Closed Chelsea 2-4 Bradford

[Reddish-Blue 2,400]

I blame Mourinho because before the game he said it's not in Chelsea's DNA to lose these types of games, he said other managers prefer to have the extra day of rest before the next EPL matchday

He set this team up for failure...and that's exactly what happened. I bet Liverpool are delighted with our defense, they'll probably score 3 or 4 in the league cup as well

Listening to the commentary its sounds like Zouma and Christensen played on the same side. Makes no sense, you're playing an inexperienced player out of position and you play him next to another inexperienced player.

Especially when Ake could have played Left back as well and Christensen/Azpilicueta at right back.

Maybe he tried to motivate us?

What was Cahill doing before the 4th goal? Trying to hide behind Christensen?

[Laylabelle 9,409]

Cech was going mad after the 3rd goal.our defence did their dissappearing act again!!

Hope the burns charity does well though.interesting how little your hear on anniversarys of the fire despite it being just as bad.

LOL it's easy to blame Cahill these days but wait... Wasn't it Christensen who maybe had to block that pass? Oh yh it's our young lad. Right, blame Cahill.

Right, Christensen was the man to block that pass.. But Cahill was the man to mark Yeates.

The same Klopp who is sharing the last place atm?

If they weren't a feeder club for Bayern they would be competing in the Bundesliga just like they use to.

What the fuck are you talking about.

the fuck I am talking about is that he is not winning anything!!!

Have just seen the highlights and my god, the defending for all the 4 goals was truly abysmal and shambolic. Non-existent marking, no pressure on the ball, players caught ball watching.

1. Stead may have scored a good goal but Ramires was beaten far too easily when he attempted to close him down. Moreover, why wasn't there anyone else helping Ramires to put pressure on the ball? Mikel, especially, took ages to come out with everyone dropping so deep.

2. Everyone got sucked towards the ball and Morais was left completely unmarked at the far post with the goal at his mercy. The organization then was shocking!

3. Azpilicueta allowed the cross to come in so easily and then, where was the protection or defence in that D-area? Halliday just arrived out of nowhere and smashed the ball in. Who on earth was supposed to track him?!

4. This goal summed up the debacle that happened. We have 5 players back and only 2 Bradford players attacked and yet, we somehow allowed them to waltz through our defence to score. Everyone kept looking on the ball and not one bothered to track the run of Yeates, when he can clearly be seen running past few of the players but they didn't seem to notice him. Even a blind person could see that run and know what needs to be done!

It's January you fucking tit. What are you expecting him to win in January? The club raffle? There are no trophies available!!

Time to wipe this from our memories and focus in the next THREE MASSIVE games ,, Need to bounce back big time.

What do you mean?

But Cahill IS probably the most at fault for the fourth goal. If you watch him, it seems as though he is attempting to get into a position to track the runner. If he simply continues to move across behind Christensen he probably succeeds in preventing the goal. Instead, he decides to hold his ground and cover Christensen, which is unfortunate because Willian is clearly expecting Cahill to pick up the run.

The goal isn't ALL Cahill's fault of course (Willian and Christensen could/should have done better themselves), but he appears to be the main culprit.

This is what happens when you let Mikel and Ramires play together xD.

We were actually up 2-1 with mikel and ramires... Never play rami and fab without mikel or matic to protect because neither of them can hold
