CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I thought Lukaku was terrible up until Torres came on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Few thoughts now it's over:Dominated the majority of the first half, but seriously paid for it by not converting the possession into chances. Also looked very susceptible to the counter attack. David Luiz couldn't hit a barn door with his passing tonight, it was awful which was frustrating because they were passes that he didn't need to try. Hazard and Marin looked like the players that could make something happen but the play was far too narrow (Ramires and Hazard guilty in the first half).Probably not enough commitment, perhaps a little complacent, perhaps even a bit fatigued.

Waterfall 893 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Can't wait for Oscar and Mata to come back and organize the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django 83 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Never nice to lose to anyone, but not shameful by any means. The progression is there and I'm optimistic about our chances of getting 4th next year (which should be the goal in my view). Hope we can smash a few past Brighton and get everybody on a high again!

Django 83 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Remember the pre-season before the 2010/2011? Won only one game and lost the rest. Many tried to rationalize it with what people are currently saying on here. During the season we have are worst run of results in winter and win nothing in the season.Thought I might just let you know that.Also came 2nd. I'd take that.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I hope Lukaku fucks right off on loan. Can't believe we payed something like 18 million for him. Meireles shouldn't be anywhere near the First 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic! 301 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Of course it does mate, and he did had a good game. But you have reckon Lukaku was pretty bad.Lukaku was bad indeed, but so was Torres. But yes, Torres is ofcourse a much better striker than Lukaku. If you do want to maximize potential though this year, you need to go with Torres, Sturridge and Lukaku. Torres won't feel threatened and the other two would get a decent amount of minutes to develop.I don't think buying a new (top) striker is the solution. It might hurt the club more in long term. Buying Oscar might have been a solution, because the delivery (so far) simply hasn't been up to scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSunshine 672 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 We don't have the right midfielders to play in double pivot in a 4-2-3-1 formation.The sooner Robbie realises that the better for us.As much as i hate to see Mata and Hazard play as wingers i believe that the best formation with the players we have at the moment is 4-3-3 with Mikel,Ramires and Oscar playing in the midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Lukaku played almost 4 full games.. almost 4 games.

Nic! 301 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Lukaku played almost 4 full games.. almost 4 games. Torres should have come on before half time..Torres wasn't fit for more than 30 minutes. Can't risk injuring your best striker two weeks before money time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babeul 6 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 A really bad game, only a few verticals towards the attacker and they were slow and without ideas.Luckily it was the pre season! KTBFFH :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Final pass, final pass, final pass. We need to really get this right.I think we have a problem with goal scorers. Danny on the right or Moses might be our best option at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oman43 45 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Pre-season is useful for the team to bond and from the information coming out of the camp that is happening. It isn't completely over yet and although we lost two games in America it not time to become drastic. I mean people claiming we need so many MORE new players is stupid, we have the squad, give it time and we will be ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cz4rny1337 24 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Where all of you see "new style"? It was that awful 4-4-1-1. What a shit. I really wanted to have "Chelsea Guardiola" in RDM, but if he will be play deep every game, and without any style or tactic change we will have Guardiola in Chelsea. :|.

shellpick 13 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Even we have bought 19-year-old drogba he could not offer more than lukaku did these days. 'cause this kind of centre forwards need time to develop and few are starring at that very young age. lukaku is not for now but for the future. let's ignore him and focus on the rw. it is a waste of talent for ramirez to play rw and it is also a bad choice for the team. nearly no threatenning opportunities were created from the right side. we need a top class rw. though hulk may be too costy, we still need to find another one like him if we give up targeting him.
