New York Red Bulls vs Chelsea
POST-MATCH DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



2015/16 Pre-Season Friendly No.1
23rd July, Thursday, 2015
Red Bull Arena
01:00 Kick Off (UK time)

[Reddish-Blue 2,347]

Great stuff from New York, every player on the pitch looked interested, worked for the team and they deservedly won the game

Pathetic defending from Terry, Begovic was awful and Azpi deserved a breather in the second half

[Oscar 441]

Oscar got both assists. haha

But should of done better.

Costa should of hit a hattrick!

[didierforever 7,349]

aahhh.. the joy... of waking up at 5.30 in the morning to see our team try to play football. to watch our strikers do a torres, to watch oscar do an oscar, to watch ramires flap about.

wait, it gets better. now i need to go to my freaking work...

good days.. good days...

ps - is this really the begovic that played at stoke?

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Great debut from Begovic!

[Alabama 1,992]

The game against PSG will be different. I hope that lesson is learned.

P.S. Message from closed topic as a review: I think you're too serious about this game. It was only first friendly this season, and it's good wake up call for us. Last year Chelsea lost to Werder Bremen 3:0, and our game was terrible (Werder is stronger than NY, but it wasn't our first match of the season).

For anyone who was wise enough to sleep, I have to say I hate you.

I won't make this mistake ever again. EVER.

Continued from pre-match thread:

Yes it WAS our first team mate. The players you mentioned almost all of them are our first team players. And really, there should be no excuse. Don't find a way to make an excuse for that terrible performance against 16 year olds.

first team

costa

hazard oscar wilian

matic fabregas

azpi cahil terry ivanovic

we played too many youth and loanese we have alot of player but none are quality we need signings to shake things up a bit..

[Oscar 441]

So many empty seats....

That was the sad part imo.

[Unionjack 7,531]

I just dont know what to say. Hard to justify it.

FUCK anyone who slept thru this.

any freaking person who did not watch this amazing performance needs to hanged.

Welcome to Chelsea, Asmir!

That looked more like a friendly played just after a long, grueling season had ended and the players are knackered. You'd expect the boys to be fresh and sharp.

Embarrassed by what was apparently an MLS under 21 side. The talent of our players alone should blow them off the pitch.

José will have our guys ready come Swansea, of that I have no doubt. But man, if our defense plays anything like that when the season starts I'll be dreading Man City in week 2.

We need at least two more signings (Stones, a CM) and possibly three (Pedro).

[illmatic 901]

Surprised for the result? Yes. Surprised for the performance in the second half? Absolutely not, is the same that we have seen when we played with a midfield like that. Cero control, totally frenzy, Rambo running like a headless chicken. The same that we already suffer the last season in the big games when we used this pivot. And now is clear that not even against a child team we can control a game with them..

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

I just dont know what to say. Hard to justify it.

Tbh, one good thing is that hopefully our players will wake up by the time community shield comes up. Don't wanna lose to those bastards, don't care if it's even the Madagascar international friendly cup.

[zolayes 14,489]

where do we vote for OUR MoM..???

[pHaRaOn 2,131]

It was great to see Chelsea game in a months. Even if it's friendly. Even if we lost.

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

guys when you see me posting angry and negative things towards our club when we are losing. just ignore my posts. i am a sore loser and i hate loosing and i don't know how to control my anger when chelsea fc are loosing. i don't mean anything i post when we are losing or not playing well. but these guys get paid millions while millions are homeless and starving.
