headhunter23 70 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Will essien be back for our next game?I heard mid january, so probably within the next 2-3 weeks, in either case it will be a major boost for our leaky defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Sure it was a win but far from impressive in any aspect. We are in dire need of a RB, creative midfielder or winger and a CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chels 238 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thank fuck for that.Still a hell of a lot to do but it's a start to the new year.Also why can't we create any clear cut chances for torres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola kinda blue 89 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 if not for torres, we might have lost. he created most of the chancesYep but Wolves were poor for a Wolves teamJust dont mention how much like the wigan game this was - loads of possession, plenty of chances.Difference was we actually took 2 of themJust dont mention how 2 wolves players both got unmarked headers in at the end!

chrismada9 1,948 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 if not for torres, we might have lost. he created most of the chancesI agree.. apart from constantly going wide, particularly in the first half, he had one of his better games today! Pity he couldn't score though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Drog 1,110 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Still problems. Jose Bosingwa's defending for the Wolves goal was comical, still not enough of a cutting edge and its a sad indictment of the squad that our replacement winger for Sturridge is central midfielder Ramires. Still though the negatives aside it was a hard fought and crucially important win.It was fantastic to see the lads celebrate with AVB and the backroom staff, clearly they believe in what AVB is trying to accomplish at the club, give him the time and the financial backing and I think we will be a genuine superpower again. Some good performances all round.Cech made an incredible last minute save. Terry and Luiz both played well at the back, Cole defended very well and got the assist for the winner with a vintage Ashley Cole cross, Romeu shielded the back four well and distributed the ball as well as we have come to expect, Lampard scored a typical Frank Lampard goal, Ramires is quite breathtaking to watch, the sheer energy he provides, whether it be out wide or in the middle is so crucial to the side, Mata was far better today than against Villa, drifted inside, created, linked up the play, it was a polished display from the Spaniard.But my pick for MOTM is Fernando Torres. I haven't been his biggest fan, his displays have often left me downright depressed but today he was excellent. Dropped deep, drifted out wide, ran the channels, ok he probably isn't the goal threat that we expected but his general play was far better tody than he is usually given credit for, his passing was slick and clever, his movement very good, his ideas quite creative, his ball through to Cole set up the winner and he was rightly applauded for that by his teammates, his work rate was top notch and like the Torres during his Liverpool prime, got about the pitch and made his presence felt. It is probably too soon to say that "now Torres is back" but it is an encouraging display. Something that I did think in the game though was, if we got 2 wide men who offered genuine penetration and pace down the flanks and actually stayed out wide and we got a creative player in the middle of the pitch, it would stretch back four's giving Torres more space to run into between full back and centre back and if we had a creative player behind him (Mata) he would be able to slip the passes into Torres and there would be no need for him to drop as deep and play as the creative player. But until we sign the quality players required, that is just a dream. Anyway important, and in some respects, encouraging win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Lets hope for an arsenal loss to put us back into the top 4 No chance Robin Van Persie FC will be able to get all 3 points, because there striker RVP will do all the work again.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 fuck me, drogs is going to the cup of nations as well, do you know how long he is gone for?some fitness problems - nothing more. Think we would have gone with a 4-4-1-1 or 4-5-1 for longer otherwise. Played all right with it today, most of the half-time attack was interrupted by the ref's stupidity with what is and what is not a foul, pretty much messed up our mometnum in our attacks.

Madmax 9,219 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Luiz was very good too, doesn't get mentioned when he does well but gets a tap from everyone and their dog on a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Maybe we should convert Torres to a No. 10 role? He seems to be the one making the killer passes then what we wanted other people to do for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Luiz was very good too, doesn't get mentioned when he does well but gets a tap from everyone and their dog on a mistake.I agree. He played well against Villa too, but that moment during their 2nd goal ruined it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 just one question- which team was bosingwa playin for today? not just the goal we conceded was the moment he was at fault but even the first chance that wolves had (a header in first half) was abysmal.
