Chelsea Thread 16/17

[Stoned Rose]

"Mate yeah mate"... lets agree to disagree I already said don't bother focusing on just the scoreline we were the better team and we lost that's it(neutrals don't agree with you either, you just sound like the chavs did after the game). You are entitled to your misguided opinions anyway but I'll say again, I don't agree with you!

Slow our long term progress for the sake of one season by winning ugly and throwing the plan out of the window? No thanks, there was always going to be a transition period, you just don't get it and I think it's embarrassing how quickly some have let themselves become so impatient or worse still entitled like the fans they used to deride for those very traits not so long ago. We are going to play out from the back and teams are going to try and press us into making mistakes whether you like it or not(and I'm so happy the people in your camp are not making the decisions). I know some can't help the gasping and screaming("oh my goodness!!") at a few backpasses but the sooner people get used to it and stop flapping the sooner the uneasy atmosphere it creates stops affecting the players from the stands.

Firstly you're making an awful lot of assumptions about me and you're wrong about all of them. That just makes you look even more silly than you already do.

Secondly you're claiming you know what all 'neutrals' are thinking?. That also just makes you look even more silly than you already do

The league table, after 18 games and a home defeat to them, does not lie. They are currently better than us. Your failure to grasp that is clearly beyond both of our comprehensions so yes let's just agree to disagree.

Bollocks they do... have we got a chav invasion on here recently? Chelsea stumbled upon something that works there's no long term plan and it can easily come unstuck IMO(I agree you're favourites but you don't have the CL... we are not going to stop the Leicester comparison because it holds a lot of weight). You may prefer that style of play but the rest of the world doesn't, there isn't a team in the Prem that could have beat Barca the way we beat them, we try and play the same way no matter who the opposition that's what the best teams have... a football identity. As for goals, that's just the thing, if we were half as clinical as Chelsea have been we'd have smashed them 4-0 that day, our chances to goals ratio is much worse we are creating a lot more great chances than people are giving credit for(quickly forgotten when a people look back on a scoreline).

We have a long term plan, we are in a period of transition and may need to replace a few players before you see Pep's style implemented fully but we'll get there and I think we're set for a much stronger second half of the season because they are all slowly getting more used to it so don't write us off either.

The gift that keeps on giving.

Chelsea stumbled upon something that works

What? scoring more and conceding less than their opponents in most of their games by being very good at both attacking and defending?

The lucky bastards. I wonder why the rest of the league haven't thought of that?

You don't even want to know how silly you look mate. You're just going round in circles with the same argument getting nowhere, like watching a dog chase it's tail... very amusing. :) They are more consistent than us they are not "better" than us, when we are on song we are the better side(there's so much more to come as well even with the current setup... add in some much needed replacements come the summer, forget about it)... also Leicester City says hello lets not pretend the CL distractions argument doesn't exist.

What so this 3 at the back that transformed their season wasn't a gameplan they stumbled on during the Arsenal match? I don't think there was anything outlandish about that statement personally. Also posture all you like you're only fooling yourself. ;)

Of course they took full advantage (hence the current 7 point gap) but Chelsea rode their luck in the game at the Etihad. We might not be streets ahead of Chelsea, our any of our rivals but they are not better than us by a long chalk. A huge slice of luck and there is no turning back.

LOL, you are acting like Conte is a fool, who only got lucky to get where he is at. STUMBLED onto a back 3. REALLY?! Conte was well known to have used a back 3 for most of his carreer, he took a Juve team that had finished 7th on the previous season, and turned them into the team they are today, you are so biased its not even funny

 

[lucashm]

Yeah I'll let you have that one chance if you let us have those two penalty shouts then along with the actual open goal De Bruyne missed and Aguero not spotting the defender after actually beating your keeper without leaving an impossible angle. So 5-2 deal?

you dont have to let me have anything lol, we already have exactly what we needed a 3-1 away win against you lot and a 7 point lead against you despite your ( unrealistics) claims of blind superiority.

I'm biased???... "Aguero bumped into Luiz and played for a free kick with tons of space in behind". Haha you couldn't make it up.

So Conte just kept this in his locker during the start of the season? That's what you're going with?

Thanks to a lot of luck, a bent/incompetent ref and a very wasteful City team who should have put the game to bed despite all that... yeah you won the game.

He was figuring out the team, just like the "genious" Pep Guardiola is doing now, except that Conte took way less time than him to figure things out, he put in Azpilicueta as the RCB( something that nobody thought of before) and he actually became THE best Cb on the PL,managed to transform Luiz into a rock solid CB, managed to find a position that makes Moses looks so good, that he has Barcelona watching him, and yet, you claim that he STUMBLED on a formation during the Arsenal game.Ridiculous.He having far better results AND performances than you lot, but i guess that someone as biased and blind as you are can only come up with bulshit like Conte stumbled on a formation that has Chelsea on a club record winning run of 12 wins in a row, and playing a football that is easy on the eye at the same time,while beating United 4-0 and City at the etihad 1-3.
