Chelsea is pretty spoiled to have a right back like Ivanovic. Dude has great positioning and awareness in the oppositions box.

For such a hard nosed tactically sound defender, I've always been particularly impressed by his flair and nose for goal. He has to have one of the best strike rates for a defender in the league.

Paddy off,Valencia on

 

[ice city fc]

 at Dani Alves

1-0 Malaga over Barca

A couple other worthy moments from the back four as well.

Would love to see Messi get more involved in the second half.

 

[rolaholic]

De Gea!!! More awful defending :x

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Alves still has some years left to play at a good level but he's another dude that loves the lifestyle of being a footballer than being a good footballer. That was one of the dumbest mistakes IVe seen in a long time. Trying to passing it back to Bravo when the player was already at you.

Barca looks a little lathargic today. Malaga isn't even playing at full strength with players it due to injury & yellow cards. Regardless, they are fast as ish...

Does the kit man put the sponsor on the socks? Seeing a lot more of that...

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Neymar, you're holding onto the ball too long... Got damn this Malaga team is fast.. You blink once & they have a minimum of 3 players already near the goal box...

 

[Sinner]

RVP... misfiring.

 

[rolaholic]

RVP's looked pretty rusty out there today,he's missed a few chances that he'd usually do better with

 

[Sinner]

Attacking from the left-flank looks so much better since the addition of Ash Young.  

 

[rolaholic]

Yeah the field in general has opened up a lot more with Young and Valencia coming on and making better deep runs,they've had a flurry of chances lately as a result. Just nothing coming from them yet

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Enrique must've had his team practice being offside this week for some new tactical reason...

 

[rolaholic]

Rooney's been MOTM for me so far,he's been so active and involved on most chances.

 

[Sinner]

Are you kidding me?  Golazo.

My gawd what a strike :x

 

[dlo13]

Oh, FFS.
Matic red after the ref again swallows his whistle. This is ridiculous.

 

[eiddyfouw]

Sigh....I didn't sign up for this....

 

[nomadicsole21]

Dirty by both players. Matic probably had spoiled milk in his Wheaties this morning tho.

 

[Sinner]

Deflection.

 

[rolaholic]

RVP needs to come off for James/Falcao imo

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Sigh....I didn't sign up for this....

Oh yes you did my fine NT friend. You bought the LvG undies & everything... Lol

 

[tsamshox]

******* ********

 

[keepie uppie]

so...
a win when you're playing badly or would you rather see them lose in arguably one of their best performance this season?

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Pedro only seems to score when Barca is already on top... Offside again for the Blaugrana...offside again...

Pique misses next game bcs of yellow cards. That's addition by subtraction...

Neymar holding onto the ball too long again...

It really is ironic

 

[nomadicsole21]
