Malmo parking a trailer

BlueMann:
That was a LOVELY pass from Hudson-Odoi. Tidy finish from Ziyech.

Nice hold up play too from Kai, very impressive.

This has always been my problem with CHO. Everytime he makes a move for the empty spaces in front of him, good things happen.

Dont know why he's always avoiding it

Getting tired of CHO ignoring spaces. Pulisic should come on already

fredoooooo:
Sorry that was Ziyech , ori e daru lorun e .. whats with all these diving

All the likes, yet it was Ziyech responsible

User09:
CHO annoys me a lot with the way he ignores the space in front of him.

See what happens when he doesn't

CHO annoys me a lot with the way he ignores the space in front of him.

Kante hasnt been good today

CHO takes too long with his balls

Popizaino turning a blind eye to all Jorginho forward passes

Chilwell starting to drift and isolate himself

CHO just cant play 90 mins

Almajirihunter:
He wears this nervous look as well, but he’s doing well

No he isnt

This Sarr guy has me all panicky

Alonso smoking serious weed

Sarr, Kepa and Saul all responsible

This Sarr is a poor man's Zouma

BikeMan:
Ziyech is a very average player. I can't categorize this guy as a winger and he's just so proud.

Yeah...Something's off about his body language

User09:
Well....so far so good, We arent there yet

Also I was analyzing some stat breakdown yesterday and I can tell you that we clearly have the highest post shot xG differential in the whole league so contrary to what's been said, our defense hasnt been that great, just that we havent been conceding.

Again, we've also scored the 2nd highest number of goals so far; Infact if u ignore the 5 goals outlier from Liverpool in the last game, we could be 1st, So not that bad

Also remember that we are nicking results despite many of our key players from last year are unavailable/not in form ( Silva, Jorginho, Kante, Pulisic, Havertz etc)

Anyway like I said, things are still settling in place. Let's see what TT has done by December

Scholes is right about our defense. I did mention it earlier in the second paragraph of my quote

Jodera:
Lol... But he said currently na. And he also said this, esp the bolded which was explicitly what I'm talking about



And this also, which was a response to Lukaku and the attack



I can't talk about the others, but I know where User.09 stands concerning Lukaku from his posts cos what mostly I understand from his post is improvement from lukaku

While English isnt my favorite language, My posts are very clear and not open to interpretation. I became public enemy on this forum cos I dont rate Mount.

Doesnt bother me one bit cos I have a history and I'm almost always right about these things.

About Lukaku, u're completely right in your assessment of things

nateevs:
I have watched the game three times now and I can confirm this is absolutely true.

Suspected it first in the Malmo game.

I watch a lot of space interactions and movements of our players so it wasnt hard to spot. But I doubt he can replicate similar tactics against the big teams

Rewatching the game now, I noticed something which also happened with Malmo (with Azpilicueta).

Looks like TT is resigned to the fact that our wingbacks cant find space at the wings to penetrate the last cm and is now having them take up inside positions in front of the double 6’s. Chilwell and James did so plenty of times today.

This sort of dynamism is why I ask for patience with TT on Lukaku. He's like a chess player with plenty moves in his cabinet

Joezinho:
Norwich is a historically bad PL team but great job by Chelsea. Shout out Havertz who I felt played well despite not getting a goal as I think he was the only person who was actually marked all game.

Agree

Joezinho:
Whenever chelsea play with lukaku, all your attackers just try to cross it in towards him without thinking. Without lukaku chelsea's attack is a lot more fluid.

Not saying lukaku is bad but TT need to find a way to integrate him fast.. Just my thought sha.

They'll come around to accept this fact. Dont worry.

I have said it many times here that TT's 3-4-3 heavily relies on 3 counterpressing fluid forwards which Lukaku isnt.

Only way forward is a change in system and dynamics

rooftops:
..make them create league for them . Their midfield should be the worst I have seen in a while, you can carry ball from your half down to their box without anyone throwing tackle

I almost put a glue in my eyes watching their midfield. Even with 3 there, Kovacic and Jorginho kept strolling around.

Their coach must be mad if he thinks Gilmour cant break into that middle

donstan18:
Are you sad we won?

If yes, we know the reason.

I would accord you a response cos when it's all said and done it's all bants to you.

The quote below has and will always be my view about the whole thing

Norwich with a terrible performance.

Dont understand how that team keeps getting promoted season in season out

Almajirihunter:
You set him up for drags and later cry victim, the difference between the two camps is one hates Mount from the heart you can feel it in their words while the other is obviously beefing Havertz just to defend mount, we knew the origin of all this only those who joined later can be swindled

Keep propping the lies and twisting things to fool yourself.

BikeMan:
Havertz can’t compete with Mount as a midfielder and they had to move him to play as a 9. If Lukaku was on the pitch today, you people would have unzipped your trousers. Five goals scored and your striker does not have a goal or assist yet, what do you think of that?

Stop capping and get with the program on our formation

5 goals up and the flies wont stop perching. Yet they say he isnt most hated on here.

Replicate the same with Mount and watch them start playing victim

nateevs:
What? This game or this season?

This season. Of course he cant play this game

nateevs:
Who says he can't?

Well he hasnt so far

popizaino:
Is he not on loan ?

He's been on bench even prior this match
