Chelsea F.C. II: Return of the Special One

[Haffa]

lol That's what you see in it?

I'd be more worried about being 10 points back.

In the pic, no. That just confirmed it. I did watch the game live though and saw it there.
Were your not watching?


I could go into details about why you are wrong in your second sentence but this is the Chelsea thread so I won't.

What do you think about Jose failing to get the job done again?
It is a trend for him at the moment.
Blew the league and champs league last year.

He has to win the league this year you'd think.

 

[Haffa]

Haha, What job did he fail to get done? We are unbeaten in all competitions for the season.

6 points clear no losses, 2 draws away from home, already played City, Arsenal, Everton and United.

I was I thought it was a clear foul on both Chelsea players.

Last year he should have won the league but blew it.
Away in the champs league semi he played for nil -nil and then blew the home leg completely.

This year he has been to Manchester twice, been in the lead twice, and changed tactics which led to conceding late goals.

When the going gets tough, Jose just can't keep his cool. It has cost him 4 points already.

Its why you only won the champs league after he left.

Well you thought wrong. Simple.

Terry just walked forward shoving Rojo out of the way to let the ball go behind him. A clear foul. You can tell by his reaction. If Terry thinks he is fouled he chases after refs getting all angry with life. In this case he half heartedly put his arms up as he knew exactly what he was doing.

So just play on. Both teams jostled at every free kick and corner in the game.

:lol:

Man United nick a last-minute point at home and wirey thinks they're right back in it

He's giving Bunnies a run for his money this morning

We lacked the ticker and a striker last season. The CL we were outplayed by a better team.

The only 4 points dropped though, right, what doesn't that say about everyone else?

Dropped 4 points all season and suddenly we are in a crisis. :lol:

Extended our lead at the top too...

 

[saint.nick]

I would say that Ivanovic's red card was a more likely cause of United's goal than a change of tactics. Change of tactics or not, Chelsea had to completely get behind the ball and invite United in their own half because of Ivanovic anyway.

Do I? Or are you making things up?

You have only been tested twice this year. Both times in Manchester and both times Jose failed to keep his nerve.

It says plenty about what happens when the going gets tough.

 

[Jimbo]

Does a second yellow get a three game ban or is that just for a straight red?

Assuming league cup games count, Dave has two games to go. Fortunately they're against Shrewsbury and QPR, so he'll be back for the trip to Anfield...

You know he was sent of in the last min?

Taking of Oscar and replacing him with Mikel made it so easy for United to press.
Fabregas pressing forward meant he could climb out of Fellainis pocket and crawl into Blinds. This freed up Fellaini to become an extra target for Rvp and Wilson to play off.

Jose played for a 1-0 win but made it possible for United to get a draw as he couldn't help himself. Keep Oscar on, or replace him with Schurle and Chelsea contain enough threat to stay on top like they were right up until the point he made the sub.

 

[Jimbo]

Do I? Or are you making things up?

If you thought you were clearly better than the team leading the league by six points, you'd have to think you're a show of at least Europa, wouldn't you?

Maybe you should wait see how you fare next weekend before you get too carried away...

But United didn't ultimately score from a change of tactic, they score from a set piece out wide. Jose's tactic seemed to be working enough because United weren't getting a goal out of it. You scored because you got a free kick, Chelsea had a red card, they got everyone into the box to defend, and then RVP scored from a loose ball.

Bran will only miss Shrewsbury. Dave back for Anfield but is a certain starter against Maribor.

Arsenal and Everton away?

You could look at it that way, or you could say we were tested away from home against quality opposition and still picked up a point. What's that say about the home teams though?

Thought so. Zouma probably in at RB for the Shrewsbury game then

Not sure how much defending Dave will have to do against Maribor, but it'll be good for him to have a run three days before the Liverpool game

Yeah, I a youth heavy team to be played vs Shrewsbury. Jt is due a break.

 

[saint.nick]

ffs that Anfield game is not far away enough.

less than 2 weeks. You're in Madrid the week prior too right?
