Closed Milan vs Chelsea

[Ramzi 233]

You guys are some of the most ignorant annoying spoiled fools I've ever had the displeasure of reading, the players we have signed are the same ones that you guys were clamoring for when we were in the darkest of times with AVB. Now that we have them you guys are nitpicking the flaws of EVERY single player on our team.

what are you talking about, most of the posts here have actually been peaceful. Just because they aren't having an person orgasm over our preseason doesnt mean they are ungrateful of the new signings

That statement is really lacking in coherency.

The formation was definitely 4-1-4-1 rather then 4-2-3-1, either that or Lampard was out of position for the majority of the game. I tend to think Lampard played very high up the pitch and always looked to move into attacking position because of RDM instruction.

You're probably right, because on ESPN they showed we were playing 4-1-4-1

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.

Coincidence, no? We had a great start to the 10/11 season despite the poor warm up, as the whole team looked fit and confident, and the results reflected that. It took nearly three months before things started to fall apart for us.

Agreed, but I think what you meant to say was "orgasm".

Great choice of word, by the way. Love it.

[Santiago. 1,500]

wow we need some flow and creativity in the central midfield. Cole needs to learn how to fuckin use his right foot. It is are starting lineup losing against a Severely Weakened un-fit Ac Milan side. That is worrying.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Wow, I wanted to rip my eyeballs out during the 90 mins, seriously it's suicidal to watch such a game.

No urgency, tactical inept, low pass rate, can't hold possession.....

I know it's an offside goal and it's only pre-season, but man! Meireles and Lukaku were fucking shyt!

And one thing puzzles me all the time, how can the players in this calibre just simple don't know how to pass?!?! It's the basic skill of kicking a ball, let alone professional level.

TBH, i agree with every thing you stated. But being gone for a month, it is typical for players to have terrible first touches.

relax!

Our new signings were awesome, minus lakaku, but he just needs epl expierence fulltime!

* we def. need another striker! ( we saw torres little flicks were beautiful ) he'll find the net but i dont think he will be a as prolific as drogba EVERRRRRRRRRRR

* We must concentrate on counter attack football our players are very defensive minded! ( rami etc...

* We just cannot let our fullbacks run up the field and leave those holes in defense, brana was our best player!

* Why is RM getting flamed? lampard and Ramirez where just as useless if not worst then RM

tired of this crap.

I hope you are right about the "being gone for a month" thing and the players will shrug off their rustiness soon.

However, to be totally honest, out of all the top teams in Europe, Chelsea always has the poorest first touch and passing skill in general. Our successes were built on our fighting spirits and individual brilliance.

I sincerely hope the likes of Mata, Oscar and Hazard will bring us positive impacts in this aspect.

p.s. I'm not going to criticize our new players and youngsters because simply it's not fair to judge them after just few matches, but I have to say I'm extremely disappointed at Luiz. Reckless, stupid showboating, lacks of concentration. If he keeps doing that, Cahill + JT for me all day long.

Got to admit, am a bit worried with the way we have performed especially against a Milan team that lost Silva, Ibra and had no Ibra or Robinho in starting line up. Hopefully it is nothing major. Last time we lost consecutive friendlies in the 10/11 pre season we ended trophyless. But with this squad I believe these is much more to come, I still would like to see Maicon here and I am 100% for the idea of a new striker. Seeings us sometimes struggle with options going forward this is why I would still like Sturridge to have a big role at us. He is not afraid to have a go at the opposition and brings another dimension and trickery. Sturridge seems to be ignored about in regards to what will be the starting team but I would like to see a trio of Hazard-Mata-Sturridge.

But IMHO it is possible we can win the league but there is a lot of work to be done to take it away from Man City's clutches

Who cares about pre-season game ? Get a grip ppl. Remeber last year pre-season where we haven't conceded a single goal but how our season later look like ?

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Hutcho has been the surprise package for me, could see him in the RB position.

[Blu4Lyf 46]

Never, ever, ever, ever, take the ESPN graphics as truth. They're almost always wrong, never have the formations correct and/or players in the wrong spots. Too many times last season I saw Luiz at RB, Torres at RW, etc. Even when discussing Oscar's arrival they put up the new projected lineup and 1. they showed us playing a 433 and 2. the MF consisted of Lamps Ramires and Oscar and he was lined up at the DM spot

[Tomo 21,733]

The longer you keep saying Hazard has no creativity, the longer you make yourself out to be an idiot Sloth.........

I along with most of the forum disagree with Sloth/Kojo's opinion on Hazard, but is there any need to bring it up on every thread, especially randomenly. Its bad enough the silly argument is all over the Hazard thread.

He initially voiced his opinion on Hazard days ago, time to move on.
