Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Shame he likes to throw things at people I'd have prefered if he's done a Cantona and dropped kicked someone tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseafc123 0 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) I think it was a match in the Chelsea attack that he could not set well in front of a team that was shut down completely. While Chelsea is a team that plays well collectively, individually you need a player to break defenses closed. I think that Scolari thinks the Robinho for that job. It's just an opinion.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I agree with Scolari,they came for a draw and they got it. We tried,mean we battered them for the 2nd half and just werent happening.The Given leaps over the line and yet..maybe just looked more over then was but But all in all,not such a bad result considering none of the top 4 won or even scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Frustrating result, we just weren't able to stick it away. Newcastle did well what they came here to do so credit to them, we just weren't able to break them down. Two things that made the difference. 1 - Shay Given. saving Lampard's header was crucial. If that went in I reckon we would've steamrollered them. 2 - lack of Drogba, as TriBlue or BlueLion have said, he could have made the difference. But we've got lucky cause none of the top 4 or even Villa won. So just learn from it and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Poor game!! Like Tri-Blue already stated, this was a perfect chance to get one over on Liverpool and go ahead on points, but Newcastle simply parked the bus in front of the goal and there was nothing we could do about it. Frustrating game. It's also very annoying, that a game which seemed easy to get a win for teams that have played Newcastle prior to today, has seemed to be a frustrating one for us. (Except United drawing 1-1 with them at home at the beginning of the season) I think we should have played them while they had bad form and were under turmoil. I don't think this was a good time because Joe Kinnear probably had given them belief, and a good string of results. Still, no excuse. Liverpool and United drawing blank, we should have capitalised on this with a goal, chance wasted!! Not happy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Looking back, we did everything right but score. Just one of those days in front of goal, I guess. The home form is certainly stuttering now. 3 wins from 7 isn't good enough. We can't afford to rely on our away form to keep us top of the league, we really have to win at least 10 of our 12 remaining home fixtures.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 It could've been worse.We could've drawn and everyone else won just won of those things And tbh we played Spurs when they were crap and drew them lol,just one of those days,14 shots on target.Could've played all night and not scored..not one that counted anyway no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
