:lol: guy just runs loads, admittedly quite fast.

 

Much ignorance of pre-Chelsea Willian.

 

Even the last game where he didn't have to play that covering role he was a decent threat. Wasn't as good as I have seen him before, but was a much improved performance over the ones he's had this season.

 

Still has a lot to desire in the final third.

ooooh 23 goals in 7 years in Ukraine and Russia, I was wrong.

 

He's not a goal scorer though, it's like judging someone like Iniesta on goals. Willian plays further up the pitch, sure, but he also gives his team another dimension (or at least did). Now he just does what you are talking about for most part.

I look at a player like Ayoze and think that intelligence doesn't necessarily come with age or experience. His vision of the pitch and natural understanding for the game is something Lukaku lacks completely. Lukaku needs to be "developed" into the world class striker he can clearly become. The lad has immense talent and physical presence. Maybe his manager forgets that he's still so young and relies too much on him as a senior player.

For the really good players, yes, intelligence comes naturally. But for many others, including players like Ronaldo and Zidane, their intelligence and control didn't come until much later.

 

Even in other sports, guys like Federer didn't become intelligent, mature and in control until 24, 25. The young ones are the exception. Most guys peak physically around 24, but mentally they reach their peak 2-3 years later.

I've done something horrible.  :(

 

I bought something from the club shop. It was only £10, but I still feel dirty and no amount of showers can rid me of the stink.  :whatdidido:

 

I'm sorry  :embarrassed:

Haha I bought a Minnie the magpie (female version) for the Mrs from there because it was half price about 2 years ago. It was a bit of a bargain!

Horse hair shirt infested with lice ala Thomas A'Beckett and some self flagellation and you are on the road to forgiveness....

We've won a trophy! Somebody dug up a communiqué from the Spanish FA dated from 1953 granting us the Eva Duarte Cup (Supercopa precedent), as winners of the 1952-53 league and cup. Supercopa rules weren't clearly laid out back then, so it wasn't clear if we'd actually won it or not.

You'll get relegated for sure now.

What's wrong with Falcao? He's basically making a ton of money and not doing much. His knee is f***ed and he can't run as fast anymore. The agent did what was in the client's best interests. If he's not going to recover fully then he may as well earn as much as possible. And if he is going to recover, he'd do it at a club with the facilities like Man Utd. Basically the option was to earn a lot of money while recovering or to not earn a lot of money.

 

The scummy agents are the ones that don't look after their client's best interests, the one that doesn't develop the kids, offer them guidance and make sure they know that they have to work hard. The agents who move their players around to earn more money are the best agents around.

 

His career has been downhill since he made that ridiculous move to Monaco when he was at the peak of his career, which was his agent's doing. He's going to be remembered for nothing in the game.

 

Just the two MOTM performances in European cup finals. League titles on a couple leagues in different continents. Absolutely nobody will remember him.

You don't think his decline is more to do with tearing his knee about a year ago (generally considered a injury that takes a year to fully recover) rather than a club he played less than 20 matches for with a 1 in 2 record?
