He looked tired and uninterested this game. He had a couple decent chances but either did nothing with the ball or shoot straight at Cesar.
He needs a rest, that much is certain.
Torres either needs a rest or to be sold. We shall see with Ba coming in.
Woeful performances from most of the players, Torres especially. Mata and Hazard should have started...
...God dammit.
Sign him up!
Sounds like bullshit. *thesun* yep, definitely bullshit
For every cracking 4-3 game, you get a boring 1-0 game. That being said, Norwich put up a great fight and they came close to scoring a couple times. It's clear Chelsea need to sharpen their finishing. Plenty of chances were made but only one was slotted in.
I understand why he would bench some of his more arrogant players, but why in the world would he bench Casillas? I really wonder what is going on in the locker room in Madrid...
I think Lamp's goal broke the camel's back. Villa were 4-0 down by that point so they just packed up shop and left.
A betting man wouldn't bet on Chelsea winning the title. That being said, this is the premier league and anything can happen. Man City will probably go through a slump in form due to the African cup of nations. Odds are United might hit a small slump sometime in the coming months too. We've already seen a Chelsea slump (the entire month of november), so hopefully they don't hit another one. If rumors are true, they'll be bringing some serious reinforcements this transfer ...
Well...comprehensive to say the least lol
Morale Booster for sure.
If they're not going to play him, at least loan him out...
Why did they even buy him if they're just going to let him rot on the bench?
Saw this comment posted online, and I completely agree with it.
"What i learned is that Chelsea should stay away from European and International tournaments until we get our team straight.
So far we have failed to outplay a top team in months. i think years. Before our Champions league triumph I knew Barcelona , Bayern , Real Madrid fans who would probably be nervous facing a team with the likes of Drogba , Terry , Lampard , Anelka , now they just laugh ...
Didn't see the game, but I keep hearing the team didn't care. Also, why was Cahill straight red carded? I see people complaining about that, but seeing as I have no idea what happened, I can't judge.
Well Arsenal did get Podolski, Carzola, and Giroud this past transfer window...
I agree with everything you said except for him being talent-less. He has talent, he's just wasting it it with his arrogance and stupidity.
Did Mancini really say Balotelli could be as good as Messi? If he did, that's exactly the kind of thing that only fuels Balotelli's arrogance...
I'm curious to know which two you're thinking of. I'm also thinking of two.
"Reports are surfacing that $amir Na$ri is still at the Etihad Stadium collecting the coins that are on the pitch."
Why the hell would they do that? I understand they're pissed off they lost, but throwing stuff at the players?! Some fans as far as to blame Ferdinand for taunting. Yes, he shouldn't have done that, but that doesn't excuse what some of the fans did.
Van Persie scores from a Nasri assist! ...wait a minute, when did we go back to 2010?
Anyways, great game. United deserve the win. Young was called offside even though he was onside. I was looking at the stats though and De Gea made 10x the saves as Hart. De Gea getting better and better.
...valdes? Swap Valdes for Hart and i'd agree.
Well, this is great news! Torres can be on the bench now for the next few games. Torres will get a rest and Ba will have more time to get adjusted to his new team. Win-win.
