Well, the months of November and December have never been kind to us, but this is just cruel. I am feeling so despaired right now, I don't know why this is happening to us right now. Maybe the fans are right after all, maybe Rafa should leave. He's not the kind of messiah that can bring CFC from a deep sunken situation to rise and fight for glory again. He's maybe just the opposite, at least, in the eyes of the fans. But what concerns me now, is the fact that our players are unable to hold on to the win, not even scoring a second goal.
There's not much to discuss about the line ups. Just slight rotations the manager had to make. On the first half, we pretty much dominated the game. It was pretty obvious so far. We got the goal, good vision by Moses, good run by Torres, and definitely good finish by Mata. Throughout the half we kept attacking, and we had the chance to score the second goal, but we didn't. The second half was pretty much a free fall. It was one of the worst performances ever. We just sank down there. We didn't put up much of fight, physically we kept going down, and credit to West Ham for fighting back with such intensity.
There were some excellent performers, such as Moses, Mata & Azpilicueta as well. And Cech obviously made excellent saves throughout, I can't imagine the scoreline without his saves. But the team collectively wasn't fighting enough in the second half. Torres obviously messed up several chances, and his confidence is not building at all.
I certainly cannot explain what is going on in the team right now. Maybe the fans aren't giving enough support to the manager? Maybe the manager is at fault for losing? Maybe we are missing a leader in the squad? I can no longer supply thoughts or ideas concerning the tactical & technical mistakes in the club, but I can be superstitious and I wanted to believe that JT & Lampard will return as heroes and leaders and kings to unite the squad and bring us out out of this dark days, but it's just a piece of hope in my mind, and I guess all we can do as fans is just to give continuous support, and hope that light will shine again in the club. #CFC
