View Full Version : For both goals the defensive line is far too deep.

If Koscielny had held the line Torres would've been offside for the first goal. He's so worried about Torres he doesn't attack the ball. Both Torres and Koscielny get the touch inside the 6 yard box which should never be allowed to happen. Either the keeper comes for them or the defenders attack the ball. Neither of which happened.

that demanded excellent defending, which we couldn't do. A more important aspect is that we gave away two freekicks in good positions, and in at least the second case, it was due to sloppy passing.

Laurent had to deal with it and didn't. Mind you the attempt to save the Torres effort when he was offside was embarrassing

We're going forward, Arteta loses the ball in a sloppy manner in a very dangerous situation, Chelsea counter attack and we are off balance. Torres could very well have scored had the Verme not brought him down.

It is obviously not Artetas fault that we f*ck things up on the free kick, where Koscielny looks like a fackin attacker.

I just thought we were poor, on a par with the Olympiakos performance almost though against a much higher standard of opposition.

I thought we played quite well, definitely didn't deserve to lose

rather than Chase Torres like a demented puppy, the danger is minimal. **** defending from him

TV had come up for it, we took it short and never delivered it into the box. TV stayed and stayed before eventually sprinting back when it was too late. His tackle was made after a 60 yard sprint.

I'm choosing to blame Senderos in advance.
