cosmicway 1,333 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Maybe I 'm ignorant but is this system of trying to break a packed defense with small passes in their semicircle any good ? Invariably the ball is lost and there is no effort at goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Just now, Pizy said: Aina looked miles better than he did. Not even on his natural side, either. He did but the team as a whole played better. I'm not at the point where I'm willing to give up on Baba, there is something there it just needs to be brought out.... Preseason is all I'll give him. Aina does look like a nice sleeper, someone to keep an eye on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea4 1,521 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 It's Conte's first game and he is master tactican he knows what we did wrong today and what we did good he will try different players,different formations,different tactics and we didn't have Hazard,Kante,Courtois,Azpilicueta,Fabregas,Batshuayi and Pedro.Some players like Moses,Chalobah and Ola Aina were really good today.

milka 3,393 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 We need new RB and CB . Good - Djilobodji , Chalobah , Moses Bad - Baba , Matic , Costa Very bad- Mikel , Ivanovic , Oscar, Begovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Aina, Chalobah and Moses were decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Gino 377 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I'll gladly take Tomori, Aina, and Chalobah and ship off Mikel, Papy and Baba. Moses must stay and in regards to Loftus-Cheek he needs to go on loan and fight for a spot in another league. Terry should enjoy the preseason now because unfortunately I can't see him playing a big part this season, captain or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,914 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 People can stop saying "Conte is a genius, he'll know what to do to fix things." Yes, we know he is and can. But will the club allow him to sell the likes of Ivanovic, Mikel, Baba, and Oscar? That's where I have my doubts. The club has to allow him to make these decisions or we hamstring ourselves. Terry and Cahill should be our two backup CB's only. We need at least one new, top class one. Maybe two. Ivanovic needs to be sold. Probably Baba too and Aina can take his place.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 7 minutes ago, Pizy said: Don't care about the performance or result, but how many more times will we have to see Ivanovic and Mikel suck cock before we finally rid ourselves of them? How many different CB partnerships do we need to experiment with before we finally buy new ones? Of course the club are obviously working on a new CB, but we may need more than one. Ivanovic and Baba are shocking. That's nothing to do with this match though, does it? The market is still open for some time, and there will most likely be a lot more changes and as someone said, most of the players who played today will not be key players for us next season and probably more than half won't even be here. Also, suck cock? Really? Read someone said cancer a few pages back as well. I guess that's the general football culture now, but I honestly can't help but cringe, sorry.

nono 791 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Terry, Cahill and Ivanovic are not Premiership players any more. If the club doesn't want to buy defenders they should just let the youth team play. If they start I'm going to be upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I'm perfectly ok with rest of the team but God almighty Ivan, he is really pushing my limit, I'm this close to wish him a small knock just enough to keep him out. I know it's one hell of an evil thought but I just can't help to worry. Hopefully Conte sees what we saw and fix it either put Azpi on the right permanently or buy someone good before September.

Mate, we said all last season that "Oh, there's no way Ivanovic and Mikel will keep playing. Changes will be made." And yet they continued to play. What I'm saying is, I'll have to see it to believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever watched the youth team knows that Aina is extremely prone to defensive errors. I can't believe that people are fooled by few bits here and there when there's big writing on the wall from his youth games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry completely forgot Aina is a natural RB isn't he? Just replace Ivan with our Ola boy if we're not going to get someone in this transfer window.

Bobo 58 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hello guys! It was Chelsea's first game for this season, so it is my first post on this forum. Just saying. Even if it was only a "pre-season" game, I was disappointed. And damn this guy Ivanovic, can't stand him anymore. I hope everything goes uphill from now on.

Polo7 3,496 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 How can anyone be seriously annoyed by this? Its our first preseason game. Manager has only been in charge for 3 days.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 This was more about fitness than anything else. Good run out for the lads in the build up to bigger things. Always annoying to lose but lets not forget the big picture of fitness and new manager surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
