The fact it took until the 85th minute to score? We had all that possesion and all our shot were from 30-40yards. And from defenders. We only created one clear cut chance for our striker. Fact we didn't use the wide area's to break them down. Ivanovic shouldn't be playing Right Back, he is a CB and a good one, he has zero pace to defend vs pacey wingers, and we have cesar on bench who is a cracking right back prospect. Also his subs? WHERE WERE THEY. He bought Moses on at 60th minute, good sub i liked that one, then waited until 80th..20 minutes LATER, when we still looked the same until to bring lamps on for mikel which cried out for earlier. Then that was no2 sub...we should of had studge on (if was on bench, i didn't see it on stream) or betrand to help out wide too, but instead we got the goal (which i agree we deserved) in the last 5minutes of the game and won.
I think we could of easily drew that game but we won and are still top. I just think RDM needs learn to change things quicker he is way to slow.

A goal's a goal, no matter when it's scored.
Ivanovic was necessary due to his physical strength, as was Mikel. Resting JT is a mistake due to the vunerabilities with the Cahill/Luiz partnership. Hazard needs a rest, as does Torres, but we're lacking options with Sturridge and Marin out.
I have to agree with you on the changes, RDM has a habit of getting too drawn into the game and losing track of time. 80 minutes is too late for an impact sub - but you can see that in our case it paid off.
I think Azipi should start against Wolves on Tuesday, and JT and Cahill should be our starting CB pairing, with Luiz as cover.
