Wow, United defense was a bit of a mess there. Haven't exactly played well, but whatever. 2-0 should be enough, but I remember being 3-0 up under AVB...(I think).

 

[Kikarian]

Absolutely shocking defending.

 

[Don't Laugh]

etoooooooooo woohoo

 

[Perfect Blue]

LOOOOOOOOOL ETO'O!!!

 

[tri_willy]

kagawa pls

 

[KidA Seven]

This team is shit.

 

[Scum]

Lolerpool

Wait WHAT??

lol

 

[bud]

 

[L1NETT]

Fucking textbook Mou this.

Vintage. Didn't need Mata.

 

[Lambda Pie]

shame it's not Mou's mentality, but Chelsea could easily score 5 or 6 vs United.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Yep...just not good enough.

Our defense is really really poor this season. A problem which isn't getting much mention but it's just basics which we get wrong at the back.

If Mourinho goes for it second half we could get badly beaten here.

 

[Portugeezer]

Meh, that is football. Chelsea somehow winning.

 

[Fergie]

Eto'o getting his first prem brace against us.

Typical. Records and all.

 

[Hixx]

Fixed

Mannone is great, since he replaced Westwood he is one of the form keepers in the league.

 

[Clegg]

Having ward that first half I don't think Chelsea have been any better than United. They're just so much more clinical than us.

It's not like we're even playing badly.

 

[Fry]

So... we're still within a chance of top 4.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Lolerpool

Wait WHAT??

We're fucking taking you down in the EL next year

 

[WJD]

Only thing that will save this now is if someone knocks the fuck out of Luiz.

 

[pulga]

yup, looks like the battle for seventh place will be as hot as ever. when does Newcastle play again?

 

[Lambda Pie]

This team is shit.

 

[Perfect Blue]

Today's average performance aside, how's Willian been doing for Chelsea? Don't see Chelsea fans here talk much about him.

The last few games he has been fantastic. He melds really damn well with Hazard and Oscar. We'll see at the end of the season if he was worth the amount we paid for him.

 

[Kikarian]

The thing that's the most frustrating is that we've not been that bad. It's just that we haven't got a goalscorer on the pitch.

 

[Vivalaraza]

We are playing badly.

We are creating nothing. Nobody is getting in the box. The midfield isn't pressing nor supporting in attack. The fullbacks are being got in behind. We aren't picking up men in the box.

Yeah we are knocking it about forwards and back and side to side. That's it.

 

[DC R1D3R]

So... we're still within a chance of top 40.

yep.

 

[dalVlatko]

We've been awful but lead 2-0. Love it.

Now please put Matic in for Luiz so my heart doesn't stop every time he goes for a ball

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Only thing that will save this now is if someone knocks the fuck out of Luiz.

Make it so

 

[Yurt]

Yep...just not good enough.

Our defense is really really poor this season. A problem which isn't getting much mention but it's just basics which we get wrong at the back.

If Mourinho goes for it second half we could get badly beaten here.

Your fullbacks are both utter shit and Chelsea's whole XI is made of wingers and playmakers capable of drifting wide.

 

[tri_willy]

yurt pls.

 

[GQman2121]

Today's average performance aside, how's Willian been doing for Chelsea? Don't see Chelsea fans here talk much about him.

Not having a standout game here, but working hard and in the mix. He's been very good over the holiday though. I think he's played himself into the starting lineup with Oscar, Ramires and Hazard because he's consistently moving and after the ball.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

We look super-vulnerable on the counter-attack and isolated up front without that third man dropping back into midfield. This is going to be a long game.

 

[Fergie]

This team just loses the intensity so quickly it's a bit of a disgrace.

Any bit of pressure, back to Valencia banging in drilled crosses. Including Young taking set-pieces. Nothing has changed.

 

[Barzul]

 

[WJD]

Make it so

I'd take 10th place just to see that happen.

 

[Vinegar Joe]

Having ward that first half I don't think Chelsea have been any better than United. They're just so much more clinical than us.

It's not like we're even playing badly.

Yeah, Chelsea have been average at best.

United have been poor in defence though, and the second goal in particular was a gift.

 

[Tc91]

Game. Set. Match.

Not good enough, team is absolute shite.

 

[tri_willy]

This team is shit.

got shitter with young around

 

[Superman]

No chance of top 4 with our defending at the moment. No chance.

 

[Lambda Pie]

The thing that's the most frustrating is that we've not been that bad. It's just that we haven't got a goalscorer on the pitch.

neither have Chelsea, they have to rely on Eto.

 

[Salazar]

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Looks about 15 years older than he did in May

 

[K1LLER7]

Really missing RVP and Rooney in this game.
Terrible at the back, wingers cant beat the first man, welbeck ugh.

Adnan the only plus point. Everything positive going through him.

Jones and Young off. Fletcher and Kagawa on.

 

[Batigol]

shame it's not Mou's mentality, but Chelsea could easily score 5 or 6 vs United.

They really could, but he'll sit on this lead now like he always does

 

[Fry]

Wow.

 

[Mr Cola]

The thing that's the most frustrating is that we've not been that bad. It's just that we haven't got a goalscorer on the pitch.

Im not watching but I assume Wellbeck, a man paid to score, a premier league striker for the reigning champions, cannot hit a ball between the posts to save his life.

 

[Walshy]

Dead

 

[Vivalaraza]

This team just loses the intensity so quickly it's a bit of a disgrace.

Look at the second goal.

3 defenders standing still in the box, Eto'o beyond them hungry for a goal.

It's a worrying snapshot.

Edit - Ha, Sal said it better.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

When a player gets a clear shot from 10 yards or less without a player within 2 yards of him, something has gone terribly wrong

 

[WJD]

Serious talk though, starting Jones was ridiculously stupid.

 

[Tc91]

Really missing RVP and Rooney in this game.
Terrible at the back, wingers cant beat the first man, welbeck ugh.

Adnan the only plus point. Everything positive going through him.

Jones and Young off. Fletcher and Kagawa on.

He's the plus point in every game. Actually sad relying on a 18 year old.

Yes please. Probably going to be too little too late now though.
