Chelsea Question

by Boris Mon Mar 21, 2011 2:31 pm

Can anyone who watched the match on Sky tell me who the commentaor and 'pundits' were and what was said during and after the match.
The reason I ask is because I watched the match a on a stream that alternated between Russian and Spanish and was forced to draw my own conclusions. I saw City lcontain a Chelsea side that are getting back to their best and I saw us visabily tire just before they scored their first. I also saw Silva, Milner and Yaya bombing forward only for Dzeko to break the move down at the last gasp.
What I didn't see and I'm going off what I've read from our own fans on 606 was a totally negative display with no heart or ambition.

The more the game went on, the deeper we were defending.I thought we did ok first half. My only gripe would be i think Mancini missed a trick in when they brought on Drogba and Anelka, we should have thrown on Johnson and Balotelli to try and curbe their attacking prowess, by doing a bit of our own.

I know none of us are happy, but ffs, its like suicide watch on 606, some of them really need to chill out. Fucking same old ones doing the moaning, they need to change the bleeding record, we are all pissed off, but all the negativity just lines it up for all the wums.

The problem for me is that it was so obvious that they were fucked after an hour(not unusual for yaya)that even Frank Clark would have spotted it.If we are kind to shankly Mancini we could say that up to then chelsea hadn't looked like scoring with fat Frank taking potshots from 40 yards the closest they were getting so making a change wasn't justified.The truth of the matter is that yaya and Djeko were so ineffectual that it was like 9 v 11 and conceding was inevitable to everybody.What exactly do Kidd and twatty platt actually do as they seem to me as much use as a lifebelt made of prayers.

And Balotelli is still a cunt

Well it all seems to go back to this idea of loaning 9 players out in a season when squads are limited to 25. There's no one on the fringes who might breathe a bit of life back into the team apart from possibly AJ or MJ if he reddiscovers his form.

I'm one of the moaning fuckers you have mentioned, i take it?

Yes, i moaned and have done for the past 3 months. We have progressively got worse and worse - more negative, the more we play.

Mancini had a choice at halftime - he clearly saw that they were the better side and it was only through fantastic defending from Micah, Lescott, Kompany and DeJong that we weren't behind.

MANCINI had the opportunity to say "right, we have to suppress the midfield controlling the play".

He could have brought on Johnson or SWP.....or both, including Balotelli if he wanted.............but the problem with Mancini was that he was hoping to hold out for a 0-0 draw as he has done all season against the top teams. The difference against Chelsea was that we looked knackered and slow after 50 minutes, never created anything worthwhile, yet still.......it was almost, fingers crossed attitude towards the game.

Now for somebody who is supposed to be a top manager, one who has been afforded an unlimited budget to bring in players...........that kind of attitude - relying on your defence to hold out for 90 minutes, will not win you a game or ensure it always happens. We have been lucky in the games against Arsenal and United - Chelsea had the firepower and fitness levels to say - you know what..........these cannot cause us any problems - lets bring on Anelka and Drogba...........and what happens? Luiz scored - then Mancini decides to react.

He only reacts to going behind - never to try and enforce a draw or a win.

That's what i moan about - but then i'm a moaning motherfucker! Mad

blueboy, i was referring to moaning fuckers on 606 as the more people moan on there, the more it becomes a wum paradise.

However, you can moan as much as you want on here, you moaning motherfucker.(your words)

Even though i ain't happy, i prefer to not to let it ruin my life, i've had too many years of disappointment and mediocrity with City to let it adversley affect me anymore.

when i said - i take it? i shouldn't have put the ?

it wasn't really meant to be a question towards you - i actually meant....i take it .....as being a moaning fucker!!

moaning motherfucker.............hmmm, might change my name to that....and here's me thinking ive chilled out recently!! Very Happy
