simon23 said:kronkonite said:same old moan from me
do elano and robinho give a fuck ?and why does he persist in playing them
elano was trying all game to make things happen.......this persecution of elano by some on here is absolutely ridiculous........he is being asked to play a loy more defesively than he really should....tackling and tracking back just isnt part of his game....he isnt athletic enough (like essien is)
rohbnio was so isolated all game......he had no chance.........there are others who had little to no affect on the game as well........swp for one, ireland is another.......players have off days but maybe you should look to the fact that we were missing kompany, and de jong.........who provide a stable platform for the other fair players to play........
we were also playing a full strength chelsea team incuding the likes of drogba, essien, ballack terry carvalhio cole........possibly the strongest line up they could field ...........it has taken them time to build that squad.........players like elano and robinho are part of a squad that is a work in progress (and missing 3 parts of that in kompany de jong and bellamy (who would have given terry and carvaliho a lot less time on the ball)
its funny that people who clearly dont want the likes of robinho and elano in the team convineintly miss things like robinho tracking back (even at the start of the second hal).....also the fact that he had taken a knock on the ankle..........or the fact that elano put numerous challenges in before getting subbed even though he was runnign the risk of a second yellow card and being sent off........but people ignore these facts as it doesnt fit their arguement
im not reading all that ive just watched aload of shit
we lost but we werent completely over shadowed.........we do lack in the attacking department (especiallly in the cenrre forward position) to put teams on the back foot......but this will hopefully at some point be addressed

vbr said:Caicedo is raw, but a lone striker against Chelsea he isn't. No support upfront and we were static all over the park. Final ball and passing was dreadful. Don't think one player would have gotten over 6/10 today. Kompany, De Jong and Bellamy were big misses. City looked more like it was a warm up game in training than a competitive match. How Chelsea didn't win by 4 or 5 is a mystery.

The backline did. I've seen far worse against poorer opposition this season.

I'm dissapointed we lost yet another game. But at the end of the day, chelsea had a full-strenthed squad and we had key players missing, it was also at stamford bridge so we didn't really have much of a chance. MOTM for me was Ned, he gave 110% all game, and hasn't done a foot wrong all season. Did anyone else see Elano storm down the tunnel when he was subbed off?

add to that crosses, throw'ins and freekicks!
