OnlyOne Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 + Given looks like he could save us a few points - Sloppy defence returns - Long balls again - Ireland is more trouble than his worth - Not seeing much from the kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoD Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I have no problem with us getting totally out classed today. It might be a reality check that the management and board need. Also it is Chelsea, they are better than us all over the pitch i'm not sure what people are expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 There is absolutely no threat from us, none at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 So basically according to this thread. We're shit. Albrighton is shit. Dunne is shit. Warnock is shit. Gabby is shit. Ireland is shit. and so on... Well the game I'm watching we've set out a team who aren't used to playing with each other apart from the defence. We're playing in a hot climate on a dodgy pitch v a very good passing side. After making a very bad start we've settled down well but we're shit because we're struggling as usual against the second best team in England who are having a strong pre-season. :yawn: This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOne Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 We really need a defensive midfielder. I can see alot of opponents walking through our midfield with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardvillan Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Wow, we are just getting completely bullied in the middle? Surely AMc can see this. I suggest he has a word with RL about maybe freeing up funds for a powerhouse in the centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Chelsea havn't controlled us and tore us apart like this since the second half of that 7-1 . We actually played well against Chelsea in the 0-0, 3-3 and the 3-0 semi final FA cup loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 30, 2011 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2011 I'd agree OnlyOne, we miss Reo Coker I think - that said we're settling a bit and whilst we're still second best here I don't think the game is completely without hope - unlikely but possible.

deeps Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Not gonna bad mouth the team its a friendly however, we need a couple more players. We will struggle with numbers other wise. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 We really need a defensive midfielder. I can see alot of opponents walking through our midfield with ease. Yeah too much space in front of Collins and Dunne so they're slipping through balls between them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 We really need a defensive midfielder. I can see alot of opponents walking through our midfield with ease. This. I can see the big gap forming again between the midfield and defence. Not liking it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window09 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Chelsea are far better than us and this is only pre-season but the constant hoofing is really depressing. It is not even like it is working and I think we have some decent ball players too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cillit_Bouma Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 It's the fact we can't put 3 passes together when we get over the half we line which is annoying me. No ones had any composure on the ball so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I have got no problem with us being the poorer team (lets face it, Chelsea are in a different league) but some players look like they can't be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaRoy Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I also have no problem been poorer than Chelsea, but I do have a problem with us being this much poorer than Chelsea. Both teams seem to be treating this like a Prem game, a lot of effort, fiesty tackles. We are all over the shop though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a case of not being bothered myself. It's just so hot and we're having to chase Chelsea around with the ball, so we're naturally going to be more fatigued then they are. If we had the ability to out-pass them we would, but we don't unfortunately. Just gotta sit tight and try and counter them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
