I was only able to listen to the game on the radio. I didn't post until I had read all the other posts on here, and watched MOTD. Although the highlights didn't do us justice from what I listened to. Have to say I was having trouble believing just what was going on. Lucas out tackling, out passing, out thinking the Chelsea mid field ? I am a Lucas doubter of the highest degree. I have not thought he was worthy of the shirt for a big part of his performances. I hold my hand up and say he was awesome yesterday, my MOTM. Mabey he operates far better going forward than he does as merely a defensive mid fielder. He certainly showed his class when I least expected it. Torres' goals, the first, just quality first touch and very clever finish to out wit cech and terry. The second, nooooo, you just don't score from there! Not against reputably one of europes top keepers. F**k off...This is NANDO! Just breathtaking. Every other player on the pitch in Red, even if the footy wasn't always top drawer, The effort and passion was something that has been missing from our game for long periods, now it seems it's back, and needs to stay. What a difference. Even when chelsea piled on the pressure a bit in the second half, we coped with it reasonably well. The one that went under Pepe and came back off the bar was due to Pepe getting something on it! Every one on top of their game, not seen that for a while. Need to keep that going now, three games which we are capable of taking 9 points from as long as we don't go back to being to defensive.
Was that Roy's game plan? or was it something that just transpired due to the opposition. Give him the benefit of the doubt for now, let's see the system he plays against Wigan on Wed. Massive result, still grinning from ear to ear.
