Jon 0 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 1-0 to chelsea but not really a great game. Wigan have done well I think considering conceding an early goal. I would have expected the keeper to have done better, but wat a bit of business getting Deco in. They really have some midfield. Ive always liked Anelka, probably his best football coming through at Arsenal BUT it does show how much they miss Drogba. Still rumours that he's for the off, he will be very difficult to replace. Some of the football Chelsea play at the moment is excellent, very quick one touch football. Really do think it will be between Chesea and Manu for the title this year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Deco is just class - great free kick. There midfield is frightening. They are just so strong all over the pitch, i cant anyone other than them winning the league. In saying that Wigan havent been bad in the last 10 mins. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 2nd half is pretty dire tbh Agree 100% re the midfield, they must surely have the best midfield going from any league. Deco, agree, pure class...but I think Ballak is too. Lampard, I dont understand why he cant do for England what he does for Cheslea. Then you can throw in Essien, Cole. Truly frightening. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Great save from Cech! If Chelsea can get Deco, Ballack, Lampard and Essien in the same midfield why cant England get Lampard and Gerrard playing in the same time - its a nonsence. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 Lampard and Gerrard just dont seem to work which is strange as they are both great players and could walk into almost any team in the world. Together they just dont seem to gel though. No idea why. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Because 1 of them is always told to play a stupid role. Gerrard played LM last week. They should have Carrick sitting behind them then just let Gerrard and Lampard have a free role with J Cole or Ashley Young on the left / Agbonlahor or Bentley on the right. But as usual England have to make sure they get the big names in which makes them suffer. Its not rocket science, id go with: _____________________Carrick__________________ __Agbonlahor_____Gerrard_____Lampard_____J Cole__ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 Id go along with that too. Capello said the time for experimenting is over though so who knows. I still think the best England have done is under Hoddle and Keegan. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 The best England done was under Robson and Venebles, only penalties possibly stopped them winning the WC and EC. If Hoddle had taken Gazza to WC98 then it could have made a difference, he was slightly off the rails then but he was easily stilll capable of giving that extra bit to assist a then young Scholes. Capello says he wont be picking players on reputation but why is Beckham even in the squad? I cant think of anything else than for marketing reasons. La Galaxy havent won in 7 games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
