GingerCollins29 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 So, beating the worst team in the league last weekend hasn't suddenly fixed the issues we've had for 2 months of dreadful performances. Who knew? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we've been poor but seriously sometimes, **** this site. It's all due. We are shite, an generally have much more than this. Chelsea get battered by everyone, even Wolves. We are struggling our knackers off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like the second goal; we were too lackadaisical and slow and our full backs greatly exposed. It’s been a very poor half from many, especially the midfield. Yeah we were too open and attack minded, as we're Chelsea. Was end to end and they got the goals first. It's not a game we'd see in the PL. Anyway, hopefully we perform in second half. I'd like to go out tonight though, so a 2&1 loss and us dominating second half will be fine. We don't have the squad depth for these number of games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hopefully we get rid of whatever is in the water tonight ahead of United. We are better than this. Too many mistakes today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Well that was fun. I didn’t think we could possibly play worse than against Newcastle but what do I know! Only way is up, that’s for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team are playing within themselves tonight, 5 great minutes then mentality collapses. We chose to spend funds on kids, we could have signed a first team player. None of us know the actual FFP situation either it was rumour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 One plus I take from these kind of games. Emery looks pissed, a few players will find themselves shipped out this summer if the play like this regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted February 7 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7 There is no way in this world we are getting back into this. Save the energy and make all subs now. Luiz, McGinn, Moreno, Cash, Kamara. All off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcifer Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Well that was a half of football! Play like this Sunday and it will be a hammering and it will take a week to clean the sky studios! Cash and Bailey doesn't work does it. May as well play with 10 men. Midfield playing like slippy G is back... What can we change? We don't really have the players to change it!

maltesemike Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 1 minute ago, allani said: It's the same line-up at the team that played great at the weekend. The problem is that we are playing our 4th and 5th choice centre backs - who look like fourth and fifth choice centre backs. McGinn and Tielemans have disappeared and so the only midfielder Chelsea have to worry about is Luiz - so they are crowding him out of the game. Ollie has barely broken into a sweat and is waiting for the ball rather than trying to make the runs he did at the weekend. We're static all over the park - I don't see how you can pin that on Emery. He's not told the players to stand still like statues (at both ends of the pitch). But we were playing against a woeful Sheffield Utd. This set up has been shakey for us in the last 10 games and I would have thought there would be some sort of plan B. What that is I have no clue, I'm no football manager, so maybe I'm being naive. But I agree, our back up centre backs are just not up to it are they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Cash has been awful and Moreno even worse. Not one player performed in that first - half, and that is totally inexcusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 That back 4 is a major worry. Losing Konsa as Pau was returning is a big issue. Just got to hope Pau gets match sharp quickly and Konsa recovers quickly. Otherwise, we won’t make top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allani Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 2 minutes ago, Awol said: No need to be narky, is there? The problem is in midfield and defence not up front, I didn’t say we had millions of options to fix it. Fact is these players are much better than they’ve just shown. If we can’t bring in better options then Emery needs to sort this nonsense out instead for the second half. The attackers have to hold their hands up too. Ollie's hardly made any runs in that first half - every time we have the ball he's stood next to the CB. Bailey's dropped back to try and get involved rather than pestering their back line. When the service is struggling you need to do more to try and create a chance - they (and Tielemans) have vanished. The whole team are playing too passively and are too static. Maybe they are focussed on the weekend's match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisvilla4 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Quick goal and its game on. Tbh, I'm not sure how bothered I am, would rather buck up in the league. Just don't embarrass us pls Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshie2000 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Tonight is resembling the newcastle game, they walked through our midfield and tonight it's none existent, emery needs to have a plan B as any decent team has worked out how to stop our plan A. I'd love to see a fight back 2nd half, but just can't see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Not sure who’s had the worst first half, the players or the fans ? Who is supposed to get who going ? In my opinion both have been utter crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
