Chelsea (H) - Post-Match Thread

[blueinsa]

did somebody really say chelsea deserved a draw ? Wolves put up more then chelsea did. You cant display such a dull game killing effort then expect a point, that isnt what second in the league plays like. True chelsea where one goal off a draw but never looked like scoring it !

Tuchel claimed it so every arse licking hanger on in the media is now saying it.

Remember, at no point do City deserve anything and if we get it, it’s either unjustified, luck, a mistake from the opposition etc etc.

So after a weekend of nonsense skysports media.

Chelsea lost because lukaku had a bad game

city have been lucky due to lack of covid cases plus zero mention how we totally dominate.

city would struggle if Diaz didn’t play! Lol he didn’t play against Chelsea you tits

Liverpool back in 2nd & on city’s heals

Piss is boiling :-)

In reply to your first couple of lines, i can think of at least 2 occasions , and thats without watching the game back where the ball was played across the 6 yard box screaming for a number 9 to tap it in.
and thats every game

we need a striker and no one will convince me other wise. We’d score even more goals!!

I’m not trying to convince you one way or another mate - I find the whole striker/no striker debate fascinating and see both sides of it.

I’ve not watched it back either but I do recall one first half when Grealish I think put it across so point taken on those situations. The flip side is losing the extra body in the middle of the park - horses for courses and all that. The way pep seems to want to play at the moment is he’ll want a striker-cum-midfielder or midfielder-cum-striker rather than an out and out striker.

To add to your point about how a striker would help - we could get forward quicker because that is frustrating when playing against a team that defends like Chelsea when they finally get the balls to cross the half way line and we win it back we build slowly giving them time to get back and organise. But flip side is does that extra body in the middle help us in the transition by giving an easier pass rather than punt forward and potentially give away possession- which is a lot of what happens to teams we play against. The opposition for the most part set out to stop us rather than playing their own game (although some teams playing style like Chelsea, wolves and the such are effective against us) - whatever players we have the first port for the opposition will be to negate whatever threats they pose. I do get the feeling Pep loves this type of mental challenge which is why he might be here a good while yet!

Pep has made me think about the game in ways I’d never have considered and I only watch from the stands - imagine being in the dugout trying to outwit him - he is a god damn genius and we are very blessed.

I enjoyed that game immensely and not just because we won (although that helps!). Apart from a couple of chances for them, I thought we were utterly dominant. I was impressed at times by the way Chelsea played out when they were hemmed in, but their whole style of play was of the "let's-not-lose-but-then-try-to-nick-one" variety. I personally thought Wolves offered more threat. We were patient, we kept on creating and while De Bruyne had the (wonderful) defining moment in the game I thought Laporte was outstanding, as was Bernardo and Sterling was very lively. Chelsea deserved a draw? Did they fuck.

Speaking of which, old Garthy thought Chelsea deserved a draw and Raheem Sterling played false 9.

Whilst Crooks adopts the posture of a false pundit.

We sit there in one sentence saying we need a striker but in the next saying year in year out we are top scorers so do we?

any striker would have to work hard and drop deep. As has been said, that should be jesus, but it isnt. Much as i love the guy his finishing isnt his strong point.

when it comes to it, i trust pep, and despite his odd brain fart, u have total faith.

Change the j to h and the v to m and bingo, puzzle solved!

Well done Shirley. It’s good to see someone with brains

Fabulous team performance with everyone playing their part. Eddie made a great save, LaPorte and Big John never broke sweat.

Bernardo is in danger of breaking the laws of physics with his non stop running, Rodri utterly dominant against Kante.

Phil and Jack covered the pitch, unlucky not to score, with Phil's effort taking an age not to go in. Jack had more time than he thought. At the heart of most of our good work were Kev and Raz, making Chelsea have to defend well.
Sublime moment of quality from the orange haired maestro even when he was flagging a bit.

Very disappointed in Chelsea though. Solid defensive shape but no creativity, Pulisic was poor.

Serves the German Skeletor right.

When we win anything they immediately say well you should win everything because you have so much more money than everybody else*

Come on, it’s not small time. It’s banter between 2 teams who reached the final of the Champions league.
If we had won the Champions league, our whole ground would have been full of those blow up cups.
These are the type of thing each and every fan loves!
