Barbara 15,149 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Our first half performance was really good. We were dominating them, controlling the match and had 2-3 chances to score that we missed. If you think that City were playing well themselves, I'd say we had a nearly perfect first half.Then second half we had issues in the pivot with Lamps and in the defense with Cahill. Is it me or Cahill seemed even slower than Terry today? Terry makes up for his slowness with his flawless positioning, but Cahill's is decent. The problem is that while Cahill positions himself decently his reading of the opponents is really poor. Just after their goal he once again was completely lost in the box in a Silva shot...Before being replaced Lampard was offering them space, wasn't pressing close enough and was bypassed consecutively a handful of times...As I said the other day with Luiz and Terry in the back I'm never nervous - even though I acknowledge Luiz's mistakes. But with Cahill and whoever along him, I'm always nervous, at the edge of my seat... he's good, but while Luiz's mistakes are because of sloppiness, Cahill's are because of limitation. He's limited.He had some good moments there though, two of them even after their goal, but I was afraid we'd concede against because of his inability to anticipate and read the Silva and Aguero's movement.Ramires was simply a beast. He was amazing defending, attacking, building. It must be said he's been improving his first touch and passing (forward) since Mourinho arrived.Our three AM weren't that good, except for Schürrle in the first. Hazard and Oscar had more than forgettable matches. Willian was very good though. I think we should start rotating Willian into the team... Ramires + Oscar killed Toure this match. Oscar wasn't much good in the attack, but once again he was very good pressing and tackling and marking. Torres has been superb. It's not only about the goal scored, the assist, and the unlucky post hit. I guess only Ramires and Ivanovic (who was also immense and keeps me proving Azpilicueta only has a spot in this team if he replaces Cole - who was his usual this season: not good enough) worked harder than Torres. Torres pressed, tackled, moved around, ran, linked up, he did everything and with few, few mistakes. He was absolutely essential for the win.I think this match is a step up in our progress this season. We can't fault ourselves when City had a bit of control at some range of the second. City is a great side atm and they were losing, so ofc they would put pressure and they have great quality to make it happen. We could have done better, but when Mikel came in it helped to settle the situation (and Cahill cut off some of his mistakes).We've been growing - as we should - and teams should start getting worried about facing us, especially at the Bridge. You can already label this as a Mourinho team and while I'm sure we'll have a few bad moments (and matches) coming in the next couple of months, I think the players are much more settled and if we continue progressing like this, we'll soon be unplayable at home and pretty tough away - no matter who we face.What can I say? I'm an optimistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Great performance by the whole team.Our defence was brilliant,ramires was outstandng as was oscar but torres completely dominated the city's defence and thats why he is my MOTM.Willian was pretty neat aswell after coming on.

bushman 2,043 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 As I was looking at Chelsea´s schedule, I see this team going to play against mediocre teams until they go to Arsenal on December 23rd. Plenty of confidence on the team now to win all their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Torres is back. Officially. What Bitter-Boas, King Robbie, King Carlo, Rafa all failed to do, José has done. ALL HAIL THE SPECIAL ONE!Okay, let's not go that far, but that was a top performance by Torres. I think we have to accept he is no longer a brilliant striker, but he is an excellent footballer that can have an important function for this team if these performances continue.

Ankit 3,176 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Ok, so i went for Torres for the MOTM poll and he totally and thoroughly deserves it but i want to mention Ramires as well. After today, i am convinced he has done some vodoo shit or some black magic, no way a man can have that much energy or stamina!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nachikethas 1,154 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hazard never play good against city. As much as dislike him aguero is currently one of the best striker in the worldand legend say Rambo is still running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegenTerry 273 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 He had nothing to do anywhere near the team facing City. He can play when the opposition does not have 11 players stronger and faster than him. Arsenal in midweek wil be his game. I'm talking in general,he doesn't play and player like him,who was best Chelsea player 2 seasons in a row should play much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
