Closed Chelsea 1-0 West Brom

He fucked up on out goal though...

On the matter of Belgian members voting for Belgian players, I really see no problem. The weird thing would be if they didnt protect their own players. It is only natural...

Fact remains we DID NOT! Saying so is a blatant lie. Period.

Especially if you consider our country is friggin small and we have our best generation ever by far (we arent brazil where they have a worldplayer every year orso )

The amount of good players we have playing in the pl is becomming rediculous for us considering before we almost never had any good player playing in the premier league (well phillipe albert, newcastle player from 94 till 99, and perhaps one/more few), and when your favorite team picks up our best you get quite cheery

Like now arsenal - tottenham, 3 belgians starting, if anyone wouldve said that 5-10 years ago they wouldve lol'd their asses off...

That aside, i think most here stay pretty neutral (belgians arent patriotic people generally anyways)

[Hamilton 2,120]

Not read all of it on here, but i see the voting discussion regarding the belgians is on again, tss, very mature! Probably not hard to guess who started it, again!

[Hamilton 2,120]

Regarding the game. We never got in real trouble but should have finished the game off way earlier. Oscar motm for me, altough he should have scored two times first 20 mins.

I still think mata shouldve played hazard the 2nd time, oscars 2nd header was pretty difficult to make (at 15:30 minutes game time) - way more difficult than the possible tap-in for hazard if mata wouldve played him, he was completely free so cant really blame oscar for that one since he was marked

That's true he messed up thinking he could get the ball before Luiz.

Thought Lampard had a shocker. He couldnt keep up with everyone else. Honestly think he should go in the summer.

Join the club my friend...Join the club!!! The majority of us can see that he is a fraud, but what can we do? CFC is ran w/ North Korean like policies. Maybe we can get Rodman to speak to Mr. Abramovich for us & get him to speak to the fans xD

He's going in May. He confirmed as much on Wednesday.

It was encouraging to see the fans in good voice yesterday and not just on Rafa's back. I, like the media apparently, anticipated that it would be far worse than it was but the fans weren excellent.

I was at the Bridge yesterday & was surprised that the atmosphere was nowhere near as toxic as everyone were expecting, Rafa did get some boo's when he touch the ball during the game a few times & there was a rendition of "Jose Mooorineeooooo" which prob dug at Rafa more!

As for the game I'm going to upset the majority as I thought Oscar whilst had a reasonable game was nowhere near m.o.t.m, he somehow missed 3 piss easy opportunities & could of done better with a couple of others, he is pushed off the ball far too easily so I hope the club work on his strength. If West Brom would of equalized late on & thanks to Cech they didn't, Oscar would of been absolutely slated on here....

As you can see so much more going to games my observations were that there is neither enough movement or bodies in the final third of the pitch, if we can improve these areas & start taking our chances then we can start thinking with more confidence. Hazard was a threat & I was stunned to see him substituted, West Brom got a second wind when he went off, nonetheless we deserved the win & should of won by more.

Lastly like a poster has already said & I've mentioned many times before, dead ball situations are just pathetic, especially corners, talk about frustrating to watch 100k per week players who can't execute them is an under statement!

[Hamilton 2,120]

Another thing that i noticed yesterday is how many times, especialy first half, Hazard is making good runs or finding some nice space but just doesn't get the ball. Lots of times in the center but most of the times our players choose to play the longer ball then trying to set-up the 1-2 or the trough ball with Eden.
