The Skipper 20,609 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Not sounding like a "Cech Lover" here, but as a reviewer of matches Cech has played for us, I've never seen him flail at any cross, and even if he has, it's been on the rare occaision. I've seen Courtois do it 3 times in the last 2 games, one of which cost us a goal (vs City). I'm just saying... Tibbo really needs to work on swallowing those crosses. Must have really bad memory then because Cech's command of the box has massively declined over the last few seasons. Courtois is SO much better in that aspect than Cech, if you don't think so you clearly haven't been watching us regularly this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Is everyone ignoring Hazards giveaways because he scored.. Is that what it will take for everyone to get off Oscar's back.. I don't get it with some people here Go and count how often Eden has lost the ball compared to Oscar then get back to us please. Also notice how Oscar had no pressure on him in most of his bad passes. Please don't try and slate Hazard to justify Oscar's awful passing.

dUMB 189 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Oscar is not bad, few bad passes, but you could see that even from Hazard today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazard's bad passes were mostly difficult, risky passes to make. Oscar however... Let me not even go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't try and slate Hazard to justify Oscar's awful passing. two of hazards giveaways have lead to Villa counters had Villa not been as dire as us a better team would have made us pay.. Give me a break.. Oscar's plays safe passes he gets slated for not making the Hollywood ball he tries to play that kinda pass he's getting slated for poor passing his strength and vision set up the goal or does that not count at all because he didn't finish the play like our best player did... He buy your koke and your pogba and see if they don't misplace passes too.. You guys need to get a grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel1980 1,425 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Yes, Hazard gave the ball away a few times, but he's nowhere as bad as Oscar and Drogba. Their pass accuracy: 64% and 50% respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Tibo has been very good under the high ball all season other than a flap in the first game against Burnley and his flap last week which cost us a goal.I think you'll find that last season a lot of people were saying Cech was being a lot more nervous under the high balls and made more mistakes than in every season he'd had for us before put together.Tibo isn't perfect, but I challenge anyone to try jumping to catch above your head while someone runs into you, it's bloody difficult.I suppose you (and The Skipper) are right about Cech's woes last season, but Cech in his earlier seasons made crosses look much easier to manage, especially when he was regarded the best, and our defence looked solid. He was a much younger keeper then. Courtois is at the same age, and given his experience, you'd expect him to be doing the same.Also, if you're making it priority to catch the ball, at least call for it, so that the defender won't run into you. If it's the opposition running into the keeper, then it's obviously the defender's fault for not marking him well enough. Typical lack of communication.
