chelseawise 115 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My Take on yesterdays nightmare:1) Agree with all Drogba should not start and be used as 15 Min supersub2) Like Phillipe Luiz a lot. Hope we play him more3) We are going to regret as hell not getting either Benatia or Mangala4) Our Defence sucks. Terry and Cahill need to work very hard on their positioning. Endless times through ball I believe we should try Ivanovich in the middle and let Terry rest more.5) Instead of getting better Matic has gone down a bit this year, hope that changes.6) Our front players are fine and no worries there. Yesterday could have been 4-0 if luck was on our side.I think we will all find out how good we are this weekend. City attack will terrorize our defence, so I can see another rugby score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCFC 23 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Result relatively meaningless, but extremely disappointing none the less. I guess it's best to get it out of the system before the City game.Chelsea team review & player ratings on my CFC blog - check it out! http://blogchelseafc.cf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 A point against Schalke in our group isn't bad at all.It's not the end of the world that we only got a draw but one can't help but to feel disappointed at getting only a draw. Schalke were horribly depleted and have been on a poor run of form. We were at home but failed to take our chances. We really let them off the hook. Sporting Lisbon away next is gonna be a tricky game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself 793 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 First,this post was a joke to reduce tensions all over this forum cause everyone are like "bring back him,sell him,sack him blah blah"Second,that thing doesn't change fact that Oscar is our worst player last couple of months,even from january he is lost and unrecognizable and I think if he doesn't improve in the future he could be benched or even selled.And third,if we sell Oscar it would be min.30m € so please,tell me. do you think we would bankrupt if we add 10m for better player like Draxler is? No, we wouldn't go bankrupt. But we don't need him, especially for 40m (he's worth 20m max, unfortunately football is all about money now). Oscar and Draxler play a different role, so I don't understand the comparision. Oscar is essential in our system, he's played well so far this season.

Cholo 428 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Draxler is very inconstant and he can be heaven in one match and hell in another, he can be gold in a match and utter shit in the next match. I wouldn't like to have him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Mourinho brought more attacking footbal here, about what we needed, but it seems people can't accept it... or the problem is something else...I'm sorry for saying it, and I'm starting a new paragraph because this is aimed only at you or even at you at all, but it seems like some fans despite their complaints the whole of last season about how defensive we were set up and how dull and predictable our attack was, aren't ready at all for a new approach. Like, not even close ready for it. People want us to continue to excel defensively while being an attacking minded team - sorry, it's physically and numerically impossible. Others want our pivot/midfield to be as static and conservative as last year, sorry, but that's a change Mourinho wanted and the very reason why Cesc was brought here. And I'm sorry, but if a player is here to be a playmaker, regardless if played as a #10, #8 or false #7, we can't demand him to be an ace defensively. There's a distance between the workhorse and the guy who puts a shift defensively. Fàbregas has been executing - for most of it - what is expected from him both defensively and offensively. He only needs to polish some of his actions and get a better understanding with his new teammates. He can improve, but he can't change into this play some people are expecting (first, that's not who he is; second, that's not why he's here for). I don't even understand where they're coming from, what exactly they expect. I mean, is the expectation to play with two #6? Is for him to have the same energy, pace and stamina as Ramires? Is for him to double Oscar's tackles stats of his first four months last season? what do people want? I can't understand. Nothing seems reasonable... it seems like they want him to be what he isn't and for him to play a role he wasn't brought here to play. The root of the problem is that people want us to be a more attractive, but they aren't ready to accept the demands that comes with it. It's very simple actually. Comparisons with Lamps shouldn't even be made in the first place. Different players, different responsibilities given by José, but mainly different approaches of the game between then and now. It's like trying to get a square plug into a round switch - there's a saying for that in English, but I forgot it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draxler worth is much more than 20m,just take a look we sold D.Luiz for about 50m and J.Rodriguez is 40m I think and J.Draxler is much better player than both.If those games for Oscar was well I'm afraid to see him playing bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Luiz (before we sold him) was worth 20m MAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
