bethos1 802 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm not too bothered by this, I don't see us ever playing with this line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton 2,120 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 pre season means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.I know, but still this is really awful.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Meh its pre-season,You are supposed to have games like this so that you are mentally ready for the rigors of the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,944 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 This idea that JOSE doesnt practice attacking moves in training is hilarious lol. Nooo he completely neglects the attacking side of the game and tells the lads that they must only train in defending the goal and hope we win..!!!!!

bigfan 67 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Ahh yeah, that will sort the defence right out! yes defence needs to improve, but having Drogba should put more pressure on their defence and CM which should reduce pressure on Chelsea's defenders...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I could care less about the scoreline. There has been absolutely no progress in the way we play despite the new signings. It's going to take time, yes, but it's very disappointing to see us play so horribly. Man Utd under van Gaal already have a clear philosophy. I'm yet to see our philosophy since Jose took over. Playing counter attack and relying on defensive organisation is not cutting it and it won't with this type of squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanicus 5,208 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Matic and Cesc in the CM together screams better on paper than in practice.Interesting, because they actually aren't playing together in pivot today. It's van Ginkel-Matic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Our attack will look totally different when teams start putting 2-3 players around Hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myself 793 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 everyone (bar courtois) has been very poor so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Matic and Cesc in the CM together screams better on paper than in practice.but that's not our pivot today, so I honestly don't get your point?Our best half this pre-season had been exactly with them in the pivot...

romeeh 139 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Not too worried really. Once we get Torres and Salah on the bench where they belong and put Cahill next to Terry we will be like a new team. Still not sure about if Cesc should play the No.10 role or in the pivot.salah scored in pre season more than any CFs or winger ,torres yes he cant do shit and didnt score but is that salahphobia or something?

Madmax 9,219 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Matic and Cesc in the CM together screams better on paper than in practice.It's Matic and MVG.We'll do well to drop Fabregas alongside Matic and get him on the ball to quicken things up. He won't work at 10 against organised sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Matic and Cesc in the CM together screams better on paper than in practice.Well they are still learning to play with each other, quite a bit of the team is. Lets not take pre-season games for more than they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekid9 418 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 might be pre-season, but it's not good enough! Hope Zouma is nowhere near out team this season! hasn't got a kalou! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 ONE great chance to equalise and it HAD to fall to Torres ... only one having a good game imo is Costa . one great save fromCourtois ,, there should be more time on the ball in the second half ,, BUT a much better performance needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Just so we know:Jose chose to sell Lukaku and keep Torres... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 433 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 People saying its only pre season but we should be concerned about just how poor we look, its only 2 weeks before the season starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,953 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 We have yet to look convincing at the back in preseason which is worrying and very surprising.- Matic and Luis have looked our best two players. - We look short of ideas in the final third.- Fabregas need to play deeper and control the game more. He hasn't been influential enough further up.- Torres is unbelievably terrible as usual. I literally HATE watching him play for us these days. Garbage.
