Closed Man City 2-0 Chelsea

[duo11bluecl 207]

This is nothing but a line up. Scroll through the posts and you will find a thousand of line ups like this. Epic fail..

Well you ask for Jose's best team, there you have it.

[terrace supporter 0]

Willian no end product; Rambo woeful passing; Mikel is like an immovable object out there just jogging around; Cech flapping around; Eto'o and Torres invisbru; Luiz typically un-assured.

Only player who was up to par I think was Cahill.

Poor match - on wards and upwards

Totally agree with Lars on this one, especially Mikel - why does "M" keep picking him ahead of Lampard, schurrle,Oscar ? Mikel always passes the ball backwards or to another Chelsea player under pressure, also he does'nt really know where his position is his marking isn't any better either, many who read this will disagree - well you need to take your blinkers off.

Galatasaray offered to buy him last year but what a shame they saw the light. . . .

[Sidzeret 2,257]

that's the same Piers Morgan who was saying he wished he had Mourinho as Arsenal manager instead of Wenger. Keep dreaming you phone hacking wanker

He definitely got an agenda against Mourinho. Also I've never seen a bigger hypocrite.

[Special Juan 28,182]

Why is Cech losing it?

[Sidzeret 2,257]

???

The next meeting for the comunity shield 2014-2015 will be different! And it's better to be beaten by city and go out of the competion than to be beaten by fuckin' Swansea!!

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Well that was painful to watch (to say the least). I have seen monkey fights which have been better organized than our defence was today. We lost the plot when we played our A team. It was not the samr game as the PL game. Our players looked tired even after the wba game, and players like hazard, willian, matic should have been no where near the grass. People who were stupidly saying that we shiuld be playing our strongest eleven should probably see, why that was not a good idea.

Anyways some pointers which are not really about the gane but in general

1. Mikel should not be a chelsea player comr next season. Simply not good enough. Not emough energy to suit out style, not enough pavu to counter. Simply doea not give us anything except closing off matches that are already won.

2. If luiz is a chelsea player next season it shiuld be as a DM, not a CB. He is not a good CB for us. End of.

Cech- a very poor display. Coukd mot have dobe anything for the goal but his shot handling, cross handling, ball distribution were pathetic. People should look at some of his performances this season before blindly playing the legend card in the cech-courtois debate. 5/10

Iva - was actually not that bad. The closest we cane to scoring was thru hin, made some brilliant headed clearances. 7/10

GC- GOOD performance. And rhat is saying a lot when u team has been mowed down. 8/10

DL- abysmal, awful, pathetic. .. well u get the trend here. The worst part was it seemed that he dint want to be on thw pitch. 3/10

Azpi- MOTM for me. Intercepted balls. Ran his ass off.important blocks. Good game. 9/10

Mikel- a "nothing" performance. Dint play the way jose would have wanted our 2 DMS to play. Let players get between the mid and the defense line too easily for bith the goals. Simply not good enough. 5/10

Matic- started the gane well but seemed ready to drop down towards the end. Multiple lobs over the defence s which found no one. Not a good gane. 6/10

Hazard- a couole of good runs but nothibg excepr for that. Jose is going over board on his quest to nake EH the next CR. Eh is not yet at that physicality level that he can play every game at the best and highest level. 6/10

Willian- looked knackered from minute one. Dint do any of the things he did in the first match. Not sure if it was tactical or not but probably would have been cos well he dint do anything. 5/10

Rambo- lost the ball, looked lost, and dint even run around like a headless chicken. Lost clichy far far far too easily for the first goal. Hope rambo finds his form back as thia is the business end of the season. 4/10

Etoo- shocked by his substitutio. Won some important 50-50 balls. Was integral in a couple of moves we made. Baffling decision by jose. 7/10

Subs-

Salah- he was on the pitch??? Where??? Honestly dint see him. How he is better than schurrle, I won't understand... fuck that, how is he better than moses, I won't underatand. 5/10

Torres- came on and made a good run , won a couple of header, thab made some good runs off the ball only to be ignored by hazard and iva most of the time.

Oscar- could not have done muxh even if he was superman. We were getting rolled ober.

In the end we gor outplayed, outmuscled, Out passed and bloody well all everyrhinged by a team that wanted to win this matxh a lot morw than we did.

Dude, our performance was not worth your effort at this post. Nice one though ktbffh

Why is Cech losing it?

He’s been incredibly nervous lately. It’s probably just a coincidence, but he doesn’t look very confident when Terry is not there and Luiz takes his place. Now I don’t blame Luiz for that at all, that’s just an observation. Cech is usually very calm.

Or perhaps there is some pressure because of Courtois? But I doubt that, he seemed very sensible about it in his latest interview.

Nah not having it, it's people trying to point fingers at the wrong people when it suits them after a few so called poor results.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

I hate Piers Morgan, that fucking vagina rat

Shouldn't that cunt be busy hacking phones?

[Fernando 6,589]

Two things, Mourinho thinks this is important trophy but the players desire, lack of urgency says otherwise. As well it can be tiredness but that's the job of the manager to rotate the players.

Second we miss Terry just as they miss aguero and fernandinho with us.

So it even out.

They where the best, and at this moment still the best team in the land.

We have shown glimpses of our potential but we are not there to sustain it for a full season.

Maybe next season we will be ready.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Apparently he is taking a hook at Chelsea especially Hazard. How can he call Hazard over-rated?

I’m not pointing fingers at all. I’ve said “it’s probably just a coincidence”.

FINAL WHISTLE VERDICT: THE RIGHT RESULT

Jose Mourinho was left in no doubt the best team won today…

http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3671363/title/final-whistle-verdict-the-right-result

[BlueLyon 9,359]

As long we are this shit in attack, playing on luck, opponent mistakes and hoping to score goal somehow, as long Mou plays so defensive against fucking West Broms or WHUs, we wont be a real threat for some time. Mou is master tactic, big game coach, but he is clueless how to beat low team by big difference. Im sure we have a team that could completely destroy at least one team in PL, but Mou cant do that. He doesnt have skill to beat a team 8:0 or sth like we did last year with Villa. Such win would be extremely imoportant moral boost for our attacking players. Right now we play very reserved, this 1:0 protecting the lead is such bullshit. Yes we win in the end, but we could win by 2/3/4/5 goals, not a single fucking one. Ffs Liverpool is destroying teams here and there, we just sit back protecing 1:0. What kind of fucking football is that? Mou is great in big games, but he is idiot when comes to small ones and goes for that 1:0 win when he should go for 3:0 win at least.

We are in transition now so its ok for this season but I will be damn pissed if we will win PL next year and still play 1:0 80% of the games. We spend 100 mio per year for new players and its time for Mou to start showing that. Defensive tactics agains small teams are ridiculous. Its terrible to look this team and players like Hazard who win just by 1:0 or even draw/lose vs small teams because Mou tactics while we should be running the show.

And ffs Mou rest some players!

[Fernando 6,589]

One pointless lose to city, and you act like the world ends.

Who said that?

Erm we didnt play defensive against WHU...

Liverpool might be scoring more than us but they still dropped points just like us. We aint playing 1-0's we just dont have an amazing striker/s like Liverpool and Man City. Think you need to relax a little, this time last year we werent even sure we would finish in the top four.

[Jase 43,479]

Two pointers to make:

1. Ever since we drew 1-1 against West Brom on Tuesday, have seen people used the excuse of 'tiredness' for the two points dropped and again, the same excuse being thrown about after the defeat today. While I agree that maybe a factor in why we suddenly experienced two poor performances and results, it is only valid till a certain extent IMO. It's too easy after performances and results like this to say it's down to fatigue. Had some people pointed out to me that today's match was our 4th game in 13 days but am not exactly buying it especially when we had a range of 2-4 days of rest in between those matches to rest and prepare. If anything, this could well be the inevitable drop in form after having played so well and achieved many positive results over the past 1 1/2 months.

That of course lead to the point of why Mourinho hasn't rotate the starting XI a little bit more. While I do agree that he should be playing the likes of Schurrle, Cole etc more, one could also argue that because the starting XI put out today has been performing well and got us to where we are and hence Mourinho probably didn't see the need to change and disrupt any consistency especially when we have been pretty much playing one game per week since the start of January. One, however, suspects Mourinho will probably rotate a tad more (hopefully) over the coming weeks tough games in the league and Champions League match coming up as well as not forgetting Matic and Salah are suspended for the latter competition.

2. Said this before and not doubting Terry's influence and leadership in this team for one moment but if we are THAT reliant on him, then I fear for us when he retires. It's a bit concerning that when you look through this team and there isn't a standout leader that takes charge in the manner that Terry does or one that does in their own way but vocal and commanding enough to make himself trustworthy and reassuring to other players and us fans watching the game. Look through the team and we can probably see some that can be a leader but not necessarily a standout one to lead us in the future. There doesn't seem to be one that is stepping up to the plate and take complete charge when Terry or even Lampard isn't even playing. At this rate, we may well have to simply pick one fella to be captain and hope he does a good job.

[Atwa 78]

Bad game all around tonight and kinda highlights the problems we have going into the final stretch. John out is obviously massive, but up front we still have immense troubles breaking down even mid-low table defenses. Today we didn't even bother their back.

Azpil was my MOTM; he at least showed some heart out there.
