Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [17th - 22nd April 2015]

Hazard a lot more consistent than Aguero, both unplayable on their day mind. I'd give it to Hazard for this season.

 

[Frankiemac]

Hes not

This year easily better. Also not seen him try to stamp on players despite the kicking he gets at times .... unlike Aguero has.

 

[nemtizz]

Ok this season, I concede, but jesus christ imagine Aguero in that Chelsea team.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Aguero>Hazard dont even think it's that close between them.

injured and/or asleep

 

[nemtizz]

injured?

Unlike all of their other healthy strikers, he's fit.

 

[cm1179]

Terrible from Januaz or however you spell it.

last year united fans were spelling it 'thenewbale'. not so much this year

 

[Nate75]

look Chelsea have deserved their Championship.

Fair play

 

[Raymond Lin]

Didn't watch the game but just saw the stats, United had 70% possession away at Chelsea?

Chelsea knew exactly what they were doing

 

[Raymond Lin]

So? It's bordering on meaningless. A team can choose to try and dominate possession through to choosing to give it up, and everything in between.

Teams would let Moyes era Manyoo have a load of possession as the build up play was so slow and easy to defend against it was fairly sensible.

The point was I'm surprise Chelsea, who blew teams away for fun this season, with the midfielders that they have, playing at home, play like they are away.

 

[Purdy]

Are you new?

 

[Raymond Lin]

Chelsea knew exactly what they were doing

Yes, I know he knows what he's doing and it worked, but I'm still surprise at the tactic when playing at home, with that squad.

I understand if it's Barcelona, but it's a Manchester United side with 4 key injuries.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Are you new?

No.

Next question.

Mourinho basically said that he didn't care how little possession they had, and he meant it. You must have watched Chelsea before

Yes, I know he knows what he's doing and it worked, but I'm still surprise at the tactic when playing at home, with that squad.

I understand if it's Barcelona, but it's a Manchester United side with 4 key injuries.

United have been on fire recently, putting away chances. When Ashley Young is 'in form', you know United are dangerous...

It's a Manchester United side that put away the champions with ease last week.

 

[Raymond Lin]

And it's still no Barcelona with 4 key injuries and Chelsea isn't exactly in bad form with a weak midfield.

In his own words, playing football from the 1900's.

 

[Purdy]

No.

Next question.

How could you possibly be surprised?

 

[Caseh]

Chelsea really are terrible to watch, but I'm going to guess that their fans enjoy every game.

 

[nemtizz]

No.

Next question.

What you doing tonight?

 

[Doohickey]

Yes, I know he knows what he's doing and it worked, but I'm still surprise at the tactic when playing at home, with that squad.

I'm still not seeing your point- they should only play like that against Barcelona?

It was a good display of dealing with pressure and holding fort. Talk about a spine of a team, Courtois, Terry, Cahill, Matic, Zouma/Ramires/Mikel. United had 2 shots on target. It's just a classic Mourinho performance. Yes they could have kept the ball better, but no surprises really.
