news from eurosport says we may offer ba in part exchange for yilmaz. Ed002 do you know if there's any truth in this. Are Chelsea still interested in yilmaz? thanks in advance {Ed002's Note - It'll be someone else tomorrow.}

Would like to see edd001 thoughts on the team since changing formation if he's about. I didn't see this run of wins coming after the Liverpool / arsenal games.

eddmc

{Ed001's Note - it was the formation we pretty much all expected Conte to look to play, so it was not a surprise. I am not totally convinced by it, personally, both Spurs and City cut you apart at will, just were not clinical enough in front of goal. Defensively you are suspect, you can't rely on refs missing blatant block offs by Luiz and terrible finishing by the opponents every week. There is a lot of work to be done still. Going forward you look decent, but it is difficult to be sure from today, as Citeh are dog turd defensively, with not one decent defender at the club.

I have to say, Moses, in particular, is going to cost you goals at some point, if you do not work on him. His ball watching is terrible, and he can't keep relying on pace to get back in to clear the ball away. He needs to be positioning himself better to make easy clearances with no drama instead.

Overall though, the formation suits your team, though it is heavily reliant on Costa. You need to keep your fingers crossed the injury is not too bad.}

We will win the league ed, I was not sure before but it's simple we have the best players, and by far the best humble, fighting, manager of the lot, I'll put money on it with you or anyone else, we will beat any false chalanges!,


2.) 03 Dec 2016 16:09:13
Cheers for the reply mate. Agree we got lucky today at times but took advantage of the luck. Think teams are starting to work out how to play against us but we missed matic today. Supporting Chelsea is starting to be fun again. Onwards and upwards.

{Ed001's Note - you do look a lot better with Matic alongside Kante, he was badly missed.}


3.) 03 Dec 2016 16:50:07
What if Zouma is back andour3 at the back is Zouma RH Luiz and Azpi LH. That should be a good move for us?


4.) 03 Dec 2016 17:00:46
Disagree on your assessment of that "block off" from Luiz on Aguero though, Ed. There was minimal contact and Aguero went down like he was shot. Never a foul for me.
I agree that we looked very open. Alonso had trouble with Navas' pace, and the midfield couldn't control the tempo. I think we'd have been much more solid if Matic was in there.

All in all, great victory. Aguero is a prick, it was an absolute assault on Luiz. Love Chalobah running over and defending his team though! He was having none of Aguero's ridiculous action, didn't matter that Aguero's a world class player. He just stood up for his boyhood team. Loved it!

{Ed001's Note - it was a foul all day long, but he did make the most of it, I agree. It was a clear foul though. Aguero's assault on Luiz was vile. He deserves a lengthy ban for that legbreaker.}


5.) 03 Dec 2016 18:59:59
Did you see Moses' sensational block on Aguero. Cahill and Alonso are the main weak links for me but definitely not Moses. Thought Luiz was excellent and has been since his return, you must be part of the Luiz scapegoat team to think that. Aguero went looking for that foul and I'm glad Anthony Taylor wasn't blinded by it.


6.) 03 Dec 2016 21:30:55
You think it'll be longer than the standard 4 match ban for Aguero (4 since it's his 2nd red this season)?


7.) 04 Dec 2016 00:50:39
I doubt he'll get a longer ban. I have a feeling Fabregas might get a ban as well, footage showed him slapping Fernandinho, which was what triggered his angry outburst.


8.) 04 Dec 2016 08:16:51
Ed001 I'd love to see your assessment of all the title protagonists. It would make a good article.

{Ed001's Note - ok mate I will put something together over the next few days.}

Lets give oscar one more season before we decide to sell. Correct me if i'm wrong but hasn't he played tournament football for the last 4 summers? At 23 that would take its toll and might be a reason for his poor form 2nd half of seasons. A full summer break will be good for the lad

eddmc

{Ed018's Note - well Copa America is this summer and I'd think he will be in the Brazil squad so he won't have this summer off}


1.) 24 Mar 2015 00:27:48
I doubt he would play that much for Brazil based on recent performances, coutinho & others would be first choice, Jose must see something we don't


2.) 24 Mar 2015 08:38:36
The Brazil squad is a weird one, the team seems to be picked on who the fans like the most instead of people who are actually doing really well like coutinho. So don't be surprised to see oscar start every game at copa America


3.) 24 Mar 2015 11:01:08
I think that what you say is partially true, NWBLUE. However I really think that the coach can't overlook Coutinho anymore. He's been playing very well this year and Oscar hasn't. I'm guessing Oscar will see less game time this summer.


4.) 24 Mar 2015 11:50:20
I saw it mentioned on Twitter and agreed. if you could merge Oscar (1st half of the seaon) and Coutinho (2nd half of the season), you'd have the ideal player!

Oscar is by no means a poor player; first half of the season he was one of our key performers. His role allowed Fabregas and Matic to tick and no-one is better at pressing from the front - in that regard, he helps Diego Costa out too.

I do think that he could benefit from a long rest. he's also become a Father, maybe that's impacting him too?

To be honest, all our midfielders (Matic, Ramires, Oscar, Fabregas) look knackered!


5.) 24 Mar 2015 12:35:23
You're right, all our midfielders seem to be tired and not performing up to the standard they are capable of. No doubt that's part of the reason why the team hasn't been clicking.
And that's also why it'd perhaps be wise to get in another very good centre mid. Sell Ramires and perhaps Mikel, buy a world class (or near world class) centre mid and give the other spot to Ake or RLC or Chalobah for example. That way, our primary options could be rotated without a dramatic drop in quality so they can stay fresh throughout the season. And if a youth player could be the 4th option then he'd see enough time on the pitch to develop properly. Either Pogba or Koke would be nicely in this scenario :)


6.) 24 Mar 2015 11:44:21
Good point ed, itll be up to the club to manage the player over the year. I really think with a proper rest we could see his top form for a whole season and not just up to christmas. Coutinho been playing well but his stats aren't that good. Think ivanovic has the same amount of goals and assists this season

just a question about the world cup prediction competition. knock out rounds 90 minute results or include extra time?

eddmc

{Ed002's Note - No idea. Try the WC page.}


1.) Includes extra time

Only ever seen him play in their game against Chelsea, could he be converted to a wing back? Just a thought

This guy's obviously trying to annoy the eds and stop them posting. There's one every transfer window.

Cahill confidence is gone. One mistake and his head drops.

Why would Chelsea care what bayern do in a competition they're not in and never will be? Bayerns lack of competition in the league hampers them in the latter stages of the champions league IMO. The reason they've been so good over the last few years is because of the challenge of B.Dortmund
