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

[Flapper]

Quite simply, they don't commit everyone forward including the keeper for a corner in the last minute of stoppage time at 2-2. A point away at Chelsea would have been more than expected and they would have set up in that situation a lot differently.

The last goal from that doesn't support your argument.

Pretty much. We wouldn't have brought Feds forward to go for the win and risk the one point we already had. To go behind like that just sucks.

drawing the long bow about your theory as well, not exactly air tight

True

But you were probably lucky to be in front from your second in the first place, given that you'd expect Cech to save a shot like that 99 times out of 100

Good showing from Reading though, if they keep playing like that they'll do pretty well

 

[Mong]

The reading keeper evened things up for goal keeping errors giving away goals.

No luck about it for Reading, they were clearly unlucky.

^^^^^

Federici.... Australia's 'next in line'?

 

[Mong]

That's two games in a row as well.

 

[Jimbo]

F*ck, that was horrible

Work to do...

 

[Mong]

Won any trophies yet?

 

[Jimbo]

The draw for the club world cup has been made. Chelsea will face either Monterrey or the AFC Champions League winners in the semis

So it'll be a team from Mexico, Saudi Arabia, China, Iran, Uzbekistan, South Korea or Adelaide...

 

[Haffa]

Looking forward to watching Mata, Oscar, Hazard and co tearing apart the real scum on saturday.

I can't wait to hear the Champions League chants in full chorus.

Disappointing

But while one win in five games might be good enough at clubs like West Ham, it's not good enough at Chelsea

The club will always be grateful to Robbie for winning our first Champions League though

Hopefully Benitez has learned a thing or two from his Liverpool and Inter experience, but he will be judged on his results like his predecessors

:lol::lol::lol:

How did you go against West Ham again?
Oh, by the way, which team is currently on equal points with yours despite having a much weaker roster?

 

[Tommy Smith]

Actually id take Spurs roster atm. Purely because you have an in-form striker whereas Chelski don't even have a single legitimate striker to call upon atm.

They could do with young Romelu Lukaku, remember him? The young lad has quality and at the very least could hold the ball up well for the triumvate behind him to play off. Torres can't even do that.

 

[Twizzle]

wonder how long rafa is gonna last

is there a rule on how many managers you can go through in one year ?
