MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Keep in mind the schedule we've had and the cup tie "must win" attitude meant our rotation got messed up. Players are tired, that's understandable. Great win, very happy regardless of the gameplay, props to Donetsk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 But that is his job. We have to stop looking at it as something extra he does. A modern day winger should defend and he should do so well.It is something extra he does. His main priority is attacking wise, and then he's meant to help out at the back and he did and has been doing so.Like i said he will sometimes get some things wrong, be in the wrong position etc but that's common when attackers are asked to defend. Look at Drogba in the CL last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Land 331 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 11: Watching Willian made me wonder if Marin could be our little version of him. Maybe.Not even close mate,Marin is a headless chicken.Willian is dribbling + amazing football IQ,Marin is just dribbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keikoismad 162 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 How could you blame Hazard for not defending? At the right flank, Mata tracks back together with Oscar. Thereby comes Ivanovich and Cahill.At the left flank, however, you've got Hazard only ( while oscar gets support from Mata) and Bertrand who is not good enough imo. And guess who's waiting after you' ve passed Bertrand?DAVID FUCKING LUIZi just think the right flank is better because of better defenders and one extra atacking player to track back ( oscar or Mata) while Hazard stands alone at left flank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A modern day winger should defend and he should do so well.Lets bench him, really. The taste of the pudding is in the eating. Maybe we will do better, maybe worse ... All else is just sophistry, commit it to the flames. Hume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 @Land, ah, really? Do you think Marin could improve to the point where he's at Willian's level? Or is he just not that good? I haven't seen much of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiclasCFC 2,582 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Guys before the Hazard bashing continues just rewind 6 months and think about what left wingers we had in the squad. Yes he may need on his defensive positioning but this guy is a gem guys and he is only 21 years of age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediator 2,026 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hazard was really good. He worked really hard and tried a lot to find invisible players.Of course, he made some mistakes, but everybody did. Just look how Ramires ran like a headless chicken after winning the ball. And people are praising him.Luiz was not that bad this game, i just think we should really try him in the double pivot in stead of Ramires.

Reddish-Blue 2,506 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Bertrand definitely isn't ready to play against the bigger teams. He looked out of his depth at LB...hopefully we give Cole a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 We need another LB. Ryan is just not (yet?) chelsea materialTypical knee jerk comment after 1 poor game. Granted that he didn't perform to his abilities but the lack of protection in front of him and our narrow defending allowed Shakhtar to run riot down his side. Not entirely his fault.

I haven't seen much of him.Marin's a winger, I remember when Bremen tried to play him in the CAM "Ozil" role..he looked out of his depth. Willian is like our attacking trio..he can play at CAM or on either wing when needed, I just hope he doesn't join Spurs in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 We probably didn't deserve to win but we still played well. We were the dominant team in the 2nd half towards the end of the game and didn't deserve to lose either. A draw woulda been fair but we needed to win and we did it. I said to my dad when Mata stood over to take the corner 'remember a Mata corner from this side late in a Champions League game?" And the header was almost identical! Great win, great confidence boost for those scouse scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Shakhtar's full backs were fantastic tonight, especially Srna on the right. Ryan was left one against two many many times and of course it was a big advantage for them. He was not as bad as some people are trying to make him look like. You have to have patience with younger players, and thank God Robbie has that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen much of him.Marin has been criticized for year by our press when he was at Bremen,the guys dribbles dribbles dribbles just to make a wrong decision in the final third.Improving?Idk,he had a LOT of playing time at the Bundesliga and only got worse,maybe Mazacar can have a influence.But i don't see it coming soon since Moses has been better + RDM is isnt playing Marin at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
