Closed Chelsea v Sunderland

You realise Ivanovic almost put us 2-1 up right?

And no, we didn't look much better with Azpi at right-back last season because he was still getting stick for his crosses.

People need to understand what a cross is. Someone actually has to be on the other end of it, so if someone can tell me who that person is in our team then I'd love to know.

Shit strikers. Been the problem all season. Still a problem now.

Shit strikers and only 1 good midfielder that's the problem.

it doesn't matter if Drogba and Adebayor are in the box if Ivanovic can't get his cross past the defender

Lamps for ramires.

[Henrique 9,133]

Good 1st half, but for me we just ca't accept that kind of goal. Only a win can keep us alive, but that goal was probably the most stupid one I've seen this season.

Defense making other unbelievable mistakes.

[The only place to be 11,313]

It doesn't matter, our players were flooding into the box, he had options to aim for - a low, hard cross into a dangerous area could have at least tested their defence. You seriously can't be defending Ivanovic's dreadful crosses because we haven't got height in the box.

On two threatening occasions he completely killed our attack because of his inability to cross effectively.

Height, movement, call it what you want. Sunderland are doing well getting bodies back.

But yeah, the problem is Ivanovic because...well why not?

I seem to recall you spouting the same stuff last week despite him crossing beautifully for Salah who managed to fuck it up. Then when Ba came on in the second he hit another one for him.

Same tedious shit every week.

Shit strikers arent the problem he isnt getting his crosses past the 1st!!! defender. and its not like he is doing it sometimes, it happens quite a lot. and there were options on these 2 attacks. you can also put in crosses low and hard and not only high...

I didn't know Sunderland played in La Liga.

What exactly is schwarzer giving us that we can't by blooding in a youth like Blackman in this game?

Lol, so one good cross eliminates all the other bad crosses/killing our play in the final third he's done this season. Alright mate.

[Ze Mario 638]

[Strike 7,212]

Read what I'm saying. Azpi got the same criticism for his crosses last year and I defended him the same. Go and look in his thread if you don't believe me 'mate'.
