Chelsea (a) post match thread

Kompany playing 90 minutes and playing well.

Delph and Vinny. There's two for you.

we lost they obviously didn't play that great

Too many calling out the manager on here tonight.

At least he has finally decided to start showing his disgust at the officials. He was having a right old paddy on the touchline in the second half.

 

[Sunny Coast Blue]

Dare I say we need someone like Lampard to get in the box and do something different.

Too many pretty players happy to sit outside the box trying to create rather than someone driving into the box.

Dino is the man but we have him doing the dirty work unfortunately.
I would prefer him arriving in the box than most of the front 5 all day long. Misusing him to keep others happy.

for me the most frustrating player on the pitch is clichy who get a nose bleed everytime he thinks about trying to get to the bye line.

Followed by Navas who`d had his best game against Arsenal

Clichy has never been great but this season he's deteriorated alarmingly

Really?? We had plenty of chances. Unfortunately going 2-1 down meant Chelsea could just defend. If we'd taken just a couple of chances we'd have won it.

Name one great save their keeper made

You're kidding yourself. Tonight was men against boys. A bunch of fancy Dan's from Manchester full of nice players but little heart vs a bunch of well drilled, deadly serious men, each of who knew exactly what his job was.

They are the same heartless and cynical bunch that didn't need too much adapting, and were woeful, or worse than what we had been, last season (barring the signings of Kante, Luiz and Alonso).

The only plus Kompany playing the full game get him on the pitch playing and we will finish in the top 3 I hope. We got 3 hard games in the row out of the way Hull at home is a must win.
Kun is scoring regular again which is good. The guy will be about next season at the club as he will always give us 20 plus goals a year. Kompany if he is injury free will also be part of Peps plans if he gets a run in the team from now to the end of the season.

We know what we need. 2 full backs a replacement for Yaya and Fernandhino there the 4 major things we need. Also we need to be lucky in the the injuries to important players at the time. This season we have been hit hard to players who were just coming good in the team in Jesus and Gundogan that has hampered us this season.

has been a pretty poor season, yet we've played some fantastic football and witnessed some great games. the fact of the matter is, we concede far too many goals and dont put away nearly as many chances as we should

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Fantastic, because it's obviously an inevitably that the bigger picture will be sky blue. We haven't looked like solving our problems on the pitch for 3 years now.

And the cycle of how our season has gone, isn't inaccurate considering all those things have regularly happened and instead of a title race, were locked in a battle for 4th for the 2nd season running.

Jesus christ have you actually read what you are saying. We have a manager in place, the most coveted manager in world football. We have an ageing team that we have known about especially at the back since Mancini left and you think that this lies at the feet of Pep ?

This season regardless of what some might have thought after the first ten games was never going to be easy, we as a team could not replace all the players needed in one transfer window. Pep will be backed this summer with the players he needs, yes it should have been done long before but the club didnt see it that way. Every team goes through a lull period, this is ours and compared to what us City fans have been used to in the old days this is nothing.

Conte at chelsea has had time on his hands, no european football to bother with. Just training day in day out with games at the weekend, enough time bar none to instill his ideas

2 points from a possible 18 against the rest of the top 4 teams says it all
