Guest BillyRay Valentine Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 very well considering. didn't duck out of any challenges, tracked back, lots of very neat touches and created a half chance out of nothing that went just wide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TampaToon Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 best away performance vs a top 4 team we've had under roeder by far, including the arsenal match at the emirates. especially when you consider that we were forced to put rossi on the wing, huntington out there for 90 minutes and pattison out there for 50 against the reigning champs... fair amount possession in the opposing end, and some decent buildup - not the boot it, then sit back and defend we've seen lately...we looked worth a point today, and the team should feel good, to be a lucky bounce away from a draw at the bridge with several players (zog, hunty, rossi, briefly milner & pattison) playing out of position, 2 youth players and 2 guys who'll be gone in january forced into the side.

Guest TampaToon Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 guys how did rossi play? fair opinions please. rossi actually looked ok, but you could tell he wanted to be front & center...ran well with the ball, battled & stuck a few tackles, was physical with the opposition, but tried to create his own chances more than set others up....still he really surprised me with his display as a wide man, clear why he was selected over luque to start the game, all out effort IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Babararo started very poorly but certainly improved significantly Butt was always there Sibierksi and Martins did all you could ask for - often on their own Taylor looked very solid considering that most Chelski fans around me had forgotten that SWP was on the pitch ......................

Yorkie Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Roeder said "err" 17 times in 51 seconds of post-match footage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Just seen the Sky highlights. I was impressed with Huntingdon, who I thought did very well considering the opposition and his inexperience. He looked an intelligent and composed player. A good prospect.

M4 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Huntington's nerves and inexperience stood out like a pink elephant for the first ten minutes... after that he blended in really nicely. Whereas our other fullback accumulated the major fuckups all game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MalcolmSm1th Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 guys how did rossi play? fair opinions please. Impressively. I can't really expand on this as I am puzzled by the enigma that is Rossi. But last night he was simply excellent; he fitted in well, ran everywhere and got stuck in. Apart from not scoring a hat-trick in the first thirty-five seconds of the match I couldn't ask for more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas our other fullback accumulated the major fuckups all game. For these first few minutes I thought to myself "Oh, hell" but when he settled down he and Taylor became very solid together and I wouldn't mind him starting there again for as many times as he can.
