Closed Stoke v Chelsea

[zyzz 711]

We already could've killed the game off. If we go 2-1 up we'll win this one by 3-4 goals

Courtois>Cech.

[aerlgenx 49]

are we lacking in attacking option?of defending perhaps??

[zolayes 14,489]

positives ,,good attacking play ..we are creating BUT ... big mistake from Petr

[calculatingInfinity 1,452]

I'm totally convinced so far this season that Cech's no longer world class. He's amongst the Boruc's and Begovic's and Diego Lopez's now it seems. I love Cech but really want Courtois between the sticks next season.

Boruc lol

I do agree with the overall point though, getting Courtois in to compete next season is needed. Lets see what happens. Will forever love Cech but change could be good.

It was a howler from Cech.

It wasnt only Chech though, our defense had a huge flaw on that corner as well...

Just because Cech is making mistakes, it doesnt mean our defenders have been playing well!

3 goals condeded off set pieces in the previous game and in the next game......

I think I already mentioned this already, but it's not just in this game or against sunderland. This season, set pieces and crosses into the box have been giving us more problems than it normally does. Quite a few of the goals we've conceded have come from crosses into the box. Off the top of my head, Basel (h), Norwich, West Brom, Newcastle are a few of the games where we conceded a goal from a set piece or a cross into the box. Having said that, I don't think it's anything to panic about just yet.

Dumass goal to concede. Wtf was Cech doing?

[Hutcho 8,443]

Anyone got a good stream for me?

[Azpinator 2,325]

Good display but Torres and Ramires need to get their shit together in front of goal. 1 mistake led to a corner goal again..

[GhanaBoy 104]

I love how everyone forgot. Cahill's man was crouch. If Luiz had made the same error he would have been slaughtered

[Pizy 18,419]

Ramires is an absolutely brilliant finisher when he's running onto the ball. He's terrible when trying to set it up himself.

[The only place to be 11,313]

Can't blame Ramires for those misses - that's WHO he is, that's what he does. He has an inconsistent touch and will misplace passes and balloon shots over the bar, but he won't stop running all day. Personally I'd rather have a more composed presence in that spot and lose a bit of athleticism but we don't have that choice at the moment.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Even I can't defend Cech for that absolute brainfart.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

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

Same here, Stoke are fucking park walkers, no pressure at all, put on Lampsy to seize chances.

[Jase 43,479]

Oh gawd. This is just absolutely pathetic. Dominated the entire first half, created tons of chances but not incisive and decisive enough in the final to increase our lead and suddenly Stoke are leveled out of nowhere when they didn't threaten one bit. What was Cech doing for the goal?! Why on earth are we looking vulnerable from set pieces?! It's like watching us playing under Scolari again!

[GhanaBoy 104]

And Cahill losing his man?... Imagine if that was luiz...

[Sheva. 5,373]

Ramires should just stay back in the 2nd half, he's ruining more attacks than he is helping.
