Elliott 7 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 First Half, and well, up until the Anglo Turk scored... We were completely on top, controlling the pace, controlling the game. But for all that control, we created a minimum of chances, and score from a non-chance. Drogba did not play well tonight, and we just didn't penetrate effectively. Malouda was lively but his delivery was poor, the same could be said of Joe Cole too. Lampard's range of passing was impressive tonight, but didn't offer much going forward and Ballack wasted his chances. Then we let them back in, probably by not knowing what to expect out of Kazim Richards and that has to be the fault of the management. Suddenly the confidence switches sides and we're on the back foot. I hold my hands up to the 2nd goal, what a strike, Then came the bad substitutions. Taking off Lamps or Ballack was 50/50, but Joe Cole off, Anelka on the wing, same old story, we know it doesn't work, why doesn't Grant? Learn from your mistakes, for fuck's sake! Plus point - we have an away goal. 1-0 at home will do us. I can see it being 2-1 and us losing on penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 What an abysmal performance. Absolutely woeful in the second half, they had the game there for the taking at the interval - and they spectacularly fucked it up. Grant is going to get a lot of stick for his team selection and substitutions, but the bottom line is that that second half showing was one of worst performances we have made this season. I'm still confident that we can go and win at Stamford Bridge - it only takes a 1-0 win for us at home to progress, though I don't fancy our chances in fairness. Woeful. Absolutelty woeful.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) Subs again grr he dont have a clue!!! We were kinda in control and arg! Chances but fucked them up! Back to the Bridge to sort things out..not that confident. Away goal what matters but on the back of a loss And kinda annoying we didnt manage to score!They got 3 we got none! If they score at the Bridge...we're screwed Edited April 2, 2008 by Laylabelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Won't happen this year lads and I don't think we're gunna be able to chase Man United in the league as they are virtually unstoppable again this season. so no trophies!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 In my opinion, that is not a loss. We are a completely different team at Stamford Bridge. I'm not overly confident but I have faith that we can progress with relative ease next week. Being behind on aggregate gives us an extra incentive to go on and attack.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) I dont lol.Its just with Grant you never know who he's gana play and then subs Be ok...as said.Fen score at home think that'll be it for us.Cant see us scoring what 4 really when we couldnt get one tonight Hopfully our youth team make up for this..ish...a little tiddy tiddy bit Edited April 2, 2008 by Laylabelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Well we got what we deserved. If you cant kill teams off when dominating the game, there really are serious problems. We battered them for like an hour, constand bombardment, created shit loads of chances and couldnt hit a barn door. The crossing yet again was complete shit and Drogba.......honestly sometimes hes a right cunt. Avram as well, didnt change fuck all, Lampard off for mikel? WHAT!! Anelka comes on on the right ring for Joe Cole. I'm lost for words, completely stunned by what i just watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnie_666 1,081 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Proof that Grant is Clueless: Chelsea vs Arsenal: Chelsea 1-0 down. Grant takes off Defensive midfielder and attacks to get level. Result, we score. Fener vs Chelsea: Chelsea one goal down. He keeps the defensive midfielder, takes off Joe Cole. WOW..what a masterpiece. And we look clueless just like our manager.

Ollie 4,400 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 well it should of been 3 or 4-0 to us, but to lose it and just simply go to pieces in the last quarter of the match is an absolute outrage. we battered them, we fucking battered the turk cunts and we fucking well got turned over. Thats the most frustrating thing ive seen since monaco away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
