Chelsea (a) post match thread

[Dazzle84]

We'll see if sane can become world class as this is how teams will shape up against him at the very top... confident he can do it

As for that lacklustre last 30 minutes, it was more down to pep, KDB struggled, again, throughout. It actually cried out for yaya this, the pace he could of handled as they were happy to sit back!

Sane got plenty in the bank for me, got huge faith in him.
KDB really becoming an issue, along with Fernandinho.
9 possible games of Clichy left.

When was the last time we scored a header from a corner??? Anyone?

Been saying this for years same old shit outswinger from Silva with nothing different just throw it in all from the tactical master Guardiola

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Positives;

Delph, Vinny, restricting them to only 2 goals.

On the downside:

Not clinical in front of goal. Plus the inconsistency of Dean. If I was that inconstant at work I would be disciplined. That cnut will probably get one of the high profile TV games at the weekend.

Nowt to do with pep first off...

Its the same old faces who are slowing the game up(silva), the same striker playing mostly with his head down, same lack of self belief from the established wingers/fullbacks(training must be the same 1 drill over and over), same lack of any kind of ability to nutmeg/wrongfoot etc(other than perhaps sane), same lack of urgency, same lack of anything unpredictable, same lack of willingness to play direct instead of pulling back and moving the ball square again and again...could go on.

Slow, unimaginative, and painfully predictable. The squad needs world class additions that already have a winning mentality. Let me ask a serious question here...which players other than yaya and tevez(long gone) have arrived from top european teams used to dominating week in week out? Really struggling to think of any here...this summer window needs to be the one where a few players(like isco)arrive from best clubs in the world. As adding young kids to the situation(unless of gabriel jesus quality) is not going to help with this mentality situation.

Wont even mention the defense at this point.

Nowt to do with Pep, 30 games in, OK!

Winds me up the way City fans are like "oh that's how it's done look at Chelsea... blah blah Italian"... I don't watch football for good defending or examples of how to squeeze the life out of a game(which they did in that second half) anyone who tells me that can sod off we don't want that shite at City we want fluid attacking brilliance, total domination of ball possession.

Bang on, sack watching that shite week in week out. We will be a far better team next season, just enjoy the ride blues.

 

[pudge]

Go and have a look darling.
It's clear to see that we are lacking two full backs and a centre midfielder at the very least.
We controlled the game today but just lacked players in said positions.
Come back to me next season.

It's like I'm in a time machine.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

ffs

ha ha...it's not often you and I agree on anything but yes...

 

[frothy]

whatever happens clichy should never wear a city shirt again.

in all honesty I don't think pep has a Scooby do about what is required to win a prem game. ok have this season but much much more is expected next season.

Agree with you, just wasted half a days holiday for that

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

We're worse under Guardiola than Pellegrini, and it's more than just "the full backs" or "the keeper" or "KDB is in bad form" or "a transition season". We're just awful.

Difficult to disagree.

I hope he has an idea of who he needs....and we have the funds and the determination to get them

 

[Motty25]

I don't understand why we signed Nolito. The coach clearly does not rate him.

He did earlier in the season. From December onwards something seems to have happened. Whether it be his performance in training or something less football related. Was very effective in the earlier months of the season. Shame as I genuinely think Nolito could earn us maybe just a couple of extra points that might make all the difference.
