sonic_bouma Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 3 points out of 9 against Liverpool arsenal and Chelsea is fine by me. I'd like it to stay at 3-0 now though please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Where is Clark when you need a scapegoat? Boring game, Chelsea are lucky with deflections. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermie123 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I dont think Benteke is going to make much difference against these teams there just to good for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 well I think i'll find something else to do when it comes to the Man City game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Beaten by the likely Champions, and there's no real disgrace in it. Still would have liked to have seen us have more of a go at them. Save this quote for next week to, but lose Likely'!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Can't really fault any of the players, we've been outclassed plain and simple. Chelsea are easily the best team in the league right now. On this evidence we never stood a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan501 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Im just sick of this whimpering football i wasn't overly impressed when we won games the style of football that bores me to tears we are such an unnattractive team to watch we counter attack and thats it we have been totally outclassedby a top chelsea team Edited September 27, 2014 by villan501 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 The way City are looking at the moment, there could be something there for us. Anything in this game would've been a big surprise. It'd have been nicer if we could've kept chelsea to one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan501 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Just the game to not be over as soon as a top side scores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These games are for bonus points. We've already nabbed 3 points from the Liverpool game which was great. If we play so unambitiously once this run is over, then there'll be cause for voicing concern, but as things stand it's promising that we're looking so organized for the majority of games compared to previous years. You don't go from relegation battles to playing expansive, attacking football against a team where most individual players cost more than our entire starting XI 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 There is nothing wrong getting beat 3,4,5 0 by Chelsea, and we have played reasonably well for parts of the game. Additionally there is sense in adopting a cautious defensive approach after last years problems. But there has to be a level of concern that in seven games this season we have concedeed 11 goals and scored just 4 ?......well I have a level of concern !?.

Biskitt Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Fabregas really is different gravy isn't he. Makes the game look effortless and nearly always picks and executes the right option. What I would give to have a player like him in our team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I dont think Benteke is going to make much difference against these teams there just to good for us! Agreed.

It would be more concerning if those games didn't include Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and a notoriously tight at the back Stoke. Once this horror run of fixtures is over we'll be able to get a better idea of how much (or how little) attacking threat we really carry - particularly with Benteke back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a gulf in class, and sadly we're on the wrong end of it. What Benteke would offer is the ability to do something brilliant when it's at 0-0 or 1-0 to the opposition. That'll pick you up a few extra points against the top teams over the course of a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
