Chelsea (A) - Sun 18th Aug '24 | Post Match Thread

Job done - and 2 points ahead of where we were game on game last season ;)

Chelsea spent £222m on Enzo and Caicedo, yet the guy they shipped out for £25m to make room for them showed he’s the better player.

Great start, 3 points away to Chelsea. Clean sheet. Good time to play them as they will improve and be tough to beat at home when team knits together. Players to come back. If Doku can improve his final pass and shot he will be some player.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Great result that, especially not at full strength

I've seen plenty of people saying Chelsea will be back fighting for top 4 this year, if they tell right then this win might age well.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

We are on for 114 points at this rate, wonder if they can give us a bonus one...

 

[Ken92]

Great start ,a bit rusty ,but 3 points are the most important thing. doku needs to improve his decision making and passing and then everything gets much simpler.Savio was looking good ,hopefully he is not injured.

Tough place to go.
Cant remember the year but is was when Kev scored and we won there and the penny dropped that we were the deal.
Players rested we are still the deal.

 

[johnny crossan]

Hands up, Rico had a blinder at RB, my concerns were groundless. Hope he keeps his place now, Savinho & Doku were formidable too but Jack will get his turn to shine I'm sure. Well done blue boys, a happy week ahead.

Easy now, I'd settle for one more than everyone else.

 

[jimharri]

If enzo fernandes is worth 115m then rodri might actually be the first billion pound player

Typical Argentinian. They have some fantastic players. But they're a dirty bunch. "If it moves, kick it".

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Going off that I'd buy Lavia off Chelsea

Easily their best player, though thought Cucurella played well to be fair to the sideshow bob looking twat.

 

[stuart_kennedy_tache]

Really pleased with that.

I predicted a 1-1 draw before the game kicked off but delighted with win.

Looked a bit undercooked and wasn’t happy with Lewis and Doku, but Kovacic was MOM for me.

Hope Savinho is okay,good first 45mins from him.

Anyway upwards and onwards.

 

[citytill1die84]

Never in doubt. Sloppy as fuck but 3pts clean sheet happy days

 

[adr2.8i]

Dead landed with that win. One of the tough away games. We're undercooked but were still pretty darn good. Positive to see Savio walking and thanking the away lads and lasses. Hopefully just a contact knock and.nothing serious, he'd be crutched up if it was serious surely?

Anyway, 3 great points, great start to the season, couldn't have asked for much more.

 

[SWPISHOME]

That was a top display from us today! Don't be fooled by anyone saying "It's only Chelsea" ect... That's a sensational result and performance at a very tough place to go.

Kovacic was incredible today, Bernie was so good, Rico! Fuck me! This kid is the dogs bollocks...It's actually frightening how good he is at such a young age. His reading of the game, His positioning, The spaces he picks up ect WOW

 

[Burtonblue]

Great performance
Lots to like
Savio looks a really good signing
KDB sharp
Bernie a proper warrior
Erling looks hungry
Rico motm for me
If only Doku had a bit more end product….does all the hard stuff but just can’t seem to pick the right pass.

 

[ysmsa]

Bloody good win that.

One of the big boys away from home out of the way.

They'll improve as will we.

Result of the weekend I reckon with Brighton a close second.

 

[nmc]

And the cunts made the racist prick the fucking captain today.
What a shitstain of a club

And he was pretty vile, pulling shirts and diving like a tart…. What did he cost?

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Rico Lewis is MOTM. Kova-Bernardo pivot is the Rodri alternative. Another Haaland goal! Savio was so good before the injury. Hopefully nothing serious. Doku is hot and cold but so dangerous.

Really good win away from home. Let's go!

 

[Blue Til Death]

Great win today under difficult circumstances, well done lads, the rags back in their rightful place 7th ..!
