He signed 7 players and sold 12, sent 16 out on loan and released 9.
What an absolute shitter club.

Why have only 3 EPL teams since 2000 won the CL? And none have managed to repeat it, or win the treble, which an Italian, German and Spanish side (twice) did.

pet peeve of mine seeing players spending even weeks here and cant form one sentence

>>74106320
how many languages have you learned?

>>74106320
He already said a sentence in his first post-match interview, it was something broken but he's already trying. Supposedly saying hello to everyone at the training ground too.

Aguero's been here for nearly a quarter of his life and still can't fucking speak the language

>>74105908
>Belgium boss Roberto Martinez has compared Chelsea forward Eden Hazard, 26, to Barcelona's Lionel Messi, 29, and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, 32.

>>74106357
Footballer mate not business man

>>74106354
Hazard is so lazy compared to Ronaldo.

You really shouldn't compare anyone to him unless they have that insane work ethic

>>74106354
I can see the comparison to Messi kind of, as he can work well in the midfield as well as sometimes scoring. Anyone who actually watches football knows Ronaldo is a tap in merchant though.

>>74106320
As long as he can communicate with his teammates it isn't really a big deal

>>74106357
ahh right. i'm sure asking for a beer is just the same as someone shoving a camera in your face and interviewing you.

Why do Americans do this?

>>74106430

Ronaldo speaks Italian, English and Spanish fluently. Any nigger can be a polyglot if they want to.

What is this cointoss thing

>>74107076
It's because in American football, the coin toss decides who gets to attack first and since it's SUDDEN DEATH, whoever scores first wins.

This is basically if FIFA brought back golden goal but also said the team who won the coin toss is the only one allowed to attack and the other team can only defend.

He only played on the wing once (CL final) but everyone surely remembers the performance that put Pires to shame. How would you specify his role on the pitch? Complete midfielder? In truth, only one term describes him properly - Pogba.

Is this an accurate translation of the Superbowl into actual football:

>Atlanta were 3-0 up at half time
>then they scored another goal
>then Atlanta choked big time and let it go to 4-4
>then New England won because they kicked off first

>>74111241
No idea, don't give a shit about handegg

>>74111241
Pretty much, but I'll also add this: it's like golden goal where New England kicked off and got to score right from the kick-off.

>>74111241
>then New England won because they kicked off first
More like it went to pens and only NE were allowed to kick

>>74111241
Imagine if instead of having 5 penalties in a shoot-out, it was whoever scored first wins. If the first team scores on their first shot then the second team doesn't get a chance to score.

quite a big flaw in American football then if this is the case.

I really think about this thread every day. Every time I see Javi Martinez, every time I think about pizza hut, every time somebody wants to go to a carvery, every time a seagull flies by me, every time I see someone dabbing, every time somebody mentions 100 million, every time somebody is walking towards the camera, every time I talk to customer support, every time I see a slippery surface sign.

Holy shit. It's a part of me now. This thread is carving into my consciousness, and is dabbing towards my brain. Of course, *wins the league* flippy.jpg and a >moyes. I don't know what to do anymore. I wake up in the middle of the night and immediately yell EXPOSED! I just can't help it. Every dream I can remember for the past 6 months has had to do with this fucking thread. Even if it's just the faintest sound of the walking. Oh my God. Please save me. Somebody. I can't take it. My life is *walking towards it's end*.

I really am starting to think I need mental help. I've also started going to the local carvery lately and not until reading my own thoughts did I realize it's probably because of this thread. I browse /epl/ for around 5 hours every day and the amount of time's I've posted here in the past week is more times than I've thought of my family, friends or parents. To those who are new don't come here, and don't get into it. I posted "Any updates on the Javi Martinez to Liverpool situation?" at least once a week for a year, and it has actually addled my brain. The sound of a seagull alone sends me into fits of uncontrollable laughter.

All true. Now the tricky questions are which are worse and why the fuck are English and German women the worst in Europe.

>>74112094
Doubt he is silly enough to see his playtime as a real issue. He's fucking 19 and didn't perform in a way that would make him a clear starter yet this season, which Jose noted isn't an expectation, so it's probably all good.

Koeman didn't do enough to justify the placing either yet, will need at least one more season. Rest is solid though.

>>74113168
He's made them a very tough team to beat. Had no idea who the fuck Maguire was but he's been so impressive. Only 23 too.

The most impressive thing though is making Ranocchia look like a competent defender. Though that could just be Liverpool being Liverpool.

daily reminder United have been royally screwed all through the season by the refs in home matches. It's almost as if the league wants things to be more balanced. United might be looking at an 100% win record at home with normal refs

only De Bruyne, Silva and Gundogan would start for a world class club

>>74113255
>Who's been better in your opinion?
Silva, if he manages to keep Hull in the league. Pullis is doing well too. Also Poch got a ridiculous low netspend and would deserve it too if he manages to stay second and not fall back again. League title with Chelsea or one of the Manchester clubs is just special enough to deserve the plaudits, for that Conte should've won some cups too.

>steamrolling the league
>while actually playing really nice, fun to watch, football
So just like 2014-15? Chelsea ended up 10th because they wanted to avoid EL and their players had a hissy fit before, not because they lacked the quality.

>>74113266
Everton had a similar position before a season before too. Being 6 is nothing impressive for their budget/squad quality, it's United that's underperforming and Liverpool that are overperforming a bit.

>>74113403
Let me start by saying that I don't like Flop nor Liverpoodle but given the squad, he's actually doing a decent fucking job. Only deluded customers were crazy enough to think about the title, everything more than top 4 was never going to happen and if he sticks to top 4, which is a bit unlikely with the form, he's not doing too bad.

Everton finished 11th both in 14/15 and 15/16, and played atrocious football under Martinez. It's a considerable improvement with Koeman in charge

>>74113446
Your arguments are entirely speculative. Managing players is also a part of being a manager. Conte is proving time and time again to these players that he is in charge, something Mouyes failed at miserably.

>>74113327
Expensive team yes, but lets not pretend City haven't been lazy and horrible the past seasons, the CL semi they stumbled into was a disgrace

I don't know why everyone talks as if he hasn't improved them, they've created all sorts of chances and should've absolutely steamrolled their way through several matches. Some of the chances Aguero/De Bruyne and Sterling have missed are jaw dropping
Stones has been the MOTM for the opposing side several times
As far as Hart is concerned, I'm certain it was an issue of Hart causing divide in the locker room like Yaya, Mancini and Pellegrini had problems with Hart but were too scared to be blunt with England's golden boy
Genuinely don't understand how anyone who has watched City consistently can claim they're not better, with several key players past their prime like Silva

Lukaku is obsessed with making his mark. He's technically a team player, but the problem is he feels he's got to prove this legacy and that every second matters... so he wants to make as big an impact as he can

how about El Gordo? there's no championship general.

For now. Besides again, just because Mouyes failed at it the next season, doesn't take away CL semi, league cup and league with almost the same fucking team. Conte should be winning the league and only the idiots who think that Seria A is easy are really surprised.

>>74113517
It's not like they could've done worse than guy before, whatever his name was. Wilkins?

>>74113528
The first part was players throwing a fit. After Mou left, they were too far behind for CL and clearly didn't bother more than necessary beyond cucking Spurs.

>>74106354
I'm so sick of people trying to compare him to every one. I have never seen a player like him. The only way he's similar to Messi is that he's entirely unique in the way he plays. He'll never be as efficient as Messi or Ronaldo either so that's just another reason he's not comparable.

TL;DR: Eden Hazard is Eden Hazard, not anyone else.

>>74113826
Well, yes but Mourinho is probably the only guy next to Poop who can do it. Some guy who was second in Germany doesn't have the draw.

Just because Klopp isn't top manager doesn't mean he's bad though. Just look at the current Liverpool team, not a single world class player, even if Countinho's agent thinks Barca gives a fuck. They are in the position due Klopps memepressing and would be in midtable chasing Neverton without him.

Hardly an achievement, fucking Crystal Palace played previous FA Cup Final and League Cup is even more irrelevant than that. 13/14 is ancient history and two recent seasons with Martinez were simply horrible. Repeated 11th places were severe underperformances no matter how you look at it and the playstyle was worse still. Koeman rejuvenated them, plays attacking football and EL qualification is the best they could have hoped for.

>motivating your players and not letting them do shit like that isn't manager's job at all, is it
Not counting extraordinary situations like at Chelsea last season or perhaps Lestah now, you usually don't have to motivate the players to play their normal game. It comes into play in case of Simeone or Ranieri last season, who made their players play much better than sum of their parts. It's given that Chelsea players wouldn't throw a fit at a new coach from the start, so Conte had a clean slate. Did he made them overachieve? Clearly not, at least for now. If he wins the treble next season, he's definitely fucking great though.

>>74114019
>Luckily, motivating your players and not letting them do shit like that isn't manager's job at all, is it
It obviously goes both way. People just like to point at mouyes as the sole reason for their failure that season

>>74114127
>They want CL tho...
So does everyone , I imagine
>extraordinary situations
Why should it be considered extraordinary, besides >mouyes' extraordinary failure in man management? You encounter dips in form, ego clashes and low morale regulary as a manager, letting it progress into full-blown mutiny and >mouyes' mental breakdown is something else. Current Lester is a different case, Ranieri himself said that the goal for the season after title-winning season is staying up, he's aware of the actual squad quality. People fail to recognize what a spectacular achievemnt their league title was and expecting anything similiar again is just silly.

>>74114019
>Luckily, motivating your players and not letting them do shit like that isn't manager's job at all, is it
it's not a good sight for the club. it's not the first time Chelsea players pull one like this, in fact it seems it's part of the club's institutionalized culture.
