POST-MATCH DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



2014/15 Pre-Season Friendly Match 9
12th August, Tuesday, 2014
Stamford Bridge
19:45 Kick Off (UK time)

[Madmax 9,219]

Well, that was really pleasing to watch; easily our most complete performance yet - which is ideal because now it's all about the real thing. The most positive aspect was how quick and purposeful our start was; it set the tone. Movement, pressing, combinations, intent - all there. I cannot point out one less than average performance, except maybe Schurrle who disappeared from the game after the 15 minute mark. Fabregas and Matic look like they've been playing together forever. The defence could have done with having more of a test because they've been letting in silly goals but seeing as Real have lost most of their attacking players from last season, it's understandable why they didn't. All in all, good signs and I cannot wait for Burnley.

Fantastic game, back on our system, a lot of attacking attempts and 2 goals. They had no chance... Just what we wanted. Roll on the PL, you better watch out we're back!

[Melanicus 5,208]

We played great & we finally have a proper striker. What more can you ask for?

[Namika 922]

I liked Ivanovic - Terry and Filipe is so good with the ball.

[Special Juan 27,093]

Costa and his movement…..that's all.

Goodnight all.

[Shakez 755]

Big step forward today.

Good passing/forward play, but most of all: WE GOT A STRIKER!

Bring on Burnley!

TORRES to fuck off somewhere ,,,, ANYWHERE

[Polo7 3,496]

Looks like Courtois will be our number 1 keeper. Id guess anyone who played more than 45mins is a guaranteed starter next week.

He needs to be on the bench in the PL if he isn't why? :l he's a backup striker now lol.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Only concern is Oscar, everything else went well

[zolayes 14,489]

KTF he WILL come good again

He will cost us more points than he will win coming off the bench - better send him to one of our feeder clubs.

Idd, just don't rush him back. With the options we have we can allow it, it is a long season anyway.

Sounds identical to our first home game last season (Hull in the league). We were awesome in that game. But then as the season went on, we kinda just plateau'd in terms of firey and purposeful starts

Hope that doesn't happen this term

[zolayes 14,489]

btw RM won 2 0 ,, if anyone is remotely interested

[zolayes 14,489]

much more interesting MK Dons 3 Wimbledon 1

[Jase 43,479]

Good performance. Good win. Got the clean sheet. 7 wins out of 10 pre-season games. Decent. Bring on Burnley!

On the other hand, Real Sociedad were somewhat disappointing. Expected more.
