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

[bert38]

We look like a team who haven’t had a pre-season.

Far too many errors in possession.

Need a second goal sharpish.

 

[Keeper!]

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

good game in difficult conditions, very lively

 

[bluethai]

Savinho is like Mahrez with added pace. So far, so good!

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Yeah like the one in the last minute of the champions league final

Yeah, you had to go that far back to remember his last decent save

 

[Haaland94]

Rico is having a great game

Going forward, but he is struggling at the back. Most of their attacks come from his side. We need to move him to midfield.

 

[phargrave]

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’s the Spirit!

 

[Ric]

Really pleased to be winning, but we started to look very leggy after 30 minutes. Feels like the momentum is with them, so need to make changes to freshen it up. Grealish for Doku at least. Savinho has been excellent.

 

[oldius]

Sloppy but winning, and I'll take that in these first few games of the season. Erling, Ruben, Kev, and Savinho are the obvious performers of the first half. Doku has done good things but his final ball has not been the best. Chelsea are dangerous.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Hopefully Savinho is OK with the knock he picked up before HT, He's lively as fuck!

I think we've been really good in that first half, We really should have gone in 2-0 up, Doku has to get that ball through to Haaland to play him in 1 v 1.

Rico Lewis has been nothing short of sensational, The lad is absolutely quality.

What a finish from the League Two Donkey too. That's why he's the best striker on the planet.

 

[pudge]

Did Sturridge just say "pacifically"?
