  1. Mehh make that two. Mata's second goal was lucky. And their organisation was all messed up for the first goal due to Adu's mistake. So still a area we really need to improve on. And I believe we will with time.
  2. Poor performance yet 4 goals and none conceded, can't complain. Torres is my MOTM. Great all-round performance. Loved Frankie's assist and our 4th goal. Oscar also scored a incredible goal actually but the ref didn't allow play to go on. A shame.
  3. Juninho would've been proud.
  4. 'FK specialist' Cristiano Ronaldo has a similar ratio to be fair.
  5. True. A experiment gone wrong I guess. Ramires has put in another solid display btw. Encouraging signs really.
  6. He's certainly making a name for himself, what a performance. I really don't like Moses on the left.
  7. I thought we were pretty poor actually. Sloppy plays and failed to keep the ball well. Our opponent lacks the quality to cause us much problems defensively. Agree with the parts about Moses and especially Luiz. His passing is so unnecessarily sloppy..
  8. Come on Torres, need to finish chances like that.
  9. Oscar is going to be HUGE. You just wait and see.
  10. He did well in his time at Chelsea though I expected him to do better and make a bigger impact on the team. Though the fact he couldn't play in his most natural role because of Lampard's presence played a part in that. But he did do extremely well in the second half of 09/10 as our anchor man and played a crucial role in winning the Double so at least he went out with a bang. His attitude, leadership and professionalism were highly admirable and that's what I miss the most when thinking about his time here.
  11. Replace Lamps and Mata with Ramires and Marin and I agree. Think this is the ideal to start MnM. He was pretty good in pre-season and needs to gain some rythm now. No Lamps, not from the start that is, because I'd play him against Norwich. And they will probably sit back and hit us on the break so Ramires will come in handy to deal with their counter-attacks.
  12. I just laughed when they were blaming him. It doesn't even annoy me anymore. If we keep conceding as little as we have been until now with D. Luiz, people can lable him as the worst defender in the league for all I care.
  13. Since when does a shot on goal equal a goal though? Teams who score 4 goals in a game usually get at 8, 9 shots on goal. Nobody's that clinical.
  14. Cech was definitely key but I don't recall Arsenal creating chances left and right. So I have no idea how they would score 4 goals. The excuses never end. Every year they have a nice story about why didn't win anything. But it's never because of their own inability to perform over a whole season. We were lucky he got injured yeah. They didn't have a proper replacement available.
  15. Oh Arsenal fans. Apparently the win was completely undeserved and Cech's the only reason we won. If not for him we'd be trailing 4-1 after the first half. Constantly talking about our goals coming from set-pieces.. Why not scrape set-pieces from the game all together.
  16. Fair enough, we all have our own opinions. I'm happier with Mata as well. Juan's 24, there's more to come. Though last year I was hoping both Juan and Santi would join us. Could've been something but now we have Hazard and Oscar, which is even better.
  17. Yeah I was hoping we'd get Mata and Cazorla last year but he surprisingly joined Malaga. But we've bought some players with great potential since then so I can't complain. Though we always have to pay extreme fees. Mikel, Ramires and the rest of the team did very well to silence him definitely. The pressing was excellent. At one stage we regained the ball quickly after losing possession like six times in succession, I couldn't stop smiling.
  18. The fact that you think Mata's the better player is fine and all but the 'where are those who thought he was better than Mata' comment after the game is just typical. As if this one game decides that matter. Again, if Cazorla outperformed Mata today I'm sure you wouldn't have said he's the better player. Which is only logical. But you obviously haven't seen Santi much, if at all, before he joined Arsenal so there's no point discussing who's been better the past years.
  19. Here I am. Santi's been the better player the past few years for me. Not by much but still. He just has that maturity in his game, not surprising considering he's in his prime, while I also find him more complete. Strong defensive play (for a AM), dangerous FK taker, energetic, better on the ball under pressure. Though I'd say Mata's more decisive which is very important. As a Chelsea fan I'm happy Mata outperformed him today. A lot of that thanks to the fact we didn't give Arsenal much time on the ball today. Though it's typical how the average football fan draws conclusions after a single game if it's in their favour. I'm sure you wouldn't have changed your opinion if Cazorla outperformed Mata today. Good performance by Torres today btw. I was hoping he'd perform today and luckily he did. Just don't disappear again Fernando.
  20. Good performance against a good team. We're clearly improving our game and that's the most important thing. The pressing was excellent for example. Hope we keep that up. The high(ish) line is still a bit of a issue but it wasn't awfully executed. We were much better than before off the ball. Still need to work on creating more (clear cut) chances though. And we should be getting more out of our counter-attacks, we could get quite a few goals from them. Good win Chelsea. Always feels good beating Arsenal. No one really stood out for me so I'm gonna go with Mata as MOTM.
  21. Love how they always blame D. Luiz. Terry went back as well.
  22. This is the problem with starting Oscar, Hazard and Mata in the '3'. The opponents can easily double up on our fullbacks.
