Closed Chelsea v Spurs

[Gilvorak 3,734]

It's the freaking line up. The only players in that line-up with any discernible technique are Eto'o and Hazard. And as usual the fullbacks give us nothing in attack. Ramires and Lampard, nothing from the middle. We have been terrible going forward for far too long now. Far too long.

Hopefully, we revert to a 4-2-3-1 in the 2nd half. Ramires/Lampard out. Oscar in. And if things don't change in the next 15 mins, Schurrle for Willian.

No it's not solely the lineup. Mourinho teams have never been great at passing.

Lampard and Ramires are hardly ones to knit passes or create something and Matic is holding, doesnt work

[1chelsea 864]

Fuck it eto what is that

[Muzchap 8,966]

I love you Schurrle got that cunt Vertonghen - nice work

[Drogba4ever15 47]

Frustrating or what

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Most won't say it, but I blame Jose partly for the line-up and formation today. He got it wrong. You simply can't leave out both Willian and Oscar and change from our best formation (4-2-3-1) to a 4-3-3. And our players are not so good that when you change stuff, they respond to it. One change in personnel can fuck us up.

I could predict we were going to find it tough with that line-up and formaton. Our only creative player is Hazard. And he's a winger.

We should have gone with: Eto'o

Hazard, Oscar, Willian

Matic, Lampard/Ramires

Spurs look very suspicious at the back on the few occasions we have actually attacked their box.

why are we sitting too deep

[Alabama 1,992]

Schurrle is nothing but a COC player...sadly Ramires is showing signs of that as well.....

Why do we always play so shit in the first half?? It does my fucking head in.

[drog.ba 239]

fucking awful corner, Lampard needs to come off

[Muzchap 8,966]

Wow that is poor...

Really poor

Oh well - HAS to get better

[Jusek 2,031]

weak sauce

[Drogba4ever15 47]

Eto'o is worse than Torres

[StrategiC 73]

bad corners is a virus

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Zero midfield play, passing is atrocious as usual, Schurrle refusing to stay wide & Eto'o is completely isolated.

At least Azpi and the defense in general are playing well.

[Pizy 17,861]

Well, think every one of us saw that first half coming.

Typical of us. No connection between the midfield and attack and we can't keep the ball for longer than a pass or two. This is why we NEED someone creative next to Matic. None of our current ones can hold the ball and dictate the tempo.

Shürrle with two terrible 1st halves in a row.
