Pacquiao 1,834 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Fantastic offensive performance in the first half; Good fight in the second half. A disaster in defense, except Kurt Zouma, which must be indisputable the rest of the season. Zouma is pure gold.Pedro has had a spectacular performance. Almost seemed that he had been with us for 10 years. verticality plays a one-touch, fast convinations, something different in attack ... A great signing. I wish he continue with this performance.Willian has also been brilliant. As N.10 he has a better performance.And Eden will be the best player of the season if he continues this evolution.But the defense is a problem. To me John Terry should not have been expelled, has been unfair. But we have to change many things. Even Matic has been horrible. And Ivanovic can not continue being our right-back. Zouma - Stones is our future.Today Diego Costa was perfect. The other day I was angry with him because Diego was getting into absurd fights, but today Diego has been aggressive / violent in the right way. Very competitive and creating scoring chances at all times. When Diego is focused in football he is the best striker in the world.Fabregas has not been brilliant, but he has had a better performance than the other days. Fabregas is our compass and we need him to do great things.For me today is a day to be happy. First win of the season with a good performance and very competitive, very close to our true level.Regards.i thought Pedro can only play well when he is under Messi's umbrella?

supporter 3,088 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 i thought Pedro can only play well when he is under Messi's umbrella? Hi friend!In an earlier comment, during the match and in the thread "17. Pedro Rodriguez", I said, "Pedro is closing my mouth" with his performance. I can admit my mistakes. I can be wrong, like everyone else.We are in a forum among friends. It would be perfect for me if Pedro would make the decisive goal in the final of Champions League and someone could tell me: "You said that he was good under the umbrella of Messi".I wish Pedro could continue having a performance like today all the season. That would be perfect for us.Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supporter 3,088 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 You were also angry with us signing Pedro and did everything to play him down, today he proved otherwise.Hi friend!As I said to Pacquiao, during the match and after the match I recognized my mistake and I said "Pedro is closing my mouth" with his performance. For me it is perfect because Pedro (in this performance) is exactly what we need.I was simply wrong. I admit. "A fanatic is one who can not change his mind and will not change the subject."I wish Pedro can continue at this level because he has revolutionized our game: quick movements, played a one-touch, verticality, brave play, speed, new opportunities to make goal. Just perfect.Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raven8472 32 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Apart from the joker votes the MOTM poll is pretty one sided. New country, Team, League and still plays like that on his debut. Take a bow son . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also remember Barca best trio before last season was Henry-Eto'o- messi. Which was also before Messi moved to the center.Lucho did a great job moving messi, and allowing Neymar and Suarez to express themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 The second goal we scored today is what you call proper counter attack. It's ridiculous how rare we score from those situations. For a side that's managed by Mourinho, it's really funny and depressing that we're not good at doing the things his teams are famous for - solid/resolute defending and executing counter attacks.

LukakutoStamford 779 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Game RatingsCourtois - 6.8 PK save and great save in the 93rd distribution isn't on the level.Azipilicueta - 6.6 good run in for the goal but shambolic in the first twenty minutes with passes to nowhereTerry - 2.7 While the red card was soft he still was burnt like toast and made a game that was a comfortable into tense nail-biterZouma - 6.9 Solid play not spectacular but strong in the air and made things difficult for West BromIvanovic 3.6 Utter liability at RB has been dismantled each of the first three weeks by 3 different types of players.Matic 2.3 - Worst player in the pitch idiotic tackle to give up a PK was lucky not to be sent off later in the game far too many give aways in bad spots leading to WBA Cesc 3.9 - a freakin pylon he could be passed by a 12 year old kid ... way too slow. Had one great through ball to Costa and a chip to Costa that led to Dave's goal. Otherwise his lack of speed and athleticism is causing problems for the midfield.Hazard 6.2 - Moments of great play but not leaving enough of an impact on the game.Willian - 5.4 could have cost Chelsea a victory with his abysmal miss. Not enough end product and gave away the ball too oftenPedro 8.2 - MOTM best player on the pitch created nearly all of Chelsea's opportunities, tracked back quite well and recovered the ball quickly when he lost it. Looks like the RW problem has been resolvedCosta 7.0 Goal and set up the 3rd goal. Still too much dribbling but he was in the heads of the WBA players and creating problems.Cahill 4.5 stumbling and bumbling lucky that he didn't cost Chelsea a goal.Mikel N/A did little Falcao N/A has to be better with the shot.Lucky win and without Pedro this may have been another loss. The midfield is in shambles as is the defense. Offense looks out of rhythm and seems overly reliant on individual brilliance because there does seem to be a cohevise offense attack plan.Need multiple CM and defenders to be brought in as this team is going struggle to make top four in its current form.
