nullabletype 987 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 And have we really troubled them so far? We are being outplayed at our own game of closing down and hassling the opposition, and we just don't seem to be up for it.Our own game? Since when have we closed down hassled opposition? This side has had zero intensity for the longest time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa19 858 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 It's like our players is fed up by winning the league last year. No fighting spirit, no hunger just NOTHING. Maybe Ferguson is right when he said that if there is sometime you really need to sign new top players it is the year you won the league or another major title.

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Wish we had their midfield !And would be nice having another option like going with attacking full-backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddyBear 6 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Towards the end of the half they showed the ground different players had covered. Very worrying that Matic and Fabregas so far ahead of our other players. They are having to do a lot of running because of the poor play by our center halfs i feel. If we want to play the high line the CBs have to be more aggressive. I'm not sure if its because our defenders are used to the park-the-bus/deep defense or they are simply being outplayed by Newcastle players. Probably a combination of both.

Pizy 18,918 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Not even one bit of good football there, nothing. They have played their best half of football all season because we have allowed them too.Massively gutless from us, no heart, no passion or no desire.Your last sentence is spot on and exactly the problem. Our side has no gut. An opponent puts pressure on or smacks us in the mouth and we can't handle it. We're so easy to bully which is shocking and unheard of from a Mourinho team.I've now fully converted to the "we don't train attacking play" side. Our attacking players look like total strangers. It's embarrassing. Nearly every manager in the world would kill for the players we have. We just waste it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Long balls to Remy from Asmir, Zouma and Cahill, for the simple reason this team has no trust in anyone to create anything from nothing.It's all hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Against 2 of the worst teams we'll play all season and a win against 9 men.I don't expect those results to suddenly make us world beaters again but certainly give the players more confidence and make them play better than they have been! The performance they put out there in the first half was fucking atrocious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 To be fair Hazard hasn't been the problem today he's had no support and he's been crisp todayI'm not saying any of those guys have been a problem today... Why are you getting so defensive? My point is that offensively we look clueless. There's no game plan and it's affecting our top (attacking) players severely.

Whiskey 173 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Stop blaming individual players like Zouma. This is a collective disaster and disgrace from every player and including the manager.If we wouldnt concede that goal, it would be another. I am discusted and embarassed by the way we've started this season. And it sure as hell isnt getting better. We are practically being dominated by Newcastle whos had the worst form during the WHOLE 2015 than probably any team in any top league in the world.Why is Fabregas playing? Why the fuck is playing like he's a headless chicken running around on the pitch?And why the FUCK is Ivanovic a given starter all the fucking time when it is SO obvious to everyone that he has been and IS a huge liability?All I can say at the moment is that I am furious and embarassed...
