DYC. 7,542 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Whoever voted Hazard MOTM should be ashamedHe let Markovic rule him all evening - this is why Hazard can't be rated as one of the best.I've seen Messi and Ronaldo single handedly take a game and force the win.We've seen how good Messi and Ronaldo are when their team is either disjointed or playing in a defensive manner, or both, in the national team. No attacking player can perform under these circumstances and forcing a win for your team in this set up is a once in a blue moon thing.You'll never see Barca and Real play like this and that's why they can produce at a high rate for their club.

Tomo 21,751 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 He has virtually cost us ties by his pragmatism, Atletico vs Chelsea played 7 fucking defenders, Man City Vs Chelsea leading 1-0 and down to 10 men decides to park the bus, Chelsea vs Man Utd against the worst utd we have ever played decides to seat back and invite pressure, Liverpool vs Chelsea decides not to even make a substitution until 89 min and overplays players again. I can even go back to his Madrid days, against Dortmund in 2013 he fucked it up by trying to park the bus even if he had the better players talk about pragmatism at its best. Swansea is a one off A one off? So I just dreamed up Schalke? Or Arsenal 6-0?Yes he makes mistakes, everyone does but I can list numerous tactical mistakes every top manager makes, it happens.

Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 People need to be realistic, let's give them some credit they're a decent team on a good run, at home in a semi, they're not going to let us dictate it as nice as that would have been.Pleased with the result, we'll win in 7 days time, and beat the yids at Wemberlee.

Rapkun 668 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Scoring a goal gave a moral boost to our players, and drained Liverpool for the remaining of the first half but we were completely open in the second.We couldn't keep up with their fast paced game once they hit it off. Simply, our backline is too slow to stop them. the defense and the midfield don't have the physicality and speed to keep chasing their players in our own half.Their goal was very well taken, but my god Cahill never ceases to disapoint me. I think Ramires could have been very useful today.A draw is probably a fair result given our horrible second half, also our intentions were clear we can't lose this game. Not too frustrated because we scored a goal and we still have to play the second leg at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmsch24 312 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 It's seems that a lot us support the back four being composed of Luis, Zouma, Terry, Azpi. To those chelsea fans who still support Ivanovich and Cahill in the back four and still say it's premature to replace them, today's match confirmed yet again that they are the weak link in the defense.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 A - José's negative tactics almost, almost cost us. They were there for the taking; their best performance of the season and they still couldn't beat us. He owes Courtois a fucking blow job for bailing him out tonight.B - besides Willian (who basically did Ivanovic's job for him tonight), Hazard (in the first-half he was great, poor after the break) and Thibaut, the whole team was poor. You'd have thought we'd lost 5-0, not won 5-0, on Saturday.C - what the fuck was the point of the 90th minute substitutions?! He must be planning on changing the whole fucking squad for Bradford now. Courtois, Ivanovic, Terry, Willian, Hazard, Costa, Fabregas, Matic all out - Cech, Azpi, Zouma, Schurrle, Salah, Remy, Ramires, Oscar in, you'd think.d - Cahill had a very good first half but was back to his usual tricks in the second. Consistently poor, week in week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elran 58 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Wow very negative reaction here. With the knowledge that you play a semi final over 2 legs a 1-1 away result is not bad at all.. But if you read the reactions here you would think that we've lost 5-0. People tend to forget games easily, we just won 0-5 away at Swansea but 3 days later Mourinho is 'pathetic in away games'. We opened up against Spurs (and earlier in the season Everton), we got 5 goals against us. For me that justifies his tactic in away games or at least I can understand it (in a two-legged semi-final). One thing that worried me was the space between defence and midfield. You would think an extra DM (Mikel) would solve this, but with the goal Sterling had a lot of space to make his run. Matic trying to save, but was too wide and therefore too late (not saying that is his mistake). Maybe even he was too wide because we had two defensive midfielders.. And also when Gerrard hit the post, I think both defensive midfielders where within a few yards of the goals. And no one at the edge of the box, not the first time that happened. I think there is too much space in that area, it must be possible to improve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYC. 7,542 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Chelsea has a lot of slow players, there's almost no way that team can cope with high pressure and tricky fast players.If Mourinho used Fabregas in pivot, there wouldn't even be a need for the 2nd leg. Would have been another massacre.The difference in the quality and speed of the build-up play from the back and overall level of play with Fabregas in the middle compared to what the Mikel-Matic combo provides is like night and day. But if you're not planning on playing, then yes, Mikel and Matic is the better combo.Personally, I still prefer Ramires though. Crazy how he's gone from full trust to 0 in one summer.

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 What!!!Liverpool were shite and we made them look even fucking better than they areSeriously enough of that bollox - Liverpool are average and we made them look massively good because we could not string two passes togetherI'm not having the overreaction - that was shite and people are rightly calling it.The Manager and Players need a long fucking hard look at themselvesWe're all dissapointed in one way or another, but you have to chill out, this was just a cup game.You see this Liverpool team, all these decades of failure have made them play this kind of games like it is the fucking Champions League final.They are desperate to win some silverware, no matter if it is the McDonalds cup, some friendly tournament in the US or the Capital One Cup. I bet they would even go full strenght in the Emirates Cup should Arsenal let them participate in it.They know they have no chance at winning EPL and UCL. The FA Cup is another competition they barely get a sniff at, so Capital One is their last hope at silverware. Not that they are some experts in winning this competition, but at least the big boys don't give a shit about it.This is why I was sure Liverpool would put up a fight tonight and give all their best. Chelsea will get the job done at the Bridge and the best thing is that you get to crush their dreams after you have been dog shite and they've outplayed you at their own place. This hurts more than a 0-5 aggregate score and there is no better sight in world football than watching those deluded cunts fail again and moan about atmosphere and how many chances they've had.

Daniel1980 1,425 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Tibo is MOTM obviously.Such an embarrassing performance. This team has been so poor in the big games, I can't think of one high pressure game we played great in. Even against Spurs, they completely dominated us for about 30 minutes before capitulating.No bottle to hold on to results and we can't impose our game on teams. This Cesc in attacking midfield shit has to stop, he clearly isn't one. Either play Oscar or Ramires in a 3.Cesc was the best AM today. Doesn't say much, considering they all looked out of ideas, but Cesc created most of our half-chances today, including the penalty. Eden was okay too but looked very tired, misplaced many passes and got bullied. They all looked tired though.Matic was probably the poorest player on the pitch. Mikel was better.
