Don't forget Salah... he seems so refrain to go forward... maybe it's Mou's advice for him to keep the ball.... but when he dribbles... OMG... he's like a rocket... from the middle dribbles until the penalty box.... he should have finish his own moves... but instead pass and lost the ball... I like to see more of Mohammad Salah's speedy display... I think Terry lacks concentration.... same goes for Cahill... always seems to mark the wrong person.... but Ivanovic is playing more attacking role these days... maybe to keep his place as the starting RB... have to show more attacking flare... but he leave a big gap all the time... lucky that Nathan Dyer didn't attack from the left... if not, it'll cause a lot of trouble...
Yup, that means next season get pogba then we are perfect I see. must check it out in the future.
do we really need Pogba? I think for the moment with Rami and Mikel as backup we are gooding.... if Pogba comes, someone will have to give way... interesting to see how much is Hazard's new deal gonna worth... am sure he will demand higher wages... Real is keen to grab him coming transfer... maybe as early as January... but the problem with Real Madrid now is not offense... it's their defense that is lacking... Ramos is poor this few games.... they should buy defensive players... not attacking players....
Fabregas miss the chance, lost the ball and Schalke scored but he did scored for us.
Hazard blasted the ball over the bar.
Drogba missed the goal with inches manggg.
And Remy shot was blocked off the line by Schalke defender.
At least we have 4 clear cut chances and we failed to capitalize on that.
this is why we only get 1 point instead of 3... wasted so many opportunity on this morning's game... was happy Drogba can start... but clearly age caught up with him... as he couldn't hold the ball that steady anymore... Remy nearly score on his first touch... and our team wasted too many chances. Luis's cross is accurate and awesome... if playing attacking style put Luis in.... if more on defensive use Dave (Azpi).... But the middle is where we leak away the chances.... Cesc not tracking back... that is why Mou have Rami in there.... but after a while Rami didn't cover well... and is it just me that think Matic had a poor game this morning? the way he lunges on the ball all the time reminds me of David Luiz.... Willian only show some flare in the first half of the first half... after that disappear from the scene... Iva always attack minded... left big gap on the right.... Cesc needs to protect the ball better.... Schalke's speedy counter is awesome with Draxler leading the way.

Such a hot prospect... only 20 years old... I wonder why no club wants to sign him? his display this morning only outshone by our very own number 10...
i based on his performance since day 1 burnley till now.. if u watch replay, opponents mid range shoot that missed, he was fail to save from that kinda position.. his reflexes is better than cech but he kinda lack of something.. maybe experience on bpl stages.. in 6 yard box with a low shoot can easily kill courtA.. cech can make the difference but still better than joe hart & de gea..
Give the kiddo some time to adapt... he did pulled off some impressive 1 on 1 save, no? I know Cech is frustrated... but this morning's game is kinda important, since Cech didn't have much game time, I think that is the reason why Mou still trusts Courtouis... if we are up against a lesser team, I think Mou will field Cech so that he can gain match fitness and confidence.... don't worry. Cech is OK with this... he is a team player... and Courtouis is the future.
Is it just me or Matic seems to enjoy more and more pushing forward. B4 diz, he mcm gud pivot player, coz he choose the right time to go forward and right time to stay back and defend. But yday's match, at some point I rmb seeing Matic in the opposition half trying to win the ball. Isn't that like too advance for the pivot player? With Ram and Fab oso like going forward, Matic nids to be more disciplined. But nowadays, Matic oso like to join the attack. He was caught out of position for a few times this morning.
Would partnering Mikel and Matic be a better pivot combination? Mikel can totally sit deep and defend. Matic can run with the ball.
yup... i saw the problem as well... that's why we need another player like Mikel to hold the line....
told u guys chelsea def set pieces is like shit.. mourinho biggest weakness! since de gea already like this but JM make it more worst.. stupid zonal marking & the offside trap line.. straight away 1-1 man marking during set pieces.. as long opponent harass chelsea GK sure GG! chelsea will win this match 3-1
De Gea? what's he got to do with us? defense still leak goals.... didn't watch the game... searching for highlights now
rooney last night straight red ah? if straight mean no rooney vs us. possibly mata reunion.
pity him, runaway from chelsea to play 1st team football. end up become bench player at utd.
he should have known that from the moment he signed for United... United already have a number 10 there... now, with the new players coming in, I dun think Mata will have much game time. looks like he will be warming the bench once again.
that notion has passed a long time ago since drogba has aged gracefully
Dorgba still tears the arsenal defence apart during Emirates Cup last year... that time Drogba is with Galatasaray.... So, I dun think it is a problem for Drog... he may well score his first goal in his return against Arsenal...
I don't know why, but I have a feeling that Schurlle plays well as a sub but not as a starter.... he gives me so many heart attack moment because he was beaten by the attacker easily... the opponent just dribble past Schurlle as if he isn't there.... but when he came on as a sub, he always scores... maybe he is suitable to be a super sub.... just my humble opinion...
I think we had a poor game this morning... it was lucky to get away with 3 points... we gave away many chances and create our own problems while defending... Luis nearly got send off... lucky the ref saw nothing wrong with it.... but to me, that is a bookable offence... lucky nothing's given... Fabregas is nowhere to be seen.... only contribute to the goal through the corner kick...
Finishing is rusty for all.... anyway, happy with the 3 points... but not happy with the way we play football now...
shirley can actually play starter (remember when he scored his hattrick?). He just need game time to keep his mind to perform at the highest level.
that was back when we dun have a powerful striker up front... now that Costa is stamping his authority in front, Schurlle looks clueless... But cannot deny his work rate... he is one hardworking player.... Shirley oh shirley...
also rather Ramires start to hold off Arsenal first half.. unfortunately, Ram still groin injury.
is it? Rami is injured? Damn... then Mikel might do the job... if we have two holding midfield will allow Cesc to unleash his imagination upon Arsenal's defence...
the game against Arsenal is a simple fact that the team that defends better won. Our team's defending had been absolutely top class... Oscar, Iva, Cahill, Dave, Matic and even Cesc and Costa do their defending well.... they don't give chances for the opponent to look up and pick a pass... our players simply close down on the player with the ball immediately when they have the ball... this is the best football tactics ever.... even when u have a player like Messi or Ronaldo, this is how to play against them... don't give them time to react... force them to react... it's no wonder why there is non of the shots on target... because our player simply won't give an inch away.... I like the defensive play so much... so much discipline in closing the opponents... really imba... when the defending is solid, the attack will take shape...
but the first goal is pure Hazard's effort... he should be applauded for such a great run... even the penalty also no look shot... what a classy penalty is that... one of the best....
the second goal is pure genius from Cesc and exquisite touch from Costa.... I admitted that I was not looking forward to him in the beginning of the season because his style is almost similar as Torres... but boy how wrong I am (I am glad Mou proved us wrong).... 9 goals now... superb.... I think we are ready to take the crown back to Stamford Bridge... not only the BPL... we want the Europe's most prestigious price as well.
