Despite all the negatives that have been evident after tonight's collapse Dont be alarmed my fellow Blues As there was some positives 1. Demba Ba - Torres might have been awful tonight but he looks just as bad because of the way Ba played, made himself available for the ball, attacked the ball and was a threat to the Swans despite only being on for 10 minutes 2. Eden Hazard - Very vibrant tonight and the last few weeks has started to come into his own a bit, team mates guilty of failing to finish his chances created 3. Cesar Azpilicueta - Has really settled into that right back role well, gets forward quickly and with purpose. Very astute signing And so thats three positives that we can take from the performance tonight, feel that Cech and Terry being back for the 2nd leg could be vital, and right now Ivanovic and Torres deserve to be dropped
Positives are we now know without a shadow of a doubt that Torres like that fat Spanish **** are soon to be history. Ba did more in 6 minutes than that lazy **** has in three matches.
Well, there are a few positives. At least Hazard is getting back to it, Ba looks great, and agreed, Azpi is a top signing as well. However, you can't get away without criticisms, and here they are. Firstly, Ramires has the touch of a ****ing 5 year old. So ridiculous how he can get away with that at this level. Secondly, any idea of Luiz being good enough for midfield needs to be put to rest. He's a liability, who just enjoys wasting shooting opportunities. Either knock some sense into him and make him decent at the back, or ship him out. Love him, but his footballing brain is unscrewed. Torres is just a joke. We support a club that thinks its okay to release club legends. Mata's shooting has gone to ****. Oscar is wasted out wide. 4-2-3-1 doesn't work. Any more?
I got one. Why do we persist with a fifth rate number 2 goalkeeper when we have a Europa League winning one out on loan, Turnbull positioning for the first goal and the goal against QPR was shocking, will let him away fromthe 2nd Swansea one as that was all Ivans fault Must also be said that if we dont mention Cole and Cahill having bad games then they must have been alright
I got one......with yet another cack result (and Roman's every forgiving way), Rafa's time at the Bridge is one step closing to ending!!!
Surely Ba has to start next game, surely???? Looks like another trophy blown and it could have been Bradford in the final. Shocking from Ivan and for the rest for not burying some of those chances. Long long 90 minutes ahead at Swansea in 2 weeks time.
Come on guys lets rely on the spirit of Napoli, Cech, Terry, Lampard to start and Ba in the role of Drogba. We can do it
Yes you can. I've been saying (like Laudrup) that Chelsea are more than capable but we do have a decent record at the Liberty. Apart from Norwich, who for some reson always seem to beat us, not many teams come here and score a lot of goals. For you, Ba has to start. If he does I think we'll have to score to win the tie. Not over yet.
I personally don't think we will be if we performed like we did yesterday and with JT back, Torres out and Fat Raf not ****ing up the subs then we could definitely get some goals. Positives yesterday were that the team were brilliant, Swansea just defended perfectly for me mainly because of El Nono. Negatives - Ivan, Torres and Rafa.
I must have been watching a different game because I though Luiz was brilliant last night. I thought he absolutely bossed the midfield (apart from the last 10 minutes ).
Luiz was really good again, some people wouldn't praise him if he won all the MOM awards. The problem is the movement ,or lack of it, up front, leaving him bugger all to do except try long range shots. Ivan had a shocker, forget it, it happens to everyone. Still think he's better at right back.
