Styles 9,790 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Instead of improving in every pre-season game we have got steadily worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I like that we tried the 4-3-3 but playing Ramires on RW doesn't make sense when you're already playing 3 CM in the midfield. However, we didn't have any attacking mids available other than Hazard. Looking forward to get Mata back Lukaku showed some nice things, hopefully he gets to play a lot this season on loan wherever he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django 83 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Depressing all round. Hopefully once we get to Wigan on the 19th there'll be a turn around. Can't really know anything until the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. 2,742 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 ill be honest losing this game dont bother me at all, its just the fact we only had like 3 decent shots on goal, gotta be said aswell Hazard looks a little lost on the wing think we might have a problem with that as it looks like he wants to play the no.10 role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 A lot of problems. The first 2 goals in the game show the good and bad of Ramires. Great in the counter attack but then his dreadful control gives Brighton the ball and they score. Their second is dreadful defensively. The third is even worse. The 4-3-3 didn't work. The 3 man midfield is plodding, hard working but distinctly average on the ball. Then a lack of width and penetration down the flanks didn't help. I also don't think the 4-3-3 is Torres favoured formation. There are players to return. Mata and Oscar are so important to get integrated into the side as soon as possible. Romeu would be a good option in midfield and Stirridge is a very good option to have as a striker. On top of that there's Marin and maybe 1 or 2 signings. I think another quick winger and a technically good attacking right back are important to get into this side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Roman should amend RDM's contract, and add a clause which releases him automatically if he plays the 4-3-3 ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Right that's it, i've seen the light, GET RID OF TORRES, GET SOMEONE ELSE IN, I CAN'T PUT UP WITH THIS CABBAGE UPFRONT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Well that was fun. I assume there's a hit out on me now where all my future posts are dismissed etc.Similar to Kojo. (Apologies for bringing you into this.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 We'll win against City and no sarcasm. I truly believe all we lacked was motivation and a few key players. It's a pre-season friendly and a loss - so what? Atleast we saw we had problems and we've got a month to fix them. If we don't then it's a whole another story. Not the end of the world guys, shape up and get behind your team. I've noticed from the quality and maturity of our average posts on this forum that our member base has gone alot younger. Keep a clear mind and be objective not lash out. Move on, bring on Community Shield! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuf 1,448 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Ever heard of a paper round?Well this is embarrassing. "To not see" was actually written with perfect grammar & spelling.LOL. Now a lying bastard? Just ask anyone on here - Last week my flag was the Brazil flag, and the week before that the English flag.Yet again, an invalid 'point', if you could even call it that.Oh really? I seem to remember you making reference to my join date and then suggesting I hadn't seen many, if any, games before this season. Correct?Ever heard of the travelling costs, accomodation, food and the differences between money value in various countries?I'll try not to see your mistakes.Yeah, I bet that if I asked people around they would all know what the fuck you're changing since you're such a star around here. Besides, it says "nationality" for a reason.I wasn't suggesting anything, as I wrote, I was WONDERING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daBlackMamba7 174 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 @Bir_CFC you seem to have forgotten Piazon, he played on the left of 4-3-3 for the youth team, we could have easily played him on the left, Hazard on the right and Ramires his natural position...We have the personnel they were just played in wrong positions or not all...Well i am off to watch Oscar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ljpaddock 187 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 How can the bright, young, gifted, hazard at Lille have changed to the standard slow build up 5 yard left or right pass Chelsea midfielder in just 4 games is pretty impressive, Meireles must have been training him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 We'll see the real Chelsea next week. I'm not judging the score line until we play a serious match, the one against City for example. Pre season's over now, time for the lads to step up, win those 50/50 battles, concentrate and play to win. P.S. Jim, we need better servers.

Stats 7,142 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I am fucking pissed off with the result have to admit. Regardless that it is a pre-season game we are the Champions League winners, fielded a very strong team and would like to see some pride at least for god sake. Three games lost in a row, does this look good going into the season, NO. Remember just before beginning of 10/11 we lost three consecutive friendlies against Ajax, Frankfurt and Hamburg. Oh, the guess what, we had the community shield a week later against Man United. What was the score, 3-1 United.Did we go on to win anything that season? No we did not, so we can't just ignore pre-season games, judging by what I have seen a lot of work needs to be done and as shown in previous years as I have mentioned, we need to look at these games and see where we went wrong. Because judging by our defence pre-season, even against the likes of Seattle was appalling and jsut imagine against the likes of Silva, Tevez and Aguero. Hope we improve starting from next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
