The Official Chelsea Thread [Vol 3]

[monty999]

Although I’ve been a critic of Cucerella, I thought he had a brilliant game but operated in midfield breaking and chasing instead of being crap at left back/ left wingback.
The system seemed to suit the whole team, West Ham never got near us, let’s hope it continues.

Apart from the 3 times they hit the cross bar?

I meant while we were on the ball

And yes, Gary Neville is such a dick.

Interesting comments from Poch here.......

Very rare to hear coaches/managers making comments like this......?

Having seen what potter is still earning, and that an unemployed manager can walk away from an opportunity like Ajax

I’m sure he isn’t that concerned…

Sort of comments that someone makes knowing that they're likely to be sacked?

Personally I hope that he stays, but who knows

Bit of momentum at the end of the season so obviously we'll tear it up and start again...

Poch aint going anywhere.

It hopefully shuts up the poxy press.

Surprisingly they held out for a good away win. Maybe 6th could be a possibility which is incredible given how st they’ve played.

Great game tonight, specially when I put us to win down at 2-1.

Subs made the difference today, good signs and good to have some football to finally watch.

Brighton will be a tough game.

We had CHO at the club for years. Everyone knows he's a one trick pony. Gets the ball on the left, heads towards goal, cuts inside and curls a shot into the far corner. That's it. Show him down the outside and he may as well not be on the pitch. So what do we do, let him come inside time and time again. Hits the bar, so surely we'll learn. 5 mins later, bang, they're 2-1 up.

Wtaf is going on in training and match build up. Does Poch discuss the opposition? Do they watch videos. That was rank stupidity today.

That was a game that should have been won easily, especially after taking an early lead. The performance overall was a backward step on the last few games.

God I hope you run out of things to moan about with chelsea soon!

Right now being ahead of Manure feels like a win and does anyone think they'll do anything but get roasted by Arsenal this afternoon? After last seasons dire stshow it feels to me like we're finally beginning to head in the right direction. These things don't happen overnight. Despite his goals Jackson isn't ready to lead the line at the highest level - which is surely what we're aspiring to; we could be a proper no9 away from doing something good*. Feeling positive that Poch might be onto something here.... if he stays. Which he absolutely should.

• because our track record of signing excellent forwards is top notch isn't it

To be fair to CHO, he did hit two left foot crosses, one that should have resulted in a goal (MGW header against the post and Wood screwing the follow up). I reckon he'll be even better next season.

I could argue that papering over the cracks is not in anyone's best interests.

[trackdemon]

And so the revival continues.... couple of lovely goals and looking fairly solid at the back for a change. I'll be supporting SheffU on Sunday

We could end up 5th unless I’m reading it all wrong? Spurs need to lose of course?

Yep, Blues win and Spuds go super-Spursy and loose to Sheffield, then its 5th place.
