CHOULO19 24,332 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. Who are you and what have you done to the real Sloth?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yes, but even poachers run forward, rather than wait by the side for a pass.He tried to run forward a couple of times but the ball never came, our mid for some reason simply cannot do a lob through pass.Torres always2 want a through ball but our players always pass the ball to his feet.There is no point complaining about this, this has bee a problem for our mid and torres all season.

Corlett 202 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 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.You're right. We never had a chance. Don't know why we even travelled up there, what a waste of fuel. /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teignman 441 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I was more upset by how we lost than the actual loss itself. Got a scruffy goal and thought we would at least get something out of this. I would say Citeh were the better team on the day, but that's not saying much. It was a very winnable game. One area of deficiency that stuck out to me, was our inability to keep possession. We gave the ball away cheaply far too many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofchelseadom 41 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Did their best. Hey might have won it too, but Man city too good. Tottenham really is a must win game otherwise 4th spot is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 We saw the best of Chelsea under RDM and now we just witnessed their worst.Chelsea never seemed to threaten City and could have lost by a bigger goal margin.Honestly it was a very monotonous display by some players while players like Mikel and Mata did the best they could.Lampard and Bosingwa were just terrible today while the others had a mediocre kind of performance.In simple words,the better side won today.

But a chance is nothing more than that.And please don't reply...There's a "chance" your next post will be more annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 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 wingLike I said,RDM had to do something to give us a little bit more time on the ball because we were being attacked like crazy by city. In the end it did not work but I understand that he had to do something.Btw I am pretty sure that if we had one more sub, he will bring danny in after we concede the 2nd goal not before because it is too risky to bring danny when you are being pinched in your own half like that.

Ortiv 42 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I think we all readjusted our expectations a little too quickly. If memory serves me right, we haven't signed any new player since AVB left. The new manager effect can only take you so far. Talent has to complete the journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
