bluephoenix 1,131 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 the best thing Chelsea did this summer was to buy Mata he shows a hell lot of promise !!! now this jan if we buy the right players I am sure AVB can create a legacy fuck this match.. yes we lost big deal .... we were poor back in the defense. arguably speaking we should have won ... like some one pointed out here ... we were one of the strongest defensive teams in EPL. I am sure AVB would have realized by now that we need to work on our defense ...and I hope we are once again be known for our solid defense... the bridge for our fortress lets rebuild that Ktbffh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 You have to admit that Danny was as bad as Torres.No he was not, at least Danny was getting on the ball. The whole game passed Torres, i struggle to find another player in the Roman era who has had a whole 90 min game without 1 highlight, that is shocking. He had a shocker in the middle of an open game like that against a German defender who was having a shocker for Arsenal. The worst game a player can have is when he hardly touches the ball, i would rather a player touch the ball 50 times and have a shocker then a player who goes through the whole game without being mentioned by the commentators while on the ball. We had 10 men out there today because Torres was no were near the game, he was just on the pitch doing nothing. At least we noticed Sturridge having a bad game because he was giving the ball away, Torres did not even have the ball to give it away lol i am laughing here in absolute amazement. When Droggers has a shocker we know because he misses chances and his control is piss poor. Torres has invented a whole new version of a shocker, my mother asked me if he was playing when in was around the 60 min mark after she watched most of the game with me. Lampard on the other hand is a fucking Legend, he was a midfielder defender and laying the Torres role all in one legend legend legend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Badboy 1,526 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 You know what baffles me ? When they did the opposition analysis did anyone at the club mention that Arsenal have 2 very very quick players in Gervinho and Walcott and that Bosingwa is shit defensively and playing a high line with Ivo and Terry was not a very good idea. Some of the decisions Boas makes are baffling sometimes, like when we went to Old Trafford and we basically did a kamikaze. We played a high line against Hernandez...... Young and Nani. This madness has got to stop because against the bigger sides we will get trounced. Lol i think i am going to start another thread called '' i ''preferred'' boring boring Chelsea'' .

Badboy 1,526 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I'll never forget or forgive what this team has put me through today. So angryThe high line was to blame and that is not JT or Ivo's decision its the coaching departments which includes Boas. Who the fuck thought that Ivo or JT would have a chance against Gervinho Van persie or Walcott in a foot race when these players are making penetrating attacking runs. We made the same mistake against Man utd and we were punished. The high line tactic is for a team like Barca who hardly give the ball away. All arsene had to do was make sure Gervinho and Walcott were coming off the line making runs through the heart of our defense. I am just shocked that our coaches would tell Ivo and Terry to keep a high line against 2 sprinters, it was like watching the Robert Mugabe school of economics show.

Lol i think i am going to start another thread called '' i ''preferred'' boring boring Chelsea'' .Couldn't agree any fucking more, we need to sort this out, City will put 8 past us no joke. The thing is we've got good defenders, we should stop the high defence line and start with build up okay where we have a chance. I get jealous when i watch Man City, United, Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal play, because they dint lose the ball all the time, and it's funny cause we lose the ball 24/7 and were the ones playing a high defence line.........

laura90 556 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 If AVB is set on changing our style and system, and maintaining high defensive line with our current players as his only options, we will see matches like this the rest of the season I'm afraid. Given that most of the players are the same, this is no "Evolution", but a 'Revolution" that will have severe growing pains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The "boring, boring Chelsea" era was a calculated, ruthless, brutal team that didn't take shit. I had a lot more faith and confidence watching them and waiting to win the next game. At the moment, anything can happen wish this side, we've lost 3 already so looks like we're gonna lose at least 8 again but we might score 80 goals n concede 60. Interesting times, if we played like this against Man City, i dread what woulda happened. And yeah BB u make a very valid point about the high line, fuck me could u imagine Messi, Pedro, Villa, Sanchez etc against us in the UCL, they'd have a field day. We woulda got away with it if JT hadn't slipped, think it's about time he sewed Umbro lol but there's no denying we deserved to lose and coulda lost more heavily, they cut through us disturbingly at will. Needs to be sorted out ASAP, can't believe we've gotta wait til April to get revenge on QPR & Arsenal. Maaaan..... too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see AVB seething with rage during the closing stages of the game, as Arsenal continued to waltz into our half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
