Dr Venkman Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 frustrating this, defensively they're clearly there for the taking but we're just not getting at them. missing barton's delivery imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Boy Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 At least with the equaliser being just before half time Chris has the oppurunity to reassess. Lets be honest it was coming and it would have been worse if it came just after half time, rendering the half time talk and tactics useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Unlucky to concede. Good game so far. We're definitely still in it. Shola is having a stinker, bet he goes on to score a goal though. Would be typical of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Finely balanced, good-ish performance so far. Hope we show a bit more confidence when attacking - going for the killer ball too early for some reason when there are people out wide in better positions to put in a troubling delivery. I think some people seem quite intimidated/overawed by the opposition and have been playing rather tentatively. Decent half anyway, hopefully Hughton can fire them up for the second half.

Tachikoma Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Will the Cole kick on Shola be looked at by the FA? Will it fuck.  Was clearly unintentional though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GeordieAce Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 We were always going to concede. Rather now than late into the second half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I'd honestly rather have Leon Best on the pitch than Shola, the man's a walking example of a static and useless footballer. We've competed well at times, but sitting back has played right into their hands, they're experts at taking advantage of negative tactics.   Last time you said this he scored 2  I thought that Drogba lad didn't dive anymore?

Beren Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Also, gutted Carroll wasn't in the middle for Shola's knockback! Frustrating, but ah well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Not sure how Chelsea "deserve" the goal - all they'd done until then was pass the ball about their midfield. Â We deserved to concede, not necessarily they deserved to score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Will the Cole kick on Shola be looked at by the FA? Will it f***.  Was clearly unintentional though.  It wasn't like. Absolutely no need to follow through into his hip. He regretted it straight away but it was certainly intentional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Great performance from everyone but Shola. Hate it when he busts up our attacks with his poor control. Nevertheless, I'm confident we can get something from this one. Played well so far, wish we had Nolan and Barton though.

Taylor Swift Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Guthrie's had a tidy start as well. His passing has been crisp and he's moved the well from side to side.   some early clutching perhaps? We've played well but seem to be lacking a bit of know-how on the ball. Have to come out and go for them 2nd half though...  Are you serious?  You think Nolan would have done anything in that half? We need to press, we need to defend as a team, we need energy and movement. You tell me whether Nolan does any of those things well. We've actually been good in possession. We've moved the ball well, our wingers have given them trouble and Tiote and Guthrie have been solid in the middle of the park. We would have scored one or two more if we had a competent striker to partner Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Carroll has been brilliant as always. Good shows from the 'rotated' players Guthrie and Routledge, both have had a tidy and positive half - Guthrie has shown what he can be like when played in his proper position, looks decent alongside Tiote as well. Routledge has taken the game to Cole, which is always a decent thing. Shola has wasted every attack we've had and Sol/Taylor partnership has looked incredibly solid. Poor time to concede, although noone was really to blame for the goal. We've backed off them though and that's not good. Whilst they've not really been a threat, allowing Chelsea to pass the ball around like we have is asking for trouble. All in all, happy enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
