After reviewing the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons (links can be found at the bottom), I decided to travel further back in time to review the 2011/12 season. This was a season of two halves. André Villas-Boas took charge of the majority of this season until his sacking in March of 2012, where he was replaced by second in command and fan-favorite (and former Chelsea player), Roberto Di Matteo. What followed, was something special. Let's find out what the best/worst matches and general highs/lows were from this season. submitted by AbhimanuGoyal to chelseafc [link] [comments] P.S. If you are a newer fan, you do not want to miss this season! Quick recap of where we were in 2011:
Chelsea 3-5 Arsenal: Yes, you heard it right, a team hardly knew what it was like to lose at SB, conceded 5 goals to Arsenal, including goals from Andre Santos, a ridiculous goal from Theo Walcott and a hattrick from in-form Robin Van Persie. Arsenal completely destroyed Chelsea's high line. Shock double loss to Liverpool at SB: In November, we lost 2-1 at home to an under-par Liverpool side, which included a rare piece of brilliance from FULLBACK Glen Johnson in the 87th minute. Chelsea suffered their first back to back home defeat in the league since Roman took over in 2003. What made this worse, is a week later we would lose at home AGAIN, to Liverpool as they knocked us out of the Carling Cup (which they would end up winning). Liverpool were NOT fun to face in 2010 and 2011, we lost to them countless times. It was also some of their worst built teams which made it all the more worse.
Napoli 3-1 Chelsea, CL KO: Napoli's front 3 of Cavani, Lavezzi, and Hamsik were probably borderline world-class, and were having good individual seasons. Chelsea actually went infront this game through Mata but were then ripped apart. Criticisms fell on Luiz, Cahil, MRLSH, and of course the on-going saga with the old guard and AVB, as guys like Lampard, Cole, Essien, Torres were all benched for this game. Cole did come on and make a now-iconic clearance off the line to deny Napoli going 4-1, which they deserved.
Chelsea 2-1 Benfica (3-1 AGG) UCL, QF: Benfica were up next after Napoli. Benfica was a dark horse, having already knocked out last years CL finalist Machester United, Chelsea went into the second leg at home with a slender but brilliant 1-0 lead, which they got through an underrated Ramires-Torres assist to Kalou (who really shone in the second half of the season). Chelsea took the lead early through Lampard penalty and should have killed it if not for an incredible miss from Ramires. Benfica got one back and it set up a very tense last 10 minutes finish to the game because a Benfica goal would mean Chelsea were knocked out. ENTER MRLSH and THAT iconic goal on the break in the 90th, the one where he should have maybe passed but instead scores a screamer, and celebrates like only he can. Shame he only stuck around for a season, he was a cult hero.
Chelsea beating Bayern in the Champions League Final: Bayern didn't win the league this year and all their marbles were in this basket. If that was not enough, the final was being played at their home ground, which is such a rarity. Add to that, Chelsea had many key players missing through suspension including Ivanovic, MRLSH, Ramires, and of course Chelsea's Captain John Terry. RDM's deployment of Ryan Bertrand on the left-wing surprised everyone, but it was a masterstroke, as he and Cole kept Robben at bay. Luckily for us, Gomez had a bad night, but Chelsea were resilient in their defending, with standout performances from Mikel, Cahill, and Luiz (both of the latter playing injured). Chelsea didn't really threaten at all this game sadly, and Muller would eventually put Bayern ahead in the 82nd minute, only for him to be taken off shortly after for a defensive change. Enter Torres who did inject some spark into Chelsea and showed directness, winning a corner in the 88th, which Mata delivered and Drogba scored. This header is criminally underrated, only Drogba could score from that location against the best keeper in the world. Game went into ET, where Drogba gave up a penalty when he fouled Ribery, Cech saved Robben's penalty, and the game went to a shootout. It's amazing that Chelsea not only won the shootout against a German team (notoriously good at penalties) but won it after missing their first penalty and Bayern scoring their first three (one of which was by a keeper). Luiz, Lampard, Cole with crucial penalties, and Drogba of course sealed it after Cech saved Bayern's last two spot-kicks.
Other notes from this season: https://preview.redd.it/4bjwfljgy1l51.png?width=898&format=png&auto=webp&s=bc79e9ed635aa5fbb9afd76832127e54f5de765a Cech's finest hour: The amount of crucial saves Cech made in the second half of the season is unbelievable, he is IMO the SOLE reason we won the two trophies we did win, sure Drogba and Torres take the headlines, but Drogba cost us two massive penalties (vs Barca and vs Bayern) that could have gone the other way, Cech guessed right for both and saved Drogba's blushes. Cech was outstanding in the home ties vs Napoli, Barcelona, and of course was the official MOTM in the CL final, where he saved Robben's penalty in ET, and correctly guessed all 5 Bayern penalties in the shootout, saving 2 (Yes, he got fingertips to Schweinsteiger's penalty). Not to mention he made IMO one of the best saves you will ever see, when he somehow kept Carrol's bullet header out of the goal with milliseconds to react due to how close Carrol's header was, this was in the FA cup final no less. Absolute Champion. There was a reason Drogba went to him first after slotting in the winning penalty against Bayern. Special Juan: Special shout out to Juan Mata, in his debut season, he contributed 12 goals and a stunning 20 assists! one of course being in the CL final. Chelsea's POTS. That is some honor considering there were many contenders. https://preview.redd.it/rlbiiklb82l51.png?width=275&format=png&auto=webp&s=0f45bbe18d4e1b5d786ef411e5d96e089509d39c FA Cup victory, 2-1 win vs Liverpool, Final: After 4 consecutive defeats to Liverpool, Chelsea finally beat them in the big one, FA Cup final. Liverpool had just won the Carling Cup in February 2012, so both teams had momentum. Of course Wembley specialist and man for the finals, Drogba scores the opening goal after a brilliant assist by Frank. Ramires scored the second continuing his big match scoring spree. Liverpool definitely fought back and Andy Carrol scored perhaps his best Liverpool goal and probably should have had a second if it was any other keeper then Cech, who pulled of the save of the season. I love winning FA cups. This often gets overshadowed b/c of our CL victory, but this would have given us a lot of confidence ahead of Bayern in a few weeks time. Fun Moments:

Part 1 submitted by lukereevey661 to footballmanagergames [link] [comments] The Tactician I go with the recommended control possession tactic and my favourite formation of 4-2-3-1 wide. My plan is to hold the ball as long as possible, playing out of defence and gradually working up the pitch to set up one of my three forwards, who are all in extremely attacking roles. In transition, I pick counter and counter-press despite the usual hold shape with possession based tactics. I hope this allows us to catch the opposition off-guard and exploit potential holes in their formation. I stick with the balanced mentality for now, although will look to change to positive at some point in the future. There is surprisingly no lack of depth in any position even with the somewhat anti-climactic transfer window. https://preview.redd.it/nxa27wumanw41.png?width=2880&format=png&auto=webp&s=383af72c4ba784f75caaea4cf8bbc30f7bb148b6 Kick-Off In pre-season friendlies, which I allow my backroom staff to arrange, we do surprisingly well. Undeterred by a 3-2 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk, we go on to beat Belgian side KV Mechelen 3-1, draw with UEFA Europa League competitors SC Braga (despite dominating the game) and finish off with a 1-0 win over Genoa. A positive start to the season which we can certainly build off of and carry with us into the league. https://preview.redd.it/d7i1v5yvbnw41.png?width=1983&format=png&auto=webp&s=23a755e447712c84472fcbc2ddcd10c80737ee35 Our first game is at home to similarly ranked Sheffield Wednesday with the media predicting a uneventful draw. Oh how wrong they were. Although I was confident with my new tactic and the way the squad was looking, I'm not sure I was this confident. Within 15 minutes of play, winger Yakou Meïté makes himself known by scoring twice and keeping the Wednesday defence on their toes. Debutant Tahith Chong adds to the tally in the 76th minute and a brilliant outing was finished by George Puscas who found the back of the net in the final few minutes solidifying a 4-0 and our place at the top of the table. With 64% possession and bizarrely all goals coming from headers, the new tactic was working a treat. A truly fantastic start to the season. https://preview.redd.it/8e9fzyumdnw41.png?width=1862&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2d5ee15e6e4794a4eddd38a58fad0292a6c8626 https://preview.redd.it/4erjbfe3dnw41.png?width=2880&format=png&auto=webp&s=f4cacbbdf9d6e610a4d50c48167a491c7a0d7150 We go on to beat Hull City 1-0 at their KCOM Stadium thanks to a 72nd minute strike from Puscas, admittedly lucky after it bounces off the woodwork from a Chong header for a tap in. 3 days later we play Bristol City in the Carabao Cup 1st Round with a relatively unchanged side apart from giving Oliver Skipp's his first start for the club. Once again, the boys do me proud, beating The Robins 2-0 away from home, George Puscas adding to his total with another two goals. But, most pleasing about this performance was our 61% possession which saw us dominate the game and only allow Bristol a few chances at goal. Away from the pitch, Sunderland (who sit 18th in League One with 0 points) put in an offer for Jordan Obita which I swiftly accept, putting our bank balance up half a million. Despite his decent ability, Obita wasn't going to get a look in, with the club having 7 wingbacks on the books at the start of the season! We get lucky with the Carabao Cup 2nd Round drawing AFC Wimbledon at home who reside in the league below. Surely a chance to see what some of the academy graduates have to offer? A 1-1 draw follows to play-off favourites Cardiff at the Madejski Stadium. Although evidently rather unlucky as we finish with 64% possession and 20 shots (including 2 clear cut chances). We bounce back however and against all odds record a 2-0 win over promotion front-runners West Brom away from home. A proper shithousery result which will surely have the Brummies fuming. Danny Loader, a product of The Royals youth academy, scores his second of the season pushing for a place in the first team despite his tender age of 18. https://preview.redd.it/iuskl6wvonw41.png?width=2880&format=png&auto=webp&s=cc7d0d41425d169c2f89ed5db0b67e17ac1239e9 Another 1-1 draw at home, this time to Huddersfield, which is retrospectively a good result considering Rinomhota's sending off in the 59th minute. Puscas scores another putting him second top goalscorer for the league. I knew I had reason to be excited about him. A good set of results so far which leaves us second in the league, joint on points with rivals QPR and 4 points below Leeds United who have won all their first 5 games. Is this finally the season they get promoted? Before our next match, we confirm the signing of Dynel Simeu from Chelsea for 250k who will join in January. A 17 year old speedy centre back who is already 6'1", has brilliant potential and will likely feature for the club in the future. On the topic of youngsters, our next match is against Wimbledon, a perfect chance for some of the more youthful players to prove their worth. https://preview.redd.it/xhs4ks1wunw41.png?width=2880&format=png&auto=webp&s=df04e917b4f9724539313c0f8087c7c1329417ad |
