Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 The sole reason RDM isn't playing defensive wingers is because Oscar provides so much good defensive work from the #10 position.Mata is just on another level but its pretty obvious we've yet to see the best of Hazard or Oscar, very excited.

klopfzeichen 78 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Roman visits training quite frequently, doesn't mean he actually has a major say in tactics and team selection. Don't be daft.WTH! I never said he has a say in team selection or tactics. I just implied that a little bit of clear the air talks and just a tad of pressure have worked wonders. :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddish-Blue 2,506 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Are Hazard and Mata wearing the same boots?I'm guessing they are Nike Mercurial superfly III or Mercurial Vapor III boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,489 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 you can be critical of Fernando's performance as he missed two absolute sitters but the distinct change in his style of play yesterday was heartening to see. not only did he provide a cushion to link up with but he even made the runs behind the norwich back four. he should ve scored but still it was great to watch. well timed header too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,142 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Our performance yesterday received so much praise from people, including MOTD. They captioned our performance as 'Chelsealona' , while we have our own ID it made me pleased that we are getting acknowledged for the attacking football we can/do produce as RDM received many critics about his defensive style of play. Quite enjoying watching our team play as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshmercury 20 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 lets put things into perspective liverpool looked awesome against the same team last week.We played well. A rather customary win for a team challenging for the title, nothing more nothing less.On another note really worried about terry although luiz has looked solid enough though.

Quite enjoying watching our team play as well but they did highlight one aspect of our play. we are a very narrow team. if we rely on our full backs for width against bigger sides, we might get exploited ( atletico ) . but we are retaining possession better. luiz has reduced his Hollywood passes recently and we are knocking it around the opposition rather than stick it up top. good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 you can be critical of Fernando's performance as he missed two absolute sitters but the distinct change in his style of play yesterday was heartening to see. not only did he provide a cushion to link up with but he even made the runs behind the norwich back four. he should ve scored but still it was great to watch. well timed header tooI was really pleased with his movement.He now has eye contact with his teammates before making his runs behind the defence. Making them understand the kind of pass he is looking for.I was really glad on how he was determined to get ahead of the defender and head the ball in the net. Previous games he will be outside the box or in the wings, but he attacked it this time.His hold up play was even better as he didn't lose the ball too much today like most games this season. He didn't dribble stupidly so I was so glad, he even passed quickly to hazard and ran foward for the return but the keeper saved. All that was left is his finishing, he needs to finish one on ones. He may not get 3 chances against the big teams so he must score when put through with the keeper. David villa will teach him during the international break :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I'm not disappointed with Torres...3 (real) chances, 2 on target and 1 goalFrom what my eyes can remember, plus a cheeky overhead attempt - that's not bad! Many other strikers would do worse So few more weeks in training to get the guys playing him in more and we should be good Would still like another striker in Jan though, if we are serious about winning league and doing well in Europe...

The Rising Sun 711 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Great game. Stylish.Classy.Beautiful. and Clinical.Hazard Oscar Mata are make me feel the same way i felt when we watched the Napoli trio last season. Lavezzi Cavani Hamsik.Actually it makes me feel so much better as now i dont feel envy for another teams attacking players, instead we probably have the best Offensive midfield partnership in the world.In a very wierd and unexpected turn of expectations, we seem to have a ridiculously great balance in the team. Even the players coming on as substitutes fit in seemlessly into the team style and balance.The addition of Oscar means that it massively eases the pressure on Mikel and Lampard, as he is our own version of Tevez. Always closing down players, making good interceptions and tackles. Even if a player gets past Oscar, he dooes not have time , and that forces him to pass faster, which in turn gives our DP a much higher probability of winning the ball back. And then begins our Batman Esque onslaught again.At the moment, i think We are the footballing equivalent of "The Avengers".Probably even better.
