Badboy 1,526 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 We really lack a creative player, i really get one lol because that was poor. Kalou is Garbage and i could not stop laughing when he got subbed in the 34th minute, i remember when that happened to him in another game OH YEAH IT WAS AGAINST LIVERPOOL IN THE CHAMPIONSLEAGUE, he still made the first 11 in the next game though.

Tortilla9 390 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Poor piss game despite the win. 3 points but feels like a loss. Against a better opposition we would have conceded 3 at least... WBA crapped 2 amazing chances.Yes, a lot of you praise Torres for his effort, but effort alone wasn't enough... I can remember only 1 good dribble by him, the others he fucked up... he tried too hard and failed many times, that's the reason he was taken off to be replaced by an even poorer Drogba. And despite the goals Malouda and Anelka were shit.Not Torres best game, not his worst. I think he kept trying to make something out of nothing because he couldn't get involved in the game. Some teammates clearly can't or won't see him on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinctek 469 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 we also keep forgetting D.S will be back game after next him up front with torres should be good . he brings something extra to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 It was a classic guys. They parked the bus and we couldn't break through it due to lack of creativity and pace. I hope AVB realizes this and stops saying we are good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Honestly I think that this result is better than a 2-0 win in terms of moral. AVB's subs were brilliant and we played very well in the second half....I'm a happy man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Shoulnt get carried away because bosingwa, malouda were utter shit despite combining nicely for the winner.Lamps was missing as usual. Dear god how has he become so poor in such a short space of time?!Don't know why so many of you were disappointed with ivan coming on. Thought it was a great change even at the time. Alex was clearly struggling.Drogba was shit. Didn't look bothered. Should have kept Torres on.AVB still has A LOT of work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo 1,729 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Why we played poorly especially in the first half is very simple. Lack of penetration in opposition's final third and horizontal passing and lack of movement was responsible for the shambolic display. we saw a different Chelsea in the 2nd half and AVB should take the credit for it. People should stop overreacting as we played well in the 2nd half and things can only get better from here.Well said. People aren't giving the credit West Brom deserves as well, I thought their defense was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And despite the goals Malouda and Anelka were shit.Kalou's ceiling is reserves, tops.I wouldn't really put Torres as one of the worse today, because the team in general were quite bad, and in comparison to the team he was OK could of done better but hey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnie_666 1,081 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Atrocious First Half.Nothing has changed from last season. Same Formation, Same Players only different manager.Which begs the question, did chelsea do the right thing by firing Ancelotti.? They could have brought in Mata and Modric for Carlo too....But anywaysGood: Hilario, Ramirez, Mikel, Bad: Drogba (Was he even playing?), Lampard, Ugly: Kalou. I have absolutely no clue why he starts...Torres, was decent and much much better than Drogba but the midfield with a Poor Lampard is just dire. Absolutely no creativity.Malouda and Anelka were OK.

bluephoenix 1,131 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Still believe in AVB he turned things around in the second half. A very very good move of removing Kalou sooner than latter and I think that did the trick LOL.DD looked very indifferent, not the DD I knew from last season.

AVB's subs were brilliant and we played very well in the second half....I'm a happy man There were about 10 minutes of sublime play and the rest was ruffshod. I wouldn't go as far as to say played very well but the first half was so poor that by comparison the second half must have looked like Barca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 When Kalou was subbed after 34 minutes, i thought of this forum lol. Credit for AVB for not bottling his public humiliation. Now AVB knows surely that's he's not Chelsea material and he needs to get rid and replace ASA f'n P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Why be ungrateful for the goal he scored?I'm not ungrateful. Heskey scores goal should we buy him? oh and let's forget about his overall performances, only his goals...yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Ramires at the moment is probably our best player. Lampard is past it and Drogba looks like he is going that way too. END OF AN ERA GUYS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justin_3d Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 AVB will buy Mata and maybe Modric and all the problems will be solved.It's the same thing we where asking last season when Carlo was in charge.AVB is not superman to make this same squad tittle competitive.He has to spend, or will get the sack if he sticks with this same squad!

magic weeds 446 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Trust me Modric will bring something different to our play. and one question I have: What did Drogba do on the pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Torres was poor in the sense he was playing a different game from his teammates. Individually he was better than Drogba. But the team is more fluent with Drogba. AVB needs to get them all on the same page. Or Chelsea should have kept Ancelotti and he would have started the same XI from last year. Probably would have gotten the same result or better and saved Roman his 13M pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Are we talking about the same Anelka that was our main threat offensively in the match. . . .He was making the right runs and penetrating west brom's defence. let's give credit where it's due. Drogba, Lampard, Alex and Kalou, our worst performers, are the guys to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
