Hazard at BEST was a 7/10 - Costa the same. Many players not turning up at all which is very sad. Pretty sure Chelsea taking drawing to Stoke etc and beat Spurs and lacked fight. Luiz another had his worst game since he returned. Matic starts over Cesc so we can be more defensive and he just idled by on so many attacks down the left, letting Eriksen cross for free T_T Eurgh, horrible way to lose tonight as we played in 3rd gear for it all. If he started Cesc instead of Matic we might have had way more joy and gone from there. | ||

edit: i just watched the highlights, the two Alli's goals were very similar in terms of setup. Was Chelsea's defense that poor against long ball in general or just this match? | ||

Both goals alli was found between Dave and moses. Not sure if genius game plan by poch or just lapse in concentration. Unhappy that batman only came on at 85 min. | ||

It was honestly a harmless post. Unless you know something the rest of the world doesn't about how the source is lying, you should probably stop overreacting to people trying to shoot the shit on a fucking gaming forum. try not being an annoying prick? oh and the article: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/pep-guardiola-manchester-city-news-latest-villarreal-lu-martin-a7507701.html tell me how I should feel about something I've read | ||

I feel like you shouldnt say Guardiola is complaining. Because you cannot verify this, which makes it a almost as ambiguous as a lie. Lieing is bad. Hiding behind "shooting the shit" is also not a good excuse for lying. I would humbly suggest that you not lie and I will not be an annoying prick. "Man I dont get why Zulu insults people, its not like the guy calling him out was wrong." I read about it it in the notepad I just opened. + Show Spoiler + ![]() Also lol.. Ive read the articles related to that the interview that the "confidante" had. That article is totally right. Which is why Guardiola has never said those things publicly. He is taking that comment at face value though. twenty first century Journalism 101 ftw. Maybe he did say it to someone personally, maybe he didnt, but you shouldnt just throw out things without caveats when you dont know they are true. Again lying is bad. Defending it is worse. anddd aaaaagain please dont be mad at me for your own lazy post. After all "im just shooting the shit to, but responsibly" I guess its sorta like drinking eh ![]() No good has ever come from public displays of stupidity on the internet, even if it is "harmless." I guess this will be a good lesson. + Show Spoiler + I'll admit at some point I was just trying to wind you up, but all you had to be like was.. "you know what, I guess he didnt say that. But I dont get why he would feel that way if he does and that article is true." but I guess thats hard. | ||

You're seriously accusing me of lying because I didn't add "a source close to Pep Guardioloa said" to "Pep Guardiola complained?" You're way too dumb and taking this way too seriously. | ||

Though you gotta give it to Poch and the Spurs boys, even during the previous meeting, Tot was in my opinion the better team but Chelsea was too clinical with their counter attacks. edit: i just watched the highlights, the two Alli's goals were very similar in terms of setup. Was Chelsea's defense that poor against long ball in general or just this match? Yeh like Duck said, he was between Dave and Moses the whole time, if that was between Ivanovic and Dave he doesn't score any of them. Moses isn't good enough defensively to sniff out that danger quick enough and Dave is a bit to small when vs a bigger player on the cover. We played way better this game than the one at the Bridge and lost. We kept the ball way better (had more possession) had more shots and yet we still played a 6/10 so i don't have to many complaints it just annoying. Matic was so poor again we really need to either learn to play Cesc and Kante in the bigger games or find a replacement for Matic in this system as his passing is not good enough at all. Pedro at left wing back actually was interesting too haha. Hope we can dust ourselves off quickly and go again, our next games include Leicester Liverpool and Arsenal. Ending the run with Yanited away so we have quite a few games where we need make sure we are at it. | ||

You're way too dumb and taking this way too seriously. No, im not accusing you of lying, Im explaining to you the absurdity of your jump in logic, "well since Guardiolas, confidante said, I dont get why Guardiola's complaining..." Clearly the lesson didnt go through. Also calling me a dumb prick (if were to combine your insults) while "shooting the shit" doesnt mean you've got much going for you anymore. At this point since you are just responding to just the first part you read and makes you mad so I will let you go. Lost cause. Must be a United fan. Speaking of United. My poor Ibras honor getting sullied by shit team. + Show Spoiler + bait On January 05 2017 17:43 Pandemona wrote: Yeh like Duck said, he was between Dave and Moses the whole time, if that was between Ivanovic and Dave he doesn't score any of them.

Other teams are dropping to many points as it is and I expect Chelsea to coast for the rest of the season for the most part. The foundation thats been setup in the squad now is to strong for them to drop many points against teams they should be easily beating. I totally see this happening to. I think Spurs is an unfavourable matchup. Liverpool should be an interesting game, Arsenal you will beat probably for no other reason than, its round about the time they start imploding their season. | ||

Real Madrid vs Granada at the moment. Granada have 9 players starting who are on loan! 2-0 down after 20 minutes. 3-0 Ronaldo 4-0 Isco x2 | ||

Props to them though cause if you want to achieve something in a season, you have to be able to do shit like that. United won comfortably yesterday against a Championship team, though I'd trade 3 out of 4 goals for Rojo's injury to be a minor one. We're running out of central back soon enough with Bailly away for CAN. | ||

Dave - Luiz - Ake Is how i would think he would play if he started him which is fine i guess, he is better on the ball than Cahill for sure, but he has alot more positioning and awareness to learn still. | ||

This is quite interesting to say the least, i mean im all for Batman getting game time but a swap deal for Llorente who is 31 seems strange to me. He would be for cover of course but surely playing the younger batman is a better idea. Oh well, Conte knows best for sure ![]() | ||
