warnie_666 1,081 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) It's obvious that we're just trying out zonal marking. He used it with Brazil, it's what he knows and now he's using it with us. To get a whole squad of players to swap from man marking to zonal takes a while, the reason we're conceding so many goals from set pieces is because of this, the team needs to get used to zonal marking and be able to use it properly. Until then we'll be vulnerable to set pieces, but Scolari is taking the risk for the rewards that should come next season, those being that the team can zonal mark, and do it well and won't concede as many goals from set pieces. Our Team was used to Zonal marking. Jose implemented that perfectly with two men on either posts. Scolari for some reason changed it to man to man for which we needed men marking men and not posts. To change a team well set with zonal marking for past 3-4 yrs to man marking one fine year, screwed up our defenses and hence you could see no one at the posts and goals going in. Although now we see more of zonal marking, with Asheley guarding the post, We are still not winning balls in the air. That needs to be fixed.

diskoviolente 425 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I think that we did quite well in the beginning of season. But than the injuries really hit the team hard. Chelsea managed to cover Essien a bit with Mikel and Belletti, but we were lacking the attacking force of Essien. Just imagine we had Essien, Joey and Riccy all together in games like WHU home, Fulham away and so on. The results would have been different, promise ya ! Than everything else collapsed with the media talk about Romans loss in the credit crunch - everything bad joined in the right moment. Right, we were shit against the big teams and got goals in Cechs net because of set pieces. The thing i just wonder about is why we didn´t got them in the beginning of the season ? So, maybe this year is not ours again, but our time will come. (still looking good in the cup) What would you do as manager having serious personal problems but being told to be able to spend lots of money but than not ? Lets get all bit more calm and relaxed. I know this is hard to say, i can´t sleep when Chelsea lost a game and do nothing else but trying to see the positive sides... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,349 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Good point about Essien, Carvalho and Joe Cole being available. There are some players who go the extra mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) i've read through all the post and yes guy's and gals your all correct in your comments, but the divining omission is that the blame always lies at the very top, it's abramovich that's got us in this mess and him alone, his fucking attitude that there's no money avalible is total bollocks. we've at least got one half decent signing Quresma, just hope he can produce some of his decent performances, as for the rest of the muppets i've been telling anyone who'll listen we need a fucking good clear out....for fuck sake get rid of malouda, kalou, ballack, deco, anelka, di santo, minero (i mean what the fuck did they sign him for). i'm fed up up with the terrible embarassing perfermances we've had to suffer, any club has to continue to improve their squads each year and because he hasn't we've ended up with q bunch of non performing geriatrics. off rant regards: JBD Edited February 6, 2009 by josesbluediamonds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Agree with you there, Wes, Malouda I can understand, but di Santo and Anelka? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Selling Kalou is also no good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary gordon 1,777 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Selling Kalou is also no good idea Agree! He has saved our ass on many occasions ths season! But really Deco, Miniero, Malouda should all be traded or sold for fresher legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James 5,337 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 People forget Kalou is only 23, seems to have been around for ages now. Forget Kalou, Malouda's the first one who should be out the door. Never have i seen a winger so lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I'll be very surprised if he goes with Malouda. Quaresma's been training with the lads so its not as if he won't know his teammates, and Scolari knows what he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Stand Lower 1 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 sorry to say this but...... SCOLARI OUT on the back of todays awful draw against Hull (who lets face it, got what they came for) we need another manager.... not a new one, another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Think its a bit to early to say 'Scolari Out' yet, but his tactics and substitutions do worry me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Think its a bit to early to say 'Scolari Out' yet, but his tactics and substitutions do worry me. Spot on. I hate making comparisons to Jose, but he would have had Mikel off on 30 minutes, Drogba pushed on and basically went 4-2-4 looking to get the goal needed to get the points asap and then adapt his tactics for the remainder of the game. Scolari is frightened imo to take chances. He has to realise that sitting back hoping for something to happen is not going to work. Its worked once or twice for him, Stoke being the prime example.
