For crying out loud. Is it still a yellow card for kicking he ball away... In 2015
He should be punched for the stupidity. You're chasing the game and you kick the ball away, wasting your own time and helping Chelsea break the game up even more.
What did he waste, a few seconds. Pitiful that a player can be sent off for that. He was frustrated. It happens.
Guessing three defenders proper, Cedric and Targett in more advanced roles, not really sure what he has planned for the attack, seems a very defensive line up. Only Mane and Pelle could really be called naturally attacking players
So another disastrous game for Terry?
Time to hang up your boots matey and give the youngsters a chance
He'll be fine again once Chelsea sort their defence out collectively.
I've been saying for years that in a compact defence, sat deep, Terry's as good as they come. Once he starts getting isolated he's not even half the player. JM as good as admitted it in his post match interview after the City game - once Chelsea were behind and chasing the game they had to push up and that meant Terry had to come off for Zouma.
I mentioned earlier, I've never seen a Mourinho side look so vulnerable as they have in these first few games. They're far too open in midfield and as a result Terry's being exposed one on one where even 10 years ago he would have struggled. I'm sure this open style isn't by design and once it's sorted Terry will be comfortable again.
