Stats 7,142 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 yes I did see the same... kept possession and all, most of the time without much pressure on him. Is that enough though? Is that all you look for in a midfielder?When he takes a shot it out of the stadium; when he enters the opponent's box he loses possession on his own. That's why he is *let* keep possession! He's the one chelsea midfielder our opponents can leave alone. Heck they mark Luiz more than Mikel because statistically (number just don't lie) nothing good in attack comes from him.the praising would make more sense if we did not fucking lose the game.He won us the ball back numerous amount of times. That alone helps us with counter attacks and prevented them from scoring more but we were wasteful with our opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Typical overreactions. Do you guys really expect us to win every fucking matches?! Everton is no slouch and they are always our boogey team, we played well in the first half and it's very unfortunate to concede just before the half time whistle. After the goal they defended immensely in the second half and it's very hard to break a good defensive minded Everton to be totally honest. So just chill the fuck out will you? It's only the 4th round for god sake and we have the same points with ManU and Citeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 We played well. went all attack. didn't have luck. how is it 'shit' ?So we need luck to score? No, hell no. Our finishing was absolute shit. And LOSING, not even drawing I consider absolute shit considering our team.We lost the game, but no way did we deserve to lose. We were by FAR the better team, we just couldn't take our chances. Really do wonder if anyone watches the game on these threads, or just looks at the score at the end.Pardon me? didnt watch the game?I call it shit if we are by far the better team and cannot even get a point from that game.

TrippingStep 336 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Compared to last season though, I was impressed. The tempo to our game was fantastic. No one was taking more than two touches, quick fast passing. Sure you compare results to others but when you compare this Chelsea to last year's Chelsea and I prefer this playing style. Just couldn't take our countless chances.Wow, I have complete opposite opinion.I don't like the central defense sitting so deep, I liked the way under Benitez, we played more the off-side trap. And I prefered the way we were playing in possession, with triangles, fixating some zone to release runners on the opposite zone. They were more coordinated movements. More spanish with a methodic build-up and rehearsed coordinated movements between our players.On set-pieces, we have more clear patterns.When we were crossing, better use of spacing with one runner to the front post, one towards goal, one sitting and one on the far post, stretching the defense.In this mach, I had no clue what we were trying to do while with Benitez I knew what he wanted to do.

Kojo 4,676 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Ok.....Oh jesus, look if you have a problem with me James just put me on ignore, because I'm not in the mood for all the sarcastic comments that everyone loves to quote me on.I am saying that there is positives despite how frustrating the result was, I'm grateful that now we don't lose like we did 2 seasons ago when we would actually get completely outplayed and embarrassed, today we where unfortunate but at the same time deserved to lose.

zolayes 14,489 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Exactly. I don't understand those who claim, "we should of won"Laughable. We don't put our chances away, we deserve fuck all, regardless of how we played. Consistency is they key element in title winning teams, we need to step that aspect up. check the stats ..then rewatch the watch if you still don't understand watch another sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James 5,331 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Sorry but do you actually think we played shit? You lot are off your fucking heads. If we had just taken some chances, we woulda won 5-0 which we would've deserved. 65% to like 35% with 20 odd shots and we just missed so many chances. I thought we were good today and 3-0, 4-0 would've been a fair reflection. We were very unlucky, Everton did nothing. Well said mate. Do some of you on here even watch the game before commenting? Its like you see we've lost and automatically assume we've played shit. Bells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 He won us the ball back numerous amount of times. That alone helps us with counter attacks and prevented them from scoring more but we were wasteful with our opportunities.yes he did. So did Luiz, Terry, Cole, Iva all defenders. My point remains that's not enough for a midfielder.I do see his defensive contribution, but that's just not good enough for me. He needs to be able to pick a long pass, assist, shoot, be a surprise (unmarked) player when things are tough like they were today. I reckon he does not have the quality for that though - showcased by his bizarre loss of possession inside the opponent's box. I guess we are the only top side left in the world who employ a Makelele type of player... oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weckerz 3,781 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 We're not the only top4 team that is gonna lose over there.

Starman60 1,343 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Dissapointing result. I dont think Eto should have started. I doubt if Torres was too happy to lose his place in the side to a 32 year old has-been. We really lack a cutting edge up front. Everton has always been a tough place place to get a result but these are the grounds where you win Premierships. PS. Cahill is a much better defender than Luis.Bloody weekend ruined ..........Again !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
