That was terrible, why Jose didn't do anything about the long balls to Walters I will never know, would have saved their second which would have killed them off.

Why take Schurrle off too? :facepalm:

And btw, Ramires is a useless, hopeless, shithouse player. Nobody or nothing will ever convince me otherwise. Was the worst player on the pitch today (yet again) and utterly ballsed up about 4 golden opportunities.

Yes, everyone's been eager to lick his arse over substitutions in games we won (regardless of whether they had any direst impact or not) as some sort of managerial masterclass, yet today they were categorically awful. We looked infinitely better before any changes were made at all.

Schurrle though :bow:

Should be a starter.

I didn't understand them either, Schurrle is infinitly better on the ball than Eto'o, why take him off when he is playing so well?

Why not bring on someone to cover Azpilicueta? Better yet, Put Azpilicueta on the right of defence and bring on Cole, see how Stoke respond. Lampard was the only decent sub but it needed to be for Ramires, not Mikel.

And so now we have to hope and pray Everton take points off of Arsenal tomorrow or we'll be 7
behind :facepalm:

We're not out of it but it makes the game Vs Arsenal a must win.

by Shed Sat Dec 07, 2013 5:18 pm

Yep. Lose that game and we're in real trouble.

by Kick Sat Dec 07, 2013 5:21 pm

I am really over Ivanovic Starting too, Azpilicueta should be switched to RB with Cole going back to LB.

Once again, I'd like to see Oscar-Mikel pivot with Schurrle Mata Hazard in the band of three.

Don't care who starts up front, they're all hopeless currently.

F*cking hell. :facepalm:

Petr Cech is in some terrible form isn't he?

by Shed Sat Dec 07, 2013 5:24 pm

Yes, and not something he can afford with Courtois knocking.

by Kick Sat Dec 07, 2013 5:25 pm

The defence isn't helping though. Neither is the midfield.

by Shed Sat Dec 07, 2013 5:29 pm

The bottom line is we have an unbalanced squad. Besides the line of AM's and the keeper (who himself is getting increasingly dodgy), our team is average to poor. Average defence, woeful CM and a hopeless strikeforce. Criminal wasting of money and failure to strengthen where clearly, clearly needed this summer is to blame for our woes this season more than anything else.

by Kick Sat Dec 07, 2013 5:34 pm

Apparently Schurrle came off due to Injury

Hope it's nothing serious.

Video of our MOTD segment yesterday, in the unlikely event anyone wants to relive that shower of shite...

by Kick Sun Dec 08, 2013 10:06 pm

Never. Ever. Again.

by Shed Sun Dec 08, 2013 11:13 pm

Infuriating that if we'd beaten this hopeless lot yesterday, a win over Palarse at home next weekend and an Arsenal loss away at City would have seen us top.

:facepalm:
