LAB 1,030 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Ivanovic did have a shocker but blaming him for the second goal is plain stupid. Courtois had more than enough space and time to kick the ball out with his right foot. Of course he is to blame. Look how many bad passes were played to Mignolet today but he handled them without gifting the opposition a goal. But other than that Courtois was fantastic.It's not really. Root of the problem was Ivanovic making a very silly decision. I blame his panic move a lot more than Tibo's. It's like a domino if you like. His mistake was pretty basic.

empire of emotions 247 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 That is true.Though I don't think he was awesome against Burnley, he did very well and should have started another game. Ivanovic still is a great player for us, he just needs a rest sometimes, shouldn't play every game. But still I don't see anything amazing about Felipe, judging by some comments here one would have thought he's better than Roberto Carlos.i agree with you on the point that ivanovic should not start every game this season. and not just him. we have 22 players for a reason, and not only 14. one of the reasons why we strugle lately is that mourinho didn't rotate the squade at all basically. cesc wouldnt struggle, same as oscar, willian and ramires. ok ramires was injured but than again. why did we even bought cuardado? he's not 20 so that he needs to adjust to big boy football. he's a proven footballer in other top5 league. why did we bought luis if he starts every 10th game? why is drogba first option for a striker from our bench? when it's clear that his time is gone. matic is still shaked up after that red card. cahill is awful lately, why don't we give more chance to zouma?seriously keepers rotated the most this season.all of these questions are for mourinho. and i expect from him to bring some rotation players and have a bigger squad for next season because if not, we will not get away with it. we are lucky that we have top3 player in the world in our squad so we're first in pl. without him i dont even want to think what would be the outcome for this season.

Ivanovic still is a great player for us, he just needs a rest sometimes, shouldn't play every game. But still I don't see anything amazing about Felipe, judging by some comments here one would have thought he's better than Roberto Carlos.The 'amazing' thing about him is that he's left-footed, no one in their right minds believe that he's a god, but compared with being congruent with the LB spot, he's miles ahead of Azpi. Azpi is very very good at defending there, but he offers very little in other aspects. Filipe can defend more or less just as well and he's so much better at doing everything else that's required of a left-back. Oh and he's very keen at pressing all the time!!

Whiskey 173 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 In the last week, Chelsea has been the team to prevent me from winning 1000 euros. For this, FUCK YOU.On the other side, its wins like these who makes champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluephoenix 1,131 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Come on lads, few more wins and we've fucking won it!Few more ? we have tough fixtures ahead. Stoke, away to QPR, United, away to Arsenal.Good we are out of CL otherwise there is no way I can see us keeping up the 6 points advantage ( yeah I know I am being a little pessimistic but can you blame?)we nearly just nearly scraped through with a win against hull, we squandered a 2 goal lead !

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 But still I don't see anything amazing about Felipe, judging by some comments here one would have thought he's better than Roberto Carlos.He was the best left-back in the world last season. He's an elite full-back, surely enough to appreciate that ?But of course you don't see anything special in him. Phew. But why I even bother after reading thisIvanovic still is a great player for usEveryone can have his opinion but yours is ridiculous on that matter.

Hitman6 11 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Everyone way OTT. Not long back from the match. Hull turned it into a cup tie, high intensity, pressure up the pitch, played the ball over the top, and we were on the ropes. Apart from the 3 saves in 10 seconds we played well in second half. We don't have a God given right to win every game, it's the PL. Sign of champions to not be at best and win. I agree a bit concerned about certain performances but they will come good.

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 He was the best left-back in the world last season. He's an elite full-back, surely enough to appreciate that ?But of course you don't see anything special in him. Phew. But why I even bother after reading thisEveryone can have his opinion but yours is ridiculous on that matter.I don't give a fuck about last season. I watch him now, I watch him at Chelsea and fail to see anything out of this world. Bertrand could have done his job this season easily. Show me the Roberto Carlos you all are speaking about. Pressing? Pressing what? Dave is a better defender than him by a country mile.Re Ivanovic, I don't bother discussing that anymore at TC, people here criticize that particular player every game, if he scored 4 goals in a game I know some prick would come out and say b-b-but he didn't close down the winger. Its very embarassing yet it doesn't surprise me because same shite was posted about Drogba, Lamps and Terry in 2011/12. There are a lot of ungrateful and spoilt so called supporters of the football club.That is why I'll leave you the footballing expert do to the analyse and ridicule my opinion.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 What has happened to this team? They've become incredibly slow, static and sluggish. And it seems to become worse with every passing game. Sigh...That was a terrible, terrible performance. 3 points.Fatigue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Like most here I don't care how we got it 3pts is all that matters! At this point in the season with all the games and lack of rotation we aren't going to see the kind of quality we saw earlier into the season. So long as mentally we prove that we have enough resolve to win when we're clearly not at our best I'm very happy.Nothing is ever easy at Chelsea so I've become accustomed to the fact that we have to grind out victories even against shitty teams.Thought Hazard was brilliant. Courtois as well(despite the terrible error for the goal) The story of the game for me though is Luis, who I thought was good going forward and awful defensively, and Remy, who despite not playing a lot always scores! None bigger than today... He needs more games for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Filipe Luis plays his first game in a full MONTH since Burnley, a game he was arguably our best in and he's getting buried by some. Pathetic. At least Mourinho is watching the tapes and he realizes Azpilicueta impotence in attack is one of the reasons why we have become so predictable.Intricate pass in final third, lose ball, get countered, save from Thibaut, intricate pass in final third leading nowhere, pass to right for Ivanovic inconsistent crosses, gets headed away. Rinse, repeat and so on.If Jose wasn't such a cautious manager, the real Filipe Luis would have been fully integrated into the team by now. Poor guy doesn't even tweet anymore after the games. Probably fed up of warming the bench regardless what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzchap 8,966 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Why should we give Jose credit? As lionsden said earlier, if it wasn't for Costa tweaking his hamstring, Remy wouldn't have came on.But I'm still angry. We won but I'm angry. Losing a 2 goal lead is unacceptable. Ivanovic and Cahill STILL our starters after making constant mistakes.Let's put it this way, we escaped with a win today. Like United did with Newcastle not too long ago.What I find even more unacceptable is the shit message it's giving to the dressing room!It doesn't matter how shit you play - you won't get dropped!How the fuck is anybody going to stay motivated?It's just terrible management - I never thought I'd say that :( On the plus side - 3 points and like WHU - last year we would have dropped points, so at least there is some winning mentality growing in the teamNice break now - spend some time getting this stuff sorted out!
