Closed Chelsea v West Brom

[Stingray 9,441]

Seems all real good ... but the fact we are only one goal ahead and wasted a lot of energy makes me worried a bit about the second half. We will have to score more goals because there is always this one fatal counter waiting to happen when laying so high on the pitch .

comon blues!!!

lol yeah, Torres might be saying to himself that he would score from that position but the problem is he would be probably outside the box, blocking the Lampard's view

Hope Rafa's famous halftime teamtalk won't happen today.

What have I been telling about Oscar playing in the middle? Look at his last 3-4 games in the CAM position, really good. Should have just scored at least one of his two amazing chances, but has been outstanding overall!

LOL, so true...

Interesting first half they are sitting deep

Still think we lack a killer way to unlock teams - lots of passing around, but never incisive - that's not just today, but for a few seasons...

Plenty of half chances - but still think we are too easy to defend against.

BUT we are winning, so c'mon guys lets get all 3 points here

He's better of just not talking to them.

Have we played this good since when? Arsenal first half?

Oscar in the middle just like earlier this season mazacar KTBFFH

Protesting Rafa doesn't affect the players?? Pfft...

He's a lot better in a central role, yea. So is Mata and Hazard to a lesser extent. But I feel Mata and Hazard can cope better on the wings than Oscar; if Mazacar plays, Oscar should predominately play in the middle.

Tell Hazard to play left please, he's far more effective cutting inside... same with Mata on the right..

[Rmpr 8,977]

Just score another one, come on Chelsea!

Actually I think Rafa pissing the players off has affected them more.

The fact they know he's DEF going has probably given them all a lift

Yes, I agree. Specially about Hazard on the left, he is far too dangerous there...
