gary gordon 1,777 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Honestly I don't want to get too carried away because I know it's pre-season and all but I can't hide my disappointment at what I've seen. We plain and simply look like shit. No direction, unorganized in defence, no ball control, passing is inept and our finishing is shocking. I just hope we don't have the same world cup hangover as 2006. Our players just look like they want to be somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall 315 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Fortunately the first half performance (minus Kalou) was fantastic and that's who'll be playing against Man poo-nited. Also let's not forget Anelka scored a perfectley legitimate goal that was disallowed and Drogba would of stuck his chance away on top form and all of the first half players played brilliantly. Turnbull wasn't that bad although he only had two things to do and bollocks-ed them both up, he should've been braver for the first but then again it is pre-season and Zhirkov shouldn't of done that horrifcally shite ball. Then the second I think he could've done better but Terry and Carvalho both should of too so no major Ajax-esque mistakes from him. I don't think theres too much cause for concern, just a shit pre-season for results really. Oh well. At least we've got all of our losses out of the way for the season now! COME ON THE BLUES.

Term-X 7,891 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 How was Kakuta playing?He provided a great ball to zhrikov, but the players around him could have given him better service and more creative passes.Although i only just started watching the game in the 70th minute.

Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Kakuta made one good pass and then was anonymous and giving the ball away for the rest of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Problem is THAT WE ARE NOT WINNING SHIT!!!... WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYBODY IN THE BACK? What is so hard no to see Cech ??? And What are Turnball and Hilario Doing all this years of practice WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING... I can Forget Ricky or Terry ... if they make a Mistake they do it in 1% of the time playing... But it looks like Hilario and Turnball are playing Who make the Stupidest Gol Agains there own DoorO all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Drog 1,110 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 To be fair to Kakuta he has had very little rest time after having an outstanding and draining tournament for France, also you can argue that left wing is not his best position. Something that annoyed me abouty the game today, first half and Anelka just drops so deep, literally the man is in the centre circle at times when we are in possession, then when he gets on the ball its just far too slow, surely Essien or Lampard can pick up the ball in midfield and Nic can just stay up top at the figurehead of our attack? Im not saying I expect him to be standing beside the keeper ala Van Nistelrooy but he seriously does not need to get involved with the build up as he does and when he does it needs to be faster. Again in my search for positives, Benayoun provided one or two nice touches, looked clever and fast on the ball, I have high hopes for him this season.

eldo 868 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hahaha RX8 Terry's and Carvalho's mistakes count the same as Turnbull's and Hilario's.I don't know why you guys count Ajax game where squad was very youthful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) I don't think theres too much cause for concern, just a shit pre-season for results really. Oh well. At least we've got all of our losses out of the way for the season now! COME ON THE BLUES.Exactly,this is actually the only game our first XI lost,3rd loss on row may look bad on paper but that's just bollocks.As much as I'd love to I can't slate Ross for any of the goals,the defence just fucked up.The thing that I'm more worried about is how easily they got the ball on corners.Our set-piece defending looks bad.Kakuta wasn't involved much but who was in those last few minutes?

chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Well, what have I learned over the three pre-season defeats we've seen on this tour?? Well one thing springs to mind... our defence is stale, shaky, wobbly, and above all.... SHITE!Why is Ancelotti playing Jeffrey Bruma at right back, when CLEARLY he's a natural centreback?? And Carvalho, one of the most reliable defenders we have at this club, getting turned over by an unknown Korean is just a complete joke!John Terry is nowhere near the player he was last season... it's not as if he was the best defender last season.... but yeah, he's past it. He's just far too slow at clearing the ball. I honestly think it was a bad thing that he got booked because he had to be careful for the rest of the game.Probably the best performer for me was Obi Mikel. He held the ball up superbly, and he put in some lovely balls to the strikers up front. Drogba was selfish, a couple of times he was through on goal, and he tried to be flash and the goalkeeper just came and collected it up from his feet. Kakuta did well... I thought he won the ball rather well at times, but later on in the game, he just got careless and he was easily robbed of the ball.To summarise, we really need to improve our defensive tactics, otherwise we might as well drop the title down a well next season. With that defence I also fear how we're going to do next season. I hope we're not going to do an AIK Stockholm. Win the league title one season, and then next season, find it hard to win games!! Absolutely pathetic pre-season. Probably the worst we've had in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Im afraid that our team is not good enough to retain the Premier League this season or even reach the final of Champions League. Hope Im wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Im afraid that our team is not good enough to retain the Premier League this season or even reach the final of Champions League. Hope Im wrong.Overreacting much?We've conceded 7 goals in the pre season, 4 of which were mistakes by goalkeepers who probably won't play much this season. Another was conceded whilst playing a defence of 15 year old Chalobah, 17 year old Rohan Ince, Jeffrey Bruma and PvA. Two of the four games were pretty much made up of Chelsea reserve team players. Drogba has had 45 minutes in pre season, Cech 30, Carvalho 70, Benayoun 70, Alex 70, Lampard 100, A.Cole 100 etc etc. That's far more worrying than the results, the lack of minutes in players legs.We didn't actually play too badly tonight. Just two silly mistakes at the end. Anelka's goal should have stood and at 2-0 we'd have probably killed the game off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) We need to stay positive. After all, this is only pre-season, and if anyone is feeling nervous, Manchester City have had a shit pre-season as well, they lost 3-1 today against Dortmund, so we shouldn't worry too much, we need to trust in king Carlo!

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Despite the poor pre season we are rightly regarded as favourites going into the new season and we should look at the positives such as the likes of Kakuta, Matic and Bruma potentially getting more game time next season, that Benayoun appears to have fitted in well, that there are practically none to very few injury concerns going into the new season and now with the news that a fee has been agreed for Ramires and that transfer is imminent I think we have every reason to be optimistic.
