Chelsea? 892 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 rather 1-1 than having one of our rebels score a goal. First time in my life I can remember feeling like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojo 4,676 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 So we drawn 1-1 against a Championship team with a full strength squad, fucking ridiculus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicrico 175 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 This season will collapse. I think Napoli will rape us like Milan did arse based on our for,. We will be exposed. Birmingham will do us, and I don't think we will get 4th. Don't know whether AVB will go or not. If all that happens, which is likely, He might aswel stay to implement his changes.....Do i think he'll make it until then if that happens? Hell No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Had a feeling we'd draw..until the last few mins and thought we'd fuck it u.We are so rubbish against B'Ham!! Improved a bit 2nd half but still...dodgy defending for set pieces!! Drogba's presence got things going it seemed.Good to see him raring to go and all.Tough replay ahead....ESPN coverage is really random.Random moments where you just see players despair faces inoring the fact the game is still going on!

bababoom 4,478 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Gourlay shaking his head at the end of the match... doesn't look good for AVB.I don't want AVB to go, but this performance is not good enough. God knows why he didn't buy some more players in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Gourlay shaking his head at the end of the match... doesn't look good for AVB.I don't want AVB to go, but this performance is not good enough.God knows why he didn't buy some more players in January.Yup pretty much.As being stated before, AVB has been naive and arrogant, and that most likely will cost him.I wish he gets another season, but i felt the same with Carlo and he still got sack...

Blue Armour 4,443 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 From what I saw, Drogba was also getting frustrated like Torres because of the crap from midfield. Certainly he can do more than the Spaniard in such situations, but even he was getting pissed off.So many times I saw him bend his body waiting to chase the through ball, only to end up raising his arms in despair because the midfielder (eg. Meireles) played a sideways pass. Then there was the annoying long ball tactic. Just because there's a person with Drogba 11 on his shirt, doesn't mean you keep hoofing up the ball every oppurtunity.And if AVB ever thinks of choosing Meireles to start, I hope he thinks again...because between the two the Portuguese is far worse atm...

francozola 2,040 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Not too bothered by this one surprisingly. I guess I'm already on hibernation mode til the summer. Wasn't nearly as bad as the commentators made it out to be. Yes, we were AWFUL, but it's basically the same performance that has been going on for 18 months, since Carlo. Defensively apart from the goal I thought we were okay. Cahill did a good job. Luiz was pretty solid too. Ivanovic did a great job against redmond, didn't even give him a sniff of the ballMidfield was very poor.Torres was atrocious, glad he was taken off. Sturridge was poor til the goal. Mata good in the first half, disappeared in the second. Understand why he was taken off. Drogba, lampard and Kalou all shitNo creativity, no ideas.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I really fear for AVB's job... I mean, it's never good when the fans are chanting Mourinho's name during the match... there will be some parting attacks by AVB if he ever does get sacked... which is getting more and more likely with every game we don't win!I feel for him, because, although his tactical changes are piss poor, it's the players who are supposed to get out there and perform well, which they are FAR from doing!Also, how the FUCK does Meireles play so shit, yet he manages to play the whole game?? Is AVB in love with Meireles or something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 after today: 4231 IS A MUST! Raul M. our midfield 2 should be ramirez and essien and forwards of Kalou Mata, Danny and Drogs. Kalou is starting 11 again. felt like decades when we wanted his head. AVB WAS supposedly FREAKING SHAKING ON THE SIDELINE. YOU GIVE A GUY THIS JOB AND GIVE HIM THIS LITTLE SUPPORT. THE some of Veterans that are supposed to help lead the team are turning on him, the fans seem to think jose will fix everything. YOU FREAKING BRING IN A 34 YEAR OLD, SUPPORT HIM!

RCG 6 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Is it just me, or have the fans been singing something like "Jose Mourinhooo" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Oh yeah! Forgot about the Jose mourinho chanting. What a disgrace. Was completely embarrassed that they were actually singing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The thing is as well...the team he picked should've been capeable of getting a decent result! And yet you couldnt really tell which side was premier league and which one was championship.B'Ham played so much better then us espically 2nd half.Mean least 2nd half we started to look more like a team but still.Dodgy moments!And agree about the Jose chants..embrassing.The guy can hear and all! Not exactly gana inspire him in anywaybad as it was...we didnt loose.Got a replay which we need mega luck in really but...could've been worse.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Would be nice for a change to see Mata/ST/Sturridge slipped in behind the defence by one of our midfielders.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 And let's not kid ourselves, we've been playing this way even when Carlo was the manager. AVB didn't just enter into a wonderful team playing attacking football and MAKE them play this way. They've been like this for quite some time.AVB has quite a few flaws, but I still support him.

Chelsea? 892 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 AVB shouldn't be in charge of transfers probably. Chelsea should probably let a guy that knows how to asses a team's needs bring people in. YOU CAN'T LET A 34 YEAR OLD RUN CHELSEA. that's crazy. I hope Ron was shaking his head at the players not the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
