NobbySolano Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Early reactions: Undeserved for us but class from Almiron. He has looked sharp. I think first or second play of the game, he fooled Cucurella by going to the end line and using his right foot. Hopefully we see more of that. I thought our lack of pace at the back showed - I am not sure what Botman was upset about, he just missed it. Before going out, Schar was also a step behind the Chelsea front. Miley again looking like he belongs, im fucking ecstatic for him. Isak... not up to snuff. Its a preseason game so idgaf, but does not look good. Gordon did well. Tonali average. Joelinton got better as the game got going. I am excited to see Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Miley aside our weakness has been the spine of the team - Schar, Botman, Tonali, Joelinton, and Isak. I'm not even really sure what the exact problem is but something is not working through the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isak looks half asleep Gordon and Miley have been canny, Almiron at a push as well. he looks a lot sharper than he did last season. Pretty crisp passing and seems to have more zip.

Can’t even see the corner down the left hand side from the main camera. Awful planning no matter how many holsters you can buy for branded in your favourite franchise.

Geordie Boyo Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 It’s not like we’ve really got options on the bench, so hopefully they get it together second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nortoon Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Am I correct that Chelsea spent 60m on Cucu and 90m on Mudryk? 150m on that shite left side. Could get you 1 and a half Bellingham. Gordon is looking amazing this year. We need some pace in our backline though, hope Schar is ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Some decent performances here and some pretty average ones too. Typical pre season. We're pretty sloppy in possession sometimes as well which is quite annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Feels like pace is a big factor in this game. Mudryk and Jackson have caused us all sorts of problems at the back, and Gordon and Miggy have done likewise at the other end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious how much he has fucked it off since he moved to Chelsea. Looks like every second weed smoking Spaniard you see outside Europe too which confirms this.

It’s a much better run out than going to like Japan and playing a bunch of their local teams. That being said, I’d love to see us go somewhere like Brazil or Argentina and play their teams too though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
