Champions League Round of 16

Fair play to AVB, dropping the ego's. He's a good manager, chelski don't deserve him.

Yeah, he has been brilliant for them. Winning games while playing attractive football. :shrug:

He has been worse than Scolari. Even with a team of old gomers he should be doing better.

TBF he's been managing with his hands tied behind his back. Last year Porto were class. If he is given the chance to build his team he'll come good.
If Harry goes to England Spurs could do a lot worse. Either him or Rogers would be nice. Cause Jose ain't happening.

But Porto are class most seasons. They've won the title 14 times in the last 20 years, and the only reason they're behind Benfica at the moment is that they're missing Falcao's goals. He seems to have got a lot of players' backs up Ramos-style, which isn't a good sign.

As for the ageing squad, that's a bit of a myth.

Come on Napoli!

 

[hugrr]

Why is that dude wearing a bakers hairnet?

Aaah he has a massive gash

 

[talkshowhost86]

I think Napoli need to get an early goal. That would really shake Chelsea.

Still think Chelsea will go through despite all their problems.

 

[talkshowhost86]

Cavani should have scored there. Cahill looks vulnerable.

 

[kcmei]

that's because cahill is average

 

[werty]

Malouda has gone really shit.

 

[seanwhite1961]

English self-interest wants Chelsea to go through to maintain the ranking in CL.

Cole and Lampard. I reckon most would know their level. Don't get me wrong I'm happy to see Romans deck of cards falling around him, but AVB doesnt deserve to burn because of those wankers.

 

[werty]

Where the hell was the Napoli defence there?

 

[talkshowhost86]

Although he deserves more time to sort things out, AVB has practically got everything wrong since joining Chelsea. He's kept the 'old guard' whilst at the same time talking about evolution blah blah blah. Tactically he's played to what he knows rather than the players he has and has seemed reluctant to bring in the right players for his system of choice.

Pleasing to see obviously but I've seen nothing from AVB to suggest he'll make a success story out of Chelsea anytime soon.

 

[lol]

guys. which one is an english channel? i hate to watch foreign language commentary..

 

[talkshowhost86]

Lavezzi is different gravy. Would really suit the English game as well.
