themightyblue 443 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Bad game from him, but still got a huge future at Chelsea. Hope he plays a blinder against Liverpool zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazard was a workhorse doing very well tracking bac to help. Bertrand had a terrible game but he's young and will learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Hopefully, he learns from this game & shows his true ability in future games for Chelsea. mediator and Belgiannutt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 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.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 It was the worst exibithion in recent years with a Chelsea shirt.Well as long as we're not exaggerating 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.

Clevemayer 764 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 unbeliveable, one off game for Bert and thy start this, bertrand is quality and he has shown it quite often for us, glad you wheren't here when Lamps was here at 21 to 25, lamps was avarage till he was 25, grow up, its not about the age, especially not in that defensive area... can't belive this...cole had 4 off games in a row, why don't you slate him?...

Styles 9,790 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Bertrand had a very difficult night. Even the great Ashley Cole struggles without help from his midfielders so Bertrand stood little chance. The good thing is we're not going to play against teams as good as Shakhtar and monster players like Srna every week.Srna is really good. He has put in two clinics on how a RB should play in the two games.One thing I think is a problem for Bertrand is he always passes back and doesn't seem comfortable under pressure. It's an issue now but will be even bigger if he has plans on becoming first choice once Ashley moves on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,348 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Oh c'mon, seriously? He's a KID! With hardly any experience coming up a very slick team when we are transitioning into ATTACKING football..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevemayer 764 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 lets not forget (If I'm right) he gave an assist... and his crossing is right now 10 times the crossing of cole... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
