Billy. 2,742 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.it looked like he wanted to stab somebody lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rising Sun 711 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 top 4 only if we beat BOTH, arsenal and totenham.Our fixtures are tough.... arsenal are on too much of a high and have too much quality in play in terms of attacking... they will get third....And even if Totenham lose the plot, we're still 5 points behind them.... meaning we have to beat them and then bear everyone else too....It will be wierd not to be in the CL after so long..... that too after reaching the semis this season...

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Christ it doesn't take too many bad performances for this team to go from the pride of the fans to the drags of football in some of your eyes. How could any manager last with the mood swings our fans have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGuerreiro 252 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 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.Service a la Sturridge? Are you kidding? Did you miss the Leicester game? Or any other game Sturridge has featured in really.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a complete and utter twat, YOU KNOW THAT ? I remember when you admitted that you are a life long Palmeiras supporter, why don't you just fuck off to a Palmeiras forum and have a wank fest with fellow BRAZILIANS about Donaldinho.

Billy. 2,742 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 come on people it was one of those games, we did pretty much nothing in attack got a lucky goal, it was a pen imo and there 2nd goal was just a nicely worked goal. city played that little bit better then us like i said before it was a poor game both teams looked slugish and slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 You can't be a poacher for Chelsea that's why, to be a poacher you need to be in a team what has... creativity, Chelsea don't know what that word is, infact Ron Gourlay banned the word i heard.I agree with what you said. In our system a striker has to play as a target man and Torres is simply not a target man type player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,466 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 It was also the match we took the lead in and could've won to close in to Spurs by 2 points.We took the lead through a fluke goal, and survived with a clean sheet till that point even with our best defenders Terry and Ivanovic absent.If you were dead sure of a win before the match, then I can't console you.

Superblue 6,372 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Disappointing given the late goals. I felt RDM set us up well. A lot of us (me included) were getting carried away before the game wanting us to play two up top, etc and take the game to City, but packing the midfield and trying to keep things tight and organised was the best way of getting a result, and frustrated City for large periods.I felt starting with Torres was the right call as well. He worked hard, and surprisingly won his fair share of headers against Richards. Took the pressure off us at times. Drogba didn't do anything when he came on - didn't even chase down the defence. I know he's 33/34 but he was only on for 20 mins!I do agree with the remarks about our midfield. I don't think Mikel did too bad, but Meireles and Lampard were dreadful tonight, and Essien also poor when he came on. We do miss Ramires' energy in the centre when he doesn't play there. Unfortunately the goals could have been avoided. The penalty was a tad harsh but Essien was always running the risk having his hands up and Lampard didn't track Nasri sufficiently.I said before the game 4 points from City and Spurs would be required to keep up a push for top 4 but that was with the expectation that Spurs would win tonight. 3 points Saturday is a must and then the pressure really will be on Spurs.

Kojo 4,676 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Di Matteo has still done well regardless, don't let this result bother us, infact i'm glad we only lost 2-1, i was fearing much worse with Cities fire power. We have to forget this though, just get it out of our system, go into next game and play.Not putting Sturridge on was a good decision in my opinion, he's not a good player when it comes to wanting to defend and such.

Blue Armour 4,466 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 His positioning is not poor. Torres is a poacher, he always move around looking to move into channels because that is how a poacher playYes, but even poachers run forward, rather than wait by the side for a pass.

BlueSunshine 672 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 It's easy to complain about RDM sub mistake after the game. 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.I don't complain about the sub after the game,i was against it during the game aswell.Torres didn't have a good game but we needed him if something went wrong and we had to score another goal.Now if we had another sub then it would make more sense to me but RDM wanted to play safe and replaced one striker with another with his last sub.Lampard should have been subbed instead with Ramires taking his place in the midfield and Sturridge in the right wing 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 Service a la Sturridge? Are you kidding? Did you miss the Leicester game? Or any other game Sturridge has featured in really..Well would be better than what Ramires offered, with really only one great genuine cross. Atleast with Studge he creates mismatches and hey never know it will rebound to Torres or he will actually cross. Best we got at moment, and he cretes his own luck that we would need vs a team like man city at their place. Prob could have worded it better however!
