kellzfresh 7,229 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Another reason for that approach play is likely because the attacking 3 behind Ba wasn't able to create anything of note and nothing came from the pivot either. And we sort of then just jumped it forward. The tragic thing was Villa played a high line yesterday and we hardly even exploited it. Just awful. We couldn't have exploited it when BA was in offside mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdog 2,084 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yes. The match studio on Al Jazeera analyzed it and his shoulder, head and half his body was offside. Not exactly a tough call for the linesman as he was looking right across the line and Iva was offside all the time, meaning he was not onside and then ran offside just before the ball was played. That was from the studio. Different when it's real time & I am 100% sure that the linesman had a better view than those talking heads. If your want to base you opinion on that, then go right ahead. I will enjoy our time ON TOP OF THE TABLE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoro 151 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Ive been one to criticise Lukaku but I think he showed yesterday why he should be our first choice striker. Did more in 15 minutes than Ba and Torres did in all their game time so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacticalBlues 2,817 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Just got back from Paris. Have seen the goals from all the games and followed bbc sport vaguely live. The two games seemed to be a big contrast. Can somebody summarise them for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoro 151 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 not really.You clearly havent been watching Chelsea play. Ba did nothing but appear offside against Villa and Torres did nothing against Hull. Lukaku linked up with others and actually had a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Just got back from Paris. Have seen the goals from all the games and followed bbc sport vaguely live. The two games seemed to be a big contrast. Can somebody summarise them for me?As short as possible: Brilliant 1st half against Hull, but couldn't score more than 2 goals. 2nd half was bad, but that happens when leading sometimes.Against Villa we started well, but that only lasted till the 7th minute after our goal. Then the weird passing from Lampard started, Ba was caught offside 5 times in one half and the game was really boring. We didn't have many chances and we only won thanks to good set-piece delivery from Lampard - probably the only good thing he did all game. And Cech made some top saves.

Spenzy2010 8 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Read on skysports.com tonight, that we are in for Willian.I really do like that player... Though he is not what we need the most right now. A good DM and a goal scoring striker is what we should be going for. What's your take on us signing Willian guys?

Stef 15 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Willian is a good player, but I agree. WE DON'T NEED HIM. We need a player like Van Persie, deadly efficient in front of the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
