Taz & The Devil Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 That was crap. I'm sorry but i'm sick to death of us not playing our way against top sides because lets be honest we get nowhere everytime. Gutting to lose, especially when we were on top. Honestly think if VDS doesnt hesitate he saves it instead of Drogba scoring. Thought Rooney was good until he got in front of goal. Scholes some fantastic passing, Fletch saving Wes a million times as Cole and Robben went past him for fun. Yeah thats about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the second half of the stadium he had been consistently poor & yet people only pick up on the odd good game he has (Roma home etc). I thought Vidic was amazing against Drogba & Rooney ran & ran.

Weststandred Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 An eventful day. Parked in Dollis Hill, Nick was right about the resident parking but I didn't know we were meeting my uncle who sorted us out in a non-resident place. Drank in Dollis Hill till 2 then got the tube to Wembley Park where it kicked off. When we got on the tube about 6-7 proper Chelsea "boys" were on it giving it the "we hate man u!" Then a group of United who had just come on the tube came into the same carrage and started singing United songs. Within a couple of minutes, punchs and bottles were thrown with a poor disable lad in the middle of it crying. When the tube stopped at Neasden, more United turned up and Chelsea ****ed off. As for the stadium I didn't think it was "utterly amazing" or anything, the facilities weren't that good, at half-time I went for a **** and everybody was in the ladies toilets ****ing on the walls and in the sinks because there were loads of female toilets and hardly any male. The walk we had to do get to the concourse was tiring, seemed to go on forever just like getting to NT3. The atmosphere was great in the top tier, everybody standing and singing for 90minutes.

RSB Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 What a joke of a day. I actually kept track of Giggs today - 6:1 was his ratio of silly little flicks attempted to those which came off. Should've started Smudger ahead of him. Referee was an absolute farce; refusing to so much as reprimand any Chelsea players til stoppage time in extra time when we need play to carry on. Blows up late for a foul and brings play back 20 yards when we're 3 vs. 4; and on three seperate occaisions indicates that he's seen Mikel kick on of our lads off the ball, only to take no action. Then has the nerve to give a BS non-free kick for Smudgers perfect tackle on Mikel after getting a kick himself, and lo and behold, the dirty cunner is involved in the buildup for the goal from the resulting free kick. Absolute joke. So many times this season we've been subject to ludicrous officiating, and all in all it's not really cost us, and then today we get this clown Bennett. Really wouldn't've been overly fussed if we went out there, played our hearts out and lost fairly. But to go out there as tentative as we were - though that said, we were a feck sight more willing than them for the better part of the match - Cole and Robben for about 15 minutes til Dazzle latched onto him aside, all they did was knock it around their back four before launching a ball at Drogba which more often than not went out of play. Then to have a goal that, while it is feasible that the ref could have some trouble giving it, could have stood, and then to lost it to that crap, just makes me sick. Same way as I felt after the League Cup semi a couple of years ago, after Duff 'scored' that indirect free kick. Still, ultimately, we've got our trophy back. The rent boys can have their pots.

davidbowie Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 The teams passing was utter *****, but everytime they put something together it would get pulled up by the ref on some ridiculous decision (we had 3 on 2 once and he pulled it back for a united free kick. Madness). Plus the whole goal not given fiasco. Fletcher was useless, he's like Carrick except Carrick actually helps in defence and sometimes attack, Fletcher just sits in the middle doing nothing. Chelsea scored their goal after the ref pulls up Smith even though he cleanly got the ball (perfect slide tackle). Our set pieces were utter crap. We made maybe one chance out of all of them, mainly because Giggs forgot how to hit a corner properly. It's strange, the way we played you could easily say we did not deserve to win, but then you have the various incidents and reffing, and you could say we did deserve to win, or maybe just lose on pens.

kingcav Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 why on earth do you let ronaldo take your freekicks? and I'm not having a dig here, but do you think ronaldo can be quiet / under perform in big games? I know chelsea doubled up on him and stuff, but I can't recall (off the top of my head) him really shining in a big game. he was quiet in milan too (although I guess you were all ****). but it just seems that if you look at someone like kaka, he was massively influential in milan but also at old trafford, whereas ronaldo was comparatively quiet.

Confused Clarity Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 He was outstanding against Roma though Matt. He was quiet in the game yesterday and against Milan. But as you say, he had players doubling up on him with regularity. The Top attacking players are always likely to find it more difficult against a top defensive player and vice versa. Just because a top attacking player struggles to make an impact on occassion against a top defender or a top defender gets to made like an idiot against a top attacking player, it doesnt make them bad players. What should happen, if they're top players is to go back, look at the video, figure out what caused them to have the problems and try and learn from it. Kaka is 3 years older than Cristiano, has more experience and probably came up against similar problems himself as a younger player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
