Closed Newcastle v Chelsea

[Vytis33 1,142]

In all seriousness what the hell happened to Cesc? Guy has been an absolute joke this year.

[The Skipper 20,593]

To be fair Hazard hasn't been the problem today he's had no support and he's been crisp today

I'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]

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...

[Laylabelle 9,359]

We're just going in circles at the moment..45 mins to do something right or long season continues..

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Our Creativity level is below sunderland's one... and with players like Hazard,Oscar. Cesc and Pedro... Shocking.

[BXL70 396]

Lost 1-0 at mid time against a relegated football club. And Ivan one against. Dreadful display.

In all seriousness what the hell happened to Cesc? Guy has been an absolute joke this year.

He doesn't have anything to prove anymore. You can tell the way he trots around, he can't be bothered.

[Nik Hasri 10]

Honestly Fab and Iva has been shit. I cant understand y Mou insist in playing them. Its like je wants to be sacked...

[didierforever 7,349]

When players like Hazard, Fabregas and Pedro are just looking absolutely clueless going forward... There's only one man you need to look at.

Man, RLC would've helped massively today.

pedro has won the CL multiple times. you are telling me that jose needs to tell him to stay on the wing and try and isolate a 20 year old RB as a LB. pedro has not even tried to do that once. i mean horrendous display fromhim.

cesc fabregas the "midfield controller", even a little bit of pressure on the ball and he will lose it. and we were praising him for "controlling" the mid against a 9 men arsenal.

hazard has been horrendous in attack. i can only think that it is tactical that jose has told him to not track janmaat and use the space vacated by him. but he has been unable to even do that.

all in all, this is down to our players. not manager. ivanovic and his shitness is the thing to blame on jose.

In all seriousness what the hell happened to Cesc? Guy has been an absolute joke this year.

I'd throw Matic into that category too, an absolute shell of himself, getting bundled off the ball by Ayoze Perez for bloody hell's sake.

[Stats 7,056]

11 against 11, I have not seen Oscar provide any of this defensive solidarity for Fabregas today. The amount of times Newcastle have broken through is crazy. We look way too vulnerable. It has been the same all season apart from Arsenal. Lack of real dominance in the midfield and we are getting exploited time and time again. So frustrating. We can't beat Arsenal then have such a performance like this against the joint worse team in the league this season.

[bluephoenix 1,126]

Seriously focus on football, results will follow !

[Johnnyeye 7,441]

Wish we had their midfield !

And would be nice having another option like going with attacking full-backs.

Sissoko would be perfect for us.

[BlueStorm1003 539]

If we lose, I´ll be going out and buy FIFA 16 just to make us look like the best eam in the world and find solace in that.

Please someone tell me I won´t be buying that game today

[Polo7 3,496]

Oscar will be better this year because he had a rest and a preseason....well that sure does show.

[Diceflix 207]

Why am i so amazed by individual skills of each opponent's player? or it just us who played absolutely rubbish?

[Amblève. 4,995]

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!

You gotta be more precise here, though. The guys that were instrumental in those 3 games are mostly not playing today: Costa, RLC, Kenedy, hell even Mikel.

[Henrique 9,133]

1st half ratings:

Bergovic 6: one good save.

Azpilicueta 5: decent

Cahill 3: the same Cahill that fucked England in last WC.

Zouma 1: looked a amateur CB the whole time, and his mistake in the Newcastle goal was the one of the worst ones I've seen from a Chelsea CB in recent seasons.

Ivanovic 0 : Bad. He can't defend. he can't pass, he can't cross.

Matic 0: bad defending, bad passing and his support to attacking players was innefctive. He almost gave away a goal after a clumsy effort to intercept an opponent inside the box.

Fabregas 5: bad defending, but one of the few players that created anything in 45 minutes.

Hazard 2: average and invisible.

Oscar 2: hide himself in the Newcastle midfield.

Pedro 0: he can't do Willian job, defending he looks clumsy and too slow while attacking.

Remy 0: missed everything he tried in the first half.

Mourinho -10: that lazy PES and FIFA player, who never care about the formation and always use the default formation, and all he can do is change players, while the game plan is the same the whole time.
