A brace against the minnows and the way he was rabbiting on you'd think he'd permed his hair. The next Keegan methinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgit Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 John Terry hasn't recovered from his injury against Napoli so he won't be available tonight.I hope Luiz comes in to play alongside Ivanovic with Bosingwa at right back.His pace will be needed to counteract City's threat down the flank.It should be an entertaining game as both teams need to win.

I'm going to say we are going to win tonight, there will be goals but I feel with our current form things are picking up and confidence is growing with each game, the question is what will he do with Torres for this game? I would play 4-4-2 with Drog and Torres up front, Danny Sturridge is a great young player with loads of talent but he is so selfish infront of goal when other players are in better positions.....3-2 win for the Chels tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithsimmonds Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Id also like to see Drogba and Torres up front,with Malouda.Mereiles Ramires and Essien behind.

What can i say. Mata is now half the player he was before January! Frank,i don,t like to slagg-off what was one our best players for over 8 years,but Your Times Up(especially in the big games),he is just too slow,recieving the ball tackling passing.He did nothing last night and nothing against Napoli except score the pen.

rixalex Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 What can i say. Mata is now half the player he was before January! What's his story? He looked great when he arrived. Haven't seen him (or Chelsea) play for a while, but last night i did and he seemed pretty off. Is Torres syndrome starting to rub off on the other players?

oldgit Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It was a rearguard action for most of the game, mainly due to a bizarre team selection.If that's John Terry's idea of a team to win the match,he can carry on playing as far as I'm concerned! What was the thinking behind the decision to stick our best midfield player wide right? Ramires best serves the team in the centre of midfield with his surging runs at defences.And an engine room of Lampard,Mereiles and Mikel isn't going to get the pulses racing.So what are we left with? The same old problem,a slow footed,slow witted midfield whose only function was to get run over,during the game,and put the central defence under extreme pressure.Nasri's run for City's winner left Lampard toiling.Luiz and Cahill did extremely well in the circumstances.Bosingwa continues to baffle me.It's about time that someone should have told him that you never,under any circumstances,turn your back on your opponent when he has the ball.But then my old sports master taught me that at school.Mata showed again that he doesn't like to get involved in too many challenges.He looked like he was ready to come off at one stage.Torres struggled manfully up front against Richards and K.Toure but,when he was substituted by Drogba,there was a bit of dissent.Mereiles wasn't overly pleased either.Didn't De Matteo let them know that we've got a million games coming up and he needs all his players fresh?He shouldn't have to really,<deleted> footballers. What of City?Well,they're not the finished article by a long chalk.Their early elimination from the Champions and Europa Leagues tell you that.Joe Hart is a good goalkeeper but he's a chancer.The back four isn't top class and their midfield leaves a lot to be desired.Without the creativity and inventiveness of David Silva,which was missing last night,they are ordinary.What isn't ordinary is their attack.Skill,imagination and pace everywhere giving Mancini an abundance of options.

Seapok Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 I was very disappointed with the game last night, we looked very sluggish, sat back far too deep and wasn't creative at all, Mata was getting bullied by Toure which he didnt like at all, Essien needs to lose about 2 stone get some speed back into his legs, I don't believe I'm saying this but I thought Mikel played ok compared to his usual displays. I was enjoying watching Torres put himself about, he was the only one showing some heart and determination but was on a losing battle against two what could easily pass as cruiser weight boxers. Must win now against Spurs, they haven't beaten us at the Bridge since 1990 in league so need go for the throat with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
