Closed Chelsea v Spurs

[1chelsea 864]

Lampard needs to come off

[Jase 43,479]

That was rather tragic. Spurs were there for the taking especially with their obvious high line but we have made a complete mess of it with our poor use of the ball. Ugh!

LMAO at this thread.

Chill out people, game's going according to our plan, we just need to do better in the final third. A bit of luck won't hurt either.

I seriously think Mourinho has to change the formation back to a 4-2-3-1 and sub out either Ramires or Lampard for either Willian or Oscar. There are just not enough bodies in attack. It's so fucking frustrating. ZERO fucking shots on target. If Mourinho is not proactive at halftime, we won't win this match.

what an awful half. at times dominated by fucking spurs at our own ground is embarassing. maybe beside not talking at halftime anymore, mou should stop picking up the line-up?

Ramirez should go back to the pivot

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

The thing abt Mourinho is his too arrogant, wtf would u start Rami at the wing, its not like its ever worked before, I blame Di Mateo for showning everyone tht ramires can play at rightback

[haranr 485]

Eto'o is worse than Torres

Bullshit.

[haranr 485]

Fix this Jose

People who think Schurle cant play as a striker, should think again. Joachim Low uses him as a CF, and he is more suited to a 2nd striker role. He is way too technically limited to play the role Mourinho wants. He is a player to score goals, not a guy to play in a defensive side, exchange some clinical passes or to start a counter attack.

Löw isnt using him as a CF.

Ramirez should go back to the pivot

It is RamireS and not RamireZ...

[Henrique 9,133]

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.

No, thats why we need a modern DM. We already have an unidimensional DM in Mikel...I will never understand the fuzz here about Matic.

They're shit so let's go at them in the 2nd half

[diskoviolente 425]

Bo-o-o-o-ring. Inject some energy into this, José!

excuse me, but what frigging plan? Risking to concede a goal with some shaky defending and be absolutely poor attacking, creating nothing with a poor as piss attacking lineup?

Sorry, if that's the plan I want out.

You forget that he's also incredibly physically weak. He'll be physically dominated by most CB's in this league. And Low plays him as a winger. Schurrle was originally a striker in Mainz, but got converted to a winger. I'm not sure if that move did his career any good. He is only useful with space in front of him.
