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

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Good first half for the opening game of the season, but since the goal we have been sloppy in possession.

 

[N1985]

Cucurella has been brilliant

 

[Tricky_Trev]

We lack control in build-up.

And this is our Rodri-less set up for the season. We are taking a huge risk. Today we are getting lucky so far, but I’d prefer it if we didn’t have to rely on luck and just bought a 6/8 hybrid.

 

[IronsideKozuch]

Rico is having a great game

Has been good, few times on a knifes edge though defensively

 

[Keeper!]

Cucurella has been brilliant

mmmm

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

I hope the docs whack a bit if tiger balm on Savhino's leg so he gets on 2nd half. Been a joy to watch. RW looks a bit exposed with young Rico but he's sticking to his task.

 

[burning blue soul]

We are doing OK, here. A bit sloppy, but winning away at Chelsea 1st game.
Remember, it's a free hit for them. They are under no real pressure, even from their fans.
Nobody wants to play City 1st game.
Enzo, fuck, that lad is a tosser. Dive after foul, after dive.
They have upped their energy levels after the goal went in. Was predictable.
Important we got to half time winning.
I think we will double the lead early in 2nd half.

I really like Savinho, he's going to be good for us. That's what I'm taking from this game so far. We're losing the ball a bit too much for my liking. Great goal from Haaland.

 

[Haaland94]

Savinho has Cucarella cooked.

Jeremy struggled against him early on, but that entire side can't stop Savinho, the whole lot of them. It's like they're not even there. He makes it look so easy.

 

[Gumzy97]

Nico and Yamal got all the plaudits last season but Savinho for me is better. Massive reason for Girona's success.
