Chelsea (A) 4/2: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Templeton Peck]

Toti again with a loose ball out invites them on ... folks love to have a go at Kilman here but Toti is having a poor game IMO.

None of our CBs are that great. That's why we have 3 of them.

 

[t3ch]

I was gonna say they’re getting an awful lot of free contact in. Finally another csrd

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Cunha appears to playing in midfield now too, with Bellegarde as the false 9/no 9.

Would GON ever bring Santi on and maybe move Kilman to that side?

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Pen to Wolves!

 

[t3ch]

Great tackle!

 

[Squeak]

Got to be a pen.... surely... but I'd say no after seeing that replay.

 

[Jack Regan]

Yeah that's definitely a part of it, but we are a much better watch too.

Can be both but it would definitely be silly to discount this.

It definitely plays a part having a more approachable manager. Nuno was obviously fantastic for us but gave the media zilch. Lage was a twat and Lopetegui was very much up himself so it's always bound to have an effect of the manager is more open to chatting to the media as GON clearly is.

 

[The Bear]

Deffo a pen.

 

[The Bear]

Touch is irrelevant. You can't wipe a players legs away to win the ball.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I think he got a nick on the ball.

 

[The Bear]

Very quick check and rightly so.

 

[Jinky]

Cunha has been absolutely terrific today. What a player!

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Gusto drags Cunha to the floor to get us a Pen.
Lots of subs...

Agreed, man then ball.

There is a part of me that suspects Hobbs, Shi, or both, wanted the likes of Beale and O'Neil in part due to that.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Cunha steps up and scores!!

 

[AndyWolves]

Great play just before the pen shout. That isn't a penalty though

I mean it is, but for me it's a great tackle

 

[Squeak]

VAR gives us something.... Cunha.... scores 4-1

 

[Alan]

Booo, my prediction!
