kellzfresh 7,229 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 We need a faster, and better midfielder with strength than Mikel for the big games. It's unacceptable to play with that low quality against champions League level teams. We should stop this joke of not signing any midfielders before its too late. Or else we'll turn out to be local league champions like mancity while being shite in Europe. TheIceMan and stroey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Think next season in big games our tactic will get found out because we do the same thing over and over again. It is like tiki taka, eventually teams will counter it.Atleast tiki taka was revolutionary and significantly harder to master and execute. The irony is that some people have labelled Pep one dimensional for his tiki taka philosophy but on the otherhand, Jose who only knows how to park the bus against big teams is the tactical genius.

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Secure him on long-term contract but please let's add proactive, ball-playing centre-back and some good CM who can pass forward and be compatible with Matic when inevitable he's put into the squad in every big game. It's crystal clear even for unarmed eye and yesterday just brought the same vibes like from every game Chelsea played last season against good, pressing midfield.And get shot of Cuadrado.Mourinho is the only manager to have a key player like Dave playing the full 90 2 games in a row in a preseason. Yes but I remember when Azpilicueta came back last season and straight away played 90 minutes and Mourinho said on Chelsea TV "Every player played 30, 45, 60 minutes apart from Azpilicueta but he has different physical body". Azpilicueta is ultimate athlete in Chelsea squad even better than Ramires and it seems he can play full-stop. When you see he's pressing the opposition in 88th minute don't tell him to stop ... darrus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with you.You can pretty much state that it gets found out, I don't have a problem with that, but stop putting a "Park the bus" label on every performance you don't like by Chelsea. Did we park the bus against Tottenham ? No. PSG in the CL ? No they were just better, and we could've won it bar 2 minor errors on set pieces ( unusual thing for us ). Still, we lost those games, I know you can get the feeling we don't try enough when we are outplayed by the opponent, but we aren't Bayern/Barça/Real, we aren't the type of teams that dominates every opponent on the midfield, sometimes we just find better than us in that aspect of the game. So I don't think we should call it "Parking the bus", Mourinho's method is way too known to be called like that, he's just adapting all the time to the situation, yes, this is his philosophy, he doesn't go proactive all the time by all means, when he senses that we have a weakness to an opponent, he tries to bring in a defensive answer ( Zouma against Spurs is the perfect example ). So, we can't compare the two methods, Tiki Taka ( which hasn't been found out, it's just that 2012-2013 Barça didn't have the same workrate to implement that model ) and adapting your game plan to the opponent and to the difficulties you face.

CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Whenever anybody is disappointed with the club I believe it should be mandatory to have a recorded highlights reel of the 2-0 against Liverpool in 13/14, it's so relaxing and satisfying.

The park the bus is a media sensationalist spin, I mean no one batted an eyelid when Wenger turned up to The Bridge last season packed the midfield and came with a game plan of sit back and frustrate us.

Some people are just lazy really. Just because we don't 'dominate' against the big teams, they immediately accuse us of 'Parking the Bus', even when we do not do it. The term has been thrown around so much till the point those people have failed to grasp the true meaning of 'Parking the Bus'. kc_blue, kellzfresh, Barbara and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
