Nah, I really think that's just giving Dias way too much credit when Man City clearly changed their approach. It's too simple to just say Man City defended better this year so let's give the award to Dias. I can't be bothered to find the quotes but I've heard Guardiola himself say they changed things this year in terms of structure and game management.

Kane should have been rewarded for scoring and creating the most goals. He walks into every team in the league and improves significantly more than Dias does imo. :manny:

Sorry I disagree Kane should not have won it when his goals didn't help his team do anything and in fact his team was worse overall

At least when people likes Suarez won it when their team didn't win the league. He at least made Liverpool the most entertaining team in the league and got them to 2nd place and improved them loads. Went from 7th to 2nd (and he missed 8 games of that season.)
We would have won the league if he didn't:ufdup:

Also I don't think it is giving to much credit to Dias, he improved the team to the point of them winning the league. You saw when Stones was with Kompany, he was a much better defender than when he was with the likes Otamendi and whoever else was there who has not been that great

Stones is the type of defender who needs a really good defender next to him to guide him in what he does. A bit like Maguire all though I think he is a better defender than Maguire.
Without someone next to him constantly telling him what to do ,guiding him, he has concentration lapses and fukks up alot

Bolsonaro’s minions and the CBF are on a social media campaign to slander Tite as a being a radical leftist and a Communist, because the team doesn’t want to play in the Copa América. The fact that #ForaTite (Tite Out) is trending right now is shameful.

I’d be shocked if Tite doesn’t either get fired or quit soon :francis:

Can't blame Kane for his team's failure. He was working under a terrorist for most of the season and still put up numbers.

If it was a straight choice between Kane and Dias we know who everybody is taking...even Pep.




I’ve watched this over 20 times now :mjlol:


Watching this again made me realise Havertz was embarrassing Dias in the air. That's when Werner wasn't dragging him and Stones here, there and everywhere with his movement. :ohlawd:

Werner's off the ball work is absolutely elite. Even the FA Cup goal when he made the run in behind Dias and got the assist for the winner. (Also Chilwell ball over the top that goes through to Ziyech at 52 seconds into the video, what is your man Dias doing? :heh: )



Dias looks quite slow on the turn and a lil slow in general btw:mjpls:think we'll see this exposed a bit more moving forward.

I miss the premier league :mjcry:

Really looking forward to the transfer season and next season. First time in a long time I think Chelsea have a chance of winning the league. *No jinx

Looking for that Ziyech goal on youtube took me down memory lane to 16-17 youth cup final :wow:

To think the likes of Mount, Foden, Sancho, Reece James, Hudson-Odoi etc were all coming through. Both Pep and Conte at the home games to see all the hype.
This why we had such high hopes for Hudson-Odoi btw, he was so special at this level :mjcry:

I think we'll be competitive, none of that 20-30 points behind shyt.
