Closed Chelsea 4-0 Brentford

[BowtiesAreCool 16]

Great second half performance after what was a lackluster first. I think we can absorb the positives now and really go for the cup. One Brentford player that impressed me was Adam Forshaw, great first half performance from the lad - wasn't afraid to go for goal. I thought that Mata's goal was just superb, a really neat finish. Terry's goal was good, Oscar's just confused me (how did they concede like that... should have stopped the ball) and Lampard's volley gave me feels. Hopefully we can continue scoring goals - and hopefully pick up a trophy to make up for a shite season.

Last time I was this excited seeing the staring 11 was at the Emirates. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole game. A lot of people were complaining about the first half but the team played well and had lots of chances.

I was disappointed that Ba didn't score but he did keep the defenders busy the whole game. Oscar and Lamps should both have had a hat-trick. Ivanovic was decent going forward but defensively, lets just say I'd rather have him at CB.

Luiz, despite the retarded foul, had an amazing game. Kept the sky blazer shots to a minimum. Mata was a bit quiet at first but damn that man left foot makes my dick hard (yes homo)

Oscar is such a joy to watch when he's not being pressed to death.

Nasty stuff from Luiz but having seen some of the stuff teams get away with against our players with very little said I don't really give a shit.

Terrible first half much better second.

Yea like Toure did to Mata. Also Van Pussy got away with it against Cabaye!

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Luiz started elbowing people, did it vs england and now again...instead of becoming mature, he got more wild...

GREAT RESULT ON MY BROTHER'S BIRTHDAY!

A comfortable win, something you'd expect against a strongly weaker opponent. No brainer for MOTM - Oscar. Luiz and Mata were also great. Only negative I can find is that we even had to play this replay.

David Luiz went into the Brentford dressing room to apologise to Jake Reeves for late incident

That's two excellent games for Oscar in a row...maybe he's starting to adapt?

The score would have been 5 or 6 if Torres had played, IMO, because the attack would have been better organised in the first half and Brentford would have had to devote two players to handle him, thereby making space for Mata and Oscar, and Torres would probably have scored. But it was better that he was rested for next week. Demba was the "victim" of a team with players who don't play well with a lone striker. Therefore it is ironic that the first goal was the result of such a direct move - lobbed from the back to the centre-foward and his deflection to Mata. I'd like to see us mix in a few more of these direct tactics especially against teams who play a double back four and turn up to defend.

1- It was Sparta and Brentford.

2- He wasnt in the wing.

I doubt the score would've been 5 or 6 with 10 players on the pitch

Yes, but one can always hope. Really wish we could have rested a couple more players today as well. Brentford at home would have been the perfect time to do that.

Yes, definetly. Oscar will be really good for us, but he is not the type of player that will give you dribles and runs, so it is really stupid to play him as RW. Have you ever imagined Lampard or Pirlo as wingers? Oscar is similar to both of them, but he plays a bit more advanced (not comparing quality)...

I was pissed off that Mata and Lampard were in the starting lineup, they proved to be really useful, but they surely needed some rest.

[bushman 2,043]

When Hazard was suspended, therefore rested he came back much stronger.

He has adapted very well for PL football.

[Jype 6,398]

Great second half.

Also number 199 for Lampard. Getting closer...

[Drogzola 283]

The second half was good because Brentford ended up chasing the game so it became more open. We still have a lot to work on but a win it is.
