Barbara 15,149 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Really good good football from uswhat are you talking about? We suck, not even top4 quality, didn't that horrid pre-season tell you that?That said, our defense looks very shaky and I almost wish Iva to be injured because José won't let him go and if this match is any sign (and many others every season) we're in for a thrilling season. #not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hazard has been extremely poor. Lethargic & wasteful in possession. Needs to get into shape quickly. Unprofessional for him to start yet another season completely out of shape.Ivanovic the worst player on the pitch by far & this will be JT's last year as a starter.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Our starting lineup is still very good. Hopefully we keep this team without any injuries throughout the season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper22 2,418 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Good first half, even if Ivanovic is being owned by Baby Jeff and Fabragas seems afraid of shooting. Oscar and Matic looking strong. Keep it up in the 2nd half boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS 382 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Oscar has been superb...While I do agree Willian has nothing to do with Iva being so bad, if I were Mou I'd ask Willian to stick around to add to the numbers. Same old liability...He needs to help out. Its group defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhesusReus 219 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Ivanovic... it's not even funny any more. it's blatantly obvious. another year of him getting toasted by any decent winger. Zaha and Montero. sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Ugh. Im gonna have to repeat myself. BRANA ISN'T A RIGHT BACK.Okay now that that's out of the way:- Diego battling like a boss.- Cahill backing off, naughty boy.- Fabregas is poor, needs a rocket up his arse.- Oscar has been BRILLIANT. Well in lad!- Matic looks like his old self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 And the most disheartening thing is ivanovic will never get benched as he's mourinhos love child and vice captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thendo 1,088 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Flukey goals, but well deserved lead so far! Costa has been very good imo, we really missed his physicality in the community shield game.Edit: Why is there almost only negative comments on here nowadays...? We are in the lead and playing well. Its the first game of the season, of course some players wont have found their 100% sharpness yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 This is probably our best attacking display since, well, Swansea. Oscar the standout but some good moments from Willian, Costa & Cesc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 It honestly feels like our team has a stroke!!On the right hand side, we look too sluggish and slow, and Swansea have the wind in their sails every time they go forward. Montero is pulling all the strings for them, passing, running into space, and in doing so, he's allowing himself to be an extra man near the box, which is killing Ivanovic especially because in comparison, he can't keep up with him!Overall, great free kick from Oscar for 1-0.. really unfortunate for our defence to fail at the last minute at 1-1, and then a bit of luck from Willian's effort for 2-1.. I really feel like we need a new right back just so we can keep Ivanovic on his toes! One that's faster than him, and can get back quickly! Ivanovic is a year older from last season, and yeah I understand he tackles with no mess and is in important positions to score goals, but going up against small, young players with a low centre of gravity.. he is next to garbage!

LAM09 7,054 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Iva will cost us another goal if Willian doesn't track Montero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNDS 502 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Oscar has been the best player on the pitch so far, with Matic not far behind. Costa, Willian, Azpi, Cahill all pretty good. Hazard and Fabregas have both been very average; Ivanovic awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 And the most disheartening thing is ovanovic will never get benched as he's mourinhos love child and vice captain.Should've been phased out last season instead he was made VC. Only reason he's in the team is because of his timely goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chels 2,502 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 We've looked dangerous going forward but at the same time defensively very susceptible.Cesc and Ivanovic are big defensive liabilities but at least Cesc contributes to the attack. Ivanovic has been useless all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
