Parky 739 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Easy to blame Cahill there but as a CB he had to try get afoot on that cross and sometimes they for against you. Anyway City were putting on huge pressure in their final third and delivering multiple dangerous crosses. There had far more chances and deserve to be one up. We can come back but we need to work on our build up play in possession. Too many long balls atm and Cesc invisible as usual and doing fuck all defensively. I feel Alonso does not belong in this league he's too slow and not dynamic enough as a WB. Would suit Italy or Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegenTerry 273 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Call me crazy but i would put Willian on Fabregas place,he has great pace and work-rate so he would be better for up and down much more than Fab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazard has to shoot there. Creating one chance is not even close to being good enough. City has a wonderful attack, but their defence is super shaky. If we control the midfield, we can exploit that, but with Fabregas doing nothing we are put under constant pressure. Fabregas-Alonso have contributed to us losing the midfield, while constantly seeing crosses into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinAshburner 1,270 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 in the January Transfer Window. Chelsea has to find an instant replacement for Gary Gahill and find someone better who can take Marcos Alonso position and look for a replacement for when Azpilicueta starts getting slower or more injury prone.

You're right, and a player who can't pick themselves up is too pathetic to have amongst the elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz is the reason we haven't conceded more, top performance. Shame about his partners choking up (Azpi and Cahill). Moses also getting exposed, as is Alonso. Fabregas inefficient but could have had a great assist had Hazard not also choked. Has the ball even reached Costa? Luiz and Kante are keeping us in the game so far.

Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Moses needs to look up at play the ball to pedro/hazard's feet. Then we are straight at their defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendrick 339 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Why in the world Hazard did not take that shot? This is why this player will never be up there with the best. We held for like 30 minutes, but after that it just got worse by the minute. City goal was a matter of time, a bit of a pity it came out that lame. Poor Cahill. We were the underdog with Matic, without him we didn't stand much of a chance anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willian in the middle would be great for today IMO too. The pace, defensive workrate, and ability to get out of trouble and burst through the middle would be very valuable.

FabHazard 655 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 4 minutes ago, WNDS said: I don't think that substitutions are an immediate necessity, but if things don't change in our favour early in the second-half, I'd be tempted to bring Oscar on for Fabregas and Willian on for Alonso. Oscar should tighten-up the midfield slightly, whilst Moses would switch to the left wing-back position to enable Willian to take-up a position on our right without compromising the balance of the team (Willian's good defensively for an AM, but he's not as good as Moses is; Pedro, Kante, and Azpilicueta should be able to pick up the slack). This. . . Oscar for fab and Willian for Alonso. . . If things aren't going our way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Alonso been the whipping boy in that first half. KDB/Navas were having everything they wanted vs him. And even Moses has been poor imo on defense, been switching off like crazy. Hazard gotta finish that/shoot on goal man. Really liked our defense shape though overall. Like that Conte has instructed Pedro/Hazard to tuck in, and takeaway central passing lanes. Hopefulyl we can knick a goal.. Think we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I think Moses has been poor as well. Moses, Costa, Fabregas have been absolutely woeful. Alonso has also gotten isolated too much, no thanks to Fabregas. At least Matic would have aided him much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never has Matic moved the ball with any urgency, which is what every team needs vs. City. He literally jogs. He doesn't run. Beyond Cahill & Ivanovic, I think Matic has become one of our worst players, just a slither better than Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
