Ibime:I didn't want to laugh but heck. . .LOL ![]() We were simply supposed to dictate the pace of the game. . .scare them a lil bit. Rush them like we blitzed Barca in 05. Carlo approach was wrong. So was yours. Why wait till the closing stages of a game, knowing fully well, that was what your opponent will try to do? |
Re: Chelsea Fans Thread : Winners of the FA Cup And League Winners 09/10 by ritchboy(m): 11:31pm On Mar 16, 2010 |
Sneijder is a KING of midfield play. . . To think Madrid sold him to accomodate a washed up Kaka makes you question the sanity of some folks. I hope he has been able to show Ibime what it means to DICTATE a game from midfield, not the rubbish Lampard does week in week out. When nateevs said Chelsea should score 3 early goals, i thought there was a button in the directors box Roman would push to make it happen, hahahaha. |

FBS: Did I not correctly predict Inters formation and team sheet (to the exact detail) yesterday?. . . . you were talking of attacking Inters flanks and exposing them brutally, but I already told you that our avenue for attack will be negated by Inter playing a 4-3-3. I have already seen how the match will pan out, knowing Chelseas weaknesses. If we had gone all out at the start of the match, the game would have been over in 20 minutes. Our best chance of victory was a 1-0 win. I was already of the opinion that we had lost the tie due to our gung-ho attitude in the first leg. Our only avenue of attack is with our fullbacks. . . . to go gung-ho means leaving Mikel, Terry and Alex against Eto, Milito and Pandev (+ Sneijder). . . . and even the way we played, we gave em all kinds of space. . . . I would have preferred to see a genuine 4-5-1, rather than the Christmas tree we employed today. . . . you would have noticed that Malouda and Anelka were tucked in rather than on the flank. . . . you would have also noticed that it was Lampard and Ballacks job to mark Maicon and Xanetti rather than Malouda and Anelka. With Mikel and Terry in your backline, you are guaranteed that any attempt to leave only 3 men behind the ball will result in disaster on the counterattack. . . . |

i just hope we won't end up wit FA cup(or nothing) We just have to retain that for whatever it is worth. With luck and luck only, we'll win the EPL. If MU and gaynners meet with some sudden run of bad luck. |

Sneijder dominating the game was simply a function of how the tie was balanced. . . . Sneijder had all the space he needed. . . . I didnt see y'all bleating about Sneijder in the first leg where we controlled the midfield. . . . I use the word controlled to indicate that we had possession in midfield because of the system Inter played. I dont know how a fool can take one match in isolation to judge a midfielders ability. Admittedly, Lampard has been off form since his virus, but whilst Lampard had the tactical responsibility of tracking Maicon, Sneijder was given space to do whatever he needed with Mikel not being sharp enough to close him down. There was so much space behind our fullbacks where Sneijder kept dropping easy passes. Even when he received the ball, Mikel was slow to put him under pressure straight away. When Lamps or Ballack receive the ball, was there any space behind the Inter fullbacks to ping passes? Inter were defending on their 18 yard box whilst Chelsea were defending close to the halfway line and relying on offsides. It doesnt take a genius to know that any midfielder with such space to pass into will shine. Whilst I dont doubt Sneijders passing ability, I would take a midfielder who has copped me 16 goals and 12 assists over one who has copped 6 goals and a handful of assists. The game was set-up for Sneijder to shine. . . its that simple. |

Jalether when i say Lampard is the most overrated player on earth they think i'm kiddin'. . .unfortunately your comrade Ibime thinks Lampard dictates play. That is an insult of immeasurable magnitude to the likes of Fabregas, Iniesta, Xavi, Sneijder, etc. |
Re: Chelsea Fans Thread : Winners of the FA Cup And League Winners 09/10 by debosky(m): 12:22am On Mar 17, 2010 |
Ibime: It's not that simple - how many players can create space to pass as often as that against bruisers like Mikel and Ballack? The boy was excellent and was simply at the top of his game.
I don't understand this - why was Lampard given the responsibility of tracking Maicon? If he tried to do so, it must be because Malouda kept getting caught out of position.
I don't agree - the space behind the fullbacks wasn't the issue as such, it was the naivety of the fullbacks who kept being drawn into the center. Given that Eto'o had been playing wide all game, it was criminal of Ivanovic to lose sight of someone behind him. The prime flaw there is that Ivanovic is not really a fullback but a CB. Easy passes? I wonder why the only comparable pass by Chelski ALL GAME was one by Drogba to Anelka - those passes weren't easy, they were QUALITY.
It depends. . . . Lamps is virtually an auxiliary striker with Chelski while Schneider isn't so they aren't directly comparable. Chelski were out thought in midfield that's why Schneider could hurt them over and over again. I don't know what Carlotti was doing on the bench, seeing Schneider make pass after pass and not telling Mikel to simply stick to him like glue, or rejigging and pulling Malouda back to give more bodies in the middle. |

@Dayokanu Hold It!! Don't post How Market? In 50 Languages! The reason why they have been unable to answer your question is simple They are on strike! You know most of their fans are in the Abattoirs and Flea markets and Meat and Pepper sellers are actually on strike so logically they cannot answer your question |

Abeg, when people talk about midfielders they should stop talking about those hulking auxilliary strikers like Lampard and Gerrard, all they can do is to flex muscle all over the pitch and make late runs into the box to score some goals. Gerrard is the only one who adds a bit of technicality to his game and he still needed a deep lying playmaker like Xabi Alonso to achieve anything. Why exactly do people think they don't work well in the 3 lions? The British establishment will have a lot to thank Arsenal for when the likes of Wilshere and Ramsey blossom (if they don't end their careers before then by breaking their legs all in the name of their silly English physical game), only problem is that the whole FA technical department might need to be overhauled to even use them properly as Wilshere's International youth performances have shown. |
Re: Chelsea Fans Thread : Winners of the FA Cup And League Winners 09/10 by ritchboy(m): 12:56am On Mar 17, 2010 |
Ibime oh, so Sneijder was bound to dominate the game based on the tactics deployed by both teams? Do you think if Lampard was in Sneijder's shoes tonite, he would have done half of what Sneijder did? Not in this lifetime! Apart from his sublime passing and pin point deliveries, his exquisite touches under pressure and in tight areas demonstrated his majestic technique no English footballer comes close to having, let alone Lampard. Even in the first leg when Chelsea "controlled" the game, Lampard was still abjectly incapable of dictating the game to any degree even remotely emulating what we've seen from Wesley. And you say you would take Lampard over Sneijder based on stats. . . The last time i checked, Iniesta has scored just one goal all season. Maybe Ibime would take Lampard over Iniesta as well. I used to think you were a half-decent analyst, but ur opinion of Lampard puts you on the same level as Dyabman and Binghinya ![]() ![]() |
Re: Chelsea Fans Thread : Winners of the FA Cup And League Winners 09/10 by Ibime(m): 1:08am On Mar 17, 2010 |
ritchboy: Given the amount of space Sneijder had today, I dare say Lamps would have provided an assist and more. . . he would have scored. . . .Mikel wouldnt be able to track him. . . . I have seen Lamps put many through passes when the opponents are on the halfway line. . . . . . . What Sneijder did today is nothing I havent seen many times. . . he made umpteen such passes last season. [flash=425,344] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMaDBlgp2zY&hl=en_GB&fs=1&[/flash] Its easy to make through passes against a team that defends on the halfway line. How come Sneijder has been unable to replicate these passes over the last 2 months where Inter have played umpteen 0-0 draws? Im not saying Lamps is a better passer than Sneijder. Sneijder is better at continuity possession. . .heck, Denilson is better at continuity possession. . . . the fact is, Sneijder does not play so many through balls if Chelsea does not defend on the halfway line. |
