    Will van gaal go with Rooney up front with Martial out wide again for tomorrow's game? If Rooney doesn't perform tomorrow he has to be dropped for a while, just not performing at the moment.

    The music is awful, but the video editing redeems it

    Outwide for me, he's got the beating of zabeleta imo

    Team tomorrow in my opinion....

    De Gea
    Darmian--Smaling--Jones--Rojo
    ---Schneiderlin--Bastian---
    Mata----Herrera----Martial
    Rooney

    I agree. Darmian and Mata on the right hand side is what we were missing against CSKA. Lingard was drifting all around the place and Valencia was, well just being Valencia if you know what I mean :p

    You mean Valencia that set up our goal and was a continual threat down our right hand side? The level of hate for Tony V on here is ludicrous.

    Totally agree. I don't think he is nearly as bad as is made out.
    Nor do I think that Darmian is as good as some would make you believe.

    If Rooney was going to be dropped for poor form, he'd have been dropped a few games ago :/

    He did well to get the assist in the last game, but thats nowhere near enough to get his spot back from Darmian. One assist doesn't negate a load of poor games.

    Valencia can't defend much and has lost the ability to get in any kind of cross. He gets into position and then blasts it off the defender's leg nine times out of ten, it's a joke at this stage.

    Darmian looks a proper defender which is the first thing you look for in a RB, his timing of the tackle is top class and he is decent enough going forward. Yes he has made some mistakes but it is absolutely no contest who the better RB is.

    Football really would be dead if everyone thought like that.

    Very true indeed and it was a very hyperbolic line that I came out with. It didn't turn out too be a bad game in the end,just a pity about the result.

    Fully agree with the Valencia part. He is a useful squad player who runs and runs. But he is as creative as a rock. He reminds me of the horse chess piece. Down the wing and cross. Repeat. Far to predictable.

    I never said he should replace Darmian. I just said Tony V gets a ridiculous amount of stick. IMO Darmian has been one of best players this season. An amazing piece of business done by LVG, his team and Woodward.

    Chelsea's cracking up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,349 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Chelsea are a great laugh this season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,790 ✭✭✭Bret Hart


    Chelsea's cracking up.

    Jose is not the special one anymore.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,110 ✭✭✭Unearthly


    I said it before, but West Ham are legends this season.

    Mhourihnio off now too lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,792 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Chelseas fall is somewhat hilarious... still a great team with some serious world class talent but the lack of disipline and composure by Mourinho is obviously filtering on to the pitch..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,661 ✭✭✭Fuhrer


    I wonder how Pedro feels about his decision now.

    Not sure it was his decision - LVG decided to end the pursuit and Chelsea jumped in by my understanding. I think both Pedro and Chelsea would have expected more from each other though.

    Just to play devil's advocate, would people still have preferred Jose over Moyes?

    Personally, when SAF left I felt Jose was the one for the job. It was the biggest job in the footballing world and Mourinho looked likely to be the man to fill the hole. I was disappointed with Moyes (and relieved when he was let go), but looking at Jose's "third season syndrom" happening all over again, I'm somewhat relieved that he didn't replace SAF.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,310 ✭✭✭madcabbage


    As much as Jose has the experience, the man shows no composure under pressure. I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if he walked away from Chelsea with the way they're going. So no, Moyes was the right decision back then.

    Said it at the time that I really hoped Jose didn't get the job. Even if he wasn't a rivals ex manager I would have found it hard to support him given his personality (or persona maybe). All this season has done is cemented that feeling and made me happy that it's now very unlikely he'll ever manage my teamteam.

    Glad im not the only one that thinks he cant handle pressure very well. The media would have you believe he just does it to take the attention from his team but when the going gets hard he just throws tantrums and thats it.
