chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Is it just me, or have the fans been singing something like "Jose Mourinhooo" ?Yeah they were!! And while they were at it, they might as well have sung, "we are all plastic fans" right afterwards! ... the only time the supporters come close to showing any real support to the players, and it was something AVB didn't want to hear during the game! Pathetic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 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...Yeah even Drogba was not as good as Torres. All Drogba had was leadership, and nothing else.They both are bad and is because of what you stated.Still don't understand why the club nor AVB managed to fix this with 2 transfer windows this season...ridicules from both!

Blue Armour 4,442 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Its funny how a stadium that sounds like a dog whistle can suddenly start wailing Mourinho's name out loud.....hypocrites..I remember when some of them were singing "Fuck you, Mourinho" when Inter came visiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francozola 2,040 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....Yep that's our biggest problem. Our midfield takes way too many passes. Apart from his bursts and energy, Ramires isn't good with the ball and with a pass. Mikel lol. Meireles poor. Lampard poor. We just haven't got anyone there ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yeah even Drogba was not as good as Torres.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Before this turns into a rant between the Drogba and Torres fanboys, and before I go insane after another 'fucking disgrace' of a performance, I think we can be grateful we even managed a draw. Pathetic display, woeful management from Villas-Boas and again we saw the team completely rely on Mata today. Mikel and Meireles were fucking useless. Can't fault any of the defenders. Kalou and Lampard both did nothing when they came on, and come to think about it, neither did Drogba. Brilliant header from Sturridge, with a cross supplied by the man of the match Branislav Ivanovic. Not at all happy, but we're still in it, which is all that counts.

bababoom 4,478 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 According to Henry Winter (daily telegraph football correspondent) our fans wasn't singing 'Jose Mourinho' it was the Birmingham fans. He also said he asked all the other reporters in the press box and they agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 We need a new fucking midfield, and im not just talking about one player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 If our mids suck then we should move to the 4231. but in all honesty 4231 isn't gonna save our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think the AVB hate for this game is harsh. I'm not saying he's faultless, don't get me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yep that's our biggest problem. Our midfield takes way too many passes. Apart from his bursts and energy, Ramires isn't good with the ball and with a pass. Mikel lol. Meireles poor. Lampard poor. We just haven't got anyone there ATM.Drogba and Torres are always in good positions to be slipped in but instead the midfielder with the ball just passes it sideways.I like Meireles at least he tries to get the ball to them, he just doesn't get enough power on it most times.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Didnt think Drogba was that bad..ran around at least tried to get things going...random 'ow my arm' moment but other then that..And like said..still in it.Only half time and all.Didnt think we'd get a replay way we were going 2nd half so bit of a surprise!

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Two things we can do:sack the manager, because he can't motivate this team, is tactically inept and clueless with his substitutionssack the squad, because they're fucking useless and if they can't be motivated by their wages and the prestige of playing for the club, they shouldn't be playing full stop. Plus they hardly help with their half-hearted performances.One of the options is the easier of the two, but the bottom line is that neither our coach or our squad is good enough.

Personally I think the AVB hate for this game is harsh. I'm not saying he's faultless, don't get me wrong.Oh yeah, we've been seeing the same shit for the best part of 15 months now. I'm near the breaking point, as are many CFC supporters. HOWEVER AVB isn't helping himself with stupid team selections. Why play Mikel and Meireles today? Why not play them when defensive players are needed, like against Napoli? Why not play a more attacking midfield with Essien and Lampard? Why play the Useless Spaniard?

Is what we been saying over and over again.Hence AVB and the board a bunch of fools for negating this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
