nullabletype 987 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Well these three late goals have made it all look easy but it definitely didn't sound to be the case.Based on the commentary, for the best part of 75 minutes we were just as dire as we've been for over a year in terms of creativity.Sigh.Silky football would be great, but I'll take dire 4-0 wins all day long.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 4 goals in the 2nd half not bad!3 in the last 5 mins! Why can't we play the whole game like we play in the final minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lentherussian 86 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Both Ramires goals were Torres assists. thats fine but can we not expect our striker to score once in a while? we were struggling to break doen portsmouth. Hes movement so far this season has been non existent and he cant finish, hence the reason we struggle when he plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I still back him, but André's lack of trust in some of our youth players is disillusioning. Bertrand gets 4 minutes, Lukaku gets 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojo 4,676 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Yes!, good turn around, a nice victory. I really hope this will change mentallity, but i also hope we get that creative midfielder, because we will see Ramires playing better and with more confidence and that's good to see.

Madmax 9,219 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 thats fine but can we not expect our striker to score once in a while? we were struggling to break doen portsmouth. Hes movement so far this season has been non existent and he cant finish, hence the reason we struggle when he playsI don't know how he played (obviously). For all we know he had a stormer and was unlucky not to score, or did nothing apart from two passes that led to goals. Either way, he's made a telling contribution, so let's be happy with that for the moment.Disagree about the movement part, he's much improved in that regard this season whenever he's had a consistent run of games. It's the composure and confidence in front of goal that's lacking sorely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes movement so far this season has been non existent and he cant finish, hence the reason we struggle when he playsHis movement hasn't been bad, he has been making good and fast runs behind defenders, but no one plays him in, Arsenal game for example, if you watched him he was making runs then getting pissed off because no one was passing the ball to him. He was even open twice for a simple square and no one could even gave that to him. Can't blame him for not being confident there, it would still be nice to see a supporting winger and a creative midfielder to help him out. If you've watched the past games he barely makes runs into the box anymore, which is good because now he wont get lost in the game, but i think he will be able to do that if we get a better team to help him.

Chels 238 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Wonder what AVB has to say?Something alone the lines of see we don't need any new players.Nice to win 4 - 0 but it's only pompy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertrand gets 4 minutes, Lukaku gets 2?The 4 & 2 minutes are for 'appearances sake' only, humiliating amount of game time for Lukaku especially.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Considering results against 'easier' sides happy with a 4-0 win.Anyone can beat anyone on any day and seeing as we played piss poor first half...4-0 aint so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 So, 8-0 Barcelona-esque play or bust?did I say that? But some decent passing and movement would be nice. Even the Chelsea TV commentators were frustrated by our awful passing in the 1st half and kept saying over and over that there was simply no precision passing, attacking movement, etc.The three goals at the end definitely seem to flatter us. Job done. Move on. But a creative midfielder is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carefreeluke 27 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Lampard is our top scorer this season I think?Although I agree he shouldn't be playing every game, he should easily be in our current best starting eleven. I like Meireles but I much prefer Lampard over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
