Special Juan 28,141 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sublime, sublime performance from the team last night. Talk about dominant football from start to finish, that was incredible.Our ability to get the ball after losing it is quite amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhead23 1,147 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Great effort all round, pure magic yesterday ... Hope this momentum doesnt drop .. One thing that is commendable with this team is that way they retrieve the ball once they lose it ... I had read it somewhere .. Mark of great team are just not how good the team is when they have the ball but it is how good they are when they dont have the ball ... Jose has ingrained that into this team in a year ... Feel good factor creeping in ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I like our yellow away kit, bring a good luck and lot goals.I'm just glad we haven't seen the monstrosity that is the 3rd just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stroey 2,525 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Do we know why Remy wasn't involved last night?Everyone was fit, Mou just decided to put Mikel on the bench instead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I made a comment that i was disappointed that we didn't push on against WBA after going 2-0 up and was slated for it. I hope the same people who slated me are equally disappointed that we went on to score 5 instead of sitting on a 2-0 lead when we have a big match on Saturday.You can't have it both ways.I think it was just too easy last night - 3-0 is easier to defend, 2-0 and if they nick a goal right back in it. Agree with your sentiments though - lets just hope there's enough in the tank for Sunderland It was good to see Rambo and Drogba scoring though - will build confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the same people who slated me are equally disappointed that we went on to score 5 instead of sitting on a 2-0 lead when we have a big match on Saturday.You can't have it both ways.Chelsea sit back on a 2 goal lead = you moan.Chelsea go on to win 5-0 = you moan. .Difference would be Schalke kept attacking (for whatever reason) so we still had space to attack. WBA went down to 10 men and played all those 10 men just inside their box. If they're going to do that then keep the ball, watch for the counter. No need to break yourselves going for a pointless 3rd. But if they keep attacking like Schalke did then it's far simpler to attack on the counter and/or find some space for balls over the top.

I hope the same people who slated me are equally disappointed that we went on to score 5 instead of sitting on a 2-0 lead when we have a big match on Saturday.You can't have it both ways.We did tone it down a bit in the second half, we still ended up scoring two more but we were less full on in terms of the energy we let out compared to the first.It's the right thing to do, what if we did go all out and beat WBA 6-0 and ended up tanked for this one and lost? we would have put ourself's under unnecessary pressure in the last group game for the sake of a bit more fun, yes sometimes it can be a bit meh when we cruise in second half's and take what we have, but theirs a reason we do that, an extra half an hour of fun or a title at the end of the season? not even a contest. I remember Liverpool last season, they were 4-0 up in the Derby against Everton and went all out for more, they didn't get more and ended up putting in a lethargic performances at West Brom the following weekend which cost them two precious points.A couple of 2-0's >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 6-0 and 1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intensity obviously went down in the second half yesterday but not as much as against WBA because Schalke were playing a high block which meant that our midfielders could not just keep the ball like we did against WBA. Schalke were also playing a very high line coupled with amateurish defensive mistakes which made creating chances rather very easy and does not require great effort unlike when WBA put all of their remaining 10 men in and around their box.

Siwy_CFC 7 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 We take 3 points, advantage good night for us. We are in top 3 teams of the world right now. I think that winning Premier League this year is absolutely minimum. We'll be glad if we win double - PL and UCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Have to say, Schalke defended like Schalke or another way to put it, Schalke defended like a typical RDM team. Not taking anything from our brilliant performance but some of their defending were just abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One could argue that the reason we scored 5 was because we conserved our energy against 10 men. You can have it both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendrick 339 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 People saying Schalke were poor instead of Chelsea were prefect.Haters gonna hate.(And I'm not saying Schalke didn't play bad, but it was all about our level) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
