Ryan was good defensively yesterday but when it came to the United's third, he was qeuite unable to produce a quality cross. He was found by Mata or Hazard in a very good position many times but failed to deliver. With Piazon our fleft flank was quite toothless. However I believe he will improve himself surely.

So much has been forgotten, hasn't it?

He didn't have a good game, but it's too easy to blame just Ryan and say no word about Hazard "helping" him defensively.

What on earth? Hazard was a workhorse doing very well tracking bac to help. Bertrand had a terrible game but he's young and will learn.

Hazard's help for Bertrand was poor. There were times, especially in the first half, when Bertrand had to go forward (although, we weren't really in full control) because Hazard was not on his left site (nor was Mata or whoever was supposed to take over Hazard's position while rotating), and as soon as we lost the ball, we were fucked. What happened were long passes down the left flank into space and no one to cover for Bertrand. We were absolutely exposed for not having a "normal" width.

Hazard's help for Bertrand was exactly what you would expect from a CAM/winger. Bertrand just had a very poor game, thats it. Hopefully, he learns from this game & shows his true ability in future games for Chelsea.

I feel the same way about Bertrand I did before the game. The people who thought that he could easily take over from Cole were always being ridiculous. He's played what, 5 or 6 games at a high level at LB in his life? He needs time. It's possible he'll turn out to be an excellent LB and it's possible he will never be good enough to start regularly for us.

It was the worst exibithion in recent years with a Chelsea shirt.

Well as long as we're not exaggerating :rolleyes:

He had a bad first half. It happens, especially when he is having his CL debut at LB. And his job was not not made any easier by Hazard leaving him alone vs Willian and Serna.
