@jackal,

United conceed fewer goals because

1. they are playing with the same defense for over a season -
2. they can play attacking footie which prevents their opponents from running back at them most times.

Chelsea have conceeded far too many goals this season because we have not done the two above. and Why?

We are back to the same reason. Players are missing. Why is it too hard to get that? This beef sha,

@jackal.

Where have you misplaced the technic of attack in football? When you play with aggressive and potentially destructive attackers, you reduce the chance of conceeding by almost half. because most of these teams come to play defensive against you when you are complete.

But when they look around and don't see the quality scorers , they say lets give it a shot and play attacking football which increases the chances your conceeding by almost half.  That's where Drog comes. When Drog plays, we r sure of at least two players not leaving the opponents' defense for 90mins.


You get the point bro?

What will happen if they face united? How many goals have united scored since the league started?

A-40

Did I hear you say contenders? I thought you said you will win.

@jackal

U blamed your lack of winning matches and scoring goals on the absence of Ronaldo and Saha. Is Manu a one man team? They have since returned plus you guys spent over £60m in the summer and you have been getting from that are 1-0 wins.

Does that make ALex less special? Does that mean he should be sacked. If you could not score everton until 82mins, aw will you score liverpool, arsenal?

Does it ever worry you? What I am trying to say here is that teams usually go thru this phase Chelsea is going thru and you know the tea is one with great character. so what is the fuss?

Not to talk of Vanpersie, Rosicky who never stay out of injury will be out too. Let's see.

@loyika,

Aw can u say bar the FA cup win. We win a tournament and you say bar the win? Did u realise aw many matches took us to that final? Do you know that chelsea played more matches that nay other club in that season and you say bar the match. I'm surprised.

So what was bad about chelsea last season? because we did not win the premiership? So ManU was good and they won just the premiership? Arsenal was good and they won nothing? Liverpool was good and they won nothing?

I don't seem to understand here.

oh my goodnessssssssss. Jackal is online. Why did I come here at the wrong time?

@razorr

It takes only an empty mind to say last night's game was boring. I watched the match with ManU fans yesterday and at some point they just were clapping. They said this is beautiful football and we are only unlucky not to have won.

@razorr

I gbadun youoooooooooooo. True chelsean.

@A-40

You are a false prophet. you still don't know half of what is going to happen this season.

@fynewaka.

Ok you guys are complete. No injuries. You guys made a lot of noise on this thread. when ronaldo comes back, when saha comes back. When angelssssssss come back, blah blah blah.

I met a Manu fan in Coventry yesterday and he said though he likes what is happening to chelsea, he still can't figure out how ManU went from a flying club last season to becoming very staisfied with 1-0 wins.

Ok my question is who else r u waiting for?

It's not his fault. I mean you and I know it is unusual to see arsenal at the top of the table. At least for the past three seasons. I as well think they in unfamiliar territories.

Plus he still does not see how they will sustain it. Injuries to a few key players, and that is it. The momentum and sustenance is lost.

tkb417:
First time here and i can feel some pains.
The season has just started.
your pains will increase when you loose at OT
Buncha noisemakers

Sheva should move to New York or Texas or somewhere around.
Someone called Moaniho the special one. yes with his stupid subs, hes obviously a special one

Your first time in a chelsea thread and you call JM's sub stupid. Tell me what you would have done if you would have made the subs.

A-40

Wish one be dat na?

@debosky
When you need to win a match under pressure, with only a few minutes to play for, the only thing to do is give it all hence the rash decisions that JM pulls out. He probably thinks why hold back. It doesn't look they'll score but if we make it rash, they might want to take advantage of it in a hurry and then make a defensive mistake in the process. If a gola is scored then Terry returns to defense and everthing goes back to normal.

Don't forget, Benhaim is a fantastic player on the left anyway. If we had scored a gola he would have played on the left.

A-40,

You can't be sure about that the only thingI can say is that the season is going to be keenly contested for. We still have Lamps and Drogba out you know.

@debosky

We could have wrapped the game up in the first half. The reason we could not was because we could not hold midfield play for long. Sidwell, they say, wins tackles but football is changed this days you are looking for ball winners that can also start an attck. If a player cannot start an attack, he is less one. When Lamps was younger he was known for winning tackles greatly but he gets the ball and runs at the opponents defense.

Sidwell cannot start an attack. It's painful.

@A-50

You do not predict matches. You wished and it happened simple. Did you predict that a goal was going to be disallowed?

@debosky

You cannot call the ashley cole sub a wasted one. The idea was to make central-defensive cover behind while terry joined the attck. Terry is perhaps the tallest and the best header of the ball of the players that played. The last minute tactics was to cross as many balls into the attack.

Malouda's inclusion would have been justified. The incident to mamba disturbed the rythm of play. The only thing I frowned at was the Inclusion of Sidwell. I have said so many times on this thread that i do not know why that guy appears on our team list.

Somze,

Don't you worry. U r not alone. Let the missiles rain.

What in the world is going on here? I can't beleive this is a sports thread. This is real anarchy,

My views as a chelsea fan.


Until they can't a ball anymore, I still beleive Sheva and Ballack are an important part of our team. Selling Robben and Diarra did not go down well with me as a chelsea fan.

Buying sidwell as far as I am concerned, I can't still see the reason. Back up for Nations cup players. Well maybe but until then. I can't see why we have him.

Alex reminds me of Boulahrouz.

Benhaim, Malouda and Pizzaro, Good signings. My candid opinion.

We are still strong anyway to contend in every competition and we are winning trophies this season again.


@A-40
Why you dey steal Jay-Z line?

we don winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

2-0

1-0

I can't settle down

Bad thing

Penalty

Why has this thread suddenly gone back to the 1950s? Is there still any place for us that started watching football yesterday?
10pages of all sorts of stuff except chelsea's. and this is supposed to be achelsea thread.

What about the [size=16pt]64 matches unbeaten at home record[/size]?. Who go break that one?

Good point except the any team can beat the 95 points. Only a few can but it wil take time.


Wait a minute what about [size=16pt]64 matches unbeaten at home?[/size]. Tht's a premiership record. Who will break that?

@jackal

What is wrong with you today? Did I tell you ruud never scored? So why are you showing me all his lifetime goals?
We are talking about scoring out of nothing and you are showing me the number of penalties he scored.

I mean I had barely seen it for 1min and and he had scored 5penalties. jackal Ma ba e ja oooo.

@jackal,

There is a clear difference between scoring a good goal and scoring out of nothing. That Ruud goal is out of a goal bound move he would be nasty not to have scored. I am talking about defenders opening their mouths wide when a goal is scored. I am talking about the whole defense line not having the slightest clue a goal was coming.

That's scoring out of nothing.

This is scoring out of nothing.

How many times did you see him doing this in the season. What are you going to say? He dived before he scored?
