The Kraken Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 Hooiveld is having a shocker, pretty much everything Chelsea have created is going through his side of the pitch. Colour me surprised. What do people expect? He simply isn't a Premier League quality player, and especially against better sides will more than often get found out and exploited.

slickmick Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 About 5 players in the penalty area all dithering and marking no-one. Easy for Chelsea. I counted 6 all stood near each other and not one of them marking a blue shirt, who had three or four unmarked men in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jampot Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 No cutting edge from us. Chelsea in first gear never looking frightened of us in final 3rd. Davis looks a poor player to me. Yoshida looks like a player that keeps improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 Yes, we have played quite well but the same things are killing us - no delivery, and certainly no quick delivery, in the final third. And ball-watching/marking space at the back. Davis is nothing more than a plodding journeyman with the lethal combo of poor concentration and slow reactions.

Leicestersaint Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 I blame Leicestersaint for the second goal. Guilty as charged. I actually think we're lucky it isn't more - they had 3 or 4 other good chances thanks to our panic stations at the back. I also blame our midfield for not providing more supprot and controling things - why can't we pour forwards like Chelski do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintSteve Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 Well what a surprise.. when will NA learn that we cannot put out a team to stop opposition from playing. We have to attack and to do that we have to play lambert. Guly has been anonymous so w eahve no-one with the skill to put Rodriques through 1 on 1 which is the only way we will score with this shambolic set up.

studentsaint Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 The first goal was class from ba. The second was an unfortunate slip by yoshida otherwise it's cleared before ramires even shoots. Slightly negative team. Think j rod had to play after scoring fa cup and then Lambert or Ramirez behind but not all 3. Rickie more likely to impact as sub think Ramirez only shines when no top players are on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigShadow Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 That's 14 or 15 goals we've conceded in the 15 mins before half time this season.

The Kraken Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 Exactly. Why you complain about getting beaten away to one of the best teams in world football I have no idea. I would be pleased to only lose two nil. Sadly the paucity of our squad means that any chance of doing a QPR and getting something from this game was an entirely unrealistic aspiration. Having a £12M flair player who is too sh*te away from home to make the first XI is a sad indictment too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 Chelsea are not even trying. We are in top gear and they are in neutral I hope they don't crank it up as we will see a route He will bring Torres on and that will be a disaster as he will be gunning to impress and bang in a few. If we are not going to try and compete against every team in the premier league and guild are best players then there is no point what so ever being in it. Davis and gully are not fit to wear a saints shirt. How any professional footballer can produce a corner like that is beyond me. I wouldn't expect that from a Hampshire league player let alone a ****ing saints player. lambert and Ramirez ???? God only knows. Newcastle 10 million lambert in the coming weeks me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo78 Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 I hate the PL.. so boring and predictable... I hope we can stay up so we can strive for mid table obscurity next season. Tonight I'd agree. In the Championship there were lots of difficult games, but you never went into a game fully expecting a defeat. Tonight it's just hopeless - sensibly we've set our stall out to defend and predictably Chelsea find a way to chalk up a few goals anyway. Stamford Bridge is silent as a grave as the football isn't very attractive from either side. Bah. We take 45 minutes more, but this is just plain boring compared to e.g. the Villa game...
