 Trizen stopped playing after like week 8 when he found out no prizes were given lolol. Also indeed Twisted, u play Aguero with either Dzeko Negredo or Jovetic, but im sat as a Chelsea fan thinking fml what i wouldn't give for a Dzeko Negredo or Jovetic as our main striker lol. Im sure Arsenal the same xD | ||

Sry but calling Badstuber horrible just shows you know nothing about football. Neither Bayern defense was particularly outstanding at the time though. Badstuber is a great player, but I do have my doubts if he would have made the Chelsea or Inter squad they lost against. | ||

Stuff about team cohesion while defending etc. Basically the key figure of Bayern 11/12 was Schweinsteiger, and the key transfer after that season was Martinez, not Dante. I don't understand why so many people rate Özil so highly tho. He can decide games with one genius moment and is generally extremely talented, but he is so unstable and useless way too often for an outstanding player imo. Basically like Podolski, just a tier better. | ||

Thats why i rate Ozil high, not because he makes the killer pass once in a while, but that he starts off the attack which leads to the goal on counters etc xD | ||

Basically like Podolski, just a tier better. I don't disagree, I was arguing about Badstuber in particular. About Özil, I think the key feature to him apart from his splitting passes is exactly what Pandemona said. He makes the midfield tick simply with his ability to find passes quickly and accurately. I think he has had a couple of poor matches, but he usually is at the start of a lot of attacking moves. His stamina however is downright awful, which prevents him from reaching a higher level. | ||

Also City and Yaya, this is what i mean. Look at the time Nasri gets to have on the ball now thanks to that pass which takes out 2 players xD Oh doesn't show long enough afterwards, but Nasri then had about 4 seconds on the ball to do whatever he wanted! | ||

Exactly that is a a skillset where I wouldn't even rate Özil as the lone number 1 in Germany anymore tho, which is my point. | ||

The more i read into things the more i think Mata is going to be sold in the Summer unless he really does turn his game into the high press high energetic performance that Mourinho requires. Just read another report by unreliable sources at best though, that Mata wants to stay and will never leave Chelsea unless Chelsea say he is not needed. What i hope is that when he got taken off vs Southampton it only spurs him on to do things better or at least do things the Mourinho way xD I also think this might be another Mourinho vs Casillas moment xD | ||

I really hope it gets resolved with Mata staying with us!!!! If he goes somewhere else in the prem it's going to hurt like a mother. | ||

None of them want to be a winger anymore or a striker. It's all no 10 no 10 no 10. Everyone before long is going to be sat with a Chelsea squad of awesome no10s and no one else xD The more i read into things the more i think Mata is going to be sold in the Summer unless he really does turn his game into the high press high energetic performance that Mourinho requires.

In about 10 years we will have tons of false nines I reckon. | ||

No doubt Mata is awesome going forward and passing, but Mourinho wants all 11 players to defend together, 1 person slips up and the team is unbalanced. That is why he thinks Mata is a luxury and not a necessity. However lots of people disagree, some Chelsea fans and other sports journalists and whatever. I think Mata Oscar Hazard are the 3 best players to play behind the striker we have and should play together most of the time. However i also concede that Willian is now playing awesome as well with as much commitment to the defensive side of the game as Oscar as well as a great shot and awesome turn of pace. Another person Mata has to compete with to play. xD But like sc4k says, Mata in the champions league final covered more ground on the pitch than any other Chelsea player. (All be it Ramires was suspended, but still shows he gets about) What might happen is that come the Summer after the World Cup a team like PSG or Barca even might throw some money at Chelsea and if all this is true about what Mourinho thinks he will tell the club to accept the money. Be a good player for Barca though xD Help replace Xavi and such | ||
