It's very rare that we completely control match like we did against Burnley. 3-1 vs Manchester United. Eto'o Hattrick. We dominated that game.

I cannot see in 3 weeks the board bringing in the not just the amount of players needed but the correct areas too. Let's wait until we play some of the better teams in the league. Burnley, Watford and West Ham are all poor teams imo. Matic, Ivanovic and Oscar will all struggle against United/City/Arsenal etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen a better Chelsea performance than that one. From start to finish, complete dominance. Beautiful and crisp play as well. 8 minutes ago, Fernando said: We always beat Arsenal so that is a no brainer.

The Chels 2,502 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Even though we didn't score many, the first 45 minutes especially of the home matches against West Brom and West Ham (amongst others) in the 14/15 season come to mind for the brutal intensity and incessant attacking.

When you stay behind the ball for too long, anything can happen. We are improving also in this aspect.“ [Telegraph] Fucking finaly. I been thinking about it for ages. The only way to win the game is to play football, not to defend. If you start defending, you can only hope luck is on your side. When Juve was playing Bayern, that was clear as day. They attacked and got lead 2:0. When they parked the bus, they conceded 4 goals. Same with us against PSG for past two years, yet people were saying tactics were good. If you play top opponent, you need to take ball away from them if you can. Why the hell would you let them pass and attack for whole game and give them 100 chances. If possible, always take the ball away from them and attack them. Teams who are great in possesion struggle when pressed and play great when in possesion. Their defences get all confused if you press because they are not used to that. And yet teams always park buses and let them play their way. No shit you concede at one point because we dont have such great defense anyway. There is a reason why teams like Barca dominate for years while Chelsea, Inter, Portugal happens very rarely. Im glad Conte knows that defending for 90min is lottery. There must be happy medium. Normaly you need to defend, but for past three years our key CL games were disaster. No attacking desire whatsoever. Ryan Fong, Darogba, Miki-Liki and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our case with our backline doing that would basically be the equivalent of offering yourself to get fucked in the arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 "Chelsea should clinch the signing of full-back Marcos Alonso before the transfer deadline but may have to cope without midfielder Marcelo Brozovic.

Chelsea are one of the biggest, richest clubs in the world and we may have to resort to scrambling for a loan signing of of a CB on the final day of the transfer window. The one position we most needed heading into the summer. Shocking, really. We also can't sign this dude from Inter when they supposedly don't even want him and are replacing him with a new signing? It's just comical. Something must be going on in regards to the new stadium. It's the only legitimate excuse as to why we aren't spending. But you know what would help fund a new stadium? Fucking CL football money and possibly winning the title! Both of which are monumental asks without more top class signings. Our club may emerge from this summer looking like complete amateurs. Almost as bad as last summer. kellzfresh, bababoom, TheIceMan and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio8 736 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 28 mil for alonso when it is possible to buy de sciglio for 18-20.. incredible transfermarket.. caceres remains the only cb we can take in this moment (for maksimovic they want 30 mil ie three times his real value) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
