Chelsea (A) build up

[pavlosmacwolf]

seems like we have got to grips with this game, and are starting to counter.

 

[Jinky]

Bit of a non-event so far, but perhaps this isn’t a bad thing considering we’re away from home at a top 6 side.

Moutinho’s work rate still impresses me. Defence done well.

 

[Jack Regan]

Excellent defensive performance, Chelsea created nothing. Just need to get our passing going on the counter and we can get a positive result out of this.

 

[YoungWolf]

Very good defensive showing, and a couple of openings which we didn’t take advantage of or get a shot away.

Probably need to offer a little more threat on the break second half, as be surprised if Chelsea don’t create some more. Looking forward to Barkley coming on for Kovacic on 73 minutes

 

[Premier Quality]

Good half - I actually think Chelsea have played well, their pass and move football has been excellent, but our defensive shape has been fantastic and it’s meant they’ve not actually created much at all.

The tough bit is that they are also working hard and have a good shape so we’ve also struggled to create anything. Might need Traore to come on at some point to run at them.

Only nervousness is Docs booking, he needs to be careful now.

And huge credit to the wolves fans who are there, singing brilliantly. I don’t think I’ve heard Chelsea sing once....

 

[The Bear]

Slim pickings in possession so far, as we've given it away too quickly when we've gotten it back.

Defensively almost perfect so far though. We're allowing them to play in front of us and they're obliging, which is making them fairly easy to play against so far.

 

[Tredman]

Quite a lot of space behind the Chelsea defence, thought our game plan has been perfect so far.

 

[YoungWolf]

Neves has had a very good game out of possession. And his use of the ball has been very good to allow us to rest in possession a bit

 

[Norman Deeley]

Proper European away leg performance from Wolves so far

If we both play to our best, Chelsea will win 9/10 times. Today they are playing very well, so if we come away with a point we've got probably all we could.

 

[arklowolf]

Yep, great performance in defending and a chance will come. More of the same second half please. Have to record the second half as wife wants the rugby on. So bye bye.

The top 6 must always play shit against us then

The top 6 must always play shit against us then

That's not what I'm saying. Easier not to post on this forum. Just saying Chelsea are playing pretty well.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

I still think Nuno has a plan here, and Chelsea may well be getting a bit frustrated after that first half not to mention a touch Leggy after Europe as the game goes on.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Given that we are not going to trouble the top 6 & aren't getting any bother at the bottom end of the table then maybe we should just take a chance in the second half.

Might well get picked off as Chelsea are playing the ball well without cutting us open at the moment - if we go a bit more attacking then they might well do so. That's not a disaster & may give us more opportunity

 

[Jinky]

The gap between our midfield and Jota/Raul is too big (at the moment) when we have the ball. We could do with helping them out.

Thought that was a penalty then. Doc again?

 

[Premier Quality]

Doc needs to be very careful with these fouls

 

[t3ch]

ooooooof lucky there

for not a penalty, and for not a doc 2nd yellow

 

[playtheace]

Doing well but we need some support when j&j break or else we won't get anything out of this match.

 

[Alan]

Doc very lucky not to be sent off.
