First chance I've had to get on here after a late night on the M6!

I was fairly disappointed with Chelsea in a sense. Their keeper looked inferior to Wes, sideshow Bob threw himself on the floor at every given opportunity, their captain similar. The little number 10 showed a few touches but the game largely passed him by. Their number 22 was dreadful. Number 9 looked alright, perhaps could do with a spell out on loan - he'd look decent enough in a lower-end Championship team.

All joking aside, I guess they never really needed to get out of 2nd gear. That said, we played as well as could be asked. Wes was solid, I was impressed by Nathan Thompson. McEveley was decent at the back, but far too slow to make decisions or play passes in attack. Luongo and Kasim were class in the centre of the park. First half I thought Ajose and N'Guessan were a bit absent, though the latter did come into the game more after Ranger went off - shame he couldn't grab a goal. Finally, a mention for El Gabbas. He didn't have much chance to impress, but one thing he did well was to run across the backline into space - something that nobody else had done much of all match, and that really could have helped us have more of a cutting edge.

Great to see the CG full again, and with the extra seats too. The atmosphere was great, the new screens look smart.... but more importantly, the performance on the pitch gives us plenty of hope for the rest of the season.

See you all at Preston Wink

Yep, because every song sung at football must be a wholly accurate reflection of the literal truth. We should all be thoroughly ashamed of ourselves.
Heh.. Was thinking this as well..

One thing I haven't seen mentioned, and I noticed this on Saturday as well -

Who the fuck gave Rockin' Robin a drum?! The feathered fucknugget was using it to try and get singing going at the start of the second half. That wants nipping in the bud, sharpish. The CG has been, and should remain to be, a happily percussion free zone.

Managed to complete a night shift without hearing anything about the game. Just got up and watched it, whilst feeling v tired. Thought we looked assured without threatening on the ball. Chelsea didn't seem to get out of second gear, but picked up the pace on the counter. Torres looked very good!

- Disappointed that that Ranger picked up a knock.
- Shame N'Guessan couldn't stay onside more.
- Pritchard looks best when he's out wide.
- Kasim is a modern day Ray Wilkins. We look vulnerable when he is caught up field.
- Couldn't see what El Gabbas brought to the team when he came on - Camera not catching any off the ball work that has been mentioned.
- No threat from us up front.
- Tried to play it too narrow down the left in the last 20 mins.
- Poor corners.
- Too much shooting from 40 yards.

The thing was missing for me, was that in a Cup tie against higher league opposition, you need a bit more urgency and a bloody and guts approach. We didn't show that.

Yeah the blood and guts thing was mentioned by some of my friends watching last night. They were surprised we didn't really get in their faces more.

There was only the odd good hard tackle. We aren't that type of team now.

And when we did come most of the time it was blown as a free kick regardless of how much of the ball and little of the man our player got. Classic premiership favouritism and it's pointless losing multiple players through suspension through it.

That can't possibly be the case or otherwise we wouldn't be able to sing that "We're by far the greatest team/The World has ever seen" (at least not without one of the Chelsea literalists picking us up on it).

Half the midfield are also skirting on the edge of suspension so that might have had an impact.

 "You've had your day out- now fuck off home!".


 
Am sure that could be put to use

Just watched the tv rerun
N'Guessen offside by a yard easily on the "goal" and the diving header

Oh and as for inaccurate songs

Ummm no

Any one help me? I was interviewed on points west before the game yesterday. Frightened the shit out on my colleague who lives near WSM and was on his settee dieing of manflu.

Anyone know where I can get to see my 30 seconds of glory?  Not available on iplayer sadly.
