Fernando 6,585 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Our defense continues to be bad, been saying it from day one. And Drogba to be a super sub only. Best to always start with Costa or Remy from now on please. Other then that, a point is a point so ain't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Absolutely fuming. We should have put the game to bed by half time. On top of that Drogba stays on after a very poor performance. Play Remy just play Remy. Why the fuck wouldnt you play Remy. Mourinho underestimated Schalke and we lost 2 points because of it. Fuck sake.

nono 791 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Is it just me or does Ivanovic seem to be caught out of position for every terrible goal we've conceded this season so far ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyzz 711 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Every time we shifted out of 1st gear we caused them trouble. too bad we decided to do it for only 15 minutes. game could've been over by half time. bring on city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amblève. 4,995 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Jose has to take the blame for this result. Starting Drogba in such an important game was a no-no from the get-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeboii 1,844 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 First half was good, second was dismal really. Drogba was awful in both halves. Also, liked Hazard a lot he was fired up the whole game really. In the end he was desperate to seal the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDance 552 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Personally I think it was good for Drogba to be first, but when the second half comes on Costa should be on in his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeronimo 130 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Disappointed by not too worried. I have a feeling there'll be a lot of knee here reactions from this performance. In truth though, this is really the first game this season we weren't clinical.Drogba was totally ineffective and the team didn't take their chances. Team also switched off 2nd half. Let's bounce back against city! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Starting Drogba is one thing, not taking him off at the half is pure sentimental bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Positives:Filipe Luis was OUTSTANDING. Glad he got his chance to shine. MOTM.Hazard was awesome. As was Willian at points. Fabregas' passing is great as always.Ivanovic. Great going forward.Negatives:Didier Drogba should not start games. End of.Defence was weak, what's with all of the standing off these days?! I felt like I was watching a re-run of Arsenal last night at times.Subs: Why in the fuck do you bring Oscar on?! He adds nothing to these sorts of situations and this isn't just me criticising him, its the decision I have a problem with. Drogba should have come off at half time. Remy needed minutes and looked a threat but it was too lateToo much like last seasons basel game. We'll bounce back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion 2,476 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 When your defense shy away from tackles and your attack refuses to score you can't expect a lot more than that. Drogba had a mare of a match. Fabregas had an overall good game but two of his mistakes heavily contributed to the draw - being dispossessed which resulted in we conceding and missing that chance which would have put us in a comfortable 2-0 position. Hazard MOTM, exquisite assist for Cesc's goal and the drive to impact the game the whole time. Unfortunately today wasn't our day. Our defenders need to learn that fouling is sometimes necessary. And Mourinho should leave sentimentality and nostalgia aside, Drogba should have been off at HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 2,275 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Not too concerned, On another day with Costa starting and Schurrle on the wing we might have scored 4. Proud of the way we fought for the winner. Really went for it, and we're desperately unlucky not to get it.Roll on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Complacent. Lackluster. Nonchalant. Missed way too many chances. It looked like the players were already thinking about City in the weekend.But credit to Schalke for snatching a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,145 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 This match proved two things. You must take your chances or it will come back to bite you. The next thing is we should never get complacent and underestimate any CL team.To think that there quite a few people saying that it would be ok for all of Fabregas, Hazard and Costa to be rested for this game shows how naive and complacent some people are. As I said in the pre-match you cannot underestimate the CL and thinking you can take out your 3 best players for rotation is ludicrous considering this is our first CL game. Hope some people wake up really. A few were treating this match like a carling cup game by even hoping Baker would feature and Zouma start. Just Anyway we should have taken our chances. Luckily we have got a kind group so the draw does not really disappoint me much. Bring on City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneChan95 225 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think Luis did pretty well for a debut. I definitely prefer him there over Azpi. Produced a nice cross for Didier too. Not the best result though. I don't think Didier should have started at all and Remy would have been enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
