Closed Stoke v Chelsea

[FabHazard 655]

we need to get score though...stoke can get some fluke goal out of nowhere!

[Special Juan 27,553]

Just get the HT over with because Frank Lampard as pundit bores the shit out of me.

Okay notes:

- Fucking hate Stoke and Niall Quinn in equal measure,

- The three behind the striker are our first choice, Oscar and his slow down play should be nowhere near.

- Hazard, Willian and Pedro looking good, happy for Pedro in particular.

- Costa doing his best Torres impression, hanging around anywhere but the middle, unlucky not to score though.

- Baba having a torrid time but Shaqiri is a quality player, he will learn from this.

COME ON YOU BLUES.

Completely disagree about "3 behind the striker".

Pedro should not even be a Chelsea player at this point, and his 1st half performance was far from convincing or anything special in my books.

Hazard tried, tried, tried, tried, but at the end of the day nothing was produced from his effort and he managed to end attacking opportunities with bad decisions.

Only Willian at this point should be a "first choice",

I don't know I feel we're playing near our maximum at the moment. Intensity is good, approach is good. But when you don't have a single clue about attacking play it is what it is. HAVE YOU SEEN WILLIAN, MATIC, PEDRO with the ball ? They take ages to make a move, they have to think over what they're doing next, ffs that should be automatic

defense looking much more solid, but please, Remy for Costa in the 2nd half, we need more threat up front and Costa has been very poor, at least that´s my view.

If only we had an end product.

Comes from training and practice - something we appear to lack

We have players that could play triangles and quick one touch passing - but just don't seem to adopt it

We just panic in the final 3rd

Hopefully it's just confidence and a few wins and it will sort itself out...

McDonald's theme tune???

Definitely makes sense, but no cigar.

Lol ? I can't utter Charlie Adams name in the same breath as Super Frank

Feels dirty

[DYC. 7,542]

Adam is such an frustrated individual. But I guess that's what walking around with a mug like that does to you. Imagine him without a football career.

[Laylabelle 9,409]

We're not doing to bad...just no end product all seems to fall apart!Hopefully can get a goal..or two..or three next half just something from this!

Much rather listen to Lampard or Neville than to scousers to be honest, my ears and brain hurt when scousers speak...

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

I would be so shocked if Costa comes off before 80 if at all.

Cesc will probably come on for pedro or ramires at 60/70 and maybe cahill for baba if the yellow becomes too much of a caution.

Costa is displaying all the signs of an out of form striker

Avoiding the box like a plague

So yeah deffo need Remy on, or Costa to fluke a goal and try to get some confidence back - but to do that he needs to go in the box Catch 22

[The Power 147]

My half-time notes:

- Willian is GOAT

- Hazard and Pedro are always playing very well

- Butland is fantastic

- Shaqiri vs Baba is very interesting, hopefully Baba can learn a lot from this

- Begovic has been good

- Costa still runs around out wide when he could be doing stuff like when he took that shot vs Butland

[zolayes 14,489]

oh for a Greavsie ,, An Osgood ,, A Didier or a JFH ,, a STRIKER who scores . or a Costa from last October

Jeez.

Probably a ladies man, with a successful chippy business. Easily an 8/10 in his native Scotland.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Unlucky Hazard great idea if only.the players around you weren't so fucking useless lol
