Wow, I though he was anything but anonymous.Fernandinho, slightly anonymous,
No complaints here, we were/are dog shit, City tore us apart.
10 home defeats with still two games to go v the top two, possibly 12 home defeats only a year after being League Champions, shocking & self inflicted.
They'd never sell Hazard to us, but there again I never thought they'd sell Mata to ManUre and Ramirez to anyone so hope spring eternal. Just imagine our team now if we'd managed to get Hazard and Sanchez. With another top striker we'd be unstoppable.Quite rightly so.
And now City should get in on Hazard too. He's going to be a bargain after this sh** season of his, and he'll be an absolute masterpiece in City's style of play, and definitely when properly managed by the likes of Pep. People dissing him a lot now, but don't forget what a class player he truely is, best touch in the game. It's no accident that he won YPOYT twice in France and once in the Prem and 1x POTY both in France and England ... and he's still only 25. Get in!
Amen to that!They'd never sell Hazard to us, but there again I never thought they'd sell Mata to ManUre and Ramirez to anyone so hope spring eternal. Just imagine our team now if we'd managed to get Hazard and Sanchez. With another top striker we'd be unstoppable.
I believe he blocked a few Samaritans who tried to make it onto the pitch for streaking!Whilst you've got your stats out can you tell me how many pass interceptions, tackles, and blocks Jesus got in in the PSG game.
brilliantYour right, we would be thrown out for fielding an illegal player.
You are clearly not an adept of Cruyff's totaalvoetbal ;-)Goalkeepers prevent goals. Defenders defend. Midfielders control the ball. Forward scores goal. Wingers deliver crosses.
We actually had Fernando, Fernandinho & Yaya on for the LC final; yes Yaya was deeper but Dinho helped out in midfield significantly. This wasn't a "weaker" Chelsea CM pairing IMO, it's their usual one of late - difference being Mourinho stuck Ramires in there & made it a 3 which caused the problems last few seasons. Like I said it's about being tactical & depends on opposition/how they've set up.in fairness, Yaya has been decent for some time now. Whether it was vs an energetic Liverpool midfield at the League Cup final or against a 'weaker' Chelsea team on saturday, he's done well. If he had played vs PSG and we won, people would highlight the absence of Veratti, Matuidi and Motta (to a lesser extent), as reasons why he coped. It's all about opinions as we all can't agree on issues.
Quite rightly so.
