Chelsea v SAINTS: Match Thread


Saint Scott

Recommended Posts

Sadly the paucity of our squad means that any chance of doing a QPR and getting something from this game was an entirely unrealistic aspiration.

 

Having a £12M flair player who is too sh*te away from home to make the first XI is a sad indictment too.

 

The thing is, I believe that Gaston would be better in this game than Davis.

 

Chelsea are giving us acres to play in and the one player we have who can use it well is on the bench.

 

I also think Gaston wouldn't have cleared the ball directly to a goal-scorer, but what do I know!

This Saints team cost about £12m how much did the Chelsea team cost?

That hasn't stopped other teams beating them or getting a point

 

Or it didn't stop Norwich beating man u,or villa beating Liverpool, every other club seems able to nick the odd win against the big clubs

Guly & Davis start and we leave Lambert & Ramirez on the bench. Nice one, Nigel. You really are a clueless ****! People keep going on about how our goalkeepers have cost us points this season but how many points have Nigel's negative tactics cost us?

 

Absolutely. The only way to have got anything from this game was to play all our best attackers. Nigel should have gone for a 1-0-0-10 formation. That would almost definitely have worked.

I guess it's nights like tonight you remember, we were League One two years ago. Chelsea have been Premier League for some time now with years of investment behind them (something like £180m in the starting line up) By that reason, we've done okay :)

 

Worth remembering. Luis won't make mistakes like Jos because he is worth twenty times Jos's value...

 

Fact of life, the higher your player salaries the further up the league you are...

 

Give us five years to win the CL ;)

Turning out every bit as hopeless as we expected, Probably will end up as bad as the FA Cup score, with accompanying dent to new-found though mis-placed post-Villa confidence.

 

Our CB solution is now 8 months overdue and counting.......

so very,very true.

very dismayed with our transfer policy under Adkins.signed,or got loans in that are just not up to it....considering how many times we were told we were preparing for the premier league.

We're in the premier league, so he's obviously done a lot right on the transfer front.

If you really think Chelsea were going to lose 3 games in a row at home to teams mid table and below. You are very much mistaken

 

I am one of the worst for having a pop at the team. But come on. Away to Chelsea, played well.... Not sure what any of you expect. Hooiveld is never a prem CB. But we have done well

Though tbf Chelsea have thrashed lesser teams or beaten them comfortably at home more often than losing to them.

Why the hell would you not play Ramirez in this game?? Surely your most expensive, supposedly "best" player should be used against strong competition?!

 

Sometimes you need to think about self-preservation in games like these, and he's not looking like a good traveller at the mo.

 

After the weekend he's been rightfully dropped anyway.

Because he has been utterly terrible away from home

 

Somehow, managed to be one of the worst players on the pitch that also had villa players who we have never heard of

Plus carrying a knock from the weekend. Not worth risking him at all.
