kobematabryant 400 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I am happy at the result, a good 3 point but we did look sloppy in the 2nd half. I am just pissed at Mourinho a little because he didn't play Mata or David Luiz because they were in my fantasy team. What a waste of points there.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 We dropped tempo and ball possesion in second half, but overall brilliant performance. Ramires was awesome, he could turn into one of best DM/CM players with regular plays like today. Oscar was top aswell, Hazard needs to be more central figure of team though. Just think how good we will be with Luiz and Mata. And possibly Rooney.Todays Mom for me was Lamps, whenever he scores such a beauty (those are getting rarer and rarer), he simply must get Mom award. Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJames 729 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 3 points and a clean sheet to start the season!!! A good first half with really good link up plays, passes etc. Even Torres had some good moments in the first half. Oscar is my motm with Ramires a close second.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I know there may be some people who will dislike not trying to thrash teams by big numbers. But i for one am perfectly happy with good solid performances resulting in wins and clean sheets. Sure its great when you beat a team 8-0. But 3 points are 3 points. And first game of the season especially we did what we needed to do and did it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojo 4,676 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 We could've went out and scored 3 or 4 more, but Jose knows best.He knows that we have contenders and he knows that we will need to rest our squad. We literally never even broke a sweat second half, we just pissed around and passed it about because we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chelsea 864 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I was just wanting mata to playing he make football look easy, that is what I waited for but Jose had other plans which am ok with if he play against villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Traveler 256 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 We have Jose, we dominate (at least the 1st half!), we create so many chance, we win and still some people complain! If you want 7 goal in each and every match go support Barcelona cause probably you will see alot of this result in coming matches.I'm just happy we got Jose back and even if we don't win any trophy this season which is highly unlikely under Jose i should be fine and you lot be better be fine with it too or we'll end up with Benitez, AVB, Avram Grant or some crap manager again! So you better be grateful with what we have right now cause many team dying to be at our position! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Still think our first 11 would be better without Lampard starting especially games like the Man Utd one were we will need to keep hold of the ball more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Job done The 2nd half was frustrating though - we literally stopped playing and let Hull back into the match.Granted it was Hull - but if we get complacent like this against better teams - we will come unstuck.Yes conserve energy, but keep the fucking ball and demoralise the opposition - not give them a sniff like we did today.Also agree that the midfield without Mata still looks a little shit. Hazard and Oscar try too many flicks and lose possession way too much. I'm still disappointed with Hazard. He's definitely not 'World Class' and has been pretty average all Pre-season and today - for a guy with that amount of skill, you expect more - well I do...Shirley did ok when coming on - unlucky with that chip...All in all 3 points in the bag - Villa will be tougher and Utd even more so - so by the end of next Monday, we'll know much more about our team plenty of training sessions between now and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 @Muzchap, Despite sitting back a bit in the second half Hull only had one real good chance which was the Curtis Davies header. We were in complete control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesChick 1,260 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I would have liked to see us do more in the second half, it is not enough to be up 2-0 at the half if we are going to drop our momentum and allow the other team opportunities in the second half. Granted they were wasted opportunities but at some point that will come back at bites us in the butt! The second half needs to be as strong as the first.

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Solid performance, but if we want to hang with the big teams I still believe we need someone like Rooney. At the moment I think we are more than fine in every position (yes, even the defensive midfield) but we dont have THAT clinical, game changing striker. I do have ALOT of trust, faith and hope in Lukaku but he is still young. Torres is torres and Ba is too sloppy etc. We need that kind of RvP, Drogba, Cavani, Falcao type of striker.

Kostas 1,468 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Props for tweaking the title to avoid spoiling those who haven't seen the game. Simple yet genius.
