Lane

Im not your personal butler you fukking twat Like i dont have anything better to do than to write the chronicles of torres

its unfortunate that all his achievements at chelsea can fit in a 2 sentence post, while i can write a 1000 word essay about his failures

If people in the military could swap places with him theyd do it in an instant

EDIT: wrong thread

this is the only part of your post thats not utter nonsense but, i have to preface that by saying i stopped reading after 'jozy altidore'

yes, but teams know we have to sell one of them

at 22 fabregas was arguably the best midfielder in the league. He was ripping teams to shreds. Oscar is not only miles off that level right now, but he will never ever reach it

ah its that gem of an argument, if you dont like a player i like then you know fuk all about football the only thing left for me is to raise my hand and admit i have been bested lol hers what i got after a couple of seconds of searching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqgA14k-aC8

Meanwhile, Cesc is done because he didnt manage to claim a regular starting spot

What the f**k did Oscar do to deserve to be exempt from criticism like this?! Literally every Chelsea player, apart from maybe Hazard, was under heavy scrutiny last season but dare say Oscar might not be good enough and suddenly youre talking bollocks. I think hes a great kid, and has a great attitude and I dont like talking in such way about him but honestly, who the f**k is Oscar that he cannot be questioned?! So he started for Brazil. The same Brazil side who, in the aftermath, are too embarrassed to show their faces in public. Who were humiliated like never before. Not only that, he was one of their worse performers. And the last sentence is just ridiculous. By your account, we should be resting on our laurels and being bloody ecstatic about everything Chelsea because hey, we were relegated back in the 70s. You cant get more smalltime than that. No wonder Utd and Liverpool fans look down on us.

how many?

I love it how people were saying we dont provide through balls for our strikers, and that Costa will struggle because of it like Torres. Turns out, our striker actually has to make those runs . . . funnily enough.

fukc off ref, ake won it cleanly what to these refs have against ake? a lot of his good challenges have been ruled a foul

you can make a 20 minute compilation of his blunders that directly lead to goals

why does this thread have 5 pages? the rumour was completely unsubstantiated

Theres no 'losing your man' with parking the bus. Theres no space behind the defence to run into, and its basically zonal marking. Thats why weaker sides use that tactic. Youre implying that defending when parking the bus is harder, which is, frankly, ridiculous.

as someone whos had his fair share of dislocations and ligament tears i can tell you thats not true. Hell, ive had severe bruising last for a couple of months

City will win it. Theyre stacked all over the field. Maybe a bit suspect gk but stil good enough to win it

I dont see why it would be too early. A simple X-ray/mri scan should be enough for some kind of estimate

I disagree. I think Costas main strength is his never say die attitude. He will miss 3 sitters in a match and then score in the 88th. Whether he hits the ground running or not, wont have an affect on his overall contribution come may. Just my opinion

Looks like those FFP restrictions really crippled Citys spending power . . .

oscar will be getting excuses till the day he retires hes concentrating on the world cup, he just had a baby, he has torres in front of him, hes played too many matches . . .

yeah, take out hazard and our play is much more quicker and creative

Why do people give this much importance to some 'exotic' formations Jose has been trying out in these friendlies? The formations will be a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1. Its natural to expect that at times we will have to desperately chase the score and will be playing with 2, 3 strikers on the field. Likewise, sometimes we will have to defend the lead so we will set up with 5 at the back. Jose just wants our players to experience these formations in a proper game, not just on the training pitch.
