Tbf, I'll never forgive Michael for not knocking him out... Surrounding is annoying but everyone does it. Waving imaginary cards on the other hand.....not pretty.

y10edn 185 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 My post after the Watford game below, Guus will trust the 3 players he worked in his first stint, with the trust and love Iva, Mikel, Terry would standup/react positively and would rally the new boys. This would create competition for Matic, Mikel, Ramires and the team would be the better for it, Falcoa to be released in January for Bramford to get into the squad would be great: Chelsea 2-2 Watford in The Match Posted 26 Dec 2015 · Report post Was at the game has all Home games this season and observe thus: Guus H lineup: He is getting to know the team that is in a mess mentally at the busiest time of the season and would get some decisions wrong like any other manager but with some luck we won't get punished before he knows his best 10 outfield. At the moment he has only worked with Terry, Iva and Mikel from his last stint, he would rely on them to rally the troops get ready to see these trio unless they one of them really mess up the opportunity. Although I would have preferred Oscar subbed rather than Pedro, seeing Cesc subbed was deserved and refreshingly we probably would have conceded more with Fabregas on the pitch in the 2nd half. The 2 goals we conceded were avoidable but I can't fault Matic for purpose and commitment today, lets move on. The Penalty: we lack an effective taker since Lampard and Drogba, Hazard and Oscar wait for the keeper to move and ones the keeper doesn't commit they become jolted: Hazard and Oscar are poor penalty takers. This was a much better performance and the Sub affected the game positively for us, Hazard for Pedro and Mikel for Cesc offered more, won a penalty, balanced the play and put us in the front footing. Another observation is that Watford came respecting us hence the 1st 15 minutes of good possession we had in the 1st half, we had lost that respect from Away teams before now. Costa finally got back to scoring but got booked unnecessarily and would miss the Man U match, I wonder how Watford would have coped if Remy had come in to pair Costa when we were chasing the game. Ivanovic: we are riding our luck with him, he lacks pace defending and got caught out a couple of times; Attacking he offers little crossing and made the wrong decision in the box twice when Willian laid it on. 3 would have been better but we wouldn't have achieved 1 point in this match last month.

Cosmin 2,484 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Yesss! Finally! As I said before the game, we cannot afford to "settle for a draw" against anyone anymore. We have to win. I hope that this is just the beggining. Mind you, though, I think that we were pretty sloppy before the first goal. Sometimes, our players look old and disconnected. I don't know why we lack speed so much, considering the fact that Oscar, Pedro, Hazard, Costa and Willian are all capable of making good runs. Anyway, I am very happy for John Obi Mikel. I always liked the guy and I consider him very important for us. He was here when we lost that final, he was here when we won the last 3 leagues, I think, he was here when we won that other final. He and JT are the only ones connecting us to those performances. The guy deserves more respect than he's given. We must win the next three games, the one in the cup and the others in the league. It's time to get a good run and bounce back to the decent side of the table. Come on, Chelsea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Since Mourinho got the sack, we have scored 8 goals in 4 league matches, which is 1 goal less than the total amount we netted in 10 league games before that. (could have been 9-9 if Oscar hadn't missed his penalty!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(could have been 9-9 if Oscar hadn't missed his penalty!) I mentioned before how it was the same in the first time he left. Take a look at how we played before he got sack and after. Liverpool games was even more telling in the cl. Look at how we played after the new managers came in. Mourinho tends to keep a shackle on the players, and then they are release once he is gone.

coolhead23 1,147 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Great 3 points ... (Honestly, wasnt expecting this) The positive thing for me other than the 3 points is how physical we were in the game, didnt matter who ... big guy or the small one ... we hit them and HIT THEM HARD not only on the score board but also on the field. We didnt let them bully us which is like the first I feel I have seen this season. Not sure what would be the outcome from the coming games but there are few things we can do no matter what the outcome and playing the way we did today (keeping it simple) will take us a long way ahead ... On a side note, had we turned up like this from the start ... United fans wouldnt have chatted "Jose Mourinho!!!" in the last couple of games ...

BioHazard 10 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Was quietly confident we would do the damage yesterday but was surprised how well we turned out. Very nice performance to build on for rest of season, just hope the first half of the season becomes a distant memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
