Talk:Steve Coppell
From Wikifutbol
This was a bad game for chelsea ..we caonnt rely on man u's lip ups to win the EPL we have to take action our selves, if man u slips ups that is none of our concern as long as we are wining it won't matter. I agree that there is still plenty of time to close the gap andeven win the EPL but if man u keep winning and playing the way theu are and if chelsea keep sslipping up like againsta reading ..we gota say goodbye to the trophy. I mean look at the difference from this season and last season we used to kill off opponenets even b4 the match started they knew they were going to lose because of the mere fact that they were playing against chelsea but now b4 the game teams talk about how they are going to bring the champions down. The way i see it is that there is no real problem with the fromation or ythe players we have or the manager. the problem is that the players don't have the motivation and will to win matches like they did i mean it's not like we have trouble findng the net it's the fact that we want to win with the least effort possible with a one goal difference or a last minute scorcher like we have done against everton and wigan. I mean look at arsenal, man u, and liverpool as soon as they score one goal they keep hammering down more goals but us when we score one goal we slack off and give the opponenets a chance to eqaulize then we react. Why do we always REact as opposed to take action and win. We have got some of the biggest names in the industry and we have all the capabilties of being champions, so why aren't we? Obseving from today's game i can say that the team lost it's spark its will to win and demolish opponests and score as much goals as possible this foes not exist inchelsea this season. That is our problem. Players seemed lost today and the on;y players who i think really tried their best where drogba and SWP the rest were slacking off and not giving their usual. Essien who used to be the power source of the team seems lost on the pitch I mean i know his capabalities and remeber the barca game at hoem when he rounded the entire barca midfield..now he just runs around the pitch trying to play his positio which is constantly being changed and plays in a position he does not play best in. Plus it is greatly negative to play ballack and lampard at the same time as it is affecting both players as well as then team negatively. Ballack and lampard have a similar position, similar playing role, and similar capabilties, I mena no offense but both are slow players and having both in the pitch at the same time is bad as opposed to having two speedy wingers and one of them playing offensive midfield in their desired position. Essien should go back to his position of center midfield as that is where i see him playing best. I hope chelsea recover quickly and i have all th confidence in them. This year i hope we geth the EPL and Champions league and laugh in th face of all critics and haters. 7
