TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 This is the kind of game that really needs a manager's intervention. Our players seem sort of out of it. Azpilicueta was terrible at the beginning of the half but played well towards the end. I'd keep things as is but if nothing changes within 15-20 minutes bring on Mata for Oscar who has been invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Cech is playing well.Dave is not.Oscar is losing the ball. Andre is losing the ball and I don't know where Lampard is.......Rambo looks tired.This would be a good game to bring Luiz so he could plays some ball forward from the backline. Torres need to go to the ball, rather than wait for the ball to come to him....But than again, Im watchin green and blue dots, so my viewpoint on this game could be totally wrong.

zyzz 711 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I don't understand why we're just waiting for the equaliser. We could dominate them without any problems. Their defense is so shaky so lets go and attack themPS Glad that Farfan and Huntelaar are injured. Schalke are awful when it comes to defending set pieces this season so i'd start Ivanovic again although he didn't play well today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmpr 8,977 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 This is a game for Mata, imo.1. Oscar has been horrible so far.2. We need to keep the ball more on our feet.3. We also need Juan's key passes to set up good counters to kill the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toli 977 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 awful game but a good result. seems like the players are either saving themselves up for city or dont have motivation to play. just walking around the pitch without desire/determination.

Jase 43,479 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Playing Azpi at LB has really rendered out attack...non-existent. Because he's playing there, Schurrle is used on the LW to help protect him defensively and as a result of that, Hazard is having a rather quiet half on the RW and being subdued to just defending work. When we do get forward, we couldn't even keep the ball long enough to save our lives. Too many decent counter attack chances all being wasted and that is rather pathetic when they are gaps and spaces to be exploited in this vulnerable looking Schalke side.

JamesGodfrey 87 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Glad we got the early goal but we cannot come into the 2nd half the way we ended the 1st. We need to hold the ball up better and have a better understanding of our attacking movement, there's been a few occasions where we had very good chances to counter and a sloppy pass has ruined it.

We also need Juan's key passes to set up good counters to kill the game.Funnily enough, what we are doing now is no different to what Benitez did last season defensively. Defend with 2 banks of four and leave the CAM and ST upfront alone and as a result of that, we are getting overrun and somewhat outpassed, in midfield especially. 2 v 3 in that area with Schalke's wide player joining inside creating 4 v 2. Our FB(s) is getting drawn inside, leaving us exposed on the flanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
