The Chels 2,502 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Very similar to most of our big game performances this season - playing poorly but take the lead. Please don't let another 1-0 lead slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Lion 1,223 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Please... Spurs were clearly in control up until our goal, are you even watching? Besides I didn't say Spurs deserve a lead, but they'd certainly deserve it more than us.I never understood that 'deserved' statement being solely based on performance alone. The game is simple, get the ball in the net. You get the ball in the net. Deserved lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Our team has to be one of worst ball playing top teams in europe. No tempo, no control, no hold up under pressure, no creativity in attack, no link up, no runs in open spaces (and players with vision to spot them). We are bang shit in attack. But its final so I accept it. However making spurs look world class, and our poor form since january, Im not impressed at all.Cesc having another brilliant game I see...I wonder how long will people protect him.And finaly, we beaten this spurs team 3:0 not long ago. It means we can, but it seems our tactics and mentality are simply fucked up. No balls and no team action, while individualy we are crap, except for hazard who is not at best today either.Lucky we lead at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 One could make a case that our offensive showing in the 1st half in Munich 2012 was "better" than what our offensive department today has done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachikethas 1,154 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I don't think we are parking the bus or anything but it wasn't very good. Spurs passed the ball well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Dude Ramires just isn't a player we should have anymore I watched the Liverpool vs City game and all their players are comfortable on the ball - Ramires panics and loses it easily It frustrates me beyond belief Before the game I wasn't negative in fact if you go read it - I was positive, still am, but think we can do better than Ramires and lumping the ball forward Most negative fanbase I have ever seen. Goddamn. The game hasn't been THAT bad, not like Tottenham are controlling the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 They just showed the Coutinho goal here and it reminded of when Hazard had a ball in the same position.People compare so much Coutinho and Oscar saying Oscar needed to be more like Coutinho - which he could offensively wise, but this team's star is Hazard and if someone could take a page or two from Coutinho's clear improvement on finishing is Hazard. Coutinho used to be so weak on that and he's been improving quite well on that matter. The kind of improvement I'd like to see Hazard have as well. Just to be clear, I'm talking exclusively about finishing progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDance 552 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Some people forget that 98% of the time in the second half we are 100% better and stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles 9,790 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I don't think we are parking the bus or anything but it wasn't very good. Spurs passed the ball well.I think what happens is we're so poor with the ball that we just end up parking the bus/playing negatively by default.We are arguably the worst 'big' team with regards to possession / keeping the ball under pressure. It's embarrassing at times to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 That moment when Willian unnecessarily held the ball too long then passed backwards, that is one of our biggest problems; lack of iq and conviction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Kaplan- 410 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Naysayers? Such a negative approach against a mediocre team with half of Europe watching is deserving of critique, regardless of our undeserving lead... Negative? Or you can play in such a way where you know you have the advantage, which Mourinho clearly does. Try to play "beautiful, free-flowing football" and end up like Arsenal v. Monaco. People seem to have this ingrained idea that only attack is the way to play the sport. There are other ways to play you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
