TrippingStep

Playing with infiltration is not good and we have matches every three days until the end of the year. Better to heal properly than to play with infiltration. I think he has played matches with infiltration but it seems like it's great for the match he was on it but not great for two three matches after. Especially for a player like him that is explosive.

When he tripped on the ball because he didn't want to shoot with his left foot is as funny in not a good way as some gifs of Valencia turning around to not use his left foot.

Against West Ham, he had poor finish but overall his game was good. At least with him, we can keep the flow of the game as he won't break the play like Torres often do.

Time to focus only on the fa cup and dish the uefa cup out. We don't have the squad to keep playing a match every 3-4 days.

I could just see the last 15 minutes. Moses really hates his left foot

Luke Shaw has been described by countless scouts and people who saw him in the youth international tournament, among the best world players of his age. I don't think it has ever been the case for Bertrand. Bertrand is average at best. His composure on the ball is awful, in the final third of the pitch, he's clueless and on defensive duties, he's average. Many talk about the champion's league final but it's not like he was great that night to contain Robben with Cole. It's just that Robben was in a " I will shoot everytime I can" without putting a shot on target.

Nothing made sense today. Everyone know Southampton is a high energy team who runs a lot and yet he starts the game with Terry Ivanovic Lampard Mikel. With Luiz Ramires, we could have players that can run from deep and break their pressing organisation. The same with Hazard who can draw defenders away. And cole has much more composure on the ball than Bertrand. Ba has scored three goals against Southampton this year and he didn't start and even play one minute while in the last 20 minutes, we were around their box. With his movements he could have forced an error from them, scored a header or cutting a pass inside the box. Torres is awful in the box.

A nightmare against teams that press them. They can't carry the ball, they are so slow to turn. Some good midfielders have no pace either but they have some tricks to put their markers in the wrong path.

I think so, when he didn't bring Ba while we were having many crosses opportunity was the most anti-logic choice you can make.

I hope we throw away the europa league games away. Luiz Ramires Hazard Mata Ba must play every league games that we have left.

Not bringing Ba is so stupid. Like we can count on Torres for tap-in or header. On the fast ball in front of the goal of Hazard, Maybe with Ba running towards the goal, the chance of a tap-in or own goal would have been there.

Why not bringing Ba when we have crosses, free-kicks and Southampton are deep.

I'm not so sure. Ok, last year we won the champion's league with sitting very very very deep with 9 men in front of our box but we didn't play well in a majority of match. When playing higher, we were conceding many goals. I don't see why it would change this year with the same players, Terry Ivanovic Mikel Lampard in the middle.

But how can you press with Terry, Ivanovic, Lampard Mikel.

Especially as Hazard played in a slow tempo mode in the national team.

Especially with Terry and Ivanovic behind them. With Terry Ivanovic, Lampard Mikel in the middle, we can't press.

Well, Terry Ivanovic, it's slow at the back and Mikel and Lampard are slow as well. And we miss Mata and Hazard to run things in the middle. Hazard who can run with the ball, buying time to other players and moving opposing players.

Ba, Ramires or Luiz Hazard have to come in the game.

Shit.

If we can survive this half, it won't be too bad.

WTF Ivanovic.

With this line-up, we will sit deep in our own-half. Terry Ivanovic, Mikel Lampard in midfield. Hopefully, we can reach half-time with a clean sheet, otherwise it could be ugly.

You misunderstood me, I thought he was doing too much power exercise last year and maybe beginning of the season, like doing squat with too much weight. I think the physio have worked on his balance as he's much more balanced now and we can see his shooting technique has improved. But it seems to me he's less stiff now, his shooting more fluid like he has not the same hip lol.

I wonder if he has changed his physical training. It seems to me like he was becoming stiff by adding more muscle and power while in the beginning of his career he was moving like a cat. Now it seems like he's not as stiff as he's agains dancing with and around the ball more easily.

On the one-footed, it's like the chance that Moses had, if he had turn to his left, he could have a better angle to score.
