Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Though it was a much improved performance, this was a 'free match' in that we were expected to lose. And despite playing really well, we still couldn't win. Even Pardew was able to motivate the players against these at SJP, so it's not exactly unprecedented. I sincerely hope the coaching staff can use the positives from this game to help us win the matches against the lesser teams to come, because s*** teams that get relegated often put in surprisingly good performances against the leading clubs and the 'if we can just play like that every week...' rhetoric never comes to fruition. We're still in big trouble IMO. Good appraisal. I was disgusted with our corners at the end mind, that sums McClaren up for me, cautious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Team was knackered so we sagged back. Makes you wonder what they're doing for fitness training, too many were gassed after an hour or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably bang on I was surprised at Perez, he was really struggling on the defensive to cover the midfield. Hate to say it but I think we missed Colback's energy in the middle after he went off, Wijnaldum's still struggling a bit with the pace off the ball.

M1tche Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Got the mitrovic sub very wrong. Perez was spent and you saw it not long before the sub ad he tried to support janmaat Mitrovic picked up a knock. fair enough if he was injured, if it qas just tiredness though we were going to have to defend a lot for last part of the game and would have much rather had a knackered mitro defending set pieces than perez.

Its not like Chelsea were even playing out of their skins and then the short corner at the end was also annoying because we'd already scored from a corner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still in big trouble IMO. Game of two half's for me very good in the first, playing exactly how you should against the better teas but second we played exactly how you shouldn't and allowed Chelsea onto us and too much space. We need a manager who will when winning actually continue to try and win the match and not just hold on if we do actually score first - we had nearly five year of it under Pardew and it certainly won't change under this bloke either.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 At least he looks like he's thinking, and he's trying to correct the problems. He's realised how good Perez is, he picked the right man to replace Haidara, he even managed to inspire Anita and Colback a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 His style is clearly more about retaining possession and trying to play it across the floor like, we did that well in the first half. Today was the 2nd time this season we've actively played for a point though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 The corner at the end was annoying but we were really struggling under pressure. I didn't like it but when we were desperate to take something from the game, I could understand it. Chelsea were always going to start the second with more gusto, they tired us out well, tbh.
