jalether: Lampard, Ballack, Mikel, Deco, Joe Cole can all pass the ball. I dunno what happened to em tonight. Lampard was a shadow of himself - He was irritatingly quiet. |

nateevs: What baffles me is how we keep buying the wrong type of players, it doesn't take an Isaac Newton to figure out what we need to do don't be surprised if we buy Emile Heskey next season. The board of director's probably have a fetish for physical players |

~Sauron~: Lampard? The king of deflection goals? Yeah right. . . .Mikel can pass? Sideways and backwards and not much else. Ballack can pass? He is a power player not a creative force - let no one be deceived. Deco can pass, but he's past it, Joe Cole? Not really - he hasn't shined against big teams. For all the hype about Malouda, the player Chelski missed the most was probably Cashley - most of Inter's chances came through that wing and his attacking prowess cannot be under estimated. Chelski is still working on a Mourinho template. . . . .till someone has the Cojones to stand up to Terry Lamps and DD and move away from this overly physical approach and go for some real creativity (while keeping some steel) y'all will remain where you are. The fear to drop for a while and resurface is killing Chelski at the moment. . . .for how much longer? |

jalether: Physical football is Chelsea's way. Jose Mourinho instilled that mentality into Chelsea and the board has not changed that ever since. Little wonder he eliminated Chelsea. . . . . .He took apart what he once put together. debosky: We are talking about passing. . . .not goals.
Sideways or backwards passes are fyne as long as he keeps possession.
He is still better than Diaby/Denilson in keeping the ball.
He just came back from a long lay-off. If you can make excuses for a useless Eduardo then i think Joe Cole should be spared.
Malouda was monstrous in both legs. Zhirkov was the plonker who did not overlap when he had to.
But their physical approach works 90% of the time. They were able to disgrace a rampant Arsenal side @ the Emirates. Only few teams can do that.
They cannot afford to drop for a while. Chelsea need the money. They have not made profit since Roman took over in 2003. |

~Sauron~: NO they can't, Deco is probably the only technically gifted player in that midfield but unfortunately age is catching up with him The rest of them rely on their sheer power and strength to play footie, Is it just a coincident that they always struggle to be creative and inventive against stronger oppositions. any retard can pass Stoke City to death nah |

Well it doesn't really matter what we all say here about them, Chelsea still has a good players and a good team,i believe the can still win UCL maybe next time |

U missed good players today. Cech, Ashley Cole and Bison woulda done loads of wonders. |
Re: Chelsea Vs Fc Internazionale [0 - 1] [Agg: 1 - 3] On Tuesday 16th March by Ibime(m): 12:22am On Mar 17, 2010 |
Why do people assume that because someone is physical, he cant pass a ball? Do you lot know Ballacks pedigree in Germany? Klaus Topmollers Leverkusen were the best passing side I have seen in the Champions League with the possible exception of Barca, Villareal and Arsenal. . . . and Ballack was at the forefront of that. Dayo, can I get a witness? Chelsea defended on the halfway line hoping for offsides. So much space inbehind, even a blind man could have picked the passes Sneijder did today. All he had to do was ping the ball into space. Contrast with Inters defence sitting on the 18 yard box. What space was there to pass into? Did Chelsea not control the midfield in the first leg? Was that not a function of the way Inter was set-up? Where was Sneijder in the first leg? Similarly, Sneijder controlled the midfield today because of the way the tie was set up. Its simply a funtion of formations. |

Ibime: What was his pedigree? He is a power player above anything else - same for most of the Chelski players.
Wrong - Basturk and Berbatov were at the forefront of the passing - Ballack provided the power play.
So it's the space that made Ivanovic lose his man?
While Inter defended deeper, you had no one play through balls, even through the middle - you either tried to POWER your way through the defence or lob the ball up to Drogba. You don't have to drop the ball over the full backs to pass.
You over-emphasise formations - that is not the problem, it was poor organisation. Alex forgetting to push up was sloppy, so was the poor defending that gave Thiago a free header in the box earlier on. Besides, the pass to Milito that he missed was INTO the box and not into any space as such, so again, Ivanovic lost his man - he was targeted continuously as a weak link almost throughout the second half. |
Re: Chelsea Vs Fc Internazionale [0 - 1] [Agg: 1 - 3] On Tuesday 16th March by Ibime(m): 12:50am On Mar 17, 2010 |
debosky: Can you name a power player who can pass the ball then. . . or is passing simply a function of small size? Jus cos someone works hard for the team doesnt mean he cant pass. . . . unless youre trying to tell me that good passing is the preserve of midgets. A good example of this is Paul Scholes. No one noticed his brilliant passing in the high energy days of his youth when he was playing box to box. Now because he has slowed down, you can appreciate that Scholes is one of the best pass masters in the game. The lesson here is that because power players sacrifice finesse for hard work, you should never assume they cant pass the ball. debosky: Berbatov was largely an impact substitute in that season. . .Brdaric was the main striker. . . . . the triangular axis of passing was between Ballack, Basturk and Ze Roberto. . . with Ramelow at DM mostly. . . Ballack was the LCM whilst Basturk was the RCM. . . most of the good stuff came in triangular passing movements between Ballack and Ze Roberto. . . if in doubt, ask Dayo. debosky: Eto had acres of space to run into. . . thats the point. . . even if Ivanovic lost his man, he did so near the halfway line. . . meaning any pass can be underhit or overhit by a few yards, and Eto would still have space to latch onto it. . . compare with Maicon losing his man on the edge of his box. . . . theres little margin for error with any pass. debosky: Thats the main point. . . . Barca are the best passers in the world without doubt, but were unable to put a single through pass against a deep lying Chelsea last season. . . . if Barca cant do it, then needless to say, that proves my point. . . any through pass by Chelsea midfielders with Inter so deep is going straight to the goalkeeper. . . our only chance to break down such a deep-lying defence is to get the ball wide and put the crosses in. . . as an Arsenal fan, you should know that. |

Lampard, Ballack, Mikel, Cole & whoever can pass the ball, no question (even i can) - but we're talking quality, visionary, defence-splitting passes No need 4 'em to look very far 4 illustrations. . . . . all the chelsea mdifielders should sit, watch that game again thoroughly and take notes from Wesley Sneijder! |
Re: Chelsea Vs Fc Internazionale [0 - 1] [Agg: 1 - 3] On Tuesday 16th March by RuuDie(m): 6:19am On Mar 17, 2010 |
with the type of players chelsea have, there was little or nothing they could do formation-wise. . . . their undoing, was not taking a no-holds-barred approach to the game; they shoulda gone for broke from the off and quit all that cagey bulls.h.y.t.e - inter were by far the enterprising team on the night! |
Re: Chelsea Vs Fc Internazionale [0 - 1] [Agg: 1 - 3] On Tuesday 16th March by RuuDie(m): 6:26am On Mar 17, 2010 |
Face it. . . . Ballack is not just creative enuf! |
Re: Chelsea Vs Fc Internazionale [0 - 1] [Agg: 1 - 3] On Tuesday 16th March by RuuDie(m): 6:34am On Mar 17, 2010 |
. . . . and b4 u start creating so much furore and overhyping Ballack in Leverkusen - read: the 4-1-4-1 formation employed by Topmoller was terrific. Oliver Neuville arguably reinvented the lone striker role, at 5’7 demonstrating that you don’t have to be a target man to play upfront by yourself. He drew defenders out of position, creating space for the runs of Michael Ballack, who scored 17 goals in 29 Bundesliga games (an incredible record for a midfielder, and just one off being the league’s topscorer) and 7 in 15 Champions League games. Alongside Ballack was the equally talented Yildiray Basturk, who lacked Ballack’s pace but provided intelligent, methodical passing from the centre. Bernd Schneider and the wonderful Ze Roberto (one of the most underrated players of the decade) worked the flanks excellently, swinging in crosses and covering their full-backs in equal measure. Need to read some more. . . . http://www.zonalmarking.net/2010/02/25/teams-of-the-decade-6-bayer-leverkusen-2001-02/ |

Lyk i said earlier b4 d match Chelsea's powerplay wont work against an equally powerful Inter.i said Lucio and Samuel wuld handle DD and d Inter midfield would cancel out Chelski's power tactics.D Inter players just wanted it alot more and Mourinho is a superior tactician compard 2 Anceloti esp when it comes 2 assesin ur players qualities.d 1st tin Chelski shud hv done at d start of d 2nd half was kip some1 permanently on Sneijder.d person Chelsea missd most was Essien cos he is d only one in either squads wit BOTH space and pace 2 beat d organisd Inter midfield |
Re: Chelsea Vs Fc Internazionale [0 - 1] [Agg: 1 - 3] On Tuesday 16th March by afrodoc(m): 7:03am On Mar 17, 2010 |
Ramelow won d ball 4 Leverkusen,Ballack held d ball and controlld play BUT Basturk made d dribbles and incisive passes.Berbatov was still 3rd choicd striker then behind Brdaric and Neuville.Schneider and Ze Roberto from d flanks.it was usualy a 4-1-4-1 wit Ramelow behind d 4 midfielders although Ramelow somtims playd at CB esp when Nowotny was injured |

Ancelloti simply cost us the match. When you play a team like inter with guys that can mark, you need to create attacking uncertainties to keep the opposing defence guessing. Kalou who was by my reckoning our best player after Ivanovic in the first leg was pulled out by Ancelloti for no reason. For a good coach , Anelka should not have lasted 30 minutes on the pitch, aside the fact that he does not pose any threat to the opponents defense line, he is also a genius at slowing down attack.whenever he gets the ball, he romances it enough for the opponents to regroup. Ancelloti should have known that he needed a player that can take on defenders, and Kalou(and may be Joe cole in the good old days) appears the only player in the attack line that can pose serious threat to opponents without depending on this lazy pass=pass football. With kalou introducing uncertainties in the attack, the policing of Drogba would not have been so tough the way it was last nite. Ancelotti sometimes make Amodu look like a genius with his changes . He had no business taking ballack out, he simply should have taken out Anelka for KALOU and watch how inter would have been forced back to their shells. Best of luck to Inter, Jose is like one of us, it makes the loss less painful. |

Na so Blame your players not the coach. . . . .injuries didn't help you guys too. Ashley Cole and Essien woulda made the difference on a day. . . . much as i wanted you guys to win, the players and midfielders were not on duty last nyte. . . . . needless to say they situ played in Mourinho's hands!! prepare for next season. . . but pls when buying, mix the power players with some creative players and those with flair. U guys have struggled against sides with power, pace and grit!! The EPL might just slip from ur grip if u guys don't watch it. . . . . . buy wise. . . its even man U's to lose at the moment!! |

Re: Chelsea Vs Fc Internazionale [0 - 1] [Agg: 1 - 3] On Tuesday 16th March by naso2(m): 9:43am On Mar 17, 2010 |
Emperoh: The coach definitely was largely responsible. What on earth was anelka doing on the pitch? Why pull out a zirkov and force Malouda who was giving the attack some shape back to defence? These were that things the led to the result being in inter's favour. Do you know the difference it would have made if the man just retained the first half team and replaced only Anelka with Kalou? The injuries sure did us much arm, but we are talking about making the best use of the players available and understanding the opponent enough to make the changes that matter. |
