birch-chorley Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Yet again this is a load of bullshit! 4 of the 5 goals today came down our left hand side! A year ago Robinson was many on heres player of the year, this year 80% of the goals we have conceded have come down his side(and his fault). You can blame Petrov all you want but he did his job today(marking boswinga), when we conceded goals the ball came from the centre (not petrovs job) over the back of robbo and we where done. We all had are list of priorities in the summer and left back was not on the top of anyones list! Only mystic meg could have predicted Robinson going from a prem player to a pub player in 6 months. Everyone bar Robinson, Bogdan and Ngog did there defensive job well today. How many times did David Luiz run the ball up the field? If a centre mid lad comes out to meet him then either Lampard or Mata is free in the middle, Its Ngogs job as lone striker to snap at the heels of the centre halves. For me after we let the second in we should have gone from 4-5-1 to 5-4-1 with 3 centre halves and two full backs so if the full back gets beat and a centre half has to cover him then we still have two centre halves in the box to defend the trouble. Fuck 4-5-1 against the best we need 5-4-1 only becaause our left back is a pub player and we need one player just to cover his arse.
birch-chorley Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 things learnt from today.. Start Petrov on the right, and Gardener on the left, Gardener can track back and help out Robinson.. Better still start Gardener at Left Back Zat Knight has to start, There are some Knight haters on here but after today its clearly not him whos the weak link.. he came on and played well, granted he was involved in their fifth goal. Steinsson was a joke with the first goal.. man marking Sturridge, then turning round to face the other way when the corner was took.. WTF ?? Pretty much every goal comes down our left side.. Surely Coyle has to see this..!! Why.. why did Luiz get so much room !!! Why take off Ngog and Gardener.. is there just me that doesnt get this (I know RG was tiring towards the end but KD was tired at half time). Bogdan had a better second half than first half.. maybe very very nervous ?? I think there has been some major issues behind the scenes, all the players were huggy touchy before kick off, but trying to make them work as a team this way just wont work. Hang on, 4 of the 5 goals came down robinsons side but even if he had a concrete wall in front of him (instead of petrov)it wouldnt have made a difference. The damage came when the Chelsea players in the centre mid nocked it wide right and past Robinson and he was done for pace! Nothing to do with Petrov today, Robbo is just shit.
Guest Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Luiz got so much space because we played 451 but didn't actually know how to deal with the spare Centre half bombing forward. Which was basically comical. They could have played the Benny Hill tune all the way through the first half, to Coyle's selection and substitutions and SKD's MOM
HomerJay Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Birch. To blame robbo full stop it just utter utter shite. Yes he was terrible, but there are 10 other players on that pitch, none of which provided any protection against sturridges and bosongwa Did you notice how Chelsea centre halves played today? How does a single striker split a pair of defenders playing that far apart? Its impossible. No I don't know how you stop it, but at least I actually noticed what was happening. All you have done is blame the east target yet again Edited October 2, 2011 by HomerJay
tylswhite Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 I find it insane that Muamba was on the bench today. Gardner was anonymous for most of the game imo. All teams are bombing at Robinson because they know he is shite as fook. If Gardner is going to play it needs to be left back because Robinson is way out of his depth. Ngog had some good touches today and looks decent if we can actually get the ball to him somewhere in the same postcode as the opposition goal.
birch-chorley Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Luiz got so much space because we played 451 but didn't actually know how to deal with the spare Centre half bombing forward. Which was basically comical. Defensivley against one of the best teams in eurpoe its Ngogs job as the one up front to hit him. SKD gets some stick but if he was the point man today then David Luiz is not getting away with half as much as he did. Ngog is good going forward but he needs to learn that he plays for Bolton now and he has a job to do defensivley. Edited October 2, 2011 by birch-chorley

IMO you are wrong pal, if the Chelsea centre half is running the ball 30 yards who should attack him? If any midfielder / defender leaves there man to go at him then luiz will just slip the ball to the free man that they have just left. At the end of the day aginat Chelsea its Ngogs job to hit Luiz. If SKD was the lone striker the Luiz would have been clattered and he woauld have thought twice about taking the piss.
Casino Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Ngog's job as the one up front to hit him? What both the centre halves? ngog who was on a yellow card for 'hitting' luiz perhaps as well birch aint running the club Edited October 2, 2011 by Casino
birch-chorley Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Ngog's job as the one up front to hit him? What both the centre halves? How many times did jon terry walk the lenght of the field? Ngog should attack which ever centre half is walking the ball 50 yards up the pitch.
birch-chorley Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 ngog who was on a yellow card for 'hitting' luiz perhaps as well birch aint running the club Ok not hit him but put some pressure on him! is that alot to ask?
glennboltw Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 They could have played the Benny Hill tune all the way through the first half.
HomerJay Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Paraphrasing We were out thought, again, today Coyle doesn't seem to be a thinker, tactician or strategist Agree 100%
Casino Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Ok not hit him but put some pressure on him! is that alot to ask? did you not see how they played centre backs 80 yards apart the 2 of em and cech all capable of playing first time passes as quick as ngog closed em down they moved the ball on if he must 'blame' somebody, it probably has to be pratley ngog cant close down 3 of em
ex_midlandwhite Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 thank you its reassuring to know theres at least a couple of us can see it his stats when 'he was shit' against norwich showed what he gives the team ps are you shit hot at ping pong yet There's a few more in my area, including me, with the two of you as well. Though I'm also in the camp that we have far more players to worry about before we get on to Petrov as well. We'd barely create a chance without him.
Globetrotter Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 ngog who was on a yellow card for 'hitting' luiz perhaps as well birch aint running the club It was noticeable that when Chelsea had the ball deep at the back Terry and Luiz where in full back positions. When Terry had the ball Ngog tried to close down, Terry switched to the unmarked Luiz who then charged forward with no closing down. Can't see how that is the fault of our lone stiker .... (maybe, just maybe these were tactics adopted by AVB because he knows we are not currently closing down)

All you have done is blame the east target yet again In the firat half how many times did Chelsea attack down our right? None because they did there homework on our goals conceded, Everything came down the there right. From where I was sat Boswinga didnt do much and that was the man Petrov was man marking when we defended. Most the goals came from deep centre over Robinsons shoulder, Boyata had to cover him leaving a massive hole in the middle. Simple as fuck! Robinson has gone from half decent to a bad pub player in 6 month and we couldnt have expected that. In hindsight I would have liked us to play 5-4-1 with 3 centre halves so when one is covering a full back you still have two in the middle to clear the trouble.
HomerJay Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 To be fair, playing like takes a lot of confidence in the defender not losing the ball. Luiz was basically leaving ngog one on one with Terry. If we did it and Cahill lost the ball with boyata on one with drogba, it would be schoolboy football.
birch-chorley Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 did you not see how they played centre backs 80 yards apart the 2 of em and cech all capable of playing first time passes as quick as ngog closed em down they moved the ball on if he must 'blame' somebody, it probably has to be pratley ngog cant close down 3 of em 80 yards is bullshit! If you are asking a centre midfileder to close down a cetre half then who is picking up his man? We where crying out for 4-5-1 on here and now we are saying you need a centre half to close down a centre half. We should have had 3 centre halves today, 5-4-1! (hindsight)
HomerJay Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 541, 451, 442 Not a clue which is best really But I'm not paid to know. I think we can all see there's lots wrong but none of us can really have any idea what the answer is. (as much as some believe they do) My hopes are just pinned on winning against shitter teams
