Match Day Thread Chelsea v Newcastle United

couldn't see us getting away with it though

 

Gayle putting in a good shift.

 

Ah well we were guna lose anyway. Tactics were right but we just don't have the defence no matter what Rafa does.
Chelsea know to just cross like ****. Keep it down to 2-1, regroup second half, who knows we might get another before the eventual onslaught

 

There's been some spectacular efforts to give the ball away by our lot. Diame, Perez, Murphy and Manquillo immediately spring to mind.

 

Hazard has definitely been practicing his absolute agony face for when he is fouled.

 

Smith prattling on about Chelski should have had a free kick before the halftime whistle went. And then fails to realise they wouldn’t have had time to take it anyway.

 

Well, at least we didn't concede in injury time for once

 

I know, so unusual for that group of players....

Honestly, it's like Rafa has alzheimers.

 

Cavalry be coming on now and make a game of it.

 

Aaron's is all we ****ing need lads, put him on and it ends 3-2 I tells ya

 

Bring Mitro on and tell him to cripple Hazard.

 

80th min at 3-1

 

Lejeune successfully targeted by 3 long balls in the 8 minutes NUFC held the lead. Manquillo allowed 4 crosses and defended none; turned the ball over going forward once; failed to take the ball around the corner to the byline twice; Diame actually tracked back to fill the spot left open by Manquillo once.

 

I wonder if these linesman are deliberately being ****

 

Hayden coming on ??

 

We will lose 4-1.

 

Perez with a shot drifting wide
and Perez comes off for Hayden

 

Did your man on the inside tell you that?

 

Been carefully watching Perez given the criticism he has had and, in fairness, have I believe identified the two main attributes Perez brings to the team:

1. His ability to get to the opposition player within a second of that player getting rid of the ball, and

2. His ability to fall down and seek free kicks whenever the ball hits his foot.

 

He really is utter gash. Him and Diame would make better firewood.

Final nail for me was Alan Smith saying "He's important to this team". You knew then how worthless he was.
