Term-X 7,891 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 A failed Modric bid yes, but I'm happier with the fact that, we signed a player for half of the transfer fee we would have signed for Modric, and with him doing well, rather than losing Mata to another Premier League side, and gambling on Modric for £40m...And tbf, Meireles may not be Modric, but he has done well when called upon...Hugh? .. Mata has nothing to do with Modric, he would play on the wings with Sturridge and Modric would play behind him.Meireles hasn't exactly disappointed, but there is a GULF in class between him & Modric, £40m would have been a bargain.

Rambo 1,729 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Was going to give Mikel MOTM but there's no doubt Mata deserved this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Was going to give Mikel MOTM but there's no doubt Mata deserved this one.I personally think Mikel wasn't needed today. Slowed us down, Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Term-X 7,891 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 If it hadn’t been for the Ramires injury, I’d like to think AVB would have given Lukaku a run around..How is Ramires btw, anyone have any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I personally think Mikel wasn't needed today. Slowed us down, Imo.i think we definitely NEEDED mikel to counter fellaini. and he did that quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Wish Drogba showed more enthusiasm throughout the match...he could have had much more influence, kind of like he showed in the build-up to Ramires' goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 i think we definitely NEEDED mikel to counter fellaini. and he did that quite well.Miereles, even Romeu, could have kept up with Fellani. Both those players give us an attacking edge, they initiate counter attacks and even general ones.I've always defended Mikel's role.. In the old system. This new style, with the high defensive line, and defensive awareness of all the players (Lampard, Mata et al.) all nullified the need for a literal DMF.Miereles is not a DMF. He's a central player, who will attack more than attack, which could've really helped us today. We should've scored more goals and at times we didn't because Mikel still played the "retention" game. This is not needed now. The system can work without such a defensive player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 ya that guy is an idiot i was like come off it!Not as annoying as the ESPN commentator who was like:"Should we put Chelsea in the category of the two Manchester clubs?"No..thank you!

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Im happy that we are slowly building up steam instead of peaking too soon.Any negative that could be thought of today should be forgotten about, we beat our bogey team with reletive ease, we didnt creat at a fast rate like we did at Bolton but we did enough and Everton created fuck all, it was as routine a win as we are ever likely to get.Now when are we getting Tommy's match report?

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I personally think Mikel wasn't needed today. Slowed us down, Imo. he did slow things up a bit in the first 20 or so but he really came into the game and I thought his passing and tackling not to mention his positioning was spot on.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 disagree thought he was excellent...only player who disappointed me was Drogba ..First half he did nothing. agreed, drogs really disappointed me today. Some of his passing was good but he offered very little in the way of a goal threat. Testament maybe to the fact that we don't lump the ball up in search of one player anymore.
