Newcastle 0 - 1 Chelsea - Post match thread


Recommended Posts

trust me,with roeder he will play moore as cb the first game he is back..

 

If it meant Moore coming in for Ramage, and Ramage replacing Baba as the left-back - and i'd be OK with that. We've got enough firepower from midfield to not need another sprightly wing-back... Ramage is good from a defensive side of things. Far better than Babayaro.

 

(Nobby --- Taylor --- Moore --- Ramage)

 

Ramage has proven to be totally inept at LB.

After Mourinho brought in 3 first teamer subs, should we surrender our working formula and try to win a game with more offensive play?

 

Course we fucking should. I want to see us win the game, not sit back and watch them attack us. They had won the moment Drogba entered the field while we had no fresh legs.

From an attacking point of view, yes. But he is far superior defensively to Baba - which is what i feel is the most important thing. We need our four best defenders in our defense.

Played the wrong formation - shuda gone 4-4-2 and played as Everton did at them at the weekend, didnt look at all like scoring in the 2nd half, almost like we were playing for the nil nil

 

After about 55 mins i was thinking "we are playing for pens"

then i spent 10mins trying to convince myself, we couldnt be as there was 35mins left, plus 30mins Extra Time (possibly over an hour), but it still looked like we were playing for pens, barring that Dyer half chance, there were no shots on a very dodgy keepr.

We had fuck all on the bench tbh mate.  Their bench pissed all over what we had on the pitch never mind what we had on the bench.  It was less to do with fresh legs than it was to do with quality.  Might have give us a slight lift, but realistically we were never scoring tonight.

Why the F*** didn't we get a pen for the f***ing blatent push on Sib as well.

 

 

You think that should of been a penalty? No way in hell that was a penalty...If you meant that situation when he got pushed in the back and threw himself on the ground..Was it Carvalho who pushed him a "little" ??

 

 

But when you consider what free-kicks they got...

 

 

yes i agree that they got many silly freekicks. But if we would of got a penalty for the push against sibierski it would of been an even worser decision by the referee than those freekicks chelsea got all the time..Thrust me, i was pissed of wit the ref. But it still shouldn't been a penalty for that little push

I said the same at 0-0. He should have taken Parker off early in the second half (given that he'd selected him) for Sibierski and gone 4-4-2.

I don't think he is, mate. When I say inept, I mean inept. He is hopeless at LB. Completely hopeles.

Disagree. Sibierski would have been a good impact player. He has been playing very good football of late, and he woul dhave given Martins a partner - which he so desperately needed. We were effectively playing with 10 men in the swecond half, because Martins could do absolutely nothing.

 

There was Rossi aswell, who would certainly injected us with something, as he so has done whenever i've seen him play. I thought he would have been perfect to come on for Dyer, who was invisible. Absolutely nothing was happening for us in that second half - we needed something to reignite the spark. I dare say Rossi (or Rossi and Sibi) would have done that.

 

I don't actually think it was the quality that mattered. It's the fact that players like Sibierski make a team. He ain't great - but he just makes us click at times. He should definitely have been brought on by the 60th minute or so.

Bollocks. We had Luque, didn't we?

if i had been Roeder tonight i would have taken dyer off for Rossi, put rossi on the left and Milner on the right, brought sibierski on for Parker and shoved him upfront. I wouldn't have left it til the 86th minute neither, i would have done it on about 60minutes.

jus got back.  GG to all the lads up in lvl 7, great atmosphere and variety of chants.  Have to get myself up there more often!  As for the game, just me, or did Robben dive?  And Martins shot was awesome, shame the linesman was well behind play.  Well played Newcastle.  Now we can concentrate on the league.  Oh and as for the Chelsea fans, Jesus Christ.  What a bunch of fags.

Exactly my thoughts come the 61st minute or so, until the end.

It made 1 thing dam clear, Martins needs much closer support!

A 4-3-3 may use 3 strikers but they are to wide spread, a 4-4-2 is by far our better formation with a man much closer to Martins. Emre could have played wide left with ease with Milner wide right and Butt holding CM with Parker pushing on.

Dyer and Martins or Sib and Martins uptop.

They attacked us yes, but their attacks were largely ineffective, due to the doubl shield of Butt and Parker.

 

It is insane if you think we have smaller chance to lose the game with the likes of Drogba, Lampard and Ballack on the field.

 

It's not easy to win a game against Chelsea. And it's just silly if we lose the game by naively trying to win the game.

4-5-1 was never gonna work tonight - clearly Sibierski must have been carrying a knock, otherwise he would have started/come on earlier. Our limited options cost us tonight, but in saying that - the back 4 were excellent I feel. We have a long-term partnership in the making here, with Taylor and Ramage. They should be given a chance to develop further, even when Bramble and Moore become fit again. They are surely earning their chance ?

What good would it have been playing for a draw, some may not rate Roeder but he is not stupid enough to have wanted a 0-0 at FT, to have then had to play an extra 30 mins, not with the schudule we have over the crimbo period.
