OMO IBO: How many 1 v 1 chances has torres converted in his chelsea career??

As far as my brain can go it reads zilch!

Surely, Torres is bound to succeed at chelsea. No other player has it this easy. I mean, torres can afford to 'hands on waist' for the entire match and still gets picked for the next game.

#iwither

@bolded,
the most important so far in his club career.
rewind to the last semi final of the UCL where he dribbled past a certain valdez.

no more need to have a zilch record.

but as for epl matches, I no fit say sha oo.

ddippset: ok lets agree barca have divers. then madrid have divers and bullies(they cant compete for the football so the go for the legs, i could name names)

look at it this way

iPhone 5 is a better version of iPhone4s
SG3 is a better version of SG2

hence we only uped the game and added extra features to the former version
meaning we had to come out wif a bang and with something better

hence PEPE was born. with a DI MARIA as a freebie.

ddippset: i just cannot understand how a coach who goes on to assault his colleague should not be hated. shouldnt that be the worst incident of a coach's misbehaviour in history? it should. and FYI fans , esp nigerian fans are extremists. they celebrate more than the clubs in good times, they curse more than the clubs in bad times. and usb you sure love mourinho more than ronaldo and pepe not to talk of alonso and cassilas.

everything yo just said
G.B.A.M.

buuuuuut,

you guys loathed him before he "titoed" vilanova.
on behalf of RM fanz i apologise for his me demeanour. The guy actually had apologised to tito himself, so make una no carry another mans headache for him

ddippset: team in the making? assembled with millions of pounds? taking a 5-0 drubbing? that's no excuse for a 5-0 thrashing. team in the making, 1-0 ok, 2-0 ok but def not 5-0.

chai, so beating a team with 1 or 2 goals indicates that the team that lost is still in the formative stage and not that it was a competitive match.
na wa den.

The guy say the team never form finish, some motnhs down the line when we played again what was the score line 1-1 meaning the team was better off and by the thrid meeting we won the CDR by a lone goal.

now that shows he knew what he was saying

Real Madrid faces Barcelona at the Camp Nou (19:50, Spanish TV channel C+ Liga and Gol T), for the match corresponding to the seventh match day of La Liga. The team has had five consecutive victories and Mourinho spoke about the match after the last training session before it: "For me it's a match more fitted to the evolution we hope for and which we hope to make constant. I'm not talking about results, but about organization, discipline, tactics, ambition, commitment, team play, good personalities... That is my concern. We're at the beginning and the concern is getting to the level we got to last season. We all knew it was difficult to maintain it for so many consecutive months. We have lost that level and we want to get it back bit by bit, which is what we are doing. This match is important in this regard and if we can come out with the conviction with which we have made this evolution constant, well that's even better".

The Real Madrid coach spoke about those who will be dropped from Barcelona's defence: "At Barcelona we have played without Pepe and the world hasn't come to an end. Last season, during Barcelona's La Liga match, Piqué was well and stayed on the bench. I can't be in the head of other coaches. Normally, I will only find out about our opponent's line up one hour beforehand and I have to give my team's before. I can't decide upon my team on the basis of the other one as I don't know who is going to play. We have our idea and our team ready to play. In matches like this one, as I metaphorically say, they are matches which bring the world to a standstill, where everybody plays. In the case of Puyol, I am happy that it's not as serious as it seemed. In the case of Piqué, if there is doubt it's very minimal, so if he's not fully recovered, he will be on the final leg of his recovery".

When asked about Real Madrid's starting eleven at the Camp Nou, Mourinho was clear: "Benzema and Higuaín are not going to be together. After having played so many times against Barcelona recently, I think it will be difficult for you to know the make-up of the team. I won't tell you who is going to play. I decided to go with Marcelo in the match against Ajax and I think it was a good decision because it meant a very good match. But each match is different and you will soon see who is going to play".

The Whites will travel on the same day as the match to Barcelona, a decision which Mourinho explained in the press room of Real Madrid Football City: "For recent matches we've been there for, we've travelled on the same day as the match. The team, as well as myself, like it that way. We have enough time despite the fact that the match is earlier this time. We get there, we rest a bit and in the evening we're ready to play. They are matches which are easy to be psychologically prepared for. No great pep talk is needed. In matches like this I would say it's enough to get there for the match, both teams being very prepared, and I think that the referees must be very motivated for a match like this one. The world comes to a standstill with this great match. The two teams and the referee are responsible for giving the world what it wants to see".

Regarding how these kinds of matches go and the team play, the Real Madrid coach assured: "There is no standard pattern. You never know what is going to happen. The teams are strong. Both want to win and they are normally well balanced matches, but on occasions they have been unbalanced. Our concern is playing well. We are making significant improvements. If we compare how we played during the first matches and how we have played the most recent La Liga matches, we can see that we have made improvements. This is our concern. To continue improving until we get to the level which made us champions last season and to stay there for as long as possible, playing at this top level".

Regarding whether a draw would be a good result for Madrid, Mourinho said: "It depends on the match. If you reach a high level and play very well, if you have lots of opportunities to score and you deserve to win, but you draw, then it's very bad. If you don't play well, you don't reach a high level and draw with amazing luck, it's a fantastic outcome. It depends on how the match pans out".

"Let us play the match first. Don't be so pessimistic or so optimistic. Let us play the match first", said the Portuguese coach in response to a question on what position the team would be in if they lose in Barcelona. In terms of the referees' role up until know in La Liga, he said: "Things have happened since the beginning of the season, but nobody at Real Madrid has said anything or made any comment on this, and it's not going to be me who does it".

He also pointed out that we has complete confidence in his squad: "I always place complete confidence in my players and I have just as much confidence in them when things are going well for us and also when I don't have such a good feeling. When we are working well and the feeling is positive, obviously there is more confidence. However, I have been in football for many years to know that each match has its own story and there are details which mark profound differences, but there is always complete confidence. The improvements are thanks to the players, who have realised that it was necessary to change, to be more motivated, more concentrated and more involved. It has been commendable to realise that the end of the season, in the dynamics that they were in, could only be negative. They have changed their mind-set and by changing it, it is easier for things to go our way".

Finally, when asked about Özil's substitution, Mourinho said: "I don't think it is time to create a drama when a player is on the bench. There are 13 players who don't play and every time somebody doesn't play, there is something made of it. I am paid to form the line up, I try to do it as well as possible and there are players who are left out, full stop. In Amsterdam I was also asked about Özil and it was the journalist himself who answered his own question".

davies123: And yet afta only 2yrs of his entrance to spain Pep ran away!Real Madrid wicked o!Kai they go bring mourhino to torment dis barca guys!

and hes ure is doing the tormenting with effective precision.
they seem to just get angry at any mention of Mourinho.

i cant seem to recon any incidence where fans of a team hates the coach of the rival club more than the rival club itself.

Mou is indeed SPECHIUL

davies123: Who is Pito or pinto,whatever is that guys name?

tito vilanova

ddippset: everyone would agree that the classicos have been very peaceful lately. why? very simple. madrid have started winning some. this tells us barca's level of tolerance and sportsmanship. back then when barca used to thrash madrid home and away madrid resorted to kicking and fighting. the madrid coach inclusive. their is peace now because madrid have started winning.

puhleeeazze, dont make it seem as if barca became so generous as to allow RM have some wins in some recent matches.
accepted it was el-thrashico in the first match(5-0 drubbing)
but as el-mister said Barca was a "finised product" while RM "is a team in the making".

and his words have come to pass - as always.

BTW every season we have achieve one form of victory over barca so dont make it seem as if una pity us.

YuckMouf: Madrid is a Joke Compilation of a Team. A Rubbish side assortment of Various Clown Like Individuals

millions wish they could achieve even half of what your so called clowns have achieved in life.

HATE 4d sake of HATE is worrying you.

sissa: Best of luck 4 real madrid.

thanks a lot.we need am very much.

Yahoo1: .......a full madrid first team can never beat a full barca first team convincinghly!.....

like the 1-0 win in mestalla in the CDR two seasons ago
or 1-2 win in camp nou in the liga last season
or the 2-1 win in bernabau in the supercopa this season

and in all three matches none was with a ragged FCB defence like now.
instead of just hoping as in HOPE na boast all of una dey boast again.

ddippset: pique is a 50-50. wish bartra will play sha. dont madrid players ever get injured?

they do but Sanita's seems to be performing very well this past years. no wonder a new contract has been signed wif them.

and RM has better team depth than barca.
to me I dont know why you guys refused to buy a defender in last market.
abi na Song una intened to convert to defender like mascherano?

then that answers my question.

Yahoo1: dnt be surprised if pique starts dat day

I have a gut feeling he will play at least the second half

ddippset: song and mascherano should do very well. dani alvez should be cautioned from going forward, let pedro advance on the right. that way barcelona wont be caught on counters. barca wins 1-0.

is pique not fit for the match?
I thought somebody on barca thread said he will play.

but wont batra be a better option, since he is regarded with high esteem as the next big defender for barca.

I wish it was barca midfield that was in absolute crisis not the defence.

barca has always never had a defence, but midfield? you know the answer.

I hope which ever plays amongst essien or modric will shut that engine room down. at least modric did great in the euros and essien is experienced in combat with the tripod from barca.

Hala madrid
hala madrid
hala madrid

ddippset: well then the sky's the limit for a janitor, putting in perspective that the end product of an ordinary translator's metamorphosis could be 'only one'.

I sha hope you are not aspiring to become a janitor ooooooo.
you being my deeeep pally i must ensure you do the right thingys to achieve success.

and what za hell is 'only one' i presume you were refering to 'the only one' which of course makes more sense to first time readers to this forum.

AjanleKoko: Chai.
Dayo is badly wounded here.

badly as in badly wounded

ddippset: he is tito vilanova. sorry you are a little behind time. the 'only one' doesn't refer to him as 'pito' anylonger. he only resorted to name calling and eye poking when he could hardly win a game against barcelona. now he has won a couple and the so he doesn't need to call him 'pito' anymore.

my bad then.

i thought it was one janitor in nou camp

logica: Yes o! A player of Messi's stature doesn't need that "na-me-score-am" attitude; he should leave it for C. Ronaldo. Hopefully C. Ronaldo will score 120 goals this season (100 from penalties), and his team will win NOTHING.

CR7 actually lifted a trophy in august after beating a catalan club by 2-1 in madrid.

ddippset: maybe the only one , when he decides to poke tito in the bvtt hole this time around.

who is pito or is it pinto?

AjanleKoko: Who knows who might get sent off on Sunday?

maybe messi due to his hitting villa with slap after attempting a shot on goal rather than pass to messi.

The point am trying to make here is
messi any day any time even when playing below "his own" par is seen as OKAY

but other footballers hitting anything lower than average results into so much criticisma on them.

nevertheless,
messi did great in the last match even though he didnt score.

ddippset: does your logic tell you that a player who scores a goal or two in a game definitely performed better than one who didnt score any? i do not understand your reasoning. it is only a great player like messi that could be man of a match even without scoring. but ronaldo, without a goal to his credit, he never makes man of the match. now do the math friend , what does this tell you?

the "hind sight" point you are missing(permit me to use your latest lingo) is that messi support rides on sentiment more than any other footballer have ever known.

he is a really great player the greatest ever seen from barcelonas history but the positive public perception really boost his image.

Denny it but your hind sight feeling knows that its true except your never really had any hind sight in the first place.

davies123: He has not scored period!What is assist is he supposed to fold his hand before and not do anything?He is been trying but he cant find a goal!When he is doing well say he is doing well,when he is not say he is not.Dont kill your self with sentiment,abi is he sharing his fat salary with you?

no he dont even know I exist talkless of sharing bonus with me.
but that doesnt say he is not doing well at all.
maybe based oin past precedence he is not at par but on comparism to others he is doing well.

ddippset: and 'messi got two assists last night!' is there really any need for your sarcasm? no, if i may say. you may praise ronaldo alright but you dont need to bring messi into it. and yes of course he got 5 goals against levercusen this year. its a record, it's history. the world hasn't forgotten. it was only a reminder. no be quarrel.

see your life now.

somebody said nobody is talking of messi.

I reminded the fellow that le-messiah provided 2 assists, so that he wont think messi didnt do nada and suddenly that is now sarcasm.

I said it with a pure intent. Not everybody hates for hating sake.

CR Bomba,

scored an hatrick.

seems Ajax is like so done a match for us.

Hala madrid.

p.s
wetin make marceloa dey jump when CR won score firts goal.
bloody clown

[quote author=Alaafia l‘oro]Cr7 scored 6 goals in 2 matches and for you to counter him you need to refer us back to the 5goals Messi scored in february(againt stuggart).. SMH 4 critics![/quote]bros no dey surprised at all.

na him way to misque facts and lies together.

ddippset: i just asked a very dvmb JS 3 student preparing for her js3 exams and guess what. surprisingly she was smart enough to know that a decade is definitely a span of 10 years but the 01's - 10's are only used for the sake of convenience. just convenience.

so an answer from a dumb JS 3 student explains better a question/answer compared to a brilliant SS3 student.

infact i give up.

now i know why you seem not to be able to "differenciate" between PAST & LAST.

and for your "con-ve-nieeeeence" next time inquire about things from S.M.A.R.T/ In-Tel-li-Gent/ Brilliant people and not dvmbass JS3 students.
and secondly Mr ddippset explain the questions better to the student.
