dodojojo 510 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 For now, he's absolutely right about the slow tempo. And I think it's more than difficult for players to somehow play faster. It doesn't just happen overnight. AVB really does have to change up the starting team to spark the pace. Don't think it'll happen gradually with some of the players.

Ray. 217 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 As long as we put in 100 % all the time, that's what's important. Age shouldn't be an issue. Look at us 2 years ago and we didn't exactly have a young squad then I don't think and we still were able to win the double. I don't think they can (manure and citeh) keep their tempo up all the time, bloody hard playing consistenly well every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 He's right about the tempo.But fuck him, why should we be bothered about every nobody that gives his comments to the press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justin_3d Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I love it when they write us of.I rather have being written of, then to be declared champions elect like last year..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmarlow 458 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 those kind of comments can only be a good thing for us, they will motivate our players like in the 09/10 season fergie came out and said we were to old then to win the league, with players like Ballack, Carvalho, Deco, J.Cole, Belletti but what happened we won the double! Man u were not exactly young last season were they with players lie van der sar, ferdinand, neville, scholes, giggs, berbatov ect! and what happened they won the PL and got to the CL final! so these kind of comments are not only ridicuous but good for us. if Man u want to write us off then its alot better for us! Our players and Manager know we are more than capable to win the league and as soon as we start putting in some good performances i gaurantee everyone on here will believe Chelsea will win the league! if we go out and batter Sunderland like last season at their place, and then go and win at old trafford then i would like to see who would be writing us off then!

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I agree, to some extent. We have a small chance of winning the league, as I believe the Manchester clubs are ahead of us.I'm not being negative, I'm being realistic. They have greater strength-in-depth, and the worrying thing is both sides already have a handful of players firing in goals from all angles - whereas our joint-top scorer is José Bosingwa.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Can't say I truly expect to win the league, but we have a shot.Honestly I'd just love to smash 'em in the FA Cup final with a Drogba goal in the 116'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 and the worrying thing is both sides already have a handful of players firing in goals from all angles - whereas our joint-top scorer is José Bosingwa.Reason i really wanted Falcao.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 This Chelsea side will again revert to functionality over superb football - this will be a season of grinding out ugly wins. Don't expect many classy performances and certainly don't expect any trophies. This will be a difficult season of transition, and I predict a long, gruelling contest between us and the Manchester clubs will most likely see us come off the worst. There's no shame in being the best of the rest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
