Laugh1ngMan 393 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I think Hazard actually has to drop dead before Mou even considers substituting him, he ran out of gas at half time and didnt do anything anymore.MotM between Zouma, Willian and Remy for me. Willain edges it because he was the only one bothered to sprint and making something happen until he paid the price and got injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 If we played the way we did in the 1st half, we could have won the game. I just don't get it. Trying to protect the lead from minute 1 of the 2nd half. And the fatigue excuse doesn't wash either as he does it against every big team, even when the team is playing well. His tactics actually made the team play far worse in the 2nd half. Despite the conditions going into the game, at least try and play for say 20 mins in the 2nd half, if it doesn't work, okay, then try and protect the score. But to do that from the start of the 2nd half is not the way of a big football club with so much money. This is what frustrates me the most about Mourinho.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Willian has eaten the ball with a spoon.Unfortunately his body buid does not allow him to score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhead23 1,147 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Positive: Zouma was awesome. Matic, wow pure wow ... The point is due to Matic without a doubt! He is just awesome, everytime he is not there we tend to lose. Negatives: Forget it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 And Zouma, I love you. Same goes for Ramires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hostedenis 556 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Courtois may well have cost us the title here. You're an idiot. Courtois has won us 5-6 points this season, as well as single handedly got us into the league cup final. He made a mistake for the City goal, yes. But it's ridiculous of you to claim if we won't win the title, it'll be because of Courtois! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper22 2,418 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Courtois - 5 - Made a mistake for the goal. But considering the number of points he's won for us this season, i'll let him off.Azpilicueta - 4 - Rare game where Dave got absolutely torn a new one by Navas' pace. Struggled big time.Terry - 6 - Solid performance from CLL.Zouma - 8 - Great performance from big Kurt, really plays like an experienced and cultured defender.Ivanovic - 5 - Good going forwards, poor positionally at the back (for a change). Matic - 6 - Made some great challenges, but also gave the ball away stupidly once or twice.Ramires - 8 - Lot of running, lots of energy, lots of commitment.Hazard - 7 - Great in the first half but faded badly in the 2nd when we lost most of the possession.Oscar - 4 - Completely anonymous. Defended well in the last 10 but offered nothing going forwards all game.Willian - 7 - Still has that annoying habit of cutting in but did well today, better passing than usual.Remy - 7 - Had only scraps to feed on, and scored his one an only chance of the day. Clinical.Drogba (sub) - 5 - Had little time to have any effect on the game.Cahill (sub) - N/ALoftus-Cheek (sub) - N/A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 We won a point, they just lost two. 5 point gap still there, excellent given the terms we went into this game on the back of a 120 minute semi-final and losing 2 players to injury plus one suspension against Liverpool. Hope Willian's alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dy-lan 142 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 All things considered a draw is a good result. Still 5pts clear with City's fixture list probably worse than ours. Zouma was immense, loving him more and more. Now let's get Cesc back and look to push in against Aston Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samzilla 517 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 when luis is fit, why is it so hard to play luis on the left and azpi on the right?!? ivan just isn't playing well enough right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Jose should be ashamed of himself for that tactic in the 2nd half.Oh fuck off why dont you. We had no subs that could change the game and we were being completely outplayed. We are lucky to get a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,442 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Nothing surprising, just unfortunate that the match came right when Schurrle and Salah were leaving.You look at the bench, and apart from Drogba there was no one to come and inject life into our game. We had no choice but to go conservative by bringing on Cahill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,958 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Zouma - take a bow. A brilliant performace in a game of this calibre. He has no right to lose his place now, no way.The important thing today was not to lose and quite clearly Jose went for it, no matter what he did not want to lose this. He got the result he wanted but we all know we could have extend the lead, shame. On the other hand, City still have difficult games to play and places to go so fingers crossed.

LegenTerry 273 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Like I said before for me this is a shame,Im fed up with this shit parking the bus every time we play stronger team.This isn't Chelsea I like watching. I don't care for that point.I would more like us to lost the game with attacking,men football and not have a draw with shitty playing against main opponents who are actually very bad without Yaya.But never mind,Jose have what he wanted before the match the fact that our fans watched City in front of our goal 80% of time and watched park the bus tactic is not that important for him.And Im not against Jose I like him like everyone in Chelsea but I really hoped that we will show them that we deserve this EPL title.
