Match Day Thread Chelsea vs Bristol Rovers

[StanDMan]

Wow.. 3-2 in 48 mins.

Great work by our offense. But Defense is hopeless as usual against a League one opp at Home.
That was usual 3 from our starting back 4.

Anymore proof needed??
We have arguably one of the worst back 4.

Matic is fast becoming Mikel 2.
Fab cannot be carried by anyone. I wish he doesn't break Kante like he did Matic .

JT Comes in to replace Aina in the final few minutes. Hazard came on as well.
Way to screw up Solanke's & Chaloabh's day.

Jesus Did Weep!!

Pool has similar defensive woes like we do. They are winning 5-0 at Burton.

The boys were in complete control in the first half. It seemed like a turkey shoot, but I'm very concerned by the lack of shooting skill upfront. In my opinion they should have banged 5 goals by half time. Signor Conte needs to learn from this.

Wasn't a great show but Bristol offered very little, got a goal out of nothing to make it 2-1 and later, a very very soft pen (classic forward runs into the shoulder of the opponent and falls over).

Won't use this game as a judge for anything. It was just up from a training match.

We're into the next round and blooded some fringe / youth. Job done.

I like the eternal optimists in you guys.

I hope that is the case and guess I should stop seeing "the glass half way through to be full empty".

3 wins from 3 this year and no controversies. Looks better than this time last season
