I cant even remember what CFC said yesterday let alone 6 months ago!
FFP
Away fan allocation
Camp stuff he’s into
Chelsea having the best players in the world

That’s pretty much it, yesterday, 6 months ago or 3 years ago.
 
Cescy continued his rich form from the first leg.
He added more assists in the second leg and made his team win again.
Finally he got some end product that he contributed to his team, in other games he was just dragging us down.. FFS!!

Starting Cescy twice in 3 days is blasphemous, sacrilege etc etc. Worse than benching Messi or Kante!! So Tony is efficiently using his sack card. Pardew has nothing on Tony!!


Kenedy is having an impressive season yet we will struggle with Alonso forever in our Defense!!

Pound for pound Thibo is the most disinterested keeper out there. I have been on his case forever.
Alonso & Fab don't have engine or legs to play against bigger teams, what excuse Thibo has <doh>?
Worst professional.

Conte out!!

standard response. Blame same 2-3 players and finish with Conte out. Can we check Stan is not a Spam bot?!!?

He is quite tedious in his comments. I do agree that Cesc should be used more sparingly though, as his legs aren;t there anymore. The biggest concern for me is Courtois, and it has been for quite a while now.
 
Willian played really well .just wish he would release a bit earlier. He does so much good until the final ball/decision making (maybe I'm being harsh).

As for Alonso not necessarily this game. He did play well and he looked dangerous .his free kicks are great but he's partly at fault for the first, maybe he could have done better but I think it was more the wastefulness when he got into good crossing positions time and and again (also his dive when through on goal when he could have smacked it).

He does have legs though constantly up and down
I reckon both of them , and Hazard, suffer from the lack of other players who anticipate and join their attacks. Be it a midfielder or striker going missing, too often our attacks are a single player run with no end result because no one joined in. Simply a lack of balance and cohesion. We both say the same thing in different ways, but always it comes down to the strikers and midfield, sometimes a wing back, sometimes a defender who passes us into trouble because they can't play the ball out.
 
Predictable outcome in Barca esp as we were up against the mercurial talents of Messi and we’re not quite the resilient class of 2012; another day we might’ve got the rub of the green but luck seems to have deserted this team for most of this season. Next up Leicester - we need to be up for that or we’ll be left with chasing Spuds n Scousers for a top 4 place before we can go to the drawing board and chart a new course for the next campaign.
