CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 That's because he had the better players and ones that are more suited to pressing than the team AVB managed last season.I don't think it is the players. I think RDM has convinced players to play his way. Even with Lamps who is now getting less time than under AVB. RDM is still implementing AVB's 'project' but he is doing so quietly.

Razor 3 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 By far the single most enjoyable game this season (granted it's only really the start of the season). To go to Shite Hart Lane after all of the bad PR that has been surrounding our club for the past couple of weeks / months in particular (I wont go into details as all of you will know what I'm referring to), as well as having AVB running his mouth and the pressure that would have been on our boys to come out of that fixture with a good result, and smash them 4-2 was just unbelievable.The build up play from this season compared to what it was like last season relying heavily on the counter rather than working the ball around nice and quickly as we do now is night and day. So many exciting things that have already happened so far with this new style of ours, what with Hazard, Oscar and Mata feeding Torres, and to think that's coming (for most of the players) back from an international break, as well as the fact that they've only played together for 10 or so games. Looking at how the team are gelling at this early stage of the season and how many more games they have to further improve the chemistry things could really go our way this season (not that we didn't have an amazing end to what was an abysmal first 2/3 of the season last year). I can really see us winning a lot of things, and if we keep playing how we did and shite hart lane and how we have done against various other teams so far, it wouldn't be smart to rule us out of the Champions League final (as some pundits are already suggesting).All in all, a great weekend and on a larger scale, a great era to be blue! Bring on Shaktar and United! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,959 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Petr Cech on facing AVB -"The presence of Andre surely made the atmosphere more spicy."Before and after the match he said hello to us, he shook hands with everyone and we exchanged a few words. It was nice to see him again."A professional really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmpr 8,977 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I don't think it is the players. I think RDM has convinced players to play his way. Even with Lamps who is now getting less time than under AVB. RDM is still implementing AVB's 'project' but he is doing so quietly.We actually dont know if Lampard is OK with it. It is all flowers until bad results come...I am totally aproving RDM job right now. However, we will more of him once we get on a losing streak, he has to use his back-up plans and contain unhappy squad players. LETS WAIT.We did not know AVB would turn out the way it did...

Jase 43,479 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I forgot that caption: look at Oscar's movements there (imagine the arrow lol), he walks backwards and fixes Walker, he actually roots him ; what opens the interval between him and GallasBut that could have been prevented to be fair, Walker's tactical understanding is worse than a schoolboy playing in recration ground. He should have come closer to Gallas.The replay is funny, Walker jogs then walks and when Hazard passes he starts jogging again and raises his hand to call an offside. What a twatBosingwa-esque defending. If you look at one of the angles in the repeat of Mata's second goal, you can see that Walker had a look at where Mata was but didn't even bother to track him. Tottenham's greatest ever right back? HA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskoviolente 425 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Did anyone else realise how good Ramires´ first touch and passing rate is at the moment. Really impressed me on first sight on saturday, even more impressive re-watching the match. The Mikel-Ramires midfield duo works really well. Ramires pace just creates so much danger at times, especially after defending corners, Ramires just bombs forward and thankfully always has someone to pass to because of a very pacey front-4 (front-4? yes, actually 4 attackers, mental).

Did anyone else notice rami rabona pass which ended up with walker for Mata second goalYes, I did and I was like what the fuck are you doing Actually it was for Danny Boy's goal. Walker received the ball, but Mata hassled Walker & he gave it up like a lil' Girl. Mata streaks in from the right flank & crosses to a streakin' Danny Boy Stud.

With the confidence we have lately you can almost tell that no one is setteling for a draw in the team. At 2:2 against Spurs i was dead sure that we would win it. It is weird because usually i lose it completely when we fall behind because up until now it would have always been a miracle to come from behind and win it (Ancelottis 2nd season, the big spell in the middle, where we just couldn´t win, AVBs whole tenure).
