Closed Basel v Chelsea

[kellzfresh 7,229]

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 .

Just stop it

Sometimes I think TOPTB is right!

A response people who are incapable of rebutting a statement or forming a counter argument use. Jose maybe very successful but he's and has always been tactically rigid.

[Jase 43,479]

Well, that was rather pathetic. Lucky to still be at 0-0 at HT. We had 0 - ZERO - shots in the first half and the only attacking threat is coming from Willian. And not to mention, we seem intent of giving the ball away needlessly and let Basel hit us on the counter. :banghead: Team needs sorting!

Lucky to stay level, Mourinho seriously needs to use the hairdryer in the dressing room or we'll lose.

Lampard should be taken off after the break, been fucking shocking today and clearly not fit to play 90 minutes two times a week anymore. Maybe give a chance to De Bruyne?

Ooh come on mate, this can't be Lampard's fault. It's because Mikel has been playing, he's been shit...

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.

AVB is doing poorly at spurs because like Jose, he's terrible at getting his team to break down packed defenses and create chances in multitude of ways i.e tactically rigid. which proves my point

Second half can't be much worse. Mata on please. The players look leggy!

Come on Torres. Save the day, feel free to use your mask from last season!!

You are ridiculous. Your head is really not in the right frame of mind.

How long before someone turns up here and say's everything was great under Benitez and we were playing like Brazil of the 70s?

Mikel is so bad, i always give him a chance but he always disappoints, doing nothing, and when he's doing something 1/3 chance it will end as a stupid thing.

Lampard and Ivanovic... omg. Ivan is looking awful for more than a month, i dont understand why every time he has the ball its got to be the last ball, he thinks he's a playmaker? horrible game from the super-slow Lampard as well... they are quick, they press, the game is fast, its not for Frank to play.

Three players i dont think we should have in our first line up.

Lampard was lucky not to give away a penalty, he's been clumsy and immobile. He'd better come off or his luck is gonna run out.

Awful first half and I have to put a lot of this down to team selection (which I am generally reluctant to do). The formation is a mess. This seems to be a real 4-3-3 for the first time but...Oscar is not a winger and has been useless there. Lampard is 35 and just ran a ton 3 days ago and has been a waste of space. I also know I am in the minority, but I simply don't like Azpilicueta as a LB. He got beaten repeatedly against West Ham and he is being pulled apart even worse tonight. To be fair, whoever is on the left (Willian? Oscar?) is giving him no support either. Because he is right-footed, it's also very hard for him to attack on that flank and Ivanovic isn't attacking much which means we have no width at all in attack. If we want to play a 4-3-3, we have you know, actual wingers. We also have real squad depth. Why not use it? Mata or Schurrle in for Lampard should solve a number of problems.

Sign Pellegrini or Wenger. They won nothing in the last 10 years but it's really funny.

LOL? Is this even Chelsea or some team from Romania?

Tactical rigidity has got fuck all to do with this performance. The fact is that this is the ideal game for counter-attacking tactics but the players have failed to implement ANY tactics thus far. Defensively there are too many gaps in the middle and going forward the movement has been dismal.

I guess you must have read that Jose is tactically rigid but it really doesn't pertain to anything that you might've seen in the last 45 minutes of football.

At least Willian checks the 'work-rate' box.

You believe your own hype mate, just silence your noise, read a nursery rhyme and go to bed.

The cow jumps over the moon....honest.

Sleep tight, you won't be missed.

He is the messiah remember after his 2 goals
