Closed Sunderland v Chelsea

[TheCount 146]

Well i never thought benetiez would do it, but like i always said, we play with wide play and torres will score and we will score more,

This "beautiful football" is fucking stupid. Play to win and to win in the PL you play wide. end of fucking story.

Before Torres scored his goal, he was provided 4 chances in just 13 minutes.

Fuss about the voodoo thing, the pace thing, the mentally weak thing... With all his weaknesses, when he got service (suited for his movements, basically like every striker in the world) he was efficient (except for the couple of sitters he missed this autumn)

There was a good sequence as well when the players did interchange well, quickly to keep the ball up the field after Ramires recovered the ball.

That's good we scored the 2nd. Sunderland players are knackered as MON did rotate his squad even less than Robbie did so we haven't to expect the same ending than at West Ham

"Lamps"

Lamps was coming on but needed a hot water bottle on his calf - not a good sign

That's what commentators said anyway...

[Milan 17,957]

Arsenal leading 1-0 after a penalty. And it was a blatant dive from Cazorla, blatant.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Four goals and an assist for Torres in five games under Benitez. The Rafa-Effect, if you will.

"Lamps"

DM= Defensive midfielder

Despite the score line we were getting battered without a DM. Rafa needs to find a solution at HT. I think we need to switch to 4-3-3 if we want to hold on.

[Miracle 249]

The difference between this and all the preceding games is that we finally got the 2nd goal.

[Naked Mole Rat 437]

Am I reading 'great half'? It was f'cking woeful. That midfield better get a bollocking by Benitez.

A great "quarter" more like. We've been dominated by Sunderland, a team sitting just above the relegation zone, after 20 minutes in. We're lucky we haven't conceded any yet.

EDIT: Maybe not dominated, but we were still very poor.

[Hutcho 8,443]

if we don't win this i will genuinely cry.

[AndersonBLUE 819]

You seriously saying Torres is back? Just lol. People change their minds so quick.

[Madmax 9,219]

Arsenal leading 1-0 after a penalty. And it was a blatant dive from Cazorla, blatant.

I'd love to see Voyeur try and defend that dive.

Really?!

Lamps can play there anyone...

[bluesman2610 1,417]

i guess all the singing of the fernando torres chelsea #9 at my game last night paid off haha

"Lamps"

Nope, Lampard is the link man who triggers the pressing in 4-2-3-1.

Indeed. Tremendously lucky Larsson gave us that gift, cause we really are lucky to have that cushion.

[Milan 17,957]

In 2011, if we really wanted Torres so badly, we should have signed him with Benitez in one pack lol.

[Rmpr 8,977]

But on the other side Chelsea is getting a shit load of exposure here, being all over the news can't be bad for our image. :blue scalf:

If we win it mate, if we win it!
