Chelsea (A) 2 May 2024

[J.spurs]

This one sneaked up on me, but I’ve got a very good feeling about it. Madders dropped and Richarlison gets the start…

 

[Dave]

Have to win it but this cunts always up their game against us. If we keep our heads I think we could take the points here

 

[ClemFandango]

I thought Vicario was going to kiss him then ..

 

[Havocc]

If Vicario closed Jackson done with the same speed as he hugged VDV, it would not have been a problem

 

[ClemFandango]

Yikes, the Battle of Stamford Bridge was 8 years ago tonight ..

 

[J.spurs]

Emerson is having a tough night so far.

 

[ClemFandango]

FFS .. just as expected, they’ve turned up for this particular game.

 

[Havocc]

This Chelsea side is toilet, yet we are making them look amazing

 

[HighValueMan]

Behind early to a set piece, what a surprise. Outmuscled again. Maybe the manager should focus on them, no?

 

[BrooklynYid]

Remember when we used to have a good midfield? Seems like ages ago. We can't get through them for anything. Gonna be a long night if this keeps up.

 

[BrooklynYid]

Holy hell, Ange is pissed!

 

[Dave]

We're being over run here. Where's Sonny ? Where's kulo ? FFS!!!!!

 

[Dave]

Holy hell, Ange is pissed!

Yeah! And about time. He SHOULD be.

 

[ClemFandango]

Yeah! And about time. He SHOULD be.

He needs to give them the hairdryer treatment at half time. They certainly deserve it.

Is Sonny even on the pitch or has he gone home?

 

[BrooklynYid]

We are so bad at set pieces.

 

[HighValueMan]

If I am reading him correctly, he seems to be more upset at giving away set pieces than defending them.

 

[ClemFandango]

I can see a few players being hooked at half time as well

 

[Dorset]

Another penalty not given. I know Emerson falls over easily, but that was a penalty. Son is MIA again., Richarlison is not very impressive, Johnson has done some nice work but the end pass/shot seems to be lacking every time. VDV great again, Vicario allowing their players to upset him as usual on every free kick or corner. Who comes off and who comes on? Son might as well sit on the bench, Lo Celso could do well against this mob, dunno.

 

[ClemFandango]

Maddison or Lo Celso on for Son and push Kulusevski out wide maybe.

Don't agree on the pen. Wasn't anywhere near enough. Royal should be alot stronger there. Can't disagree on the rest though.
Think Madders has to come in, probably for Kulo. Sarr does not do it for me. Don't know what he offers. He's not creative and he's not strong in the tackle.
It took us an hour to hit the target against Arsenal. Still nothing tonight. Whatever about our defending, for a side that prodomently plays on the front foot, we've shown nothing. I sincerely hope Ange has fucked them out of it.

 

[HighValueMan]

I prefer Richarlison on the left and Son as no.9 against bigger teams.

 

[ClemFandango]

So the worst Chelsea side for years are now going to do the double over us .. *sigh*

 

[HighValueMan]

Another set-piece reaction. Palmer is quality to be fair. Of course he is fit for us and not for Arsenal.

 

[Dave]

I love him to bits and he's been a great servant and a brilliant player but I think if the right offer comes from abroad it might be time to cash in on Sonny.

 

[Havocc]

The lesser spotted Bryan Gil makes a rare appearance

 

[ClemFandango]

I do wonder if it’s the pressure of Captaincy though ?

Romero would be a far better choice as a leader and at least Sonny would be free to just play his best game.

 

[Havocc]

Watch us beat Man City……..

 

[Havocc]

I do wonder if it’s the pressure of Captaincy though ?

Nah, he has been captain of Korea for years. He is playing out of positio. He is not a CF, he should always be on the left.

 

[BrooklynYid]

Chelsea have done nothing in this match yet are beating us comfortably. Can't even put my finger on what's wrong with us.

 

[ClemFandango]

Yeah, a very comfortable win for them.
