Tomo 21,751 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Interesting, because they actually aren't playing together in pivot today. It's van Ginkel-Matic.This isn't a comment based on today, it's more a gut instinct, I don't think there as compatible together as people think.

calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Just so we know:Jose chose to sell Lukaku and keep Torres...Lukaku wanted to go and was allowed, to stop him bitching like the child he is during the whole season. I however don't think Jose decided to keep Torres, lets be real here, the club would sell him if it was possible... But it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The team isn't playing well at all. Cesc isn't having a good match at all. No comments on Torres.The pivot isn't working that well defensively, there's a hole between the back four and the pivot.It's still early, pre-season matches are for those tests, but it looks scarily bad so far.Like I said before, we always look like we don't train passing movement, that's why it looks like they are playing with each other for the first time.Mourinho has to start practicing passing movement in training sessions. This lack of linkup play is getting on my nerves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaCasual 22 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 ppl saying "calm down its just pre-season" need to uppercut themselves in the chin. results arent important, the way you play is of paramount importance, and if you are playing in an obvious and uninspiring fashion, without desire or conviction and like you dont care, then there is very real cause for concern.

Barbara 15,149 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!it still isn't worse than the sitters Torres keep missing. It could be 1x1 now if it was even my mother in that rebound instead of Torres.No excuse to our defense, but our main problem continues to be having Torres in the team. Zouma is 19yo that is here to learn and grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray 9,441 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Our attack will look totally different when teams start putting 2-3 players around Hazard.Again back to our old strategy? I hope Costa and Fabregas can take some of the heart as well tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishBlue 426 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 seriously though, this looks like Chelsea from last season - we don't have a clue when we have to create something and we face a team with most players defending.It's easy to take points from us if you just park the bus and play the Chelsea way :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thekid9 418 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 neededI'm sorry, but what has Costa done anymore than the rest?? He's given away about 4 fouls...that's all I can recall everyone is having a shit game! Barring TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The way Torres kills my mood everytime I watch a Chelsea game is unbelievable. I just hope Diego Costa takes the league by storm so that this fucking fraud can rot on the bench until the end of his bloody contract.First goal he loses possession, fails to foul the opponent so that he can prevent them going on the counter, Chelsea gets exposed and one goal down.Second goal - he misses a sitter, one minute later Werder scores.

Yeboii 1,844 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 In my opinion Zouma has been decent, one big mistake but I think he will come great for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 This isn't a comment based on today, it's more a gut instinct, I don't think there as compatible together as people think.Jose's recent comment about Modric is quite telling. Modric is a very different player to Fabregas in my opinion, had we signed him there would have been no need/use for Fabregas. Should have tried to find a player like Modric instead of settling for Fabregas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer1257 3,282 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 MVG and Matic as a pivot does not work.MVG seems to be a younger Mikel,or am I wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself 793 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Like I said before, dont compare zouma to the other french cbs.Your only going to be disappointed. Why the hell is everyone so fucking pessimistic all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Las7 951 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 He didnt choose, Lukaku wanted to leave Torres doesnt. How hard is it to understand?Suarez wanted to leave Liverpool last season, just because a player wants to leave - doesn't mean a manager or a board can't do anything about keeping him.Right now we are a Costa injury away from disaster - yet again I don't feel confident even after the wonderful transfer window we have had. We need to sign another striker or promote Bamford ahead of Torres and send Torres off to the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
