Match Thread | Chelsea vs. Man City (18/08/24)

I'd hook Doku. Not his day and he keeps losing it sitting on his arse appealing whilst they get possession and break. Midfield needs shoring up. Like the look of Savio though.

Love the dok but I agree here today for him...

Ref done well not fall for any of the 3 pen calls.

don’t be sad , there still 45 mins for your wish ;)

Bernardo looks shattered already...Savinho looks like a very special player.

 

[Gumzy97]

I did say about Savinho best young player in la liga last season for me, 1v1 specialist.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Why aren't you in the joke thread?

Er. actually; on second thought, please don't!

 

[Haaland94]

On a positive note, Savinho is looking awesome out there. When he dribbles and runs at the opposition it's like he is playing fifa. Incredible ability.

In terms of needed improvement, Rico is really struggling at RB and he is just now winning those duels in that area. Move him to midfield and put Akanji at RB, or take him off altogether. He is just not cutting it defensively.

Would like to see some Jack this half.

Not yet, we need one more goal

 

[Kippax77]

Thought we were playing the rags the amount of times they throw themselves to the floor in the penalty area.
Why isn't that Enzo getting booked if he isn't being fouled

 

[Keeper!]

Offsides still killing the game IMHO, that last phase of play should never have happened.

crazy that the game is not stopped for an offside on the half way line

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Chelsea players going down like fucking dominoes in the box - they look desperate. Glad to get through to HT though. Look a bit vulnerable in the midfield with no Rodri. I think this is one of those games where attack is the best form of defence, we need to get them on the back foot.

Savinho could be a revelation - looks like a nightmare to play against.
Rico has done well, taken up good positions.
Gvardiol and Dias both made some solid interventions.
Kova was doing well save a few questionable moments.
Haaland did what Haaland does.
Doku seems to go from world-beater to Sunday League in the space of moments.
Kev looking good in moments.
