Just because you turned over Chelsea with a lonely one goal difference means nothing considering with all due respect to aging Chelsea, they are far from the title winning team they were seasons back.
You will face a much tougher task out-muscling Manchester City like that, I'm not blowing my trumpet here but merely stating a fact. Manchester City's firepower makes Chelsea's look mid table, you only need look at current statistics and watch Manchester City play to see it.
He said: "We have to frustrate them as much as we can and try and nick a goal.
“On any day if a team doesn't turn up they can be turned over. Blackpool showed that last year and others will this year. The Premier League is the best league in the world because anyone can beat anyone.
“We're under no illusions that Man City are a world-class side, but we have to make it difficult for them.
“They're the kind of games you look forward to because you're playing against some of the best players in the world and you've got to try and embrace that."
I say "Villareal picked up five yellows against City but should have had far more but the referee went light on them. Villarreal's Wakaso Mubarak was pulling, pushing and shoving Pablo Zabaleta here there and everywhere.
Kicking at his heels and sticking his elbow in and should have seen red, very very dirty player in my book and makes Dejong look like a hamster.
Wakaso even got in the face of Zabaleta after Wakaso took him out, whats all that about after deliberately fouling a player?, I mean you're on live television, obviously Wakaso thought he was innocent doh."
Respect to Villareal for putting up an Everton performance, they certainly played like gladiators and frustrated us if only for the might of Manchester to prevail.
Our lads did us proud and put in a true Pride in Battle performance, all of them deserve a big pat on the back so with that said.
Bring on Queens Park Rangers!
Jay Who? I'd ask what it was he said except I couldn't care less.
ReplyDeleteExactly Slacker, everyone wants a piece of us which is fair enough considering, I just thought i'd just exercise my right to reply. He is wrong to compare us to Chelsea in my humble opinion, I believe we are in a far stronger position and have a far better squad with all due respect to Chelsea.
ReplyDeleteHis message was in no way provoking, he just merely stated that they have to frustrate us like they did Chelsea.
In his own words, they are going to try turn us over, I remember not long ago we were in their position. I guess this is how its going to be from now on.
Everyone's always wanted a piece of us, I remember in the 3rd tier when every team played like it was their biggest game of the season against us. They wanted to make a statement to the world by beating us and this is what is happening now!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately for QPR I don't think they will - They struggled against Chelsea who had 9 men! I was really surprised Chelsea didn't score as they had so many chances and with 2 extra men you'd have thought they would have exploited the spaces with ease not get over run time after time!
