Closed Stoke v Chelsea

[Rmpr 8,977]

Please take Torres out!

[Leif 6,006]

Not all is lost. As we conceded so did City. Both games 1-1. Plenty of time to do damage.

[Hamilton 2,120]

Wtf Torres..

[bushman 2,043]

Selfish plays by Ramires, shitty goalkeeping by Cech & the score is tied after the complete dominance.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

And people here think we're sound defensively and don't need any replacements. Our defence is laughably bad.

That's completely different from the other set-pieces we conceded off. That is pure and simply a goalkeeping howler and it's not the first one this season from Cech.

Twice in winning positions his mistakes have drawn the other team level, and another one put us behind.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

What a fucking shit! Are they playing a friendly or something?! Ridiculously slouch.

[Toli 977]

I really wouldn't ever expect to see us so bad at defending set pieces under mourinho...shocking really.

it was the same with real madrid. they conceded tons of goals at set pieces.

we are playing quite well. controlling the game and getting some chances. the goal was clearly cechs fault.

It was a howler from Cech.

Good first half undone by that stoke goal

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Perfect game for Lampard, Ramires was bloody wasteful.

[darrus 422]

How to dominate the game and have the score tied.

Damn.

Hoping for better 2nd half, and please someone score finally.

And yes, this time defence is not to blame for conceded goal. Cech's fuck-up.

[Pizy 18,419]

Dominate, dominate, dominate and then for the 4 consecutive time in back to back games we concede an AWFUL set piece goal.

We should've scored at least 2, maybe even 3.

We better not lose to this terrible team.

Clearly you haven't followed Mourinho's teams. I swear 75% of the goals Real Madrid conceded against small teams came from set pieces. Perhaps 50% from corner kicks. A lot of them during the first 10 minutes too.

I used to think this happened because of Sergio Ramos' stupidity but now I guess not lol.

[De_ChrapQaa 192]

no need to panic, just our offense need to carry us through 2nd half

That was all Cech.

Ramires's finishing and decision making cost us, Torres also doesn't time his runs correctly inside the box and once against set piece defending is bloody awful.

Still Stoke are drawing against the run of play, if we play like this in the second half we should still win this match - but I think it's time to bring on Ba, Torres hasn't reacted the way he should to his awful display midweek. We don't need someone to be passing the ball - we need a poacher to be in the right place to finish off the chances we create.

[The Skipper 20,593]

I would be tempted to put on Lampard for Ramires right now.
