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

[The Bear]

I'm guessing he'll take a wing-back off (RAN) and Sarabia and André (on a booking)

 

[Del Woppio]

Larsen, Sarabella, Cunha ...all offering nothing. RAN is done....exhausted. Where's our leaders?

At Forest

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

As in we have been mostly mediocre?

I honestly don't understand how anybody watching this could think this is in amy way acceptable.

The scoreline and the nature of the goals we've conceded is not acceptable.

On the whole though I don't think we've been too bad, particularly between their 1st and 2nd.

But it's the goals and the result that matter. And 3 x 3 conceded is awful.

[Wolftone]

Rodrigo, JRB and Guedes all coming on.

Can we throw a towel in as well?

 

[jd1981]

We’ve proven the phrase “good time to score” is a load of bollocks.
Get level after being mainly poor but proceed to do the square route of nothing second half.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

well there's your answer then, a player that is otherwise good tends to get more slack than one that is generally poor. This isn't really news.

Well I don't agree with that. If a player fucks up he should get criticised for it, regardless of his form.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Can we throw a towel in as well?

We did, it’s metaphorically JRB!

 

[WVWolf]

May as well sell Doyle to Sheff Utd if Bellegarde is now ahead of him.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I don't understand how JRB gets so many minutes.

It's a total bafflement.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Sell Strand Larsen as well he's wank.

 

[jd1981]

Those who like an XG stat Chelsea 3.07 ours is 0.63 currently that pretty much sums it all up.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Sell Strand Larsen as well he's wank.

Oh dear.

 

[EnglishBob]

Our subs bench is a bit thin on talent, isn't it. Might as well throw Doyle on as well to complete the trinity of mediocrity.

 

[The Bear]

Well our attack has shown occasional flashes, the midfield has been very poor in keeping possession, and the less said about the defence the better.

At least Sa has been alright I guess...

 

[Del Woppio]

Blimey, our defensive line was straight

The squad in general is

 

[The Bear]

Need to make sure we don't end up conceding 4 or 5 here. GD could well come into play.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

At least we can see Bellegarde in his reputed best position.

* Reputed based on fact he’s shit everywhere else he’s played.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Blimey, our defensive line was straight

Santi actually held the fucking line
