Better performance and for once I can see the "logic" behind putting Martial out wide. Ivanovic is struggling. Not sure how CFC can not rate Martial.
Only half time and he's already cleared off. Surely a new record for CFC - London's biggest relegation candidates.
We've played well but it's obvious to see Hiddink has got his tactics spot on. Chelsea are pressing us high up the pitch. All our play is far too reliant on our wingers so he's starved them of space while pushing the likes of Hazard and Pedro forward. The funny thing is, that as a result, our midfielders are in acres of space, waving their arms callng for the ball but bcos we've clearly set up to continuously play the ball out wide, the midfielders are becoming redundant. I would say right now Chelsea look far more tactically better than us but it could still go either way.
I don't think anyone was shocked to be Mou go. You can't blame Chelsea for that. He had lost the whole dressing room from the physio drama. Mourinho has himself, and only himself, to blame for the outcome.
Yep when the players said they're fighting for the manager it seemed like they thought Van Gaal had already gone Surely they'll realise during the HT talk though? Or Van Gaal will hide in the toilets while Giggs gets them up for it?
This is just braindead football instilled by Van Gaal. Just have the wingers keep driving the ball forward into cul-de-sacs, eventually getting dispossessed, while the midfielders are being wasted
