Closed Basel v Chelsea

[Sheva. 5,373]

I'm not happy about it, but i did say this formation has a problem against better teams due to having no one on the right.

We can win this game with 4-2-3-1, take off one of the CM's - Lampard - for Hazard or Schurrle.

[Special Juan 27,552]

Fuck sake FK I can see this happening.

How can they get through every single time they attack!??

Because we are weak.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Jose off to the dressing room and probably to the drawing board

[Rmpr 8,977]

Yes. I have a problem with a tactically rigid manager that's totally incapable of playing any other style of football and relies heavily on counter attack (pub team tactic). when we fired AVB I though that would be the end of terrible, low quality football but I guess I was wrong.

Sometimes I think TOPTB is right!

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

Absolutely shite. Lampard has no business in the first 11.

[xPetrCechx 13,565]

Very Very Bad!

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

still 0-0.

Now just reset and just push those ugly fuckers back into the alps.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Lucky us.

[zyzz 711]

Thank you Cech...

Emenalo just summoned his team of scout to a meeting and the subject of the meeting was discovering 2 new attacking midfield target for the January window as a kneejerk response to this performance

Mikel needs to be subbed he has been a passenger a perfect night for someone who we are told protects the back four Maka would have excelled tonight and now we have a passenger ,he is being walked over and is in no mans land .

AVB is doing wonders at spurs isn't he?

Your a good act but you are on far too long.

Take your hating elsewhere, we aren't interested.

Mou leaves early. Attention seeker .

On a serious note, terrible half! Absolute rubbish! Keep playing like this and we're going home with 0 pts.

[The only place to be 11,313]

The midfield simply isn't doing enough. I don't think I've seen Ramires so anonymous in a game or Lampard so sloppy. Oscar is being completely wasted on the wing and can't dictate the play like he has done and Willian is working his bollocks off but not getting any support.

It's nothing that can't be fixed at half-time though.

What's more concerning is some of the comments in this thread. Once again a few posters gleefully taking potshots at certain players like they do every week. It's apparently all they watch football matches for. A poor 45 minutes on a shitty pitch against a team who have worked their bollocks off, but it's only half-time and we ain't losing.

You mean Lampard

still optimistic after a horrible first half display.
