Fu/cking humiliation.
Hilario is a disgrace, give us Turnbull.

Your defence was the disgrace.
It was Tevez vs Carvalho + Terry.
How did he manage to score?


Mikel that y'all praised on Wed is a dummy. Just tackle Bellamy.

Drogba was more useless than Mikel today.


CA should never have brought in Sturridge. How can you bring in a rookie like Sturridge when Kalou is on the bench?
As a matter of fact, CA please stop bringing in Sturridge during serious games.

The damage had been done before Sturridge's substitution.
You lacked panache and there was no real creativity.


I see more problems ahead. Surely we shouldn't dream of beating Villa.
It always go wrong at the end of the season for us. Later y'all will say JM was a fluke.

Jose Mourinho's team was better than today's Chelsea.
Onigbinde woulda won the TREBLE with the team Jose had in 2004-2007.

CA is to blame for making hurried and wrong subs.

I can't fault the full backs for going forward.
That really ain't the reason for the goals.

The center backs should have stayed at home, what was Carvalho doing in front?
If our goalie wasn't so useless today, things would have been different.

All in all, CA takes little blame for the disaster.

Re: Chelsea Vs Manchester City [2 - 4] On Sat, 27th Feb by nateevs(m): 5:12pm On Feb 27, 2010
Ask yourself the bolded question again. . .
Where was Ivanovic on Bellamy's first goal?
If he's playing his rightful position, do Citeh score?
If either one of Ivanovic or Malouda was in the full-back position, does Tevez score the first goal?

And that's why I told you 3 of the goals we conceded were not from the advancing full backs.
Yes if Ivanovic was there he may not have scored. . which is the downside of the formation.


However, the question remains, Was that why we lost? and the honest answer is . . . NO! That's not why.
So why blame the formation. . ?




Go and review Diego Milito's goal again, and you see similarities. . . in that one, Ivanovic was in his position, but the supposed right-winger (Anelka) was not in his position and allowed Zanetti to create the overload that caused the goal.

At least it wasn't caused by the advancing full back.
That is to tell you that we could have the full back there and still concede. . Why not take a chance. ?
And so far only about 10% of conceded have been as a result of advancing full backs.
On the flip side, we have scored bucket loads of goals.



What I am trying to make you see is that the Scolari/Carlotti formation and style of play is brittle. . . you are liable to win 5-0, and you are also liable to lose 1-0 or 2-0 on several occassions. . . this is not a league-winning  formation/style of play.


The formation is not brittle and I have proved that to you time and again. . .
Carllotti's undoing has been his failure to tackle the set-piece problem once and for all. . .
Take away all the goals we conceded from set-pieces and we will be on top league by at least 15 points. . .
Now tell me is that because of the advancing full back problem? . . . No! . . . Set-pieces have been our let down.
Clear as day. .

So I don't see what you talking about.




Manure are better than us, and they dont have better players than us. . . . if Ronaldo was here, we would be 7 or 8 points behind.
I hope you know that both Grant and Hiddink only lost once in their Premier League careers with Chelsea.
If we had either them or Jose now, I can guarantee we would be 7 points clear.




I am not buying this bullsh-it . . If ManU are better than us, How have we led them for 90% of the season.
If Ronaldo was with Chelsea by how many points would Utd be behind. . .
Oh suddenly you see that players can make a difference. . . and you tell me not to blame the players. .

Why was Jose not leading the table just before his before his sack. . If he was left to stay, it could have been his most disastrous season with Chelsea.
Roman did him a favour . . and if he had stayed, he won't have won the league in that season. . What's to say he will now?

With Grant and Hiddink, they enjoyed the renewed spirit players always have with a new manager . .
A new atmosphere and everyone trying to impress. . . They haven't started a season with the players and gone season long. . So it is irrelevant to compare.

Also it is pretty silly to compare (and we have done this before) players from 2 years ago till now.

There is nothing wrong with Carllotti and his tactics. . . If Carllotti has Essein, Bosingwa, Ashley, Zhirkov and Cech all fit we will not be where we are now.

Granted, the center backs messed up.
What was Hilly doing?
That goal would never beat Cech.

Drogba was more useless than Mikel today.

He had a bad day. It happens.

The damage had been done before Sturridge's substitution.
You lacked panache and there was no real creativity.

What damage?
We were just a goal down.

DS is not a player that can influence games. Kalou stands a better chance.
Why did he remove Carvalho ?

ose Mourinho's team was better than today's Chelsea.
Onigbinde woulda won the TREBLE with the team Jose had in 2004-2007.

This is untrue . . What subs would you have made and how would you have made them?
It's not enough to say Carllotti made wrong subs. . . What subs were wrong?

I also cannot understand what you mean by rush. . . We were 2 goals down and he brought 2 strikers on. .
If he went on to win the game you would have called him a genius. . .

If Belletti and Ballack were not such utter idio-ts, we would have at least drawn the game because we attacked to the last minute even with 9 men.

@Ibime
To be honest the wigga was too eager i can only guess he was trying to re-enact 07's comeback against the Spurs in the FA cup and went ahead to shoot some dice with those subs. He missed out three important points

1. Chelsea where a younger and stronger side then
2. Tottenham was weaker compared to this Man City team
3. Y'all had a midfield henchman/mafioso in Makalele who played his position (If i recall i think he played that game)

Sturridge had no biz in that game! He could have moved Malouda forward and played with 3 CB's! Belletti and Ballack in front of the D and the rest of the attack picks itself that way y'all woulda been able to push for goals and still keep shape at the back

JM would have won things with this team too.


If Carllotti did not bring DS in, who should he have brought in?
We can't act like we don't watch Chelsea all season. . .
How many times have we watch Chelsea calling for the head of Kalou. . He is a below average player. .
And today DS had more influence on the game than Kalou . . . and has done so many times this season. .
Are you saying this becos we lost?


He also took out Carvalho and moved Belletti to CB. . . Nothing wrong with that. .
That way Belletti's attacking instinct can be employed on the right while we still have a proper centre back in Ivanovic. .
Belletti can cross better on the right and shoot on goal. .
Plus if we have a set-piece Ivanovic is more of a goal threat than Carvalho. . . It was perfect tactics up until Belletti made a foolish decision. .

As if that was not enough Ballack of all experienced players launched at a player causing no danger when he knew he was on a yellow card. .
How is that Carllotti's fault . . ?

nateevs:

This is pure rubbish. . . 65% of our goals have come from set-pieces. . . at least 20-25% of the others have come from counterattacks.

Ask youself this question. . . if Chelsea are playing Barca tomorrow, dont you expect a silly manager like Ancelotti to give Zhirkov the licence to attack despite the presence of Messi?

This just buttresses my point that great managers adapt to any situation, whilst brittle managers play the same style regardless of the opposition.

IMO, all we needed was to bring in Kalou for Mikel
Belletti for Cole.

Like you said that's the goal that put them ahead. . but that's not the goal that won them the game.
We are talking about games lost not goals conceded.

And Carllotti did not make raft subs. . I wonder where you guys get all these info. .
Before that red card to Belletti, the team shaped up like this in defence. . .

   ----------------Hilario---------------

Belletti---Ivanovic--Terry---Malouda

                      Ballack


How is this unbalanced. . . . That is a prefect tactical change. . . The same formation we would have played if Mikel and CArv were injured. . .
Why are you guys just wanting to blame. .?That's all I see. .

I am absolutely disgusted that no one is chastising Belletti and Ballack for their stupid challenges. . and everyone is going on about Carllotii. .
If we had Belletti and Ballack on the pitch we woul d have left with all 3 points from 1-2 down.





is is pure rubbish. . . 65% of our goals have come from set-pieces. . . at least 20-25% of the others have come from counterattacks.

I will go and review every single PL match now and I will give you the exact % of goals conceded from counter attacks and how many of them have caused us to drop points and I will come back to you . .
I will prefer to allow Zhirkov go gung ho against Barca and perhaps force them back and hope we get 3 away goals against a poor defensive Barca than sit 11 men behind the ball for 90mins . . . kill football and create a bad image like we did last season. .

I hope you remember that Maicon is also an attacking fullback/ pseudo-winger. . . yet when you see Inter playing in Champions League, Mourinho does not allow Maicon to go forward any and anyhow. . . even Patrice Evra goes purely defensive when Manure is playing Barca, or even Chelsea. . .

DS came in because just when we needed 3 points against Fulham, he came in and created 2 goals in a match that was already lost.
At least Kalou was in the game. . If he was such a game changer why did he not change the game. He did even make a single shot on goal and never crossed the ball to anyone despite playing against Richards.

How many matches has Kalou changed this season? This is just a plot to find someone to blame.

We did not lose the game because Carv went off. . We had more than enough defensive cover in Ivanovic and Terry. .
If we showed up at 12.45 pm today with a defensive line up of Belletti, Ivanovic, Terry, Malouda, would you write the game off even before we kick a ball?
So aw come it's a rash decision. . . I can't believe the way we Chelsea fans have this blame culture.

Are you actually suggesting that Belletti made that challenge becos Carv was not playing ?
So if Carv was injured and Ivanovic and Belletti played together you would have predicted a penalty and a red card because Carv did not play?

What sort of gist is this?

I hope you remember that Maicon is also an attacking fullback/ pseudo-winger. . . yet when you see Inter playing in Champions League, Mourinho does not allow Maicon to go forward any and anyhow. . . even Patrice Evra goes purely defensive when Manure is playing Barca, or even Chelsea. . . Great managers adapt to the opposition, silly managers insist on playing the same way all the time.

Anyway, you agree that Ancelotti plays the same style/formation as Scolari. . . thats enough for me. . . one was a failure. . . the other will be.


So why didn't JM win the CL with Chelsea then since his tactics did not involve advancing full backs.
You are saying the same thing. . . We have conceded far less goals as a result of advancing full backs than you are making it seem.

Would you wait till we play Messi and see what happens? When Carllotti was playing without width you blamed him. Now he is playing with width you blame him . . . If he decides not to play with advancing full backs tomorrow, there will be something you take up again.


This is absolute garbage.


Scolari employed attacking full backs but passed endlessly and never created goals.
Carllotti's formation scores goals and by scoring goals, you win games. . . That's a big difference between them.

DS came in because just when we needed 3 points against Fulham, he came in and created 2 goals in a match that was already lost.
At least Kalou was in the game. . If he was such a game changer why did he not change the game. He did even make a single shot on goal and never crossed the ball to anyone despite playing against Richards.

How many matches has Kalou changed this season? This is just a plot to find someone to blame.

We did not lose the game because Carv went off. . We had more than enough defensive cover in Ivanovic and Terry. .
If we showed up at 12.45 am today with a defensive line up of Belletti, Ivanovic, Terry, Malouda, would you write the game off even before we kick a ball?
So aw come it's a rash decision. . . I can't believe the way we Chelsea fans have this blame culture.

Are you actually suggesting that Belletti made that challenge becos Carv was not playing ?
So if Carv was injured and Ivanovic and Belletti played together you would have predicted a penalty and a red card because Carv did not play?

What sort of gist is this?

In all honesty, until Tevez's 1st goal in the 45th min, Citeh offered nothing upfront which means CA's plans shoulda worked.
Mikel Obi should take the blame for the first goal cos he headed backwards without any pressure whatsoever.
The ball fell to Tevez who still had to beat Carvalho and Terry and Hilario. . . . How he managed to score should be questioned by Chelski fans.

Obviously, Chelsea missed their full backs and Essien but the team out there was still decent enough to have copped a victory.

DS ain't sh/it abeg.
Who the f is DS? Because he's scored in every FA cup game?
Maybe he helped against Fulham, this is City, a serious club.

Kalou didn't play badly today.
He's impact was more than that of your DS.

If Belletti was deployed to the LB, we wouldn't be talking of that challenge. . . cheesy

Get me right my dear, CA ain't a bad manager at all !!!

He just panicked and made the wrong subs. He probably wanted to preserve our home record.
He ended up doing worse. How many centuries ago did CFC concede 4 goals at home?
