One team went forward, the other team parked the bus. Arsenal lacked penetration and could not take the chances they had in Koscielny and Van Persie. What did Chelsea had for show? If those chances went in, Chelsea fans will be bemoaning their defence for a crappy performance. Yet because they held out for a draw, they're now singing praises to their defence and midfield, whilst lambasting their forwards for failing to take advantage of Arsenal's vulnerable defence?
Yet that vulnerable defence in Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny have kept Sturridge and Torres quiet.
Missed opportunities by Arsenal, and now we have Chelsea fans thinking they could have won the game. Good luck with doing the same against Barcelona in the next game
Apart from all the arsenal fans crying about this result.... Torres can never hit his form again IF piece of s**t players like Malouda and Kalou are sending him passes. Sturridge is a one man show that has no ending. Torres needs to play regular with first team. Not make shift attack. Also, another example. KEEP hitting THE POST AND crying.... In the end YOU still SUCK! Instead of crying about luck, ask your strikers why they couldn't finish. Chelsea was really unlucky that Arsenal got those clear chances.... Only if the defender was in right place. SUCH BAD LUCK!
We all know he can shoot and score goals, but if you're not doing it and you're consistently proving that you can no longer do so, you're no longer good.
If a toaster oven doesn't toast bread very well, but it used to make good toast, is it still a good toaster? No. Horrible analogy with some logical flaws, but hey I tried
Although that comment sounds really harsh, I kinda agree with you. Sturridge and Kalou can't help Torres, and to be honest with you, he isn't really helping himself. Don't get me wrong, I love this club, but what I would love more is if we won more. The only way to do that is with a mildly consistent striker. We can't just pick whoever is in "form" for 1-2 games and call them quality. Drogba is not himself anymore, Torres has the same problem, except he is younger and really has no excuse anymore. I want the best for Torres but he's not bringing the best to Chelsea. Transfer window please
Arsenal were unlucky to hit the post twice, chelsea didn't have any chances whatsoever. Please don't lecture Arsenal about their 'lack of attacking talent'
Plenty of people talking with no football experience.
It takes more than one person to create those goals.
Look at the corner set piece, do you see how Terry was positioned strategically in there behind torres? Do you see how every attack has to be well planned and trained?
If Kalou and Sturridge can't pass, Torres will always have to be the one to pass. That means he will not be getting the goals
I think we have been "drowsy" since the Wigan game and we should have don better against Chelsea and Wigan. Chelsea did really well defensively so did our back 4. But both teams played really poorly upfront
The only thing that made this result more bearable is the fact Spurs lost at QPR. Otherwise a lame game and a mediocre performance. But I must say Koscielny's performance today just shows how much we missed him last couple of games, that last ditch tackle on Sturridge was gritty and tenacious
