Closed Chelsea v West Ham

[bushman 2,043]

Jose anybody home ? Changes are needed urgently.

[Pizy 18,917]

Mikel is utterly pointless and useless in a game like this. Too slow, too negative, and offers nothing going forward.

[yuvala 2,167]

It's like everything is against us.

So fucking frustrating and annoying trying to play football against a side who doesn't. They just park 10 men behind the ball and when they finally do get the ball themselves they just heave it into the box. Then they time waste at every opportunity.

We have no ideas going forward against parked buses like this.

Yea.. we really have to get better at games like these..

Dawson's goal wasn't offside. BT Sport just showed it.

[yuvala 2,167]

Lamps time?

[Fernando 6,585]

Well that's the usual Mourinho style of the past.

We play shit first half and then he does some changes and everything well.

Here hoping for the same, cause we can't fuck up today after Arsenal drop points.

Please don't fuck it up!!!!

I dont get why Azpi is playing as a LB in this sort of game?

Let's stop with the hypocrisy. Before the game started, everyone was saying the lineup looked solid.

What is the point of Mikel in this game? I like him and rate him as a player, but we're not under any sort of pressure, west ham aren't trying to score. So he's basically useless in this game...

[Jype 6,398]

So much negativity here.

Mourinho at half time will make sure the players know what's expected of them and we'll still win this. Just need to score one goal and more will follow, it's not like West Ham can keep defending with 10 men if they're losing the game.

Mikel finally passes the ball forward and it gets intercepted... typical.

Matic should of started (although we're probably resting him for City), Ramires and Mikel are taking too many touches allowing West Ham to get back into their shape.

[Sheva. 5,373]

I'd take our typical 1-0 win right now and just move on.

[Svita 10 186]

Where is Mata when we need him most? Doesnt Mata anyway

[SinineUltra 1,170]

This kind of game reminds me of Chelsea's attack 3-4 years ago when we were constantly stuck in the final third and couldn't score. Hopefully Jose has the remedy.

stupid adebayor. its freekick and why he had to stand in offside position?

[The Skipper 20,609]

Mikel is utterly pointless and useless in a game like this. Too slow, too negative, and offers nothing going forward.

Agreed. From what it sounds like, Matic should be playing to help the transition in attack. Likewise with Ashley not playing and the stupid Azpi at LB experiment.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Just get Lamps on. They aren't packing the half with 11, they are packing their own box with 11. They are even leaving gaps on the outside of the box that's how deep they are. Just get Lamps on and let him take shots from there.

[drog.ba 239]

Bring Mata on

[The Chels 2,502]

The number of players in the starting 11 whose distribution is poor, either in this game and/or normally, is absolutely ridiculous. The worst offenders thus far in this game are Ramires, Cech and Ivanovic (except that pass to Hazard) as usual, and surprisingly Willian too - I honestly can't believe that a £30m attacking midfielder approaching his prime can't cross the ball properly and often can't get it past the first man.

Playing against Parked Bus... Like we did against barca...

[Hutcho 8,443]

Matic for Mikel sounds like a good idea.
