The NBCSN commentator: “Courtois would have saved that. Simple as”. No, it would probably have nutmegged him. Give the player some credit for an amazing strike FFS. Gotta be pretty special to beat caballero from there.
As an outsider looking in I have always said I see a mistake in lloris. I always feel he needs to stay on his line as his shot stopping can be brilliant but his control of the area not so much
I'll say it again. Son cannot play the centre forward role. He needs to go out left and Dele into the middle.
I agree, but I wonder if 60 mins could be too late. I don’t wanna see us go behind again. It feels like we’ve had a get out of jail free card so far. I don’t think we’ll get two.
I always feel Son is under rated somewhat, but yeah he needs playing right Son is stereotypical Asian player in that his energy and harrying of players is a great asset
Vorm looked more solid than Loris in the last game I saw him play. Perhaps Vorm is more used to not having much to do and then reacting.
If our mids can get hold of the ball like they usually do I’d be more comfortable but the times we do have it they’re being uncharacteristically sloppy with it. Perhaps just a bit of calmness is needed and hopefully Poch can just try and ease things in the dressing room, remind these lads they’re phenomenally gifted technical players and it’s time to start showing it.
Nah he’s always had poor distribution. This season it’s just got even worse somehow. Phenomenal shot stopper and he’s so quick to act as a sweeper but he’s made a few sloppy mistakes this season which is unlike him.
No, it's always been the weakest part of his game. He's good at playing the sweeper keeper role and his shot stopping's generally good. Distribution's poor and his near post is always vulnerable.
Wow, what a goal by Eriksen. TBH we are lucky to be going in level because for the last 20 minutes or so Chelsea have been ripping us wide open. Every time we get posession its just tippy tappy football trying to play one twos but its too easy for Chelsea. As others have mentioned Son just isnt a number nine and we cant go direct. Until Kane comes on Blue and white is correct play Dele number 9 and Son out on the left in his favoured position. Lamela needs to stay out more wide on the right because he just congests the play coming inside all the time.
Davies has been excellent this season but in both games against Juve and currently so far today, he’s been poor. Think we should look at bringing Danny on.
