DYC. 7,542 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 He played well with england defending deep and getting men behind the ball. He plays this superbly for chelsea too as people cannot get in behind him with pace.However as we look to play more offensively this season, we will not be looking to drop so deep. This creates space behind terry which makes him extremely vulnerable. Against the big teams he still has a role to play with his experience but against smaller teams looking to play us on the counter at pace, i would choose luiz and cahill at the back.Good point. Though I think without Terry we lack organization which still makes us vulnerable at the back. Top priority should be getting a world-class CB. Just look at Kompany's effect on City, Vidic for Utd and many other examples in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Good point. Though I think without Terry we lack organization which still makes us vulnerable at the back. Top priority should be getting a world-class CB. Just look at Kompany's effect on City, Vidic for Utd and many other examples in the past.Terry's organisation and leadership is second to none although in the barca away and bayern games it showed we had others with the mettle to step up in the big games and lead by example, particularly ashley cole.I would love to see how Cahill and Luiz develop as a partnership and as they gain more experience playing for a big team. Especially Cahill who has only had 6 months at Chelsea, and a handful of England caps and european matches. Remember that Vidic and Kompany were not brought as world class centre backs but developed into them at united and city. I have hopes that Luiz and Cahill can similarly follow suit.

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Won't argue about his awful performance, but I still think that he organizes our defense very. Whenever he's out, our defense looks a bit dismantled.i agree, people are over-reacting big time! we were down a man, and RDM waited wayy to long to sub someone in. he had a bad game, so what?! i never knew a CS was career defining. how many times has he saved our asses?! but no that doesnt count does it, only the one game we played vs man city with 10 MEN! and dont throw that "we beat barca crap w/10men" becasue we dont have the same players for that sytem. last time i checked we bought these players so we could play attacking football, not for parking the bus when we go down to 10 men. also, that was our game-plan (parkin bus), it wasnt our strategy for vs Man city and when you loose the players for that system, and then dont gameplan for that system how are you supposed to pull it off?! and we lost 3-2 we didnt get blown to bits, so that to me is a respectful score-line when down to 10men.whats funny is once he scores first goal or makes the last ditch block to save us the 3pts like he always fukin does week in week out, they will praise him and hail him "Legend" and "cpt Fantastic" etc. etc. to say "he's past it" is just shameful. how anyone could turn on a captain like that, is beyond me.

Disgusting journalism.Absolutely.The unwritten word in TV, newspaper 'journalism' is that Terry is an out and out cunt, and to air an alternative view is akin to being in a satanic paedophile ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 JT.Those stats account for very little since the positions of the players, and consequently the types of passes they play are completely different. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 By the way, I don't understand some of the criticism he gets like how he's a washup and a liability and whatnot. I've been hearing that for years now it seems, but he's always been this good. Sure, he has a bad game every now and then, but in my opinion, he's been fairly consistent over the years, and he rarely disappoints in big games.
