Isn't It Ironic?

#Chelsea 6 - 0 #Arsenal
Match Stats


Isn't it ironic, that on this momentous occasion ( #Wenger #1000th match), playing against the cunt-like manager who labeled Wenger a "specialist in failure."  Mourinho in brilliant cunt-like form also refused to give any credit or acknowledgement to Wenger's 1000th match, and instead insulted Wenger by insinuating Arsenal Football Club deserve all the credit for sticking with Wenger "in the bad moments, and especially when the bad moments were quit a lot."  And after all this, Mourinho's squad then proceeded to go out and destroy Arsenal in the first 20 minutes of the match, and effectively turning Wenger's career milestone into one of the most  forgettable matches in all his 1000 games.  Yep, definitely ironic.

The Good - The combined efforts of Matic and Luiz for Chelsea FC.  The two of them brilliantly controlled the midfield with power, pace, and precision.  They looked like they were playing against an u-21 side, physically intimidating the Arsenal midfield with precise collisions and timely fouls.  Every time an Arsenal midfielder received the ball, Matic and Luiz  aggressively swarmed with pace and power, like when you stick a piece of meat into a fish tank full of piranha's.  Isn't it ironic, that all the qualities these two defensive midfielders possess, (steel, metal, size, strength, pace) are all the same qualities Arsenal supporters have been hopelessly craving since the days of Viera and Gilberto.

The Bad - Arsenal's inability to technically control the ball under pressure, and string a few passes together was atrocious, and a continuation from the last 2 matches.  Every time big clubs play the pressing game against Arsenal, the technical control and quality has not been up to par.  In today's match, Arsenal had too many loose passes, too many loose touches, all of which led to what Chelsea love to do tactically.  When the opportunity presents itself, Chelsea aggressively press, win the ball back, and counter attack at pace, score a goal and sit in their defensive shell, and  wait for the opportunity to do it all again.  Saturday Arsenal played right into Chelsea's counter attacking trap, and gifted them the all 3 points in the first 20 minutes of the match.

Ox's is red card.  Not a lot to say about it, just that Arsenal players continuously do dumb-ass-shit at the worst possible times, during the most important matches.

The tactics chosen were atrocious.  First let me start out with the obvious, Arsenal didn't need to win the match against Chelsea, they just could not afford to loose the match. The game plan for Arsenal should have been the same tactics used in the Tottenham match.  Absorb pressure and catch Chelsea on the counter attack, and maybe, just maybe, nick a goal late.  Chelsea would have gladly obliged and played out a draw, just like in the previous meeting.   Chelsea were always going to play not to loose, they made their intentions very clear by playing two very defensive minded holding midfielders.  The same mistakes Arsenal made away from home against Man City and Liverpool, were the same mistakes made today.  Arsenal came to Stamford Bridge with the assumption of getting all 3 points in splendid fashion.  The same Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea are unbeaten in 76 games, the same Stamford Bridge where Jose Mourinho has never lost.

The Ugly - Jose Mourinho's flagrant lack of respect and unwarranted criticism towards a coaching icon has been disgraceful, and the no handshake at the end of Saturday's match was the icing on the shit cake.

Peace Out,
Blanco
