Closed West Ham 3-1 Chelsea

[The Skipper 20,609]

LMAO, so that's an excuse for Mikel to be shit.

Hazard had another dull game, so did Mata, Ivan was actually one of the best in the back four who was putting some effort in, i don't think Carlton Coles goal should of stood, you can't jump on someone like he did and Ivans a strong man he must of really dived on him to get the edge despite his height. Azpi was good at first but started to get worse as the game went on, once again Cole has another inconsistent performance, whilst making too many mistakes for my liking, but great goal line clearance.

Ramires was poor and he was really ineffective i thought, had we of had someone who could've done a job we really would've had a chance this game, Ramires could not win back the ball.

But MIKEL, he was the worst of the lot, we relied on him to seet deep and cover and he never regained the ball back once, he got beat on all the headers, he got skinned by Diame a few times, also where was his marking on Diame when he scored?, please tell me where was Mikel coming back?, he's meant to be staying deep i see him no where?.

Go on and make loads of excuses, the thing is you can't take away he's a bad player.

Not an excuse at all, but you demonising one single player to be the fault of this defeat is ridiculous.

Where was Mikel? Go watch the goal again - he was marking Carlton Cole. Mikel could've done a lot better with the Diame goal in handling Carlton Cole, but Ramires got caught ball watching and that's why Diame was allowed the space to score - go watch the goal again like I said.

Again, the whole team was horrible today, especially in the second half, but to once again single out Mikel for the defeat is ridiculous IMO.

Fellaini just scored again. Sign him roman

[Corner 456]

Are listening to your self?! what you say is just stupid and doesn't really have thing with the player or players i support! The man got money but just has no brain to run a football club tha's the problem and why he should go.

Really? For a man that knows nothing on how to run a football club, he has managed to bring us a lot of trophies. That's a strange one.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Yep.this is sadly true.

Hopefully when we get our 2 lads who REALLY love the club they will put a rocket up the rest of their asses.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

We need terry and lampard back as quickly as we can.

I think a Busquets, Capoue would have been good to have against West Ham, our central defenders wouldn't have to try heading the ball in midfield. And with Benitez tactic, we miss even more Lampard who would be our best goalscorer in this tactic like Gerrard at Liverpool who was scoring a lot.

What I didn't understand is why we were defending so deep, I think that we could have try to defend higher and asked Ramires to follow the run of the guy behind Carlton Cole.

With their physical advantage, it was mad to defend so deep.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Yup but its happened - so we gotta look forward not back... Looking back is damaging everything

You're right, but we're human beings and we all have a right to voice our emotion/opinion about something we're so passionate about. It shouldn't have happened to begin with but it has now, it'll take different times for different people to realise that. As I've said, dark days ahead. It's going to be a long season.

[Hutcho 8,443]

THERES ONLY ONE JOHN TERRY ONE JOHN TERRY!

[Weckerz 3,781]

Fellaini just scored again. Sign him roman

The general concensus here is that he's superaverage and can only play well when the team is built around him; hence he'll never play well in a top club.

Most will regret this next season when he plays for Manure tho.

And once again you make up tonnes of excuses, go make up one for Fernando Torres for me, i feel like another good laugh.

[Stingray 9,441]

You know me, i said Hazard proved me wrong, but fuck me i couldn't of spoke any sooner, after i said that he has been putting in average performances.

He needs to step up his game and start producing more than playing it safe, i admire his technique but his mentallity is so flat.

He needs to run at defenders more give them something to worry about, yes we will lose the ball in the process but it's better than him just maintaing it and doing nothing, he seems to be able to take players on whenever he goes for it, but the thing is he rarely ever goes for it.

True. I didn't question that at all. Hell, I even criticized him in several posts.

Also, its much more a structural problem I guess.

Torres sucked, Mikel sucked, Oscar sucked, Mata was not good besides his goal, Iva was on the ground more than I care to remember, the build up was horrendous, defending in the second half was ... Well... Sigh. Even Cech seems to have lost it a few times during the game.

So yeah, I do think it is fucked up if anyone picks out a new 21 year old such as Hazard to be the culprit. Those guys need to be nurtured, not burned out as they do with them now.

Ps: just for Henrique - i DO include Oscar in this. Just as I do Hazard.

Fuck's sake. If there is oe legitimate scapegoat it's surely Torres.

[Laylabelle 9,535]

I miss the Torres at the start of the season...the one who looked like he could score..was nice while it lasted

[The Skipper 20,609]

Where's the excuse mate? Point them out.

And my personal opinion on Torres? I don't even want to say, I'll probably get banned.

[Billy. 2,742]

Least the youth team won 3-2 in the Fa youth cup third round

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Is that his role in the team though? No. Diame was told to harass the opposition. You can't really compare. Why have a go at Mikel when the while team clearly shut down after half time?

It was a shocking performance all round, from the manager and the team. Dark, dark days ahead.

thats what i mean.

Thats why a westham CM can come on and boss a game bcos he has a goal threat far better than mikel but we are satisfied with Mikels job to sit in front of the defence and pass to the back four.

[elsjusz 10]

Need fellaini ...

match very bad, torres sux...

we need sell him.

[Blue Traveler 256]

you joined this forum after Chelsea won UCL, and you got only a couple of posts, so I really dont know what are you about. You are the hypocrite here. Cunt.

That's why you are so stupid! judging people by their date of join and number of posts! Keep on doing what i recommended in the previous post!

[The Skipper 20,609]

The general concensus here is that he's superaverage and can only play well when the team is built around him; hence he'll never play well in a top club.

Most will regret this next season when he plays for Manure tho.

It's not even that - if he were to sign for us and play in the role he's so effective in - which is NOT in the double pivot - we'd have to bench either Mata, Hazard, Oscar or Moses. He doesn't fit into the style of play we are *supposedly* developing.

[Stingray 9,441]

Got to love all the blame Hazard is getting, while Oscar and Mata were 3 times as shite today. I knew his pricetag was gonna cause the retards to blame him when the team is in a slump.

I'm seriously starting to doubt weither this club was a good choice for the lad to develop, and I fear the same for DeBruyne.

I couldn't agree more. Wahat a classy way to treat your young new arrivals. How stimulating and inspiring for he next batch that might choose our club. Not!

[Spike 12,049]

What is this? I pass out when the score is 1-0 and this fuck happens?
