I’ll be objective.
I thought Chelsea did quite well passing the ball around and attacking the first 10 minutes and then that penalty was against the flow of play.
They then defended poorly and left large spaces between the back four and Keppa. The rags were not that impressive but to be honest they did run and close down faster than last season, which Chelsea did not capitulate. Two-three players closing down means there’s a team mate that’s free. I hate it when players try to wriggle around and out thinking they’re fat ronaldo or ronaldinho, instead of a safe pass back and then front to set up an attack.
But I doubt the rags can sustain it, they don’t have depth and those young players were fortunate to have space to exploit and run through. I think their squad will thin out before Christmas.
Chelsea was just horrible today. Crosses that were yards overhit. That final corner sums it up really, sending it to the far post when 5 players were attacking the near post. There’s potential, but players were just not on the right page. Lampard has his work cut out but based on today’s performance I dont think he can do any worse.
