Milan 17,957 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I highly don't care about the results in pre-season. The thing which worries me more is the way we are playing and defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuf 1,448 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yep let's blame Turnbull for that, never mind the shite defending.Yep let's love Turnbull he is the best goalkeeper ever to play for us It's not his fault, right? Somebody made mistake so he can leave the ball to just roll in, because it's not his mistake, right?He is so great! I don't need Cech! Turnbull all the way!

DYC. 7,542 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Power midfields (Essien-Mikel-Lampard or Essien-Lampard-Ramires) won't work ! We need a playmaker and someone for the right attacker position. Carlo clearly won't use Kakuta there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYC. 7,542 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) I highly don't care about the results in pre-season. The thing which worries me more is the way we are playing and defending.+1We're playing horrible football. Too many defensive mistakes and hardly doing anything in attack.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Turnbull couldn't save a game on FIFA. Kakuta and Benayoun were both anonymous. The team were outstandingly solid in the first half; all of a sudden we capitulate after Lampard and Ivanovic are subbed. I know results don't matter but the way we played was woeful... the 8-0 thrashing of Wigan looks so long ago, doesn't it? On the plus side John Mikel Obi was outstanding, and I thought Ferreira had a good match too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Its better to get these defeats out of the way now when they dont matter. Even Sundays game doesnt matter that much, but its always nice to put a marker down for the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea stopped to play that quick passing football when they were substituted and it was much of individual game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas 1,468 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yay for over-reacting We looked rusty,not too bad really.I'm happy all those f-ups are happening during pre-season and not in important games.Mikel looked extraordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Drog 1,110 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 This pre season has been the polar opposite of last years. I thought last years excellent pre season gave us great confidence going into the season, this pre season has done anything but, some shocking defensive mistakes, a lack of sharpness in front of goal and if I were to guess Id say Ajax, Frankfurt and Hamburg have all had more possession their games against us.For their first goal the culprits are Terry and Zjirkov, for somebody with Terry's experience I would expect him to play a pass to Zhirkov while he is surrounded by 3 Hamburg players. Still though Zhirkov's pass back was dreadful.The second goal and again you have to look at Terry, Son has slipped in behind him so easily and he has completely messed up his attempt to intercept the ball, Carvalho didnt exactly cover himself in glory either.Im finding it hard to find positives from this game and pre season as a whole, Mikel looked good, Drogba got some game time as did Kakuta and thats where the positives end. We can only hope that Ancelotti can scare these playschool mistakes out of the system of our defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
