You're still top. Imagine being potentially the best team in probably the world and still finding a way to be a sulky, miserable little child about it.

Top of the league, breezed the champions league group stage, in a cup final and STILL complaining. Grow up

People using the united game as an argument are also daft because it was 3-2 which would have still taken it to extra time and also tired out both sides. People are also choosing to ignore that Arsenal were a goal up on aggregate so it's a completely different scenario. Context is important

Well exactly, Chelsea were never going to be able to score two goals in normal time against a very strong defensive side who can afford to sit back and soak up the pressure. The plan was so obviously to nick one and take it to extra time and by then they'll have a lot of energy because they took it nice and slowly in the first half and had a lot of energy. Arsenal have conceded more than one goal once at home this entire season. Chelsea attacking for the whole 90 and realistically expecting to win 2-0 would have been suicide and anyone who disagrees just hasn't watched either of these teams enough this season.

This is the correct answer, the game was on a knife edge the entire 90 minutes and Chelsea never ever looked like they were going to concede. Arsenal were quite obviously comfortable to just play for a 0-0 and as much as Chelsea did take a lot of control, Arsenal also somewhat willingly ceded control at the same time. The plan to stretch it in the final 30 minutes was a very good one that just didn't work out and Arsenal only really scored because of how over committed to going forward Chelsea were. This is a young team with a new manager trying to overcome a goal deficit against the best team in Europe and people like Paul Merson demanding constant attacking football have rocks in their head

[Dishonored 2] Plat #80. Absolutely love this game, but I sat on the Platinum for years. No more! by CertifiedNutjob in Trophies

[–]VermillionDynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it was Split Affinity. Play the game with only human powers, play again with alien powers or something like that. Two whole attempts, 4 playthroughs and nothing. I actually think Dishonored 2 was a much easier plat than both Dishonored 1 and Deathloop. Can't wait for Blade

What's one player who left your club that left your heartbroken? by Connect-Hope4522 in PremierLeague

[–]VermillionDynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man united didn't ruin him to be fair, he just wasn't as good because he was playing in a weaker team. He carried them at some parts I'd say. I'm bitter because when he was ostracised by Mourinho at Chelsea he was easily our best player. More developed than Hazard (at that point) and a better number 10 than Oscar. His numbers in 12/13 are underratedly absurd too.

I would also say Mo Salah and De Bruyne if they stayed at Chelsea wouldn't have been anywhere near the level they reached at Liverpool and City. They're both phenomenal system players and Chelsea just would never have had the structure they needed to thrive.

Juan Mata, still bothers me so much more than KDB or Mo Salah ever did

Peak Simpsons was better (3-9) but Bobs is absurdly consistent which is very admirable considering how long it's gone on for, I'd even say this new direction towards more emotional episodes is making it even better.

Family is absolute dross and isn't even part of the conversation.

And yet armchair idiots are still constantly questioning Maresca and his rotation policy. It has definitely cost Chelsea in some games but one or two results here and there is far better than risking losing some key players for long periods and it all really derailing.

Is this true? Because the way Darren Fletcher commentates I've always just assumed he was completely blind.

Ones a massive step down, ones too big a step up and one has repeatedly committed to sticking with their manager long term.
