coolhead23 1,147 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Liked the urgency in the game ... everyone knew for the FIRST time this season what is at stake and they were driven towards it ... I thought we might just draw the game by being defensive but we really went for the kill and EARNED the win in the end. Hoping we keep that intensity and tempo up and Top 5 can be a possibility ....

Special Juan 28,141 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Delighted with that win. Also delighted with the work ethic of certain players too.Onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Traveler 256 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Scored 2 and we could've scored atleast 4 more with the chances we had! Shocking how inept we are in front of goal.I want Gent for the next round... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizacar 93 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I want us to get ikay gundogan from dortmund. He is not cup tied and will be a great partner for matic. Hope we sell fabregas though that guy stinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Sicarius 610 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Good game from long time...Our first goal was so lucky(how costa could miss it?) but in second half we just dominated(lol how long i didnt use this word to describe our game) them. And we scored goal from open game Sometimes it looked like old Chelsea backs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I 'm not happy with Costa.He seems to keep missing the simplest of chances. He actually missed the first goal and then the billiard ball collision favoured us.He plays up front so once in a blue moon he finds the net.I 'm afraid I consider him now the no 1 reason for our problems. There are reasons no 2, 3, 4, 5 ... of course - he could n't be the only one.Against Bournemouth for instance why did n't we score at least one before they scored ? Where is our high caliber striker ?I 've seen it before. High profile transfers failing to deliver and Torres was n't one of them imho. Sevchenko is the typical example. Falcao from Monaco to United, but we know the reason for that. Greaves to AC Milan in the old years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jernej93 569 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 One substitution of out of form player (Fabregas) and we are like 30% better. That makes me even more sad about our situation ... we have enough quality players on our bench but Mourinho lacks rotation. It seems like he is isn't even trying and that bothers me the most. Players like Ramires, RLC, Baba, Kenedy, Traore and Remy should get their chance if starting lineup is underperforming!!! I am not sure why we should buy new players in January (maybe only Costa replacement if he leaves). Some new expensive players would mean end of Chelsea career for our young players and some loanees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvhedin 526 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hi friend!After our performance today I think is absolutely clear that we have a mental block in Premier League. Mainly because today we returned to play like last season. Our problem is a mental thing, our players are good players and our project is not dead.But I also think we need to do some signing in the January transfer market. Primarily a creative midfielder like Gundogan (although he will be very difficult to sign), another forward to compete with Diego and generate more competitiveness, and a centre-back (John Stones). Three signings may be enough to improve our team.Fabregas will have very difficult to play again in our starting eleven. If someone should come into our midfield that man is Ruben Loftus-Cheek because he is our future.Our team is good, as we showed last season, but we need 3 or 4 signings in January and try to play like today to return to restore the confidence in ourselves. This is the right way.Regards.Fabregas will be back in squad very soon, wanna bet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 You over analyse and look for mistakes/errors ....they all played quite well...no stand out performance whether good or bad. As close to a complete team performance as we have seen for a few monthsreally? i simply analysed and said how each of them played. just because we won, does not mean it was a perfect performance. and there were a stand out performers for me - Matic, hazard and willian.and no, they did not all play well. iva was horrible again.

Thought he played quite well actually along with the defensive unit as a whole, which in turn gave the whole team a platform to build on.It was a decent middle ground performance ....no head turners that make you go 'wow' and no shockers either.Thats my opinion and you have yours.We differ.....as usual, where I have a more level headed and rounded approach to a view and you go from one extreme to the other.Both can be right .But thanks for your input...respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Love the result and love the positive atmosphere here, good result all-around. Voted Willian as MOTM but Hazard was on fire aswell. Let's build on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXL70 396 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Costa was the worst player on the pitch. Why not playing Remy? Besides, I am under the impression that the players are more motivated to play the CL than the PL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Anyone praising Costa's deserves to be shot. Torres has played similar games yet deservedly got dogs abuse because he didn't score.The only similarities I can think between Costa tonight and any game Torres had was his match at WHL, were the Madristian got 117 votes for MOTM, despite costing us the game.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Costa does the beach hero performances well so the fans love him - never mind the cards.But he's too "uncle Georgy" for this level of football.I remember some of his performences with Atletico in 2013-14 but not in detail. Then in the final against Real Madrid he did n't play because of injury. Then in Brazil he was useless along with the rest of the Spanish team, when he was already a Chelsea player.With us he started well. He was effective although instances of slow-motionism were discernible. From Jan 2015 and afterwards, nothing. 12 months is a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
