Sky: Ogbonna, Isla & Llorente could all be starting against Verona tomorrow.

I'll cry tears of joy.


and most likely tears of regret after the final whistle.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Sunderland match will be interesting. We've both played some dismal football this season

a poor man's mourinho.

 

[Mr Cola]

im just, im watching Chelsea, and they will very likely win, but I have no idea what their tactics are, and the players seem confused too, so many errant passes, no flow whatsoever.

I almost escaped with the army little heli but had 4 missiles tracking me and I could only dodge 3

 

[H13]

We're woeful.

What's new?

oscar the new chelsea 10

 

[José Mourinho]

We don't look anything like a team. Such garbage.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

So far Chelsea's 6 top passing players are the four defenders and the two DMCs.

 

[Gareth Bale]

It's an amalgafusion word, Bungie. It multiplies meaning.

Are Schalke even trying?

 

[Broder Salsa]

Someone in that defense stop just passively backing away

 

[Showaddy]

What the hell has Mourinho done to Chelsea? They looked better under Di Matteo. I mean they're bound to win this at some point but...

 

[Yurt]

Is Mata the answer?

 

[faridmon]

I think Chelsea is nedding Torres to do something because so far, the strikers haven't done anything. Both Eto'o and Schurrle have been supbar.

 

[Blablurn]

we are not letting them

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Wouldn;t it be awesome if you could hire a co-pilot, hover above where you want, rapel down, complete your objctive and either get back in the helicopter, or have him fly off while you get away another way

Defend and counter based on what Mourinho has been doing for yrs now.

Maybe he doesn't realize there's no Ronaldo to the rescue here.

fixed that for you

 

[Ushojax]

I'm glad Parker is playing well for Fulham. He's not doing his pirouette move so much.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Reithe is secretly Fulham's best player

 

[Clegg]

Really happy with all those results today. They all went the way I'd have wanted them to. Good shit.

They were good results but now we have to capitalize on them.

That's easier said than done.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Eto’o has been just about the only player making some good movement to front.

If he is playing a counter attack game versus a team with a sole Striker dead set on defending then all hope is lost.

That mission was bollocks. I tried to me clever and jump the fence by the mountain in my car, and I got shot to pieces.

Tried driving through the main gate and I left with barely a scratch.

It might as well be.

I almost want to buy the game. Fuckers.

 

[slightconfuse]

Chelsea's passing has been awful

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Is Mata the answer?

Well the answer is not playing two DMCs at home to Fulham. At least Mata can link the play between the front four and the defence. I thought he was the second best player in the league after van Pursestrings last year.

I hope he keeps sitting on the bench and then comes to Juve in the Winter

Wait, it isn't?

He did, but one point against United at old Trafford wasn't bad.

I know. But more is needed. Fulham are happy about soaking up pressure so far.

 

[Suen]

I've seen approaching your penalty box several times now and it's as if they don't give that extra push to break through the defense. Their whole front looks out of sync, no coordination whatsoever.

edit: oh look, they finally tried!

 

[Suen]

Mandzukic you fool, why didn't you pass the ball.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I know. But more is needed. Fulham are happy about soaking up pressure so far.

More is needed but that is from the midfield and wingers.

Roman still looks dead

 

[Ushojax]

Roman hasn't moved for 40 minutes

Yeah. I drove all the way round thinking there must be something more than having to drive through the main gate, but nope.

 

[faridmon]

Hazard should have shot it directly.
Yeah, this looks like Chelsea's game.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

HAHA he looks like he just figured out how he can he spend all this money on attacking players and they cant score goals.

Spoiler

he realised Jose is the manager again

 

[sneaky77]

other than the one from etoo at the beginning did Chelsea create any other clear chances?

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

:lol:lol

 

[justjohn]

Im afraid this is not working.

 

[GQman2121]

We are shit. That's what's wrong with us. Everyone looks lazy and old.

Eto'o isn't receiving many balls and I doubt Torres would change much

 

[Suen]

:lol so bad Schalke. Players not understanding each other up front, in comparison Bayern is calm, has a good cordination and also gives away very little opportunities to them.

Schalke L0L4

The one they ping ponged around the penalty area was a good one.

 

[ShogunX]

To think Chelsea fans were begging for this kind of football to return to their club. Come home Jose!

Still fully expect Chelsea to win.

 

[Blablurn]

BAAAAAAAAAAAAYEEEEEERN

 

[Steverulez]

Im afraid this is not working.

Its incredibly abject. I don't understand it. Why is Torres not playing? Eto'o does look livelier but half of them (Hazard, Rami, Mikel) haven't come back from summer holidays.

Mikel is just terrible. Seriously, he just adds nothing. Why not put Essien in there? I have no idea if he'd be worse but I doubt thats possible.

The problem is the formation is shit. Jose was trying out 4-3-3 in the preseason friendlies. It has to happen even if it means sacrificing Oscar who has played well. Schurrle, Willian, KdB or Mata, whoever you fancy on the other wing to Hazard.
