Closed Sunderland 0-0 Chelsea

[The Chels 2,502]

Mourinho does this a lot. I was just waiting for him to take off Azpi and switch to 3 def, and really give the game away.

same. More subtle changes in personnel and tactics (e.g. Luis for Azpi to provide more width) would IMO serve us better than the gung-ho approach which abandons any sense of defensive stability and is essentially 'the more people we have attacking, the more likely we are to score'.

Look how narrow the influence of the players were before Remy and Schurrle came on. No wonder Sunderland found it so easy to defend against us.

Not disappointed with the result tbh, yeah we are shit hot at the moment, but these results are going to happen, I'm starting to think that every one expects us to win by big scores, we are in the premier league, one of the hardest leagues in the world no team is going to win every game. We are still unbeaten and Sunderland are fighting for their results to save their lives,

KTBFFH

It's not a bad result imo. I will sitting pretty and watch Soton vs City match, and still expecting that match to end with a draw. But if one of them win, I really don't bother too much to be honest.

look at the match stats and then read how BBC say Sunderland DESERVED a draw ,,

oh.. what an argumwnt.

So tell me. You want our defence "sorted" for not conceding a goal or for not scoring a goal?

Typical reaction of people in the face of an adverse result.

Clearly you don't understand the match today.

We needed more width to create more space in the center, which requires attacking fullbacks, which requires two mobile centerbacks who are good on the ball, but your right the defence didn't matter today.

You think that's biased reporting? They actually deserved to win.

YOU have just shown you know nothing or a troll

[Special Juan 28,141]

Just got back......

Never seen a teams fans so fucking delighted with a draw in all my life. They just packed it out and and literally gave fuck all else...

I walked out of our end their fans were jumping around like a bunch of silly cunts. Granted we weren't good and we should been much better but days like this happen and sometime you just have to think a point is a point. We lacked drive and edge and lets remember this is a marathon and not a sprint. Despite a bitter taste of a 0-0 draw it was a great away day with my lad and friends, lots of beer, lots of chanting and lots of laughs.

Sometimes it can't be all three points, leagues aren't won in November we just didn't do enough.......but as a whole we are doing enough.

CAREFREE!!!

you're basing your opinions on the stats that show we dominated possession, had more shots, bla bla, bla. They clearly had the better chances and if their finishing was any decent they'd easily have won.

BUT the Black Cats deserved to win ask The Chels or LE CHELS ,,

I'm sorry but please explain to me how they deserved to win, was I watching a different game ?

[Special Juan 28,141]

I'm not getting into who is right or wrong, I stand by my own opinion......we should, and can be better.....but they shoved ten men behind the ball and their crowd clapped and went mental everytime they got over the half way line.

They exexcuted their game plan perfectly, played better and had the better chances. What's so difficult to understand?

So iva dint provide width? That has to be the understatement of the year.

Also, you need defensive stability to provide as a perfect base to any team. We sold one of the best mobile ball playing center backs in the last window, we have a very good left back on the bench who provides width but has been very average defensively.

Our problem today was NOT that our fullbacks dint provide thw width, it was the fact that hazard and willian dint providw the width. Fullbacks are good in an attack when used on the overlap rather than being the primary target out wide.

But forget all of this. Clearly I have no clue and whatsmore, jose is as clueless in your books since he has willingly chosen GC over DL and azpi over luis.

They got a point that they set out to get and their fans , players .. manager and the Media were delighted ,,,the only person disappointed was Le Chels who thinks they should have got three

[-Kaplan- 410]

Some people blaming Azpilicueta for us not scoring even though he is a defender. Wow.

Jose hardly changed his team when delivering good result in the last match, and the next match is important or the next team are on the same level or higher as last game.

Now he has a reason to make any changes.
