DYC. 7,542 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 We're too narrow. It's very risky but we'll need the fullbacks to push vey high up the pitch. Keep Ramires deep as he can use his pace to deal with counter-attacks.We'll need to be very patient and keep the ball but we do have to take more shots, we're trying to pass the ball into the goal right now. And we need players to make more runs behind their defence, Torres is the only player doing that.Hazard's not looking good. Maybe Moses should come on for him.

Amblève. 4,995 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 We need a better focal point. I don't know what Torres brings to the team. Gets a great chance and doesn't even kick the ball...No, let's blame the Stoke defenders for not marking him, Mata for playing such a brilliant pass to him, the Illuminati and CIA and everyone else on Earth. He couldn't do anything about that miss, DON'T YOU KNOW?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Luiz, there is a reason why you play center-back...Really? Anyway it's been ok, not bad at all imo, just hard to get through. I still think we'll win it, we look like cutting through them. Just wish Torres would remember how to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Some will say Torres played decent in that half, but that would be very, very, generous.He had one clear chance and fluffed it, and his vision has been terrible.Moses up front and center next half please.

Milan 17,957 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 there is absolutely no wing play. Marin and Moses, where are you?!We are doing every our attack through the middle, where there are about 8 Stoke players. No chance of scoring. And if we create some magic, like Mata did, still no goal because Torres is literally shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalBlues 2,817 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Stoke have had more possession... fucking hell.BBC are strange, the stream said I was watching said we had 64% which seems more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 It was the same last season on our opening game against Stoke, we played everything through the middle and Stoke where just blocking everything. Kalou instead of being on the touchline was just making runs through the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Luiz did great at the back, but please stop kicking those long range passes and taking ridiculous long shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmpr 8,977 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 How can someone say shit half? i thought we played great, all that was lacking was a goal...Yes, but the goal is the most important factor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HNKS 508 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 How can someone say shit half? i thought we played great, all that was lacking was a goal...A goal is all that matters. We have been bad in the final third. And once we get to the last 10 minutes you get Ashley Cole and Luiz shooting from stupid distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Of course it was a shit half. Like most of you blabbered on about when we beat Barcelona; possession doesn't win you games, goals do.We haven't scored, and they've come closer to scoring than we have by hitting the crossbar.Just because we're finally putting passes together doesn't make it a good half, and just because we haven't conceded doesn't make it a good half.We're European Champions... against Stoke City. What have they won trophy-wise? Exactly. They're not exactly showing brute force today either.We should be winning; no excuses. I'm sorry but people need to raise their standards on here.
