Mehdi Taremi @ FC Porto | 2020-2021

[inarsenewetrust]

how did we produce two top class international standard CFs who play brilliantly together only to pair them with one of our worst midfields ever...

Nevermind that, just watch this goal on repeat.

"Chelsea 0-1 Porto (2-1 agg): Stunning Taremi strike in vain as Blues reach last four"

Porto were devoid of ideas in a drab quarter-final second leg until substitute Taremi's sublime acrobatic strike gave them a glimmer of hope.

Sergio Conceicao introduced Taremi after 63 minutes and the striker had half a chance soon after coming on, but failed to generate enough power on a header that was comfortably saved by Mendy.

Taremi gave Porto victory on the night with a brilliant bicycle kick in the 93rd minute, but the damage had already been done.

Sometimes, I'm thinking: perhaps, since we currently don't seem to be able to put together a world class midfield, maybe we should just BYPASS it alltogether!

Try to find a really big and tall AM who's good at collecting long balls and laying them off to Taremi and Azmoun.

Picture: a top of the line defense and decent defensive midfield playing hoofballs forward, coupled with two world class strikers dispatched by a target hoofball collector.

I'm only half joking...

Taremi has more than paid for his relatively meager salary. It's time to move on to bigger things!

Be interesting to see SC press conference.

So nice to read stuff like this about one of our boys.

What does it mean? Disciplined Blues march on

Chelsea looked untroubled as Porto had plenty of the ball but were unable to break the Premier League side down until a moment of magic from Taremi. This was a first Champions League defeat of the season for the Blues, but that will not be a concern for Thomas Tuchel as he eyes two trophies just a few months after replacing Frank Lampard.

Taremi's thunderbolt was only Porto's second shot on target as they were unable to end a 17-year wait to reach the semi-finals of the competition.

i genuinely think with the current traction hes getting he can get a good transfer

[Doctor DOOM]

I cannot stand British media. Such pompous attitude.

I know.
the motherf**kers couldnt take getting scored on, even when they won. so the commentators started saying he "shinned" it and it was his shin and wasnt executed correctly or some f**king garbage the brits are well known for!


well f&%k you and your f&%ked up football

I hate Madrid. But I hope they rape pool ... again. if for nothing else, but to hear these brit commentators shit themselves and weep on TV

They gave a valiant effort at least. QF for a team hampered with financial issues (now they are off FFP watchlist heading into summer thanks to frugal spending and this CL run which brought them EU 80 million).

This CL they lost narrowly away to city, drew them at home, beat Olympiakos,Marseille without any issues home and away, pulled off huge scalp against Juventus, and split games with one of the most in form sides in europe, Chelsea.

End of the day the aggregate score of 2-1 comes down to not taking chances in first leg where they played very well overall (no taremi killed them there) and not being brave enough, creating enough danger in second leg (again no taremi for 60 mins killed them).

Still in with fighting chance of winning league. But even if they dont a solid season. For next year I like to see what moves they make. For sure they need an upgraded LB (Zaidu is not competent at this level right now, offensively or defensively), a quality #10 to go with uribe and sergio in the midfield, and if they can a CB upgrade too. Pepe who they already confirmed from brazil will be a good upgrade on tecatito in the long run I think, he was horrendous tonight and weak all season imo.

Live SC conference, if anyone can translate and live post

Bayern ought to reignite the Iranian connection and stop embarrassing themselves by fielding Stoke City rejects in a CL quarter-final.
