Adnane 1,101 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 He mentioned quite the opposite actually, stating that the first goal is offside and that it's a bit his fault since he demands from his players to stay high until the ball is kicked. In the follow-up there is a foul on Kanté by Indi the goalscorer. So the ref signals an offside, no goal for Stoke, they're looking for an equalizer and we probably kill them off on the break. There are doubts on their second goal as well, Crouch almost shoots the head of Cahill lol. Don't blame the refs on this one as these was very close calls and hard to spot amid the mess that Stoke tend to make of their set-pieces but no need to panic as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, I get that but putting the referee aside for a moment, our defending for the goals and some other incidents were less than desirable. But other than that, we certainly were decent against Stoke. 11Drogba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Conte did mention a thing or two about our defending and given he's Italian and a demanding manager, he wouldn't have been entirely satisfied in our performance and would want to rectify the mistakes. and mentioned the offside goal, which is what has been pointed out to you. Did we have some mistakes? Of course, we did. He mentioned what he was asked... which was conceding twice. His tone wasn't complaining in my opinion. People here love to nitpick and point out every single mistake we make, as if football presentations were supposed to be perfect endeavors.

Cosmin 2,484 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 This is how the table looked after our last game before the 13 consecutive wins (0-3 on Emirates). 8 points behind the leaders, 4 behind Spurs, 3 behind Liverpool and Arsenal, 2 behind United.

Popular Post! Barbara 15,149 Posted January 3, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted January 3, 2017 we definitely need someone to replace Oscar. When Pedro was suspended, we didn't have anyone to replace Willian in the game if we needed or wanted to have another AM. That's a fact. We also don't have replacements for our wing backs. Ivanovic ain't one. He only comes when we need to close the shop towards the end of matches. If Moses or Alonso get injured or suspended, there is no one to play their roles, unless we improvise. There's no way Kenedy, who has just been reintegrated to the team would play. And that's not even considering improvement in the starting XI, as there are some positions we could definitely use improvement, in theory (because fact remains Pedro, Moses and Alonso are overachieving or playing out of their mind, you choose your vocab).

I like and agree with all you say Barbara apart from Moses and I'm quite happy to not upgrade him. TYi would be excellent to be able to find a WB that plays both wings eh! That Sidibe can do it and Conte/Emenalo both went to watch HIM apparently but worth snatching a couple from them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been lucky not to have injuries or suspensions to key players, because our options from the bench are the likes of Aina, Ivanovic, Loftus-Cheek and Batshuayi. That's not good enough and doesn't inspire confidence. Fernando and Johnnyeye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! The Chels 2,502 Posted January 4, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted January 4, 2017 I said in the pre-match thread that it's important not to overreact whatever the result, but it must be said that our performances against the bigger teams this season have left a lot to be desired. Liverpool, City, Arsenal and Tottenham all exposed us defensively. The media have definitely overrated us in that respect and the big teams know we are there to be got at. It's therefore even more vital that we remain consistent against the lesser sides. This will hopefully be enough to get us over the line.
