Nando 106 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 We are going down boys. There's nothing worse than going home in a great mood and see such a result. Without having watched the game I may suppose that after taking the lead WBA have done great job defensively and my man Torres has been scratching his balls for I don't know how many minutes. Obviously, without Mata this team doesn't reach its potential but the good thing is that the next league game is again City at home. We should really find a way to get out of this bad series of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,958 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Stay positive. Last year we also lost to WBA at their stadium... and we went to win the Champions league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azpinator 2,325 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Guys it's obvious that Ashley's absence is a weakness for us, I'm not saying Ryan is bad but he's not as good defensively as Ashley. We've seen that now in 3 or 4 matches, most of the goals we conceded are from Ryan's side.Some kind of joke: Go buy Anthony Pilkington since almost every striker is better than Torres.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 We got played. It's as simple as that. People who say we dominated need to get there heads checked. Yeah we might have had more possession but that's exactly what they wanted. They crowded the center en pushed us out wide as it was the only way to move forward. They then simply waited untill we got fed up passing the ball around and took a shot on goal from a distance or decided to cross the ball in. They then kicked the ball long to long , no pun intended. Long basically man handled Luiz and Cahill all game long. Also it seems Morrison used some sort of experimental camouflage or something because that's simply the only way to explain what happened today.Exacly!!! We just seemed to throw our players into the match and hope their skills fetch us the win. Didn't looked like we practiced any movements when in possesion. SmhHazard: didn't think he played well but in all fairness he wasn't helped by the fact that he had no distributor behind him causing him to receive absolutely no balls in the forward central area. He then had to constantly drop deep to pick up the ball and act like a distributor.Now the thing is Hazard is a different kind of number 10 then Oscar or Mata. He's not a player that thrives on distributing the ball. He's a nr 10 that plays between the lines and wants to receive the ball in those tight areas. That's his game to get played in those tight central areas even when he's marked and hold that ball up so that other players can make overlapping runs or so he can turn away from his marker and try and beat 1, 2 maybe even 3 players on a good day so he can then run at the defence. Force the defence to tighten up leaving room on the side to exploit and then either play a throughball, take a shot or continue dribbling. That's what you can expect from Hazard on the nr 10 however for him to be able to play that way he has to have someone playing in the pivot who actually has the abillity and the balls to play a ball into those tight areas and make a freaking forward overlapping run. Now you might have seen Hazard make some sort of hand movement multiple times during the game . A stretched hand pointing at his feet. For people who don't know hand signs that means " pass me the mother f****** ball."He had to move to the wings to finally get the ball in a forward area but even then his dribbling just didn't seem to come off.This is why I say we need a ball distributor in the pivotFernadinho in the summer for cheap. When they mark hazard in the first half and there wan no one that could create anything from the pivot, just sideways passing to the full backs .But hazard was averaged overall, moses was even more dangerous in dribbling When Oscar and Mata came on we looked more dangerous but we were just all over the place. I mean if i was a neutral fan watching the game and i didn't know the qualities of Oscar and Mata or the position they play then i would have had no clue where they were playing. Our attacking style is just random movement.Like I said, no training practice just throw in all the attackers in the match to win the game.I can't ever see a play and say "damn that was a well practiced move" we just hope on mata magic.After rereading my comment i've kinda noticed i've come down pretty hard on Romeu and Mikel. To be clear i don't bame them for being conservative in possesion and not choosing to play the risky ball. It's what they were taught to do. I blame RDM for this. No manager in his right mind would choose to play 2 holding midfielders when he clearly has a better team then the opposition.True we should have played either one of romeu or mikel. Both are too defensive minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuf 1,448 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Cech is really taking that captaincy thing serious. I feel he's very influential on our players.Btw. Mikel, keep trying son, you're getting there. It's strange to see him shoot. What's next? Torres actually scoring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I didn't watch the game, but I have to say, how did Cole, Ivanovic, Ramires, Oscar and Mata all get dropped when Torres started? Could it be that he will be dropped against Juventus?!Nah, I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
