Chelsea (A) 20/01/25 - Build up & Match Thread

[jd1981]

As bad as the first 30 minutes were we were finishing the half the better side.

 

[Del Woppio]

Much better last 10-12 mins, like a different team. First 35 minutes we were collectively terrible. Even if nobody was lower than a 5 individually we were a 4, it was terrible.

 

[sycophantia]

That first 30 was as poor as anything during O'Neils time, so disorganised, how we only conceded 1 I'll never know cross after cross.
Last 15 we were much better but happened to Chelsea, just stopped playing then started panicking.

 

[Del Woppio]

Could do with Lemina's legs in midfield, let's bring him on now he's apologised and everything is OK

 

[Mel Evo]

Could go either way this now

Uh oh. Heard that a lot at half time when we last met

The good thing was, unlike GON who just watched things unfold and didn't change them. VP change things and we got some kind of control back.

Think we've improved since Semedo and RAN were switched.

Not on the bench.

Weird thing is that Chelsea xG 0.97 and ours is 0.69

Doesn't really reflect the game but it makes me think Chelsea didn't make the most of their dominance (which is pretty obvs really!)

Indeed. The Wing-back switch worked well.

Let's get Rodrigo on for Sarabia and really run at the fuckers.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I like how forthright Petit is, just doesn't give a fuck.

Him talking about Spurs and Sanchez has been refreshing from a guest.

They just slung the ball in the box didn’t create anything of note.

What did he say about Spurs? Didn’t see the pre chat

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

"It's been a flat first half from Chelsea"

Did I mishear that? Seems really harsh.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Just started laughing initially

And then went on to say the injuries are no excuses at all (which was a little unfair), just good to hear someone just say what they think, even if I don't necessarily agree with it.

Cunha really wants that 2nd olympico

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Sarabia has done absolutely nothing. Surely Rodrigo would offer a lot more?
