Chelsea (H) 24/12: Build-Up & Match Thread

[The Bear]

Lol you can tell Gomes loves a sliding challenge and getting stuck in.

 

[The Bear]

Good shot Doyle.

 

[The Bear]

I’ll be surprised if we don’t concede here. Hopefully this triple sub slows their play for 5/10 but I can see us losing this still

They're obviously going to throw men forwards. Just got to try and throw everything in front of them.

Someone tell Tommy he doesn’t need to shoot every time he touches the ball within 40 yards

 

[YoungWolf]

I’d take Hwang off for maybe Chirewa. He’s not offering us anything and I don’t think he’s going to get us up the pitch if we get the ball to him

 

[The Bear]

Both times he's had very little other option or anyone near him.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

This is where our bench could show us up, a few out there are dead on their feet.

This highlights the issue I was mentioning with t Sasa though (And Silva if he was fit/there). Desperately look like we need a change for the front line, but neither of them would be what you want for this role or type of game.

 

[Alan]

Cunha is crucial for these moments, he knows how to drive forward in a way that continues to pressure the defense but also takes extra seconds.

He’s the most composed player we’ve got and would be well-served by that rubbing off on someone other than Lemina.

 

[The Bear]

Shit kick from Sa. Only had to get it up the middle FFS.

 

[The Bear]

Hugo and Doc coming on.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Doherty man

 

[Alan]

Shit kick from Sa. Only had to get it up the middle FFS.

Literally the entire pitch to aim at lmfao

There’s that word “composure” again.

 

[The Bear]

For.... RAN and Cunha.

 

[Loki]

We`ll be fine now, here comes the Doc.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Hopefully Doc tries nothing other than heading it and kicking it as far as he can.

 

[Alan]

Man Hwang is so good in moments. What a player he’d be if he wasn’t as consistent as a roulette wheel.

 

[EpsomWolf]

Only able to follow on here, you guys are doing a good job… it’s agonising.
Come on lads, get this over the line

 

[Templeton Peck]

Is Doc up front??

 

[Freddeno]

Hwang, what a transformation this season, never saw this coming
