Jase 43,479 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 we were the leaders after FOUR games playing the current champions away . IT WAS a good point .Guess one can't please everyone. Some won't be happy till we play like Arsenal or Liverpool in every game regardless of home/away and the opposition.

Joker10 946 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 The thing is our strategy are results oriented. Whatever the strategy needed as long as we get some points doesn't matter imo. Whether we put 6 defender as starter, play Ivan as a striker, Costa as a CB, whatever necessary to achieve our target should be no problem.You basically said that we shouldn't playing like that because we are currently top of the league? Am I missing some rules here that can or can't be done as a league leader? For whom we should play attractive football for? Neutral fans? Media?No, we will still playing the same strategy like that regardless our position, whether we are 15th, 3rd or 1st.Meh i won't waste my time with this debate if you don't think there is anything wrong with playing cowardly and scared. Also i don't know about you i was eagerly waiting to see how this team deals with their biggest challenge so far in the season. All i saw was one manager not allowing his team to play football and get completely dominated by the opposition. It was a waste of 2 hours of my day tbh, I usually watch every Chelsea game at least twice and that game was not even worth just the highlight.

Chelsea? 892 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 do you guys see us ever playing like Madrid did under Jose? I don't remember them defending like we do against bigger clubs. Or are we gonna just get better and eventually play like Atletico? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are we gonna just get better and eventually play like Atletico?Honestly? Defensive wise is like comparing apples and oranges. La Liga is such a light league, with huge pitches and teams more likely to play a style closer to Barcelona tiki taka rather than Madrid counter. That's why atlético was successful there last year with such a physical style, no teams practice it there.Mourinho only worried about Barça defensively. Against them it was more defensive and he was cautious playing Valencia that was the third force for most time he's spent there.What forces him to play more defensive here is better opposition, faster and more physical teams and it being a more competitive league. Now regarding the attack, I do believe he wants to emulate what he had there, but defensively the leagues are two worlds apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even in the CL Madrid still played attacking football and I think that's partly due to the squad he had. Our squad this year will be better off attacking than defending. Going forward I think we should be more attacking focused in bigger games as it serves as our best chance to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is.It's all subjective, but people think its filled with Ballerina's. It's definitely not as physical as the Premier League, but some people don't give it enough credit DYC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 We are the top scorers in the league, when we go away against a title rival, we don't get beat.

The_Flash 1,144 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 It was a good point which I didn't expect before the game. But considering how well we did end up playing and had only a few minutes to go to have the victory I am sorry I stick with the ridiculous singing for Lamps put everyone off and he scored costing us the game.I just hope that doesn't happen when we play them at the bridge as he'd probably go and score a ***** hat trick, lolIt's really hard to asses we beat City, Liverpool, Utd and Arsenal last season but it was the smaller teams that cost us the league, particularly Villa we need to make sure we finish the games against the smaller side.
