POST-MATCH DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



2014/15 Capital One Cup 4th Round
28th October, Tuesday, 2014
New Meadow
19:45 Kick Off (UK time)

[Liquidator 5,176]

Sometimes great players get you through a game by themself. Mo Salah undoubtedly did that tonight

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Christensen was immense, an absolute joy to watch down the right hand side, so very impressed with that kid! Well done young man, way to make an impression!

Same for Ake, he was superb throughout.

Worried about the lack of creativity by some in our attacking midfield.

Thought Drogba was a mixed bag but worked damn hard and took his finish well, it was nice to see him rallying the troops at certain points in the game.

FANTASTIC away support too. Kudos to those guys!!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Onward we go!!!!!!

Drogba man of the match for me today.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

I'm still not sure why Baker isn't even getting a sniff this season. The guy is almost 20, and is one of our best English prospects in the team. I maintain that he should have played instead of Mikel tonight, who was a basically a nonentity.

Also Izzy Brown should have gotten some minutes towards the end, he has some PL experience from his time at West Brom. Drogba could barely even walk towards the end there.

[Laylabelle 9,535]

That move by salah haha oh dear lord!not a amazing performance n good on Shrewsbury for their part

[The Chels 2,502]

Zouma has a really good leap but his timing is awful. Must've mistimed his leap at least 5 times in the second half.

[Kendrick 339]

Gotta love Sky's "What a shame" lol those biased c**ts.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Drogba on playing 2 games in 3 days: "It's not hard when you have these #CFC fans behind you"

[zolayes 14,489]

MOM Ake ...

Let go of the fantasy of youth players getting any real game time.

If it happens some time in the future, great. But I wouldn't get my hopes up. Chelsea/Mourinho has different priorities.

Haha you're having a field day today! Give the guy a break its not like he's completely useless.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I did fucking say so.

I think we'll be lucky if it's 2-0 tbh, they're playing some great football (they beat Bury, who are in the play-off spots) 5-0 just two weeks ago, and they've won four on the bounce, and they've only lost four out of 15 games this season. I think they also have the second best attack and second best defence in League Two. This isn't a team that ships a lot of goals.

[The Chels 2,502]

Gotta love Sky's "What a shame" lol those biased c**ts.

To be fair I think every neutral watching was cheering on Shrewsbury and you can't blame them.

Phil Brown on R5.

"It shows how much chelsea were panicing, having to bring on Eden Hazard and Nemanja Vidic"

What a spacker.

[edetarod 2,155]

we've gone back to scoring max 2 goals per game, very disappointing

[Laylabelle 9,535]

Shame Liverpool won.hey ho we got there

[DYC. 7,542]

Haha. Replace Nemanja Vidic by John Terry and he remains an complete idiot. Hazard played what, 5 sec?

[Rom2013 446]

Salah was the best player in the pitch today. I know many will vote for Ake or the Christensen. Everyone knows why... obviously it's not based on performance.

[The Chels 2,502]

Phil Brown on R5.

"It shows how much chelsea were panicing, having to bring on Eden Hazard and Nemanja Vidic"

What a spacker.

I knew as soon as Hazard came on that people would be saying 'Chelsea needed Hazard to beat Shrewsbury' even though he was on for less than a minute.
