Arsenal Vs Chelsea (Capital One Cup) 29 Oct 2013 19.45pm KO SS1

[LDG]

Second string for this one.

I fancy us to nick it too.

:scarf:

[Marc Overmars]

Chelsea's 2nd string is always quite strong so we're probably underdogs.

Sitting behind the dugout for this one. :popcorn:

[GP]

We'll win and win well.

[LDG]

GW Poster, surely?

"In Letters We Trust"

I would piss myself laughing.

Make it so.

[GP]

Print out the Letters Dream poster.

[GP]

Also, throw stuff at Mourinho.

Preferably anthrax

[4-3-3]

Özil giroud Gibbs, Sagna, Ramsey and BFG - all should be omitted from this meaningless cup.

jenkinson, Nacho, TV5, Frimpong, NB23, Gnabry, Park, Ryo, and Eisfied should play and maybe Jack, Cazorla and coscenly

Cazorla defo neeed to play.

[GP]

I'd like to see Kris Olsson get a run out.

[LDG]

Yeah. Talented lad that one.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

It is a wonder that anyone advocates playing any Arsenal player of any importance if this is as meaningless as it seems to be to a lot of our fans....

----------------Fabianski----------------

Jenks------Merkyl------VM8R------Nacho

--------FrimSting--------Wilshere--------

Gnabry----------Rosicky----------Cazorla

-------------Chuba Akpom---------------

I would be inclined to name a strong bench too which included Giroud, Ramsey and Ozil. I don't see the point in naming a weak bench, littered with players who aren't particularly likely to change the game...... or with names of guys who are almost definitely not the future of the club anyway.

I grew tired of Bendtner long ago and I see something in Akpom I like.

[AFC Leveller]

Chelsea can play the likes of Mata, Eto.o, Ba, De bryune etc so anything other thana strong team from us will likely end in defeat. Maureen always treats this cup seriously and we know how much he loves beating us and do anything to halt our momentum.

[Bumble]

I would go in with quite a strong side, still more likely to win this than the league. And winning any trophy can be a spring board to further success. Win this match and one of the big teams are out. We arent going to finish below 4th place and we arent going to win the league, so we should really go for this. We dont want to stop the momentum. We lost to dortmund, palace was a bit squeaky bum at times and if we lose against Chelsea we have Liverpool with two on form strikers. So not exactly guarenteed 3 points.

No Arteta, Flamini could be interesting as Wilshere isnt 100%, so Ramsey will have to play anyway. I would through Ozil in as it would mean another game to build up an understanding with Giroud and Cazorla. Same back four and Chezza. So basically pick a full strength side and once we are 3up then look to substitute. There are plenty of league games in the season when we can rotate players. I dont think a one off cup game is the right time.

Also Pod, Walcott and the ox will return at some point to allow more rest time for others.

[Syn]

Wenger's going to give us yoof.

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/team-news-who-is-fit-to-face-chelsea-

Good luck to the team. x

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Wow Bumble. You are even more adamant we take this seriously than I am!

I do think the league is a priority as a) It is the prime competition we're in and b) I want us to go close enough for Wenger to see that under-preparing the squad was actually unnecessary and that we could have won the damn thing.

Ozil's understanding with the rest needn't be hurried through and I would have reservations about starting Ramsey given that we now know (Wenger has come out and said it) that Jack isn't quite there yet injury wise, Flamini is injured and Arteta is out.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Hmmm so a revised team then in light of the team news.....! Hopefully Gnabry is okay

Fix it for you :coffee:

[JonasTC]

Fix it for you :coffee:

I think we should play Cazorla to get him match fit. There is an international break comming up soon, so might aswell give him as much playing time until then.

[LDG]

I think we should play Cazorla to get him match fit. There is an international break comming up soon, so might aswell give him as much playing time until then.

Yeah, he was a yard short (not in height :rolleyes: ) on Saturday, and we need him back to his quickest.

One of our major problems last weekend was the pace we played at. Not entirely sure where things have slowed recently, but it is 90% of the problem, in relation to the dip in performance.

[Ollie the Optimist]

can't wait for this one. first home game since spurs (spurs :pal: )

id play a reserve team for this and put the match winners on the bench just in case

so

fabianski
jenks - kos - verm - monreal
gnarby - jack - hayden - rosicky
cazorla
bendtner

subs - vivano, merts, sagna, ozil, giroud, ramsey, gibbs

[Xhaka Can’t]

We were home to Dortmund last week.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

You want Eisfeld and Wilshere to sit and hold against a team like Chelsea? I probably wouldn't be comfortable doing that against Palace never mind Chelsea. Ryo hasn't overly impressed me and Bendtner is just biding time. It still annoys me that a player so publicly adamant he would never play for this club again is lining up for us.

[Marc Overmars]

Is Sanogo still dead?

[GP]

Yes, he isn't white and English.

[Syn]

Yes, he isn't white and English.

Just read his tweet. Playing the race card :haha:

What an arsehole.

[Marc Overmars]

We've never had any Black African players play for us. Never.

[Syn]

He shall henceforth be known as black bentley.

[Underhill and over Grove]

His twitter account has been suspended! What did he say??

[Syn]

His twitter account has been suspended! What did he say??

It's not suspended. https://twitter.com/IAMFRIMPONG26

In answering a tweet about why he wasn't included in the game tomorrow, he wrote "Lol I wanna laugh" and then "Sometimes I wish I was white and English". He deleted it quickly after.

Slow football news day and so the press will make a meal of it. Tomorrow's papers:

[Xhaka Can’t]

What a surprise.

[GP]

Mourinho once poked a man with cancer in the eye just to deflect attention away from his own shortcomings. We must beat that arsewipe.

[Syn]

Nicklas Bendtner ‏@bendtnerb52
Carl jenkinson just left hes car and ran to the stadium. #2mile #run #hardworkanddedication #warmup #done

:haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Gnabbers has picked up a knock and is unlikely to play tonight.

[Munchies]

^ Ah ffs :doh:

Also, on SSN, they had a stat card with which Wenger has never beaten a team managed by Mourinhoe , good time to start tonight I guess :good:

[JonasTC]

^ Ah ffs :doh:

I love "stats", you can always find one that suits you. You could probably find one that says Wenger has never lost to a team in blue in round 4 or smth like that.

[AFC Leveller]

If you forget about the competetion for a minute, this is a massive game against Chelsea and we should play the best available team. we played Dortmund on Tuesay and then again on saturday so there is no reason why we cant do it again.

[Syn]

Chelsea are going to destroy us. There is little doubt about that.

[GP]

3-0

[Özim]

Gnabbers has picked up a knock and is unlikely to play tonight.

He's running scared, he knows we're in for a tonking and doesn't want to be involved!

[Özim]

I love "stats", you can always find one that suits you. You could probably find one that says Wenger has never lost to a team in blue in round 4 or smth like that.

True but this is basically a head to head between Mourinho and Wenger and Wenger has never managed to win a game against him which suggests Mourinho knows how to the expose the weaknesses of his teams.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

3-0

Ozil hattrick

[Özim]

3-0

Ozil hattrick

Unlikely, he probably won't even play.

[fakeyank]

I see nothing but a Chav win unfortunately :(

[Letters]

I see nothing but a Chav win unfortunately :(

I hereby give you permission to go to the game then as it doesn't make any difference.

[Xhaka Can’t]

This is a tournament where having a quality squad rather than just a great first team really comes into play in matches between the big clubs. Chelsea are simply much better equipped for tonight. I'll be pleasantly surprised if we win.

[Master Splinter]

Since the last League Cup game, only Cazorla has returned to the squad. Instead of players returning from injury, Flamini and Feo have since joined the stricken and Gnabry and Eisfeld have decided to pick up knocks too. Even Frimpong has picked up another injury. That was most likely another knock to his brain though, tbf.

Our injury situation just never improves. If we ever have the luxury of a first choice XI again, never mind a fully-fit squad (withstanding Diaby of course), I think the world will cave in on itself.

By contrast, teams with trillion-pound squads like Chelsea and Citeh rarely have any serious, long-term injuries. Well, Kompany aside. Chelsea have only Van Ginkel missing, and he would have been sidelined by Mourinho by now anyway.

Apart from our choice of strikers, our squad is fine. Actually, it's better than fine. As evidenced by our second-choice defence, which looks strangely to be the strongest part of our team at the moment. Our midfield and attacking midfield/wide options are really impressive too. Saying our squad is thin, or whatever cliche the next braindead pundit will use, is factually wrong. In numbers and ability, there's not a huge difference between ours and Chelsea/Citeh's. The only difference is theirs cost loads more. The fact that we always have so many players out exarcebates the myth of Arsenal having LITERALLY no depth.

We should have added to our options up front and in central defence, but what can you do when you have seven first-team players out and even your best young players are dead?

Tl;dr: Injuries are the number one problem at the club. Still.


If we do beat Chelsea today, it will be an outstanding result. If Wilshere, Rosicky and Cazorla play it should give us a real hold of the midfield. Hayden was an absolute scrote against West Brom. He will need to show more than that tonight.

The most important aspect of the game should be to avoid any injury to a first-teamer, especially if Essien is out there targeting the shins of players gliding past him.

[fakeyank]

I hereby give you permission to go to the game then as it doesn't make any difference.

I saw them beat us 0-3 at home. Dont think I can take more of the same again!!

[Syn]

Might as well field absolute crud and then have no excuses not to beat Liverpool on the weekend. Would hate Ozil, Cazorla, Giroud getting involved and still ending up losing.

Life lesson: If you don't try, you can never be disappointed.

[Master Splinter]

Arsenal team to play Chelsea: Fabianski, Jenkinson, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Monreal, Ramsey, Wilshere, Rosicky, Cazorla, Ryo, Bendtner

Arsenal subs: Viviano, Sagna, Hayden, Yennaris, Ozil, Giroud, Park


Ramsey is going to be absolutely drained by Christmas. Shame about no Gnabry. Ryo was a lot shit in the last round.

Park :lol:.

[Syn]

Well done to Chelsea.

Hope there are no injuries to Jack, Ramsby, Rosicky, Cazorla or Kos, and that somehow we are fresh for Liverpool.

[Syn]

Chelsea: Schwarzer; Azpilicueta, Cahill, D Luiz, Bertrand; Essien, Mikel; De Bruyne, Mata, Willian; Eto’o

Our only hope in hell is out-running a pretty slow midfield. i.e. Ramsey goes mental.

6-2 for Arsenal. :good:

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

That Chelsea team is far from unbeatable....but I have more faith in Eto'o than Bendtner so our instruments are a little blunter than theirs. They have their best player playing too.

[Master Splinter]

Our only hope in hell is out-running a pretty slow midfield. i.e. Ramsey goes mental.

On Paper and In Real Life we should really control the midfield. Unless Essien and Mikel are given free reign to kick and injure. Up until we get to Ryo and Dennis, we look really good.

5-0 at half time then bring Ramsey, Koscielny and Cazorla off. :pray:

[Master Splinter]

They have their best player playing too.

So do we tbf.

Touche...

Really strong team! Cazorla, Wilshere, Rambo, Rosicky, Kos + Verms is a good cb pairing. Nacho and Jenks solid at wingbacks.

..However attacking wise Bendy n Ryo moght struggle.

2-1 aet. Conr on you...


CUNTS IN RED I LOVE Y'ALL MOTHERFUCKERS!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

O'Leary in the studio, nobody there to represent Chelsea. :lol:

Why no Gnabry? Ryo is a headless chicken.

Ans a chinaman. We got the kitwasher playing!

Park is an international for pete sake, how bad can he be? Give the damn guy a chance. That boy could save our season.

Dont give a fook what Wenger thinks tbh. He bought him, he made his decision. Board should force him to play him in X number of games before giving him any more money.

Bendtner header, easy for Schwarzer.

Mata completely fooled Monreal, luckily Essien pubs it up afterwards.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla. :cloud9:

[Maestro]

if we had real motivation, work rate & desire dare i say we could take them

WTF Jenks? :haha:

exactly

[Globalgunner]

We have enough quality everywhere except up front. Bender is pants and Ryo unproven at this level

[Maestro]

[Master Splinter]

Jenkinson is woeful at heading the ball.

[Globalgunner]

Dowd fails to punish Essien for a blatant block.

Jenks. What a clod!

[Penguin]

It's amazing how casual we are in situations like that. No risks FFS!

[fakeyank]

There is no way we will win this. Jose knows how to shut up shop after a gift like that.

[Maestro]

we have a real death wish, given the way we concede most goals

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great run by Wheelchair.

Mikel booked. Run at him!

[Xhaka Can’t]

I watch for 10 seconds and see a goal.

[BOBN]

Why is jenkinson never booed? Comedy player and worse than all the guys booed in recent years.

[Munchies]

Cmon

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monreal fires it across goal.

[Maestro]

nacho man close

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should have been a corner I think.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Jenkinson seems to be having such a stinker, he is bound to score a goal at some point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Essien shot, charged down.

[Maestro]

Great run by Wheelchair.

Mikel booked. Run at him!

this

he's one of the easiest players to get sent off

[Penguin]

Why is jenkinson never booed? Comedy player and worse than all the guys booed in recent years.

Probably because he's a gooner (his whole family is I think).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor old Jenkinson.

[Maestro]

love the font on the cup strip btw

[fakeyank]

Jenkinson!! :lol:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Why is jenkinson never booed? Comedy player and worse than all the guys booed in recent years.

I can't answer that because I've never booed an Arsenal player.

Jenkinson seems to be having such a stinker, he is bound to score a goal at some point.

We need Newguy to come and post this :lol:

[Maestro]

We need Newguy to come and post this :lol:

it will happen

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Essien's clearance. :lol:

That must be out the stadium.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eto'o. :haha:

[Penguin]

Does this game go into ET and penalties if it's level?

[GP]

Does this game go into ET and penalties if it's level?

Yes

[BOBN]

Anyway, its Park time.

[GP]

Dowd is a faggy ball sucker

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Essien. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Essian is reassuringly shit.

[Master Splinter]

Essien :haha:.

[GP]

That's the worst attempt I've ever seen, and we've got Bendtner on the pitch.

[Globalgunner]

Bendtner heads the ball down for Chelsea.
Where would we be without Koscielny

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT. :doh:

[Penguin]

Bendtner's so annoying to watch. Giroud would be getting in there challenging for every ball played up there, and winning most of them too. Bendtner doesn't even try to challenge for them, he strolls around throwing his arms up if a pass isn't right to his feet.

[GP]

Not a lot in it, tbh. Only a complete gift seperating the sides.

This game is there for the taking.

[JonasTC]

Think we have been the strongest team, despite Jenkinson, Bendtner and Ryo offering nothing. Not really impressed with Chelseas hail mary style.

[Master Splinter]

Chelsea have been the better team and had more of the ball, but they didn't really threaten our defence. GHELkers has been their best player and he provided a great assist.

We've had a few good moments but the final ball/shot is missing with the players up front.

Rosicky, Ramsey, Monreal and Koscielny have played well. Jenkinson and Wilshere were poor. Cazorla still rusty.

[Newguy]

it will happen
Sorry guys, only just got in.... It's not the right time yet for e post... I need to get really annoyed first loool but I've heard jenkinson gifted the chavs a goal, we'll see what happens

[Penguin]

Sorry guys, only just got in.... It's not the right time yet for e post... I need to get really annoyed first loool but I've heard jenkinson gifted the chavs a goal, we'll see what happens

You would have been annoyed if you saw the goal. I knew we would fuck up when I saw the ball bouncing awkwardly just behind our defence. If you're not sure just smash it out.

Not a bad half from us though, but we're a little toothless in the final third with Bendtner and Ryo there.

[Newguy]

Not a bad half from us though, but we're a little toothless in the final third with Bendtner and Ryo there. Im slightly indifferent about the result as Wenger doesn't beat mourinho ever so didn't have high expectations but setting the reply I don't understand how we are still gifting the opposition goals from corners. I remember when we use to be the team most dangerous when defending a corner, now we're the ones most likely to concede when taking one

It would be nice to get through but I think we've only got the squad to mount a serious challenge in one competition and that's the league.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eto'o gets a proper strike away this time but wide.

[Özim]

I've always thought Etoo was sh*t.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla shoots but fairly wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey shot, deflects and out for a corner. Speed to it Bendtner!

[JonasTC]

Can somebody pls kill Bendtner? Running around with an arrogant attitude and does nothing, and on Ramseys latest shot, he could have scored if he tried to sacrifice himself

[Penguin]

Bendtner has the reactions of a tortoise

[Munchies]

Bendnter is shite ffs

[Xhaka Can’t]

I hate the fucking sight of Bendtner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bendtner, what are you doing?

[Penguin]

Can somebody pls kill Bendtner? Running around with an arrogant attitude and does nothing, and on Ramseys latest shot, he could have scored if he tried to sacrifice himself

I wouldn't even call it running around. He looks like he's having a gentle jog in the park :lol:

[Maestro]

dennis bendtner = very poor specimen of a footballer

[Munchies]

BENDNTNER LOL

[GP]

Giroud on for Bendtner immediately plz

[JonasTC]

Stadium singing for Giroud :bow:

Wenger pls put him in, Bendtner looks like a Chelsea defender

[GP]

Giroud's song being sung :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey. :bow:

[fakeyank]

Do we have to wait till 70 mins to take the cunt off?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla plays it in, no intention from Bendtner to get on it. :rolleyes:

[Maestro]

what a shame we have fuck all up front

bring on bif & oz

[GP]

ffs he's not even trying.

[Munchies]

bentdner is useless

giroud on now ffs

[Özim]

Ozil coming on, surprised we're playing a decent team today. Don't really want to lose this, but even less so with a team like this.

[Master Splinter]

Akpom should have started.

Is he injured too?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey goes for it, not far wide.

[Penguin]

So close Rmabo!

[Munchies]

'Our last league cup win against Chelsea was 37 years ago, Frank Stapleton scored'

I had his signature and a letter from him 10 years ago, but its probably in the bin now :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ryo off, Özil on.

[JonasTC]

Have we even had a shot on goal?

[Munchies]

OZILZ :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Should have taken Bendtner off and put Ramsey up front.

[GP]

Have we even had a shot on goal?

Yes

[Özim]

Have we even had a shot on goal?

We're saving them up for Saturday.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 what a goal from Mata.

[Penguin]

Game over :(

[Munchies]

FUCK THIS SHIT

[Özim]

It was only a Mata of time as Juan belts one in and finishes us off.

[Penguin]

Sub Ozil off again tbh

Chalk this game off as a write off.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Should have taken Bendtner off and put Ramsey up front.

Even Chamakh wouldn't be worse than Bendtner.

Just pay out his contract and tell him to fuck off.

Oh great...now we have Ozil on for a lost cause - he'll probably get injured now.

[Maestro]

wenger doesn't help himself sometimes

how is bendtner still on the pitch

mata quality, lights out arsenal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bendtner hauled off, Giroud on.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Oh FFS, it is too fucking late.

[Maestro]

just fuck off wenger

[Globalgunner]

Bendner comes off for Chelsea

[Özim]

Even Chamakh wouldn't be worse than Bendtner.

Just pay out his contract and tell him to fuck off.

Oh great...now we have Ozil on for a lost cause - he'll probably get injured now.

Yeah come off it, have you seen Chamakh, 2 shots in 10 hours of football, a total bag of shite.

Gutless as well.

[Penguin]

Too late Wenger...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne off, Ramires on.

[Özim]

Our form is dropping away at a very bad time of the season.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Completely fucking retarded move bringing Giroud on now.

[fakeyank]

Shouldve just brought on Park instead of Bendtner.. why risk Giroud?

[Globalgunner]

wenger doesn't help himself sometimes

how is bendtner still on the pitch

mata quality, lights out arsenal

Wenger searched the whole world and couldn't find a better striker than Bendy

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud shoots, Schwarzer saves.

[Ralpheroo72]

Jose has got one over Arsene again, doesnt matter about the personnel. Has the November collapse started already?

[Munchies]

Phil Dowd is useless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kos only just stops it being 0-3.

[Penguin]

Kos off the line :bow:

[Özim]

Jose has got one over Arsene again, doesnt matter about the personnel. Has the November collapse started already?

He's shown time and time again he can get the better of Wenger, Wenger just doesn't have the answers it seems, the fact he's never managed a positive result against him says a lot.

Mourinho returning to England was basically very bad news for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Essien booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair shoots but high.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wheelchair shoots but high.

That's just a rumour.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eto'o off, Ba on.

[Ralpheroo72]

When Giroud is killed due to excessive usage, we are fucked. Wenger needs to buy in January, and no excuses, Bendtner isnt fit to wear the tottenham shirt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey off, Park on. :bow:

I am loathe to talk about this man as a tactical genius, tonight was always going to be problematic against a side that has far more strength in depth than ourselves. And with our squad with a danish half wit backing up our main striker.....the team we put out was always going to be powderpuff because we don't really have any strong defensive midfielders in the side with the exception of flamini and arteta both of whom are unavailable tonight.
It wasn't about Mourinho getting one over Wenger tactically it was simply about him having a better XI than us tonight.

[Munchies]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO L

[JonasTC]

Who is that asian guy who just came on for us?? :doh:

The fact remains Arsene Wenger has never won a match against Mourinho which suggests some tactical superiority. Mourinho is very tactically astute, he's shown that many a time, Wenger isn't.

[Özim]

Ramsey off, Park on. :bow:

That's an admission we've lost.

[Özim]

Sounds like a Chelsea home game.

Again i don't agree Mourinho is that tactically astute, he is given a lot of money to spend to players that do a job by strangling the life out of the game....he has never been at any club long enough to build a lasting dynasty. I think any one with half a brain could build a side with physical midfielders and defence to contain the play and counter attack sides especially if they are given the cash to do it.
Don't get me wrong Wenger is too stubborn to have any tactical awareness, but Mourinho is not this genius that he is lauded as.

[Özim]

Jenkinson, bag o' shite.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Jenkinson sadly is not up to the job.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nobody ever has the sense to run far post when there is very little chance of anything happening there near post.

Four added minutes.

He wins trophies, his teams are hard to beat, he's proven himself noone can question that now. Wenger has gone 8 years without so much as a tin pot trophy, there's no dynasty there either. Would rather he'd have left in 2005.

People might not like him, but his teams always have a certain quality about them, organised, work hard play for each other and hard to break down and beat. His substitutions have also proven to be very good over the years.

[Newguy]

Has park touched the ball

[RomfordPele]

Come on, blow up ref. no more injuries please.

[Penguin]

Ba hits the roof of the net

[IBK]

Pwned I'm afraid. :angry:

[LDG]

Really poor today.

[Özim]

Has park touched the ball

He's only here for marketing reasons.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get it in the mixer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 FT, well that sucks.

[Xhaka Can’t]

That was garbage.

[Penguin]

Easy

[GP]

Oh well. Wasn't a lot in it.

Start with a proper striker and we'd have taken them. We weren't outplayed by any stretch.

[Özim]

Giroud was sh*t when he came on.

I think we're gonna struggle against the big boys, we looked totally toothless today whatever team we had out.

[RomfordPele]

Crap. Should have played the kids.

[JonasTC]

Giroud was sh*t when he came on.

I think we're gonna struggle against the big boys, we looked totally toothless today whatever team we had out.

Are u kidding me!? As soon as he came on, we put pressure on their defence.

[Munchies]

Ozil gave Mourinho his shirt

[LDG]

What a load of crap.

Awfully predictable football from us.

Very ruthless football from Chelsea.

We still haven't learned :rolleyes:

[Özim]

Crap. Should have played the kids.

Yup, damaging defeat today beaten by Chelsea's B team, we got no chance against this lot.

[IBK]

Giroud was sh*t when he came on.

Worries me too. If i had to call it I'd say we've flattered to deceive so far. Without Flamini I can't see a great deal of difference in our teams.

[Özim]

Are u kidding me!? As soon as he came on, we put pressure on their defence.

We barely created anything, he had one shot I think.

Ineffective and sh*t sorry, we need better players than this against the big boys.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Don't waste your time.

[Özim]

Worries me too. If i had to call it I'd say we've flattered to deceive so far. Without Flamini I can't see a great deal of difference in our teams.

Yeah I'm worried too after this game, wasn't far off our 1st 11 and yet we got beaten by their second team. Our form is dropping away at a crucial time, if we'd played some kids today and lost whilst it would have been disappointing at least we'd have kept up the mystique we could match the top teams, this results kinda proves we can't and won't help the players believe we can either.

[GP]

Yet it took a gift and a wondergoal to beat us.

If you put your mattress up against the radiator it should be dry by the morning.
