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

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Doku never comfortable playing on right side, left side is always he belong to.

100%

 

[Mancity1980]

Another rival who thinks they need to copy city and get a bald manager.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Rico is some prospect. Zabaleta 2.0

 

[colorado blue]

Hope Savinho comes out for second half but wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t. Not sure what he did but didn’t look good at the time.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

I like him pal, he had a belting Euros seems his form is carrying over

Best left back since Ashley Cole

He does seem to have goy some confidence and skill back from the Euros experience- he was utter tosh last year.

Causing our own problems playing out from the back, no one in midfield really showing for the ball.

Akanji and Gvardiol both guilty of sloppy passing, and Kovacic been caught on the ball a couple of times.

Think we can get another one, but we really need Doku to start producing as he's been incredibly wasteful this half.

gvardiol misplaced ONE pass, how is that sloppy?

 

[Keeper!]

I agree. The amount of negativity towards rico is ridiculous. He’s played really well so far

superb 45 minutes, his strength is extraordinary at times

 

[Middedon]

NBC Halftime show in the US - lots of kind words for Kova and Savio. They think we look very sharp.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Bet Pep wish we’d kept Lavia.
He looks the ideal Rodri backup to me.

Was just about to come on and say the same thing. Really good footballer.

Savinhos been great, whole team has been good considering it the first game.

 

[bluethai]

We need Grealish in for Doku to maintain better ball control.
