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

[Del Woppio]

This has been utterly shit. There's no pattern to this at all, I have no idea what we're trying to do. Ball retention has been absolutely horrific. Only terrible finishing and some excellent individual defensive moments keeping us in it.

 

[YoungWolf]

As soon as we get the ball every single one of them looks like they haven't got a clue what to do.

I'd GON asking too much intricacy from them? Too many details?

Are you trying to Olofinjana O’Neil? He’s crap and so are the players mostly

 

[The Bear]

Unlucky that Hwang couldn't get that under control first time as it would have been a certain goal.

Semedo is doing a man marking job on Sterling and (so far) has him in his pocket but let’s concentrate on his lack of attacking outlet…

Has been like that for years, so must be down to the players

I'm saying if he's overloading them with positional details trying to be too clever, it may be backfiring.

 

[Alan]

Rayan is just as bad as Semedo at making good situations pay. Just a brutal lack of threat on both wings and it’s killing us.

He's gone past Semedo a couple of times. He's done OK but not pocketed him at all.

 

[The Bear]

Cunha there with the ball just ran straight into a defender without even trying anything. Abysmal.

We're putting more pressure on but it's just pot luck once it gets to their box.

 

[Alan]

Really good spell now. Make it count!

 

[YoungWolf]

Cunha has been very poor so far

 

[The Bear]

Oof. Best chance so far. Good ball from Sarabia, tough to hit a bouncing ball for Hwang.

 

[t3ch]

Come on hwang gotta hit the target at least, good ball in behind

 

[darlowolf64]

Fucking hell Hwang

 

[Del Woppio]

Fucking hell Channy that's shocking from there

 

[Dire Wolf]

Improved in the last 10 minutes. At least we've tried to get forward.

 

[Alan]

Oh Hwang, close! Had more time than he realized.

 

[Jack Regan]

Take a touch man, no need to hit that first time with the goalkeeper retreating.

 

[jd1981]

It’s a poor finish keeper should be at least making a save

 

[YoungWolf]

Went for completely the wrong technique. Great pass by Pablo
