Steeeeeeerliiiiing!!!! |
popizaino:I'm with you on this. Henderson is the only ball progressor. Phillips just sits on top of Rice |
Its only a matter of time before Pickfords lack of height hurts any team he plays for |
benalvino2:You mean that widely lampooned eêdiot Doug Mastriano |
budaatum:This guy is seriously pained |
basilico:You mean Giuliani had all these while Trump was President, and they never got handed to the FBI. The same Trump who was impeached for sending emissaries to Ukraine to go digging for dirt on Hunter Biden. As they say, a sücker is born every minute, and you basilico are one. |
popizaino:If Rafa ever put Hazard on the bench, it's to rest. But when he dropped Mikel, it's because Mikel was a basket in midfield in any other setup other than a bus parking set up. |
popizaino:Mikel career after that final, getting benched for Luiz to play midfield so that Chelsea midfield can stabilise a bit says otherwise. Mikel from that point was a bench warmer. Benitez even dropped him fully for Oriol Romeu, just that Romeu suffered a cruciate injury. After that injury, Benitez moved Luiz to midfield rather than play the snail Mikel. And few months later his handcuff to the bench was completed when Chelsea bought Matic. Mikel only took 5 months to disgrace himself after that UCL final and spent the next 4 years on the bench before being sent to China. Even when Conte came, Conte still used Chalobah as first sub instead of the escort. |
popizaino:Last I checked, Chelsea bus was parked and there was no escorting, it was just a long range shot. Ballack was even closer. |
popizaino:The venue of the match is redundant. What is important is the score from the first leg. Busquet already disgraced Barca in first leg 4-0. Barca kuku played fringe players in the second leg knowing the tie is over. When you are chasing a 4-0 scoreline, of course you go gung ho and leave yourself open to concede more. Busquet has already done the damage in the first leg |
Trevor012:30%, thanks to their fake regista that could not request the ball and get them passing |
Trevor012:Indeed. Then I realised he can only do this against Newcastle and Crystal Palace. From 186 passes against Newcastle in 90 minutes to 29 passes against Spain in 120 minutes. If it no be real regista, e no fit be regista |
popizaino:You must be joking. Check the line up https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/match/2009609--bayern-vs-barcelona/lineups/?iv=true If you are talking about the second leg which was 3-0, why should Barca players struggle when Busquet has already sold the first game 4-0 |
Ebukacute:lol. Regista wey dey make 30 passes in 120 minutes. You must have forgotten the meaning of regista. Not my regista! |
popizaino:Go and check the line up again, then come back and claim your L |
Dost42:No goal is down to any single player unless he passes it directly to opposition to score. There is no goal you will score that someone won't say this and this player could have done better. But the fact is when you have an escort midfielder, you will be constantly blaming everyone when he could have stopped the problem at source. Like you said, Chiesa goal does not exist if Busquets simply runs back step for step. |
BlueAngel444:When a virus is in my team that I know my team will never be consistent with such a player, I will continue to expound on his weaknesses. You never see anything. Go and ask people here about my issue with Mikel in 2012. Mikel just like Jorginho could control possession against small teams. Mikel like Jorginho could park the bus very well and was one of our best players in 2012 UCL within that system. Yet I kept highlighting his weakness which is the exact same weakness as Jorginho, that is the minute you demand Mikel to play attacking football against any decent side, Mikel will turn your midfield into basket and start escorting everyone from 20 yards further up the pitch. Most of the guys who were arguing for Mikel then saw it the next season and now most of those same guys are anti any escort midfielder in Chelsea. The next season, that's how Mikel knocked Chelsea out of UCL group stage and once again was leading Chelsea to the inconsistency of struggling to make 4. The rest is history as everyone found out Mikel cannot anchor an attacking team and became a perennial substitute before being dashed away to China. Jorginho will play out exactly the same way when he is asked to anchor an attacking team. You should be worried about a midfielder that can't stand up to West Ham, Leicester, Villa midfield for Chelsea and gets run ragged whenever he faces these sort of teams. That is when a good controller will have these teams parking the bus, such should be his dominance of the football. Don't worry about Hojberg who Spurs fans consider their 3rd best player behind Son and Kane and voted as such. Worry about Jorginho who cannot make top 7 Chelsea players in any of the 3 seasons he has been at Chelsea |
popizaino:Are you talking about the 4-0 vs Bayern? If so, check the line up again. I don't know any other 4-0 in 2013 |
BlueAngel444:How many goals should striker score to get you out of a 5-2 result that Jorginho dug you into against West Brom? In just the last month of the season, Jorginho dropped you points against West Brom and Arsenal. Even when it came to the final last chance saloon against Villa, common Nakamba and McGinn totally dominated him, the nigga couldn't even bring Chelsea up the pitch into Villa attacking third, too busy being overwhelmed by McGinn. On this rock, you think you will build a consistent title challenge. |
Kilishihunter:At least you see Kante changing direction to go challenge two unmarked men as Pogba was out of position. Busquet neither changed direction nor focussed on anything else. He was just trying to keep up with the referee |
BlueAngel444:That's because Matic does not drop points regularly against midtable teams like this. This should be the reason Gareth Bale became a Chelsea legend by helping Chelsea make the top 4 after Jorginho nearly took us out of it
|
Kilishihunter:The man you said Kante should chase was 20 yards up the pitch from Kante, and you said Kante should chase the ball before it gets to the man There is no way Kante will be running alongside Chiesa here and Chiesa will get through, talkless of the referee
|
BlueAngel444:I watch numbers when it matters, not counting Jorginho passes against Palace then turn a blind eye to his passes when he is facing decent teams. I can even turn a blind eye to that sef, it's his numbers against midtable teams like Villa, West Ham and Leicester that worries me more. |
MorataFC:Which kain Mathematics be this. At this point, Busquet is ahead of Chiesa and neck and neck with the referee. The referee and Chiesa must be Usain Bolt then.
|
BlueAngel444:Chelsea outplayed which City? Chelsea played in their half and counterattacked. Jorginho only completed 31 passes that game at 79% success rate. For comparison his City equivalent Gundogan completed 76 passes at 95% success rate. Any possession Chelsea had was mostly passing ball at the back. There was hardly space and Jorginho still let City runner through on goal 4 times. There is reason he was the lowest rated Chelsea player apart from Werner that game. Stop doing attachê to other people's work. If not for Kante energy to burst through the lines and create those counterattacks, na full bus wey Chelsea park with moments of counterattack prompted by Kante. Despite that he still let City through 4 times.
|
popizaino:So a DM conceding 8 goals should be overlooked? How about all the regular 4 goal hammerings they have been taking for the last 6 years. I guess that has nothing to do with the DM. The underlying issue why they have been conceding cricket scores was highlighted yesterday. It is just a highlight that encapsulates what happens when an escort DM turns midfield into highway for even referee to run through and DM can't keep up with him. If you could highlight which Italy player Busquets was running back to mark, then you may have a point. |
Debroslink:Which Owen in which attack? Last time Owen led an attack at a tournament for England was 2004. 2004 and 2006, they did well mainly because they had an actual DM (Hargreaves) in 2006 and only exited on penalties Heskey led 2010 World Cup as no 9 Peter Crouch was top 9 in the failed attempt to qualify for Euro 2008. Beckham has not been a winger since 2003 and was at best a 4-4-2 winger which spoiled England game as he made them play 4-4-2, leaving Gerrard as DM and Lampard as CM which was unsuitable to compete in an era where teams play 3 midfielders and two flying wingers. Lennon was the starting winger in 2006. Joe Cole in 2010. You are playing 4-4-2 with Beckham as RW, Gerrard DM, Lampard CM and Lennon/Wright-Phillips/Joe Cole as LW with Rooney and Crouch/Heskey upfront Even a blind man knows such team is unstable in an era where teams are playing 3 midfielders and 2 flying wingers with a point 9 You can blame lack of personnel or bad coaching, but if you ask me the following setup would have made England more competitive in that era but coaches were scared of Beckhams influence in the media and kept dragging the team to play 4-4-2 which was outdated and ill suited to the personnel ________________Hargreaves ______________Scholes______Lampard Gerrard_____________________________________Cole _______________________Rooney |
popizaino:Don't worry about that. Even when Barca was getting stoned 8-2 by Bayern, I'm sure you'll find a reason why Busquet is not at fault as referees lap him on counterattacks. Just admit Busquet is too slow and stop all this shalaye. When a counterattack is on, everybody fall back. Alba has fallen back, even referee has fallen back. Busquet is trying to fall back, but nigga is slower than milk float
|
Debroslink:You can never dash me L if England wins. A team must be complete to win, not like Lampard days where England had no wingers, no DM and were using Darius Vasell and Emile Heskey to prosecute tournaments as no9. It does not matter if you have some generational talents if your team has sore weak points. You can ask your MCM Messi why Argentina did not win a tournament under him so far. |
popizaino:That player in the circle made it back to support his teammates while Busquet was being lapped by the referee despite running his guts out |
swiz123:If I ask you to quote where I said that, you will start fumbling. I said I don't believe in 3-4-3 as a template and used the example of no team having won UCL playing 3-4-3 as the reason for my argument. |
swiz123:What type of defending did Italy play yesterday? Chelsea won and I hid under the euphoria of the win? You are very foolish. Did you not see where I said that Man City's 4 chances in that final were caused by Jorginho escorting? Literally all 4 chances we conceded would have been stopped by.a faster DM. Thank Rudiger for saving Jorgs with a sliding block on Foden after Jorginho let him run through otherwise you won't be opening your rotten mouth to type nonsense like above
