bluephoenix 1,131 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I can't believe no ones mentioned Van Der Vaarts late equaliser... now Spurs are still 5 points above us...because this is Chelsea fc ... we can't always rely on other teams to lose so that we go through.

MGuerreiro 252 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Gosh! Why blame Essien, it happens. It is the team collectively which didnt perform, probably we ran out of gas!Yes, it happens, but after 12 years of professional football you would think that he would know not to stretch his arms up in the box when there is a shot coming in, hell, my 5 year old brother knows that.And I am so disappointed with Drogba tonight, I'm not blaming him for anything, but he came off the bench being the only one fresh on the pitch, and he didn't even try. I will be furious if he starts on saturday.The team just seems so effortless, forget the 2-1 score, losing is not the thing that bothers me the most, it's those players who dare to wear that badge and don't give a fuck about giving a performance or not.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I never said he was bad, he was actually good when he had the ball, plus i only managed to get back 2nd half from football.Yeah I know, I know, I didn't think you had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 or the fact that you were just touting Liverpool as possible threats to us because they WERE beating the r's...No, quote it if you want, i still stand by it!, we have gotta play Tottenham, i'm going to decide our future on that game, if we lose that, then that tiny little chance of us getting into top 4 is over, and then Liverpool and Newcastle are threats for our 5th place, damn is fighting over 5th place even worth it?.

Blue Armour 4,466 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Oh shut up you absolute dickhead, of course it matters, every game does. We need to get as many points as we can, just because they're in a better position than us doesn't mean the game isn't important. You speak so much rubbish.Yes but in the scheme of things, this was the match with the least amount of expectancy.Stop throwing insults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,580 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 We will Fight Against Spurt for the 4th place until the end of the season.the first step will be on Saturday, The Second Against Arsenal-They need to give us the win to drop Tottenham deeper and deeper.

nullabletype 987 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I thought Cech, Cahill, Luiz and Torres were the only players who really offered anything tonight. Bosingwa, Meireles and Essien really bothered me, the rest were non existent. Couldn't honestly say City were great either, they were however worth the win.I actually said to a friend of mine I was texting during the game that tonight seemed like one of those nights were Drogba would come on and provide nothing. Think I was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corlett 202 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yes but in the scheme of things, this was the match with the least amount of expectancy.Stop throwing insults.It was also the match we took the lead in and could've won to close in to Spurs by 2 points.

BlueSunshine 672 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I don't know if the final score would have been any different but it was a really bad mistake by RDM to replace Torres with Drogba,especially since it was our last sub.Like i said during the match,if he wanted to make a sub then Lampard should have been the one to be replaced.When you are only 1-0 up and you are facing City's attack line you can't be sure that everything will go your way,there has to be a plan b in case something goes wrong and it did.You can't just let them hammer you,you have to attack too and the team we had in the last minutes was too defensive and slow to do any damage.We did manage to frustrate City in the first half but imo RDM was the main reason we lost the game with the decisions he made in the second half.

communicate 2,703 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Agreed.Torres' positioning was piss poor today and was the main reason why our attacks looked clueless in the first half. Don't get me wrong, he had a lot of good touches on the ball but he just doesn't get into the box often enough.His positioning is not poor. Torres is a poacher, he always move around looking to move into channels because that is how a poacher play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 this was half expected ,,,finishing 4th will depend on our results in other games ,,,The worry is we have the heaviest fixture list.BUT we are still in the F A cup and the CL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point we simply could not hold the ball at all. We need somebody up top to hold the ball for us so that our defender can have time to rest and Drogba is better at holding the ball compare to torres.

The players who didn't give a fuck are the ones to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 On the bright side for me personally it stops those cunts in red running away with the title and Phil pinocio nose Thompsons face was an absolute fucking treat when those qpr Bastards beat them.

Ollie 4,400 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thought we had it, they weren't even a threat, they were running out of ideas, their crowd was getting agitated, i just can't believe we just did this to ourselves. Please Benfica knock us out the UCL, i love Chelsea too much to want to see this Barca team play us like this. It will be simply humiliating. Please just hurry up and roll on next season, and quick.

Corlett 202 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 This game wasnt important for us.Game against Spurs is what really matters.Also, so if we beat Spurs but lose every other game it will be fine yeah? It's the only game that matters afterall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 For me shouldn't have messed with winning side and left torres, but real culprit is one and only essien!! Damn, how in tghe world are they gifted like that out of nothing!!!! And yeah they might or. Gona should I say werescore, only it would have taken them much more time!! Horrible!! Spurs lose and we lose, tale of our season folks!! Hae these one game decides all, and this Saturday instead of a probable 2pts back, its tyhree and I don't know arsenal have another. One of their famous skids in them which is why we need to stay on fire!As for the game itself, happy withb all, why was studge not there?? (Honestly I don't know was he injured??) And torres great game could have done with better service a la studge, and mierles out and ramires in cm with blamps. Need to have great bcrowd and a stadium full of life sturday and I know we'll win, but with my luck spurs wilend their losing streak against us!! :-P skippin work for this game and prayin for clean 2-0 that'll lead to benfica game! We can do guys, believe!!!! Side note: that's one winand one loss for this current stretch of games we all deemed importnat. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
