The Chelsea Thread

But he affects the overall set up, and not necessarily postively

I don't see how, can easily replace Meireles.

 

[CJACKO11]

Cech, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cahill, Bosingwa, Malouda, Ramires, Meireles, Mata, Sturridge and Drogba.

 

[ChrisBird]

Martin Lipton is also one of the biggest mugs going, ever!!!!

Yep, but he was right unfortunately

Bench : Turnbull, Cole, Essien, Lampard, Mikel, Torres

 

[CJACKO11]

Yep, but he was right unfortunately

Is this going to be a 4-diamond-2?? Meireles holding, Malouda left, Ramires right and Mata in behind Drogba and Sturridge?

 

[Subtle]

Sounds more like an aggressive 4-2-3-1 with Meireles and Ramires in the pivot.

 

[Subtle]

MAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAA

 

[Jak]

1-0 against the run of play?

 

[ajt09]

Beautiful finish for that goal. Cool as a cucumber

 

[Subtle]

Lavezzi curls a beautiful shot past Cech. 1-1Fuck knows what Meireles was doing, he's really not good enough to play without a DM or an Essien beside him.

 

[ajt09]

How can you defend against that quality of play? Wow.

 

[Subtle]

By picking Cavani up instead of letting him stroll through the channel? Not taking anything away from Napoli but all 3 goals have come with big defensive mistakes.

 

[cfc12345]

Pathetic defending again and also Meireles very average once more he needs to come off as soon as

 

[Subtle]

Meireles off, Essien on imo

 

[satanasangel]

Cahill really looks like he is well out of his depth, have never really understood all of the hype that surrounds him. Might sound harsh as Napoli's movement has been frightening at times. But he doesn't close things down, struggles to judge players movement and just looks like he is out of his comfort zone.

 

[Subtle]

******* appalling defending

 

[Aannddyy]

It kind of looked like AVB was holding down Y for that goal.. Cech was in no mans lad. 3-1

[Also, Luiz is shocking]

 

[rephlex]

Luiz is shocking? Cahill is shocking? Meri is shocking? Come on, they don't spend a combined 50m+ on those three players in the last two seasons as they are ****, they just don't seem to understand their role in the system, and badly needed Essien at the start as the Napoli runners were unchecked or unmarked for the first two goals.

Sturridge, Drogba, Lampard, Mata.. they really do need to start playing and bang a goal in.

 

[Subtle]

I've been reduced to liking Gary Neville. A truly terrible night...

 

[GodCubed]

Sturridge, Drogba, Lampard, Mata.. they really do need to start playing and bang a goal in.

You're going to criticise the attack (particularly Juan Mata)? Why? When you've got a defence this shoddy, it'll have to be an attack on par with Pearl Harbor to win you matches.

 

[Mike.]

So many personal errors.

Commentators going on about selection. Errors game from players expected to start so that goes out the window. So many errors.
