Fact is, we had more than 15 shots on goal. That is a very attacking statistic..
Dont know why we hate back pass so much. Play enough football and you'll know sometimes back pass is the best way to open space as it forces the player pressing to decide who to pressure now.
I agree that back passes is essential in opening up spaces BUT the problem with chelsea is that we pass the ball very very slow. So, what is the problem with slow passes? This will allow opposition players to go back to their defensive position and thus forcing us to start the whole back pass process again. 2nd thing that forced us to do this thing again and again or forcing some players to go for glory themselves is that our attacking player are so stagnant. They rather WAIT for the ball rather than move into the spaces left by opposition player.

Good football ? i really dont see it, attacking wise from start till now is pretty clueless, but at least in the beginning we see AVB apply his idea of high defense line and fast pressing. Now we sit back like a relegation team, inviting lesser team to attack even at home as if we are the relegation team that happy with 1 point, then last minute attacking like crazy. But then even defending with so many numbers we dont defend well either. I dont see the problem of back pass then get forward, u want to get as many player forward and help open space for striker, some even complain LAMPARD going into the box but which is actually a good move. U will want at least 2 player in the box providing more option. What can TORRES do alone in the box mark by 2 CB ? In fact now we only have TORRES working in the box, MATA are more suitable at the center or wing where he need space to do passing. MATA inside the box will not be effective. If midfield dont go into box then we will have 5 midfield MATA, LAMPARD, MEIRELES, RAMIRES, ROMEU outside and a TORRES inside surrounded by player because they have no one else to mark other than him. Most team will only need 2 midfield outside providing support and get the rebound.
Hope STURRIDGE will back in the team soon, although he is quite selfish sometimes but is up to the manager to tell him that unless AVB himself does not see a problem there.
Selfish or not, perform or not, STURRIDGE and LAMPARD is the player AVB want to put in the team, simply because they score goal. TORRES can be invisible for 89min for all match but if he can score in that 1 minute then you will want to put in on the field.
Personally, I don't like the bolded statement. That is why I don't like it when malouda or kalou scored a goal. Because people will think like this. For me, a moment of brilliance should not be the criteria for you to be selected as the starting XI. I dont mind if this is the case for sturridge because I do believe he is our future. Lampard should be in while his magic lasts.
