Closed Chelsea v Newcastle

[didierforever 7,349]

He's been trying for 2 seasons

i am not happy with willian's performance but we have much bigger problems as of now.

matic and cesc providing 0 cover to the defence.

the defence getting owned by sissoko and cabella.

oscar forgetting how to play football.

costa' lack/loss of confidence.

by now. i know that willian is not the most creative player but more of a work horse. and he is atleast doing that and giving his 100%.

others like oscar should be benched for a month for that performance.

Yea I'm not saying he's the problem today, he's just never provided what's expected of him, the others you mentioned have in previous months.

We need a great response/performance in the 2nd half.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Oscar went on holiday earlier than usual this season but we gotta commend him for taking his chance

[borriske 330]

cabella completed 8 dribbles... in one half...

[Barbara 15,149]

Atmosphere is really quiet . AGAIN.

can't blame them, we were terrible. I know people should support no matter what, but we're giving them NOTHING to cheer for

[Special Juan 27,456]

Cannot blame Hazard for being selfish in the slightest. I wouldn't of passed to some of them they way they played.

Costa should of just let it roll across his left side and struck it with his left. Lack of confidence at it's finest.

But come on lets have this.

Meanwhile everton and city remain goalless; Watch a certain sub coming on and score for city

Kun?

[didierforever 7,349]

oh great!!! oscar is still on the pitch!!

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Oscar, Willian and Schurrle are never good enough for Chelsea. Never good enough. They'll cost us this season again.

They're not to be honest. But they won't cost us, I still strongly believe we will win the league.

But

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Name another top team in Europe whose first choice AM is as technically limited and inconsistent as Oscar? If we are to achive our objectives and meet our ambition then Oscar is NOT the answer. it's that simple. enough with the excuses.

I will say what I have been replied by others in Costa thread, in a reverse situation like this. Why that comment not be made before this match? Oscar thread is quiet as hell this season, compared with last season.

Well he did now in 2 consecutive matches...

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Matic having a mare.

[chrismada9 1,948]

That bad, eh? O_o

Just to give you an idea:

- Defence has been torn apart

- Oscar and Willian have both been utterly hopeless

- Remy Cabella has suddenly turned into Lionel Messi

- Petr Cech is now flapping away free kicks... something he in his whole career at Chelsea has never done!

- Azpilicueta came off for Felipe Luis simply because he forgot how to mark

- Sissoko for them is bossing the midfield

- Even Fabregas and Matic are having bad games

But hey... at least we're 1-0 up!

[Styles 9,790]

And let's not forget the last time we were 0-0 against Newcastle and playing poorly a certain defender made a mistake and gifted them a goal.

Go and read Oscar's thread mate.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Got to say, I love Luis' composure on the ball, really stabilising that left side. Cabella has pretty much been neutralised. If he gets his 1-on-1 defending right he should nail that LB spot.

This game is finished, I'm going to watch the city game
