45 mins and threatened every time especially via Chelsea's right side.

Meanwhile it does seems to me that we are trying to play through the middle from where our goal came but why not use the flanks. stretch Real a little?

dademola: Lukaku; new drobga indeed!!

you were saying?
boy needs time. ease off man.

That was late from Lamps. Yellow card.

2nd half will be different. them boys aint or cant just hold on to the ball.

2-1. me like friendlies like this. almost like the real deal.

wetin dey do this ref sef?

That was QUICK! Fantastic combo.
Ramirez!

Fully deserved goal. see Ramirez jogging back abi na escort for Marcelo? lol.
