keithsimmonds Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yep much better performance,but still shaky at the back. I still think Dave is better playing at left back than right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgit Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 With Cahill likely to return from illness to partner Ivanovic in the centre of the back four, it looks likely that Mikel and Matic will form the defensive midfield duo with Fabregas further forward in the centre of attacking midfield with Hazard and Willian either side. Those two will need to be on their starting blocks to defend the counter attack by a couple of Tottenham greyhounds on both flanks. Courtois is banned so Begovic continues in goal. I don't like Rahman at left back but Hiddink seems to rate Kenedy even less, so I reckon we're stuck with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently watching the youth cup final against City........some good lads on show..1 nil atm. See Solanke has asked for 50,000 grand a week or he is off.......

Congrats! Thanks BB. Let's hope for the club's sake, that some of these youngsters get their heads down and graft, even if they feel they've been knocked back. If they start sulking, they may as well find another job. I've heard some stories where some of the young'uns, who are either in the first team squad or on the fringes of it, are pushing for pay rises and comparing themselves with Deli Ali and Harry Kane and what they're drawing every week. Money f****** mad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Solanke and he was up against another kid we let go too early, Jeffrey Bruma of PSV . He's definitely got some class but looks a bit dense to me. Not a lot of inclination to drag the centre back around, so was easy to mark. When he got loose though, he caused problems with his pace. Any inside news from Shevva yet?

Money f****** mad. Yeah, well done Chelsea. Apparently, out of the 22 players, 20 of them were home grown which is a credit to both clubs and will hopefully benefit our national team at some point in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reckons Conte is a good appointment..... .as for players in and out.......nothing certain as yet, but on a personnel note he has got me a ticket for Mondays game Sheva is assistant coach for the National team (2 wins out of 2 so far) and is off to the Ukraine for tonight's Europa tie.

oldgit Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 A thunderous game played by both sides on the edge. By including Pedro and Willian on the flanks, Hiddink wanted to deny Walker and Rose offensively but, after going 2-0 down, Hazard had to come on in the second half. He was brilliant, causing all sorts of problems to the Spurs defence. Saying that, I couldn't fault the effort and commitment of any of the team. Where was that at the start of the season, though? I know it was Spurs and the chips were down but THIS was the Chelsea we wanted to see all season, not the pathetic, ponderous rabble pre Hiddink. You could see certain players that have been on the missing list, running into form. When Oscar came on, he put in more tackles in 20 minutes than he had done all season. You could almost say that there is a new role for him at the club, if he stays, as a holding midfield player. He knows how to defend, he's vocal and he's got that touch of class to play the right ball, all he's got to quell is his urge to get forward too much because he hasn't got the pace to get back any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as long as the list of world class players that Rottenham "nearly" signed. And in the last couple of years they "nearly" won the league cup and followed it up by "nearly" winning the league. Next year they might "nearly" sign Messi then "nearly" win the CL. Or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointment for me was seeing at close hand how thuccking lazy Costa can be.......constantly taking himself out of the action by being in an offside position,then when it suits chasing down a nearly lost cause like raving lunatic (he is deranged). Ivan the terrible is just that...terrible, at fault yet again for that 2nd goal, yet laughingly (probably)not seen by the camera,s waving his arms around like a lunatic blaming everyone in front of him,for him not having a decent passing option. It is galling to see a performance like that.....it just shows that we are and were capable of so much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be the way of many on these forums, and I cite a couple of your Spurs buddies and a few Liverpool fans as being the biggest culprits, who like to dish it out...fair enough, but obviously people will return it when they get the chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
