Closed Werder Bremen 3-0 Chelsea

[petr.breu 1,618]

What a shit performance... But it's preseason so who cares...

[Special Juan 28,141]

Also, that was one of the worst refereeing performances I've ever witnessed. The ref looked as if he was a boyhood Werder Bremen supporter. Shockingly poor.

That has been the story of pre-season, horrendous.

[Shakez 755]

It is pre-season but we need to pick up the pace. It seemed like everybody just came of a holiday,

[bababoom 4,478]

I'm gonna say it again, even though I know that the fanboys will get butthurt: Eden looked very out of form. Slow and predictable. It's not the end of the world, I know, he just started training. The thing is that the start of the season is just 13 days or so away, so he should hurry up getting his fitness back on track. I have huge expectations from him.

Cesc looked like the man responsible with the build-up and Torres needs to fuck off.

First of all he only had a few training sessions ffs and i thought he was one our better players in the second half.

The majority have

Mignolet would have got that penalty and second goal.

Just sayin'

HE was OUR only player in the second half who looked dangerous at all

[bigfan 67]

IMO there is no MOM

We are the MOM for watching this poor game

[Mechromancer 262]

Yeah... And to be fair, just look who play in the front. You can't expect too much.

[MichaelDance 552]

Felt the team is a bit relaxed at the beginning of the game. We didn't look dangerous. We made their defenders tired only towards end of the game. Our game is quite predictable. I feel we need to be more aggressive and quicker.

We've lost good players like Eto'o and Lampard, the new team needs to get back in the system we had before otherwise we will have another bad start and end up 3rd again.

[zolayes 14,489]

Thanks @James that was my 10000 rep ... waiting for Torres to reach that mark

After the Vitesse game - shut up you jug-earred twat

After today's game - good point Gary, always thought you were the best.

BREMEN TO WIN BUNDESLIGA!

I know he only had a few training sessions. I didn't make a huge deal out of it, but the start of the season is just 13 days away! He was WAY too slow today. Just look at that chance missed by Cesc, when Eden passed the ball to the Spaniard. I'm sorry I'm worried about the one who is, arguably, our best player. I should start cursing and swearing about Torres, instead....

agree all players - old and new - need to get into the system...I am just wondering if the system itself needs to be revisited in terms of speed and room for creativity

[Special Juan 28,141]

Tibo pulled off an absolute worldy by the way.

Thought Costa was very good too.

Sorry if that is a bit too positive for some.

[xPetrCechx 13,571]

Learn from It.

[lionsden 4,689]

I will pay to see what exactly it is that we do in training. I refuse to believe we practise any meaningful attacking drills with the way we play and if we do then we need to try different drills. either that or our highly paid, experienced, int'l players lack the capacity to implement the work done on the training ground in real match situations. I want to believe it's the former. we can't go into the new season with the same shit football. doing the same things and expecting different results is insanity.

[The Rising Sun 711]

So i guess pre season training also kind of means nothing.

Pre season games are real match simulations and its never a good feeling to see no direction and progression in style of play.

You can change the engine parts ( players ) from your old car, but if you are not at the same time changing the aero dynamics of that car ( playing style) then its never going to win you the race ( title)
