True. But those players are products of our expensive world class academy.
Totally agree, but the way he just launched into him for 5 minutes, keane and micah richards luckily went against everything he said. The fact he actually said it was werners fault for allowing their keeper to take him out, and that he should of done the matrix and swerved him really made me laugh. The anti chelsea bias by a lot of referees is bad enough, but not having enough representation in the media means a lot of it gets swept under the rug.
I know what you mean, albeit most of that list are not the kids that have been expensively scouted in Europe and South America. A high percentage are local lads and have been with us since Chelsea under 9s !
Not upset by any means, but these broadcasters provide a lot of revenue for the EPL. And the lack of coverage we as a club have been getting for years when we've been one of the top teams in England is just ridiculous. We and City get minimal protection, but at least City have Micah Richards there now, who do we get there? Joe Cole occasionally who's biased for us but that's it really. Ruud supports us but he's usually very harsh with us.
Souness is a bellend Salah and Mane fall over at the slightest touch like they have been shot
But he said absolutely nothing about Salah going down like this? Even though Werner was at full speed and the keeper clearly knocked him down. How the f**k is it Werners fault if his knee goes in the keepers face? That's how he's dived in, what a clown.
In hindsight it's easy to say we were being over the top. But just after you get a goal and he goes and does something like that early in the 2nd half... Especially with how little many of us on here rate Rudiger and don't really fancy him in the side.
I think there is a clear difference from defending poorly and making this random mistake of an own goal. He wasn't scoring own goals last season...
He's so uncomfortable on the ball it's unbelievable he's a footballer at all. You can see it in the own goal, he had a chance to boot it first time facing up the pitch, but he didn't trust himself to make clean contact, he's not very good at timing his kicks right, so he had to take the only other option, to go backwards. If we are ever going to bridge the gap to city we need ball players at the back like Tiago, comfortable on the ball and not scared of it.
