The midweek/weekend games thread

[Leeds Spur]

But only one is playing!

Yes. That's my point.

 

[Midfield Maestro]

sometimes, when I read what you say, I really wonder if you understand how football matches work.

I'll bet you could rollerskate across Tescos car park at 5pm on a sunday

but I'll bet you cant rollerskate at the same speed through Waterloo station at 5pm on a Friday.

:ross:

i dont know how teams in the past played 50+ games a season and with smaller squads....modern footballers are too pampered and mollycoddled

The game is so different now that the comparison barely holds up. Maybe we should go for a steak lunch and a long walk before big games still too.

 

[Kingdawson]

So obvious what's gonna happen.

 

[markysimmo]

he is playing a deep defensive role

yeh in one of CFC's back 10 tonight

 

[Jordinho]

Shots: 20 - 4
On target: 2 -1

I know winning is everything, but if Chelsea are able to score on the break only because they have decided to do nothing but defend with everyone behind the ball for most of the game, it seems a bit of a hollow victory.

Malouda comes on to give them a bit of extra pace on the break.

 

[Kingdawson]

Is Ribery for real with this performance? What a total waster.

 

[Midfield Maestro]

well done contento

 

[El Guepardo]

Drogba is loaded with talent, too bad his attitude a lot of the time but whichever clubs ends with him next season will have done well.

 

[Tottenham Dave]

This is starting to wind me up now.

 

[Jordinho]

Wow, for a second there I thought Neuer was about to cost them the match.

 

[paxtonwolf]

The good old Inter Two Bob cup...

Thats the one, we got a right good hiding too

him and Ade would be a beast partnership

 

[ringo]

Great bit of covering from Drogba...

 

[Jordinho]

Both teams expecting extra time here the way they're holding back on their substitutions.

 

[Spaceman]

ANOTHER corner

 

[El Guepardo]

I hate to say this but perhaps this is how we should play against Manchester United and Emirates Marketing Project next season? If we can play defensively, stop them playing and pick up at least a point off of each them next season then it will be an improvement on this season's return.

I would love to think that we could attack them and win but that tactic hasn't seemed so good lately. Perhaps when we have a better squad, players with better winning mentality and Lady Luck is sat on our subs bench.

its about attitude, strength of character. If players are told to believe in the prize, they will overcome any challenge in order to achieve it. extra games, playing on Thursday then sunday, so what???

Chelski has been playing for penalties for 75 mins though...
