the other side of preseason. no effort to get time in first 11 legs. 45mins at best and it very clearly is showing here. there's absolutely nothing in the press. nothing in holding ball. just random hacks up the park
So inconsistent with handballs atm. I don’t think it was handball but… seeing the dunk one where his arm was tucked into his body and hit his back arm.. was less of a handball than this one.
Ball over the top for Nunez to chase now. Our midfield has been owned and will be many times this season without reinforcements.
the wide areas are wide open the central area is wide open. all their hacks at the back need do is swing a leg and they are in with a clearance put out wide.
This is hard to watch now, looks like we have run out of energy and ideas, like the opener against Fulham last year. James going off is good for us
Chilwell and James give Chelsea an extra dimension - but both are injury prone…..with James hobbling off as I type.
we were not fit then either. whatever they have in their heads they are no longer even close to being the top 5 or 6 fittest teams. they've changed how they go about it and it's clearly not working.
they are in space. we are letting them be in it and won't get close to prevent the easy pass out there. you have to go do one or the other.
the shocker here is cheslea are no better than Fulham were. they really are not. not shocked at salah petulance.
