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

[AndyWolves]

More from press conference:

- "we need to look and learn on how we concede goals and how we score goals at the other end. This is the basis on where we start with training the next day. We have potential to improve a lot. When we lose a game, we view the game and then we correct where we went wrong and where we can improve. We need to defend inside the box and this we must improve. Not only see the ball in the box, but see the player"

Absolutely spot on what you'd say to kids starting out in the game, but surely we should already know this?!

 

[Haggstone]

Yeah he doesn't actually have the flu I wouldnt have thought. Heavy cold maybe.

 

[Kenny]

I'm hoping flu is that generic term people use which really means a cold

Man-flu. Hopefully a mild case

 

[AndyWolves]

Man-flu. Hopefully a mild case

A mild case of man-flu? never heard such rubbish! :-D

 

[sycophantia]

He's just phoning it in, wants a day off training, sitting in his PJs playing computer games, weather's shit innit.

There’s something doing the rounds that’s wiped out more people at my work than Covid did. But I think for every two that are genuinely off sick, there’s one that’s phoned it in for a week off work.

January blues aye it.

 

[Lupo]

Or transfer window fever

 

[Wellen Wolf]

We've tried everything at CB now haven't we?

Doc
Lemina
RAN
Semedo
Toti
Dawson
Mosquera
Bueno
Agbadou

Just the nine, any more?

Pond must be fed up off

I saw Pond trying to play for the U21s not so long ago. I'd have said after that performance that he should go on loan to a club at the level of, say, Sporting Khalsa or Darlaston Town.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

 

[The Bear]

Glad to see Cunha starting.

Doherty less so.

 

[The Bear]

Neto and Palmer both starting for them.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I know he's not everyone's cup of tea but far happier with Sarabia in the team than Hwang and/or Guedes.

 

[Tredman]

Looking forward to Neto celebrating like a lunatic again. Bit of badge kissing too maybe.

 

[The Bear]

I'd rather Rodrigo ahead of all of them.

 

[Alan]

Just give us a good time out at the pub and I'll be happy. Last time was no fun.

 

[Wolf of Ashford]

Pleased to see Cunha back and actually, Sarabia too, he tends to play better with Cunha, so hopefully those 2 can give more quality and support to JSL than the Hwang/Guedes attack.

Not confident on our back 3 at all though. Probably need to score at least 2 before we can even think about getting anything from tonight

 

[The Bear]

Can you imagine Neto on the break against Doherty because Semedo is stuck upfield?

 

[Squeak]

I know he's not everyone's cup of tea but far happier with Sarabia in the team than Hwang and/or Guedes.

Hwang...100% agree. Guedes had a really poor game last time out but he's mile s ahead of Sarabia in terms of attitude and work rate so far this season.

 

[Squeak]

Bomb squad = Lemina.
