Chelsea

That's clearly because no one in the Chelsea team can pass.

[antonnn]

Lampard can, I mean he's no Xavi but he's more than able to through ball and pass rather well. Maybe in his old age he's lost the through ball ability, I don't know. Meireles can pass well too, his assist for Sturridge was pretty good, but Torres wasn't on until the last 15 minutes and I think Meireles was taken off by that stage as well as Mata. Wondering if Torres will be restored to the lineup for the game against United.

Torres works better in midfeld.

Torres works better in midfeld.

He's the new Eidur Gudjohnsen!

HAHA..Thats just Brilliant. I love his ever-passionate celebrations/gestures on the sidelines. Unai Emery has competition.

He's too classy and likeable to be managing in the EPL. For his age (and he's only a year older than Lampard), he comes across mature and level-headed in all his interviews. He has a sense of humour too.

On being asked if he would call himself the Special One:

"People think that I'm the next one, and i'm not the next one. I'm a normal coach who benefits from having top players. One day i'll be in a team which i won't benefit from having this kind of talent and I'm a shit one"

Despite the long association, he didn't allow the Mou factor corrupt him.

haha amazing

[antonnn]

A lot of people were saying crap like the players wouldn't respect them cause he's close to their age blah blah, but I think the opposite has happened, cause he's close to their age he can relate to them better and on top of that he knows his shit so they can't doubt him. I'm real glad we got him and I hope he stays for a long time, cause I have no doubts he'll bring us success in the end.

Anelka wants to leave, oh woe is me! He was good for a while, but he's past his use by date now. He'll be off to the US or Qatar or something for a massive payday.

How are chelsea defenders playing this season?there were lots of hype about their January signing david luiz.is he playing regular as CB?

[antonnn]

Not too bad, we've conceded 3 goals but so have United and City I believe. Luiz was injured at the start of the season so he only made his first appearance in the CL this week, whether or not he plays tonight I don't know. Ashley Cole has been on fire, Bosingwa is okay but I do think Ivanovic will eventually take his spot as RB and probably Luiz will partner Terry. I just hope big Dave can cut out his lapses in concentration and getting caught out of position problems this season.

[coolasif]

Last season luiz struggled little bit since his arrival in january and it really takes time to settle down in a new league.He will come good this season.

[antonnn]

He was good for most of the games he played, but he messed up in the CL against United(or maybe it was the league encounter at OT) and was made a scapegoat and dropped for the rest of the season. Unfair, given he was good for virtually every other game, nasty tackle here and there aside!
