manpe 10,861 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Negatives:1. Dodgy defending. The first goal especially is just pure sloppyness from Ivanovic.McEachran* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 How is it overreacting? a couple players did very well, it doesn't matter if it's preseason or not, a good performance is a good performance. And against a side who were clearly fitter than us.And saying there's no correlation between preseason and in season performance is just not accurate.They need to be playing well in games like these to properly prepare for the new season.There is no correlation. McEachran was our best player last pre-season and he had a lost season. Malouda played well in the pre-season and he was probably our worst player during the year. Mata was our best player and didn't even play in pre-season. The leading scorer for Man City in last' year's World Football Challenge was Wright-Phillips. Fredrico Mechada had two goals for ManU. It just doesn't mean anything. When people say "so and so had a good or bad game" that's normal and fine, it's the making generalizations on the overall quality of a player based on pre-season matches which is ridiculous.

royg 96 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Positives from the new guys and some of our young lads! :blue scalf:Hazard - Very good in dribbling and balance. Will be an exciting season for CFC having such a wonderful player.Marin - Very pacey and good in dribbling though he looks like he wants to impress RDM but little bit selfish in some moment but very good overall performanceKDB - Bit unlucky but i see him a good fit for deep-lying playmaker rather than a wide player.Josh - With his 2 assists is great and his error will do him so well that he will be more careful next time.Hutch - Solid at the back... maybe a 4th string CB for himTodd Kane - Very impressive IMO. he will be good for the future if not given oppty this seasonPiazon - He showed some good movement, maybe if he could play at his regular wide roll will do some more good.Overall it was good 1st game performance for the young lads!

GoranZg 56 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Few short notes from the match (the way I saw things)- Lukaku is new Drogba, boy just needs a proper chance. We don't need Cavani or anyone else. The boy should stay as an alternative to Torres.- Hazard will prove himself as a great buy- Marin is quick as lightning, has a good tehnique too, but is a bit selfish- McEachran is ready to be included in the first team. Chalobah too- All we need is right winger. Lucas, perhaps, as 90% of our actions are coming from the left. We're too predictable- Luiz is developing into top world defender- We ain't gonna win shit this season, but there is a exciting future ahead of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored a lot in preseason last year, and went on to score 30+ goals last season.Now, i know having a good/bad preseason does not necessarily mean that will be the case when the proper season starts, but as a player you want to do well in preseason, impress the manager and carry that good form/momentum into the new season.

He needs a solid loan before starting for us.I think when Juan Mata comes back that we will we have a lot of variation in attack with mata and hazard roaming it wont matter what wing we decide to attack from.How can you say we ain't gonna win shit this season... because last season we weren't ment to win the champions league oh wait we did....

It was only against an MLS team(no offence). We will find out more about them when we face PSG and Milan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Really excited about Lukaku, hope we don't send him on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 lukaku is a good striker and very drogba-ish in his way of play but the lad needs to learn team work more than any shit. first of all he gave that fa cup statement saying i dont wanna hold the cup and today after marin scored instead of celebrating he was sulking as he was not given a pass(just noticed this in the highlights).

Chelseapony 76 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Just got back from the game. The view was surprisingly good for cheap seats.The stadium is beautiful, seeing Chelsea live in person was a dream come true. The food is ridiculously high priced. Overall a fun night!

jmarlow 458 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hazard looks like he will be world class very very soon! and then the prospect of Hazard playing with Mata and Oscar as well is mouth watering! plus with Marin in there as well! Torres will be loving it! I cant wait till the season starts!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranZg 56 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 How can you say we ain't gonna win shit this season... because last season we weren't ment to win the champions league oh wait we did....Well, that's my opinion and there is nothing malicious in my statement. Don't get so frustrated about it. We are obviously rebuilding and that is natural process. This season is right time as we achieved all what we prayed for. It will be difficult for us to battle more experienced teams, but that's ok. We are going in right direction.Imho, this kids don't need a loans, they need a chance. Lukaku, Kakuta, Piazon, Marin, Oscar (if he signs), McEachran, Chalobah... let 'em taste more first team action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
