Cuadrado looks toilet, still at least it's a better performance than Wesnesday.
He looked well off the pace. Another 2 points dropped. More worryingly a poor performance again. Not sure how this is going to be turned around, but they need some good results and sharpish. Some tricky games ahead of us, but right now each game looks like a big hurdle.Amirhussain said:
If I was a Southampton fan I'd be pretty gutted with one point. They deserved to win. Second half was much better from Chelsea, but a big sigh of relief when ref blew the whistle.
Only silver lining is that we may have only got one point, but City did lose ydai.
To be honest, the way that things are going, Arsenal will be more of a concern than City in the closing stages of the season.Only silver lining is that we may have only got one point, but City did lose ydai.
Still looks odds on that we'll win it, but better performances are needed.

The worrying thing is we still have to play arse away, utd at home and liverpool at home. Based on our last couple of months performances 3 points out of 9 there will be a good result. Still looks odds on that we'll win it, but better performances are needed.
t in the second half of the season....was the same at Arsenal and Barca.

Bloody hell, you're not wrong
Was thinking about the team and think too many players have under performed recently including Matic, Fabregas, Cahill, Oscar and Costa.I think things need to change. I would have Courtois, Terry, Ivan, Cahill and Azpilicueta, then Zouma and Matic in front of them, then Willian, Ramirez and Hazard with Costa up front. I think Zouma would give more protection to the defence with added pace. Ramirez right now gives more energy behind the strikers and will win more possession than Fabregas who needs a rest I think.

I'd go along with that for the most part, except for Ramires who is too much of a liability for me. He's quick but that's it, he rarely produces anything. It's all very well being first to the ball but more often than not he'll give it away almost immediately, and probably commit a foul when doing so ! I'd play Oscar ahead of him.I think things need to change.

When I watch Chelsea and Ramires is playing, I never have any idea about what he's there for. Besides the goal against Barcelona years ago I don't think I've seen him do anything worthwhile, ever.Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
