Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Now we're losing a 2 goal lead ? What the hell.Jose wanted to bring a rain on the team by bringing Zouma on. I was feared that it again backfire. Fortunately, Hull was completely out of gas and they didn't press at the end (they were empty much of the second half it has to be said).On a positive side we played some nice football at the beginning. Tell me, playing like this isn't better than scrappy/rebounds/set piece goals from isolated situation ? It's far better, I enjoy this 10 times more.Result is what now matters, because I know we don't change this side now. I already accept that we will grind out results to the end. And we've got another one and again by scrappy winning goal. Lucky, lucky us. I know how it feels now from both perspectives - when you chase a leader who win in this way and when you're chased by others and you still somehow win.

stroey 2,525 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Jose said in the post match interview (Sky) that he actually wanted to bring Remy and play with two up top, Cuadrado in and Willian behind the strikers. (If he wasn't bluffing) But because Costa was injured he didn't do that, and because Remy scored he brought Zouma instead of Cuadrado. Costa RemyEden Willian Cuad Cesc Oscar Iva Terry Gary Tibo Emergency line up. He probably would have switched Iva to the left (like last year) and subbed off Matic since Cesc is vital for attacks.

stroey 2,525 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Gosh, no defensive midfield. Any team that has a decent attack will slaughter us. If Hull turned up the gas even for 5 minutes, we'll be doomed. Replace Oscar/Cesc with Matic and the lineup will be fine.Yeah it would have been a Kamikaze set up, survive or die. Oscar was just subbed on and I'm not sure Mou would sub off Cesc when we need to attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your statement, but not with your solution.Taking out Cesc & Oscar will only cut off the supply to our attack.Basically, if you want to play two up front, better do a 4-4-2. Play Cesc & Matic in the center, Hazard & Willian on the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Funny the reactions in the match thread of weve blown the title.Mainly because if we were 6 points behind a Mourinho lead City having played a game more with Pellegrini as our manager not one person would give us a prayer for the title.

Arsenal did it last season I think. Madrid do it too. In an emergency situation, you don't need a holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
