You know exactly what you meant, don't try to find a way out of it now. Disliking a player is okay, I also don't like how Ivanovic plays and I think he should be nowhere near the first team. But that's when it ends. Hoping he gets injured, breaks his leg or threatening his family or anything similar is what a scum person would do. Hiding behind Jesus doesn't change this either. It seems like you have no clue about what Jesus preached. honey, I'm not trying anything. I want him out of the team, I'm not denying it, whether someone injures him, he injures himself, I don't care, I really wish someone would see the light and drop him, but it looks like only this would take him away as we are not selling and no matter who the manager is, they won't take him out. You have your views, great, I have mine. That's it. I'd rather him to be injured than playing, this is a sport, nothing else. He will still get his pay, he has a contract, he has a lot of money and titles and honors with Chelsea, but he's a huge detractor in the team. A few weeks in the bench won't kill him. If someone actually had balls, he would already be there, injury or not. I'll ignore the family comment because that's too ignorant to comment on. Maybe I have my strong opinion about how hard I want him out of the team, you're freaking out for nothing... so, what's new? Jesus has nothing to do with that, because that's a hyperbole. I child would have understood that As for my personal religions views, thanks for worrying, but Jesus has been clear only HE is going to judge people, so you have no power to say how much I know or not about his teachings. A tit for tat, I'm wishing the bad to someone and you're judging another person. It just shows the obvious, all people need mercy because they can't be good on themselves no matter what. Now, can someone, somehow get Ivanovic out of the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStorm1003 539 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Just finished watching a replay of the match. And god were we awful. 1st half must have been some of the most boring football I've seen. Reminded me of a lot of the Euros. Second half wasn't that much of a difference, until batman and magic fabregas came in. I won0't mind having to sufferen until the dying minutes of a game if we get the wins, but please, don't play like in the first half ever again. Also, would somebody please tell Conte that Ivanovic has to be dropped. Vice-captain or not, he is too fucking awful. Pedro was mostly silent, and Oscar was okay-ish IMO. Matic was between average and bad. Also someone needs to teach Costa some technique. He saved our asses, but that's it. Conte's passion is contagious, and I like that. Also why no Cuadrado over Pedro? COME ON BLUES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did ok there but looks so much better when he has freedom of the entire pitch to play as a box to box. Let Matic sit instead and play Kante as a box to box. Lack of a specialist DM is the problem though. Under Conte everyone's a CM now lol. That's a tongue in cheek jibe about what we really mean when we use CM, DM, B2B etc. End of the day our midfield of Oscar - Matic and Kante seems to be in an interchanging midfield trio. Sure Kante does seem the furthest behind with the defence but they both in particular juggle who stays and who goes forward whatnot. Oscar will forever chase shadows, but that's the work Conte wants from him so meh. What I like about Kante is his distribution on the ball, something we lack in not having a suitable replacement for Cesc that fits Conte's profile. That's why I really think Cesc needs to come back into the team if we are to score goals such as today. But it's difficult to see where he features in the starting XI. You won't get the defensive work of Oscar coming from Cesc and it's arguable that leaves us static in midfield. If Matic and Kante remind deep leaving Fabregas advanced then inevitably the game will pass him by with little to no contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jernej93 569 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I liked 4-4-2 (4-2-4) better than 4-3-3 I think Costa would work perfectly with anther striker like Batshuayi alongside, because Belgian is a classic poacher and Costa is more a false nine type of striker I prefer Moses as the right wing so far because he likes to cut inside. Willian likes back passes too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 2 hours ago, Gilvorak said: The dream Deary me, that team is wrong on so many levels. A right footed player being our only source of width on the left side? Terry in a 3 at the back formation? Fabregas and Hazard both in a midfield 3? Our squad is far away from being able to form a competent 3 at the back formation. We need at leastChristensen and a new CB, one more midfielder, and a left wing back for that to happen. Dont think Hazard would fit anywhere in Conte's 3 at the back formation. If he leaves at the end of the season and Christensen comes back maybe the pieces join together for Conte to finally use his favorite formation.

I also think all of us would agree that a full-back as well as a centre back is what is needed. I do think though that this squad needs more help than just upgraded defenders.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I think a main point that showed today is our lack of creativity, So many people been on about getting rid of Cescy and how good Oscvar is with Matic! Well that ideas a load of bollox eh! When Cescy put that ball thru for Costa evey one of us there knew he was gonna score. Big flashback of the North London game when the same thing happened. We all know he aint the best defender or the fastest on the planet. But get him some time and space plus the targets to get the ball to then hes the assist king! Who has by the way the most assists since 2014. And how many of us wanted Moses on RAM? I'd put Square or him in over Willian right now. They both offer more in attack. Willians just not been right yet this season for some reason. Been a long day and not been home that long but just in time to hopefully see Connor win.

Man, Chelsea have some frustrating players in the ranks. It's not good. That would get overrun on a regular basis. Willian is a shuttler but nowhere near a ball winner and Cesc, well... that was a majestic ball but he's not up for a midfield battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
