English Freak 456 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 thats very harsh.i mean y cant a team likecechiva luiz JT pfake lampsmoses yossi marintorresdo the job. the main point is resting MAZACAR, rambo+mikel and our full backs(azpi and bert). Resting the three attacking midfielders is important...but I highly doubt Rafa would leave all of them out of the away leg.Nice team selection, I'd probably change Yossi for Oscar.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Well Rubin kazan brought quite a following with them. They had what 30 fans? The highlight of the night was doing a wanker sign to some spurs fans on a train platform at London bridge station as the train left though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garden Of Eden 40 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 JT's hand ball accusation was utter bull, but on the other hand Steven Taylor - that is a clear handball c'mon ref switch on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdog 2,084 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Must say it was a joy to see Hazard & Mata playing together. Even though it was a couple of minutes, the danger for Kazan increased. So glad that Hazard is on my team Oh & Bert looked funky fresh out there today. Getting up the pitch & sending in dangerous crosses. Also playing some d & halting some Rubin runs. That Rubin guy is tuff, but I think The Chels will do him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 By the way there is no better long range passing defender with two feet than JT. His distribution from defence is incredible at times, just quality.Also, Mata's first touch to get the ball under control is a joy to be hold, he plucks it from the air like it's on string....Again, joy to watch.

Stingray 9,441 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 The boys did well and yes Torres suprised me. Now focus like crazy on the next game and come out all guns blazing. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I also agree Bertrand had a good game too. By far his best performance for us, hopefully he gains a bit more belief in himself especially after that mazy run in the first half. He's good with the ball and is very quick, just needs to stop being so subdued in matches and give it some. He showed yesterday why we kept hold of him.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Rubin really were a mess so it's hard to read too much into individual performances. Torres has hopefully given some prospective buyers the thought that he isn't a completely busted flush which is good. Glad to see Moses get a goal after he got some stick in the Southampton game.Unsurprisingly the double pivot was fairly woeful, although Ramires worked hard as usual. Lampard didn't score so might as well not been on the pitch.Marin is just pitiful. He's been unfortunate with not getting much game time but this move just wasn't right for him from start to finish. And that finish better be sooner than later.Bertrand looked good and hopefully he continues this against tougher opposition. But it was Mata who just ran the show and showed so much class on the ball. I'd have preferred 3-0 but this scoreline allows us to rest a few of the guys before an important game.BTW, gloating over an injury to a player like Bale is absolutely classless.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Regarding the pen, I still think it's very harsh, but tbf, they should have had one earlier when Luiz just elbowed someone for no reason in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Good win. Good performance. And that penalty wasn't even a penalty IMO. The ball may have hit Terry's hand but it was ball to hand rather than the other way round! Because of it, Rubin got an undeserved goal and it's a lifeline for them in this tie. Decent result anyway.Speaking of Rubin, was quite surprised how average they look. I know they aren't a top quality side but did expect better from them. Were they this rubbish against Atletico and got lucky or were Atletico just bad in that tie?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
