chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 That's my point.. not a good sign for RyanGood thing we never signed Pereira then.. in all fairness, he was probably going to be Bosingwa-Mark II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 2,275 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If we take a back seat for a year or two, then become a domiant force in Europe, I can live with that.Time, my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldo 868 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I don't think Ryan has what it takes to replace Ashley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beirut_Blues 306 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I agree that the team is currently shit, but wats the harm in giving avb a full season to build and experiment to be fully prepared next season?Carlo prob should have stayed, but thats in the past, so sticking with avb is a practical option.I mean our threat for fourth is newcastle so we gotta be real shit if we dont make top four... No worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnmontero 78 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's posts like this i despise and i didn't want on my topic, look many on this thread have disagreed with me, but they havent went to the boundries you have just went. Just because i think we need to spend money even if financial fair play is in just to actually get a team because i think what's best, doesn't make me a plastic fan or spoilt as you make me out to be, please if you're going to be like that then don't post on the topic. This is a forum, if we all thought like you there wouldn't be an arguement now would there?, some people have my views some have yours respect other peoples views please.This is true, sorry for my angry post... Everyone has his own opinion and it needs to be respected.It just boils my blood to see all the pessimism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I definitely do not want Andre to get the sack anytime soon, but I am genuinely worried about our chances of getting CL football next season. We are only 5 and 4 points ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool respectively. A defeat on Sunday would mean that goes down even further. Liverpool are capable of beating the bigger teams. They're always up for those games. If they manage to get someone scoring regularly then they'll be able to turn those draws into wins because their defense is superb and they can count on only having to score one or two goals max to win a game.We should be able to get fourth, but our recent performances and lack of desire make me very worried indeed.

JB5GoChelsea 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 of course last defeat was in NovemberIt's all about perspective though. For instance, drawing 3 in a row is equal in points gained to winning one and losing two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,466 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The results we had against City and Valencia are the ones that irritate me the most this season...Those games showed what levels the current team is capable of reaching this season, but we're simply too complacent to keep it going.

This is why I am so worried. Because the team simply does not have the motivation anymore when we play the "smaller" teams. We can't take the game by the scruff of the neck.

That and the way Drogba and co. celebrated after the match, made me feel that our season was going to kick-start from that point...Instead its been all downhill after that...

It was sickening to see us follow that up with the 3 consecutive draws which meant that the win was for nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 This is true, sorry for my angry post... Everyone has his own opinion and it needs to be respected.It just boils my blood to see all the pessimism.It's okay my friend, and i will admit i am negative, but it's because there's such little brightness in the team and the season it's hard not to be really.Yeah, do you remember how Cole supposedly berated the City players after the game? That and the way Drogba and co. celebrated after the match, made me feel that our season was going to kick-start from that point...Instead its been all downhill after that...Agreed, even now we should be playing a lot better, but the team is under performing, i generally believe we are not good enough and not a world class team. We should be playing better, Meireles should be performing better no way is he that bad, and the defence isn't that bad either, Andre needs to sort it out.
