Bluewolf 6,291 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I can see this being tough.. this will test our defensive strength and no mistake. If we get a draw I will be happy but can see a loss for us in this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 4,907 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) Tempted to save Cesc for City as I feel Kante+Bakayoko should handle Gabi + Koke fairly well. Both teams are in great form and it's going to be a very tactical battle. I fear for the stewards that pisses either Simeone or Conte off Morata Hazard--------Pedro Alonso-----Bakayoko----Kante----Moses Rudiger--------Luiz-----Azpilicueta Courtois 43 minutes ago, Teso dos Bichos said: Chelsea lacks depth and this is kante's first european competition no lies, just being honest Bluewolf. You're mistaking honesty with stupidity as your reasoning continues to back fire. Just last week you said we'd struggle without Costa. Since then, Batshuayi hattrick on Wednesday and Morata hattrick yesterday. Reality certainly isn't in your favor.

Toony 95 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Can't see many goals at all in the Atletico-Chelsea game, be very tight I reckon. Roma will win the other game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morata up top with a supporting striker who has more freedom. I like Hazard more behind the strikers than on the wing where he usually goes. perhaps 3-4-2-1, with the two being attacking midfielders not wingers.

SirBalon 2,671 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 4 minutes ago, Teso dos Bichos said: Saul (22) has way more experience and even more talent than kante, who is only playing his second European game saul has 22 goals with atletico and kante 10 Playing in that position goals aren’t exactly what an analysis of such a player is there to be looked at. Saúl isn’t a natural holding midfielder but he can play there. He is more diverse than Kanté but then again the French player is extremely important for any side. Kanté would be better compared with Gabi in the Atleti side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 4,907 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Even more retarded. By that logic, Fellaini is better than Iniesta as the former is more complete. What it comes down to is the influence a player has on the team as well as consistency. And Kante's influence and consistency is something Pogba can only hope to obtaining. Kante didn't win the best player of the season (should of won it ahead of Mahrez the year before as well) because he's the best footballing midfielder, it's because his influence and consistency was valued the most and led both Leicester and Chelsea to league titles. You can put all the laughing emojis you want and look like a twat whilst failing to make any reasonable counter argument other than comparing apples to oranges, but at the end of the day, Kante > Pogba Edited September 27, 2017 by Cicero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Not going to have a pop at the staff as I got a warning for some friendly criticism yesterday, I don't want to get banned. I will however say that nothing has changed within the forum since I was forced to use the ignore function. I can post in peace finally, but every thread is still the same bollocks. About Peru being shit before to Chelsea-Kante being shit. Its incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
