Nihilist:last two of Messi came from a city player misplacing a pass to his team mate. To me they haven't quite mastered the art of passing the ball under pressure and to make things worse they met the masters of the style. 1 Like |

Look at the 2nd Gif for example. First guy passed to his mate and was quickly pressured by Barca players, fellow panicked and tried to quickly pass but he was dispossessed, am sure when he received the pass he had no immediate person in mind to pass to. 3 Likes |

raumdeuter: Man save me this line of reasoning. What fueled all these errors? Y'all make it look as if City players were paid to commit those errors. City’s process of coming to terms with how their manager wants them to play creates an environment where mistakes are more likely, so the manager takes the blame. Barca when off the ball are very good at closing down their opponents, If Pep was that pragmatic he would have thought about that and instructed his players to release the ball quick enough, but hell no, he's a big fan of ball retention and there he got served. You can't blame KDB and Gundogan for passing to Barca players when they should have made a clearance, they were only playing to the gaffer's instruction. When things go wrong, this is what a manager does/says: Jose Mourinho concedes he has work to do to stop the individual errors he believes are costing Manchester United. . . .and that is his job! 1 Like |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by pamcode(m): 1:41pm On Oct 20, 2016 |
nateevs:Of course he could If he has the players. Which leads us to the next question does he have those players to sustain in the long run. Silva is 30, fernandinho and nolito is near that If I am not making a mistake, does he have a Messi - like figure to display raw talent and skills, hot strikers like Eto, henry, Villa etc, fast, attacking full backs to increase width like Abidal, zambrotta, Alves etc, technical and able defenders like puyol.? I sincerely hope he suceeds though for the sake of Iheanacho and the Premier League and i hope Conte suceeds with us too. The standard and competitiveness(just like the Italian league of old) of EPL would be raised hopefully or the opposite could happen. 1 Like |

Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool players salute The Kop after a 2-2 draw with West Brom last season Reacting in such a manner to a point against West Brom was derided by critics, yet Klopp insisted that was merely a consequence of his admiration for every team in the Premier League. "The differences between the Premier League and all the other leagues in world football is that (there are) big individual qualities in all of these teams," said Klopp. "I think we all know the reason for it and that's the big difference. "Nobody will go through and have at the end 120 points or something because there are a lot of difficult hurdles to jump over and West Brom is for sure one of them. They fight for every point. "I respect them all and I showed it last year when we played West Brom. I celebrated the point and it was a little bit surprising for most of the people but I was happy. Jurgen Klopp has backed goalkeeper Loris Karius after criticism of his form at the start of his Liverpool career. "I don't know in this moment if I would celebrate a draw again, it depends on the game we play on Saturday. Everything's possible." Klopp confirmed his Liverpool squad came through Monday's goalless draw with Manchester United unscathed. Jurgen Klopp expects Georginio Wijnaldum to be fit to face West Brom Midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum returned to training on Wednesday after missing the game with a hamstring injury sustained while on international duty. Klopp said: "There is nothing to really moan about. A few kicks and things like this in the game, after the game, but nobody is ruled out and Gini is on the way back. "If nothing happens today or tomorrow, we have a big squad." www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/10624581/jurgen-klopp-expects-west-brom-to-pose-a-stiff-test-for-liverpool |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nihilist: 2:53pm On Oct 20, 2016 |
pamcode: That was not a characteristic of any unblended team..those were simple brainfarts. You could pack 10 men in the box, but fernandinho would fall down and give Messi a free chance at goal. You could pack 10 men in the box and an errant kdb back pass would still open up a tightly packed defence. These are errors that can happen independent of tactics. So trying to qualify these individual errors as products of poor tactics is not on...especially when the players making these stupid errors are world class players that should actually know better. |

When Jose beat Chelsea
Jose Mourinho returns to Stamford Bridge for
only the second time as an opposition manager
when Manchester United face Chelsea on Super
Sunday . Here, we recall how he knocked the
Blues out of the Champions League on his way
to lifting the trophy with Inter Milan in 2010.
"Nothing special." That was how Jose Mourinho
described the draw for the last 16 of the
Champions League in December 2009, when Inter
Milan were paired with his former club Chelsea.
The Portuguese insisted he would treat the game
like any other, but his attempts to downplay the
occasion fell on deaf ears.
It was a little over two years since his
acrimonious departure from Stamford Bridge, and
it would be his first trip back to the stadium he
called home for three glorious seasons between
2004 and 2007, when he steered the Blues to
two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two
League Cups.
It was a mouth-watering tie, and Mourinho's
frosty relationship with Carlo Ancelotti only
added to the spectacle. The pair had locked
horns during Ancelotti's time in charge of Inter's
rivals AC Milan in the previous season, and the
lead-up to the first leg was dominated by talk of
their rivalry.
Just a few days previously, Mourinho had been
fined and banned for three Serie A games after
making handcuff gestures as two of his players
were sent off during a goalless draw with
Sampdoria. It was not the first time he had
courted controversy since taking over at Inter,
and his antagonistic behaviour was winning few
friends outside of the club.
Ancelotti insisted "the whole of Italy" would be
cheering for Chelsea, and Italian newspaper La
Repubblica carried a similar message: "Many
hoped he would bring some maturity and culture
to our football, but instead we are going
backwards
As the storm raged around their manager,
however, Inter's players embraced the siege
mentality. The Italian giants had drawn their
previous three games in Serie A, but there was
no sign of sluggishness when Chelsea came to the
San Siro in February 2010. Just three minutes
had passed when Diego Milito eluded John Terry
and fired a low shot inside Petr Cech's near
post.
Mourinho nodded his head in satisfaction. It was
a perfect start for Inter, but Chelsea equalised
through Salomon Kalou early in the second half.
Inter rallied quickly, though, with Esteban
Cambiasso scoring what turned out to be the
decisive goal just a few minutes later when he
rifled home a diagonal shot after his original
effort had been blocked by Branislav Ivanovic.
Chelsea were left to rue what had looked like a
clear penalty when Kalou was brought down by
Walter Samuel before the break, but Inter
celebrated their 2-1 win before Mourinho turned
his attentions to the second leg at the stadium
where he didn't lose a single league game
between 2004 and 2007.
"I will have to control my emotions there and
be professional," Mourinho said. "I will go back
to a different dressing room and dugout, but
they will know that normally Mourinho is lucky at
Stamford Bridge. I have nothing to prove to
Chelsea, to Chelsea's players, to Chelsea's fans,
to Chelsea's board. The relations are great. Will
I be booed? I don't believe I will be. I will be
clapped.''
Mourinho takes his seat in the away dugout
before kick off
Mourinho was afforded a warm welcome by
Chelsea supporters, pausing to sign autographs on
the sidelines before kick off, but the mood
soured as soon as the action got underway.
Mourinho was an animated figure on the
touchline, engaging in a running feud with the
fourth official as his side made their presence
felt on the field.
The hosts struggled to find a way through Inter's
formidable backline of Maicon, Lucio, Samuel and
Javier Zanetti, and tempers frayed with every
niggling foul as Inter sought to slow the game
down. Chelsea's best chances came in a frantic
period before the break, with Nicolas Anelka
going close and Didier Drogba denied a penalty
when he appeared to be hauled down by Samuel.
Mourinho relays instructions to Javier Zanetti and
Esteban Cambiasso
[b] Mourinho's game plan centred around frustrating
Ancelotti's side, but there was attacking intent
too. Milito was flanked by Samuel Eto'o and
Goran Pandev, who pinned back Chelsea's full-
backs Ivanovic and Yuri Zhirkov and offered a
considerable threat on the counter-attack.
Inter looked increasingly menacing as the second
half wore on, with Milito spurning a golden
opportunity before Eto'o killed the tie with a
clinical finish from Wesley Sneijder's pass 12
minutes from time. Chelsea's frustration boiled
over when Drogba was sent off for a stamp on
Motta.
Mourinho had got his tactics just right. The
former Chelsea manager revealed he had watched
the first leg seven times in preparation for the
return game, and Ancelotti admitted Inter were
deserving winners. "Tonight, [Chelsea's players] felt immediately that Inter were the best team and this brings frustration to great players," said Mourinho. "These are my players, my people but today I was the enemy and the enemy won. I celebrated a lot in the dressing room. It was a big victory for my team. I love Chelsea, I love this stadium, I love these people but I am a professional."[/b] Mourinho's career has taken twists and turns since that night, but he returns to Stamford Bridge on Super Sunday with another chance to make his point. Chelsea supporters will hope it doesn't evoke memories of the last time he took his seat in the away dugout. www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/10623772/when-jose-beat-chelsea 3 Likes 1 Share |

pamcode: Let me ask you this. Assuming you hadn't seen that clip before, and you saw only up to where KDB received the ball and someone asked you what would happen next... Would you predict that: A KDB turns and passes to Kolarov in space on his left B KDB turns and passes the ball to Busquets on his right |

This issue of releasing the ball quickly is where dribbling comes in. This is one of the reasons it is an important skills a midfielder or attacker should possess. |
