Chelsea (H) 25/8: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Jinky]

Not sure why people are pointing the finger at Gaz. Toti & RAN have been an absolute clown show today and it’s not as if Gaz is blessed with any options on the bench to do much about it. He could switch back to a back 5, but then we nullify the threat going forward. We’ve loaned out our only other option at left back.

This is mainly on the players, for me.

Presumably GON decided that RAN was going to be his left back in a back four before Bueno left. I think you can blame him for that, but I generally agree with everything else.

Cucurella is such a prick.

 

[The Bear]

And here comes VAR to send our best CB off....

 

[Lichens]

Nothing in that at all

 

[wanderer89]

If nothing else I'd really like to see Podence chin Cucurella.

Haven’t heard anything from the fans towards the owners. Difficult to pick it all up and those in the ground may say otherwise, but if there’s a time to shove a rocket up Shi’s arse, I’d suggest it’s when you’re rock bottom of the table and 2-5 down at home.

 

[Mel Evo]

General sense of shock and amazement at how bad the defending is so far rather than anger.

 

[BeaverWolf]

We need Kilman as well!

Why people berate Kilman is beyond me. Our ex-manager was happy to pay a big sum for him & he should know.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Hoping we actually sign a centre back off the back of this.

It doesn’t matter if you have a manager who doesn’t understand that you need your central midfielders to protect the space in front of them.

Hey Max, shouldn't you posting here instead: https://www.kumb.com

We keep selling our best players. Maybe we have to. But it really is that simple.

This makes no sense, we were terrible defensively all last season, especially when Dawson got injured, we still had our 2 'best players' then. Of course its silly to start calling for GONs head already but after a full pre season he just won't get much time if we continue shipping goals like this.

Could buy a ticket and start it going?

 

[Jinky]

Another disallowed goal. Lovely.

 

[Lichens]

Fuck off toti

Any need?

 

[Carsy]

Doesn’t need to be offside there either

 

[Squeak]

Marvelous.... not as if we don't know what Neto can do.
