Pizy 18,927 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 What a shocking 2nd half performance. We completely took our foot off the gas and thought they would just roll over and give up. Instead, they had their tails up and took the game to us whilst we were totally unable to regain composure. Sarri really has to work on this. Very common occurrence.

communicate 2,703 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Alonso is having a nightmare game. Kovacic need to step up Morata will struggle to play if he does not improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 yeah but in the end their goal was their only real chance, defended well except for that. what a tank RLC is milked minutes off the clock with his size alone. ^but after the 2-0 we were so wasteful. hazard and rlc both should have scored and willian was once again a pain to watch.

Thor 2,716 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 My take from the game: We play boring, lazy and inefficient football. We have regressed since our first month and a bit. We created almost nothing outside of the goals we scored, and it is because we are lazy and inefficient. No vertical passing. No pressing around their box. Just a bunch of defenders and our defensive midfield playing it back and forth to one another and amassing another one of these 65% + possession games that look impressive on paper. That is our mindset though. Rest on the ball when we have it. Wait until something happens. Until something presents. We don't press and force action like a Barca, City or even Sarri Napoli. Nah, we just rest on the ball. Happy to have it, but don't need to do anything with it. RLC was a postive. Even when thrown into a new position each time, he is extremely effective. Doesn't really have a position, but he is the type of player we need. Dynamic and able to move the ball. Alonso needs to leave. Never liked him. Never will. Sorry. But you're the only player on this team, ever, that I can say that for. Kovacic isn't cut out for it. Doesn't do anything. A whole lot of sideways passes and not any action. Hazard drops too deep for me when he is playing CF. He looks good trying to get in behind the line. He is better when more direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 1. Vital 3 points but the performance left a lot to be desired. Thankfully, Brighton gave us a free half. 2. The referee didn't have a clue what he was doing. 3. Alonso was hopeless again and yet, Sarri continued to play him. WHY?! Ivanovic all over again.

Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 We need a new LB right now Alonso is not it! We won't finish in the top 4 if he starts for the rest of the season. Can you imagine being 2-0 and still not feeling comfortable?? That's what Alonso does to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 RLC is much better talent than Barkley. I dont know how people didnt see it. But performances recently finaly show it for everyone to see. Only player that has both phyisical and technical qualities. With some more polishing, he will be good player and hopefuly we dont regress him into squad filler but full first 11 material. Alonso was realy poor, but that challenge in the end was right one or March would be 1v1 with kepa. Also Soton winning vs arse. Hasenhutll already showing his worth.

blues.bridge 343 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 i have seen only second half but: Alonso is ridiculous 3/10, Luiz is a disgrace 4/10 and Willian is Useless, he runs on the field without purpose, he does not press well, he does not create anything, he does a lot of precision mistakes or other 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLOL Pogba and Martial on the bench v Victimpool, Mou is cray I dont get his tactics. Now he has three fullbacks on the field, meanwhile all creative players (Mata, Pogba) are on the bench. Lukaku starts despite being being dogshit all season, Martial on the bench. The man has lost it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
