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

Full of errors. Suppose it's expected so early and so unfit.
Looks like a matter of time before they equalise, we've been fortunate.
Need to keep it tight first 15 of the 2nd half.

That Enzo is a ****. He's very rag like.

Agreed, he’d fit right in with the Argentinean inbreds at OT

Decent half. Thought Rico shined. Doku had moments of brilliance and moments to forget.

It’s encouraging to see our weakened lineup is able to compete against an United first 11 and a Chelsea (away) first 11.

Rode our luck a couple of times, but I think we were the better team first half. We were lucky Jackson just strayed offside for their disallowed goal, Ederson was sloppy spilling the ball.

Doku has been a bit off it, but has improved a bit as the game has gone on. Savinho looks decent. Quality finish from Erling.

Overall we are doing OK, with quite a few players not starting and Rodders out.

OK half, pretty rusty in patches but some decent attacking play. Savinho looking sharp but I reckon he'll come off at half time with that injury. And please City, no more silly challenges in our area, as Taylor will award a penalty soon

 

[Lowtower]

What's hilarious is every shot on target he lets in

Flick onto the match thread and this is the first post I see.

New season, same mentalists.

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.

Rico is having a great game

Savvy's already a fan favourite

I think we’re playing alright so far. Seems like a typical game after pre season and a big tournament
