Chelsea 2-1 Newcastle United (27/10/24)


Recommended Posts

Standard sloppy game and influid performance at Chelsea that usually results in a draw or narrow loss no matter who the manager is.

Hating this season though, feels interminable, only October?! Feels like March. Just feels like its going to be one of those middling ones that seemed common place pre Ashley.

Tonali made just 13 passes in his 68 minutes today. It’s bizarre that he’s barely involved in our play.

The lad never wanted to be here from the off. Throw in his year not playing football, I think he just wants this all to end and go back home. Really don't think we'll ever see the Tonali that plays well for his country. Shame for us but cutting our losses might not be the worst thing.

nah, don’t think it’s got anything to do with that. He’s constantly running around and trying.

 

It’s a system issue. We’re making him do the same stuff that we make Sean Longstaff do instead of taking advantage of his increased ability on the ball to try and control games.

Decent performance away against a decent team, got done by individual errors and Palmer. We easily could’ve got something out of that. Only Man City can go there and be in complete control all match.

 

Feel bad for Howe, backlash is unwarranted after that performance. He was once again let down by his players.

 

 

 

Brilliant response.

Must be difficult to feel attached to wins or losses when you play 90 seconds a game if you're lucky.

Still should not be messing about after ANY defeat.

Good in spells, sloppy in others, punished but could and maybe should have had a point. Thought the ref was absolutely shocking and the Bruno non-decision set the tone (particularly as they scored not long after) for the afternoon.

 

Pope: 5.5

Livramento: 5

Schär: 4.5

Burn: 7

Hall: 6.5

Bruno: 7

Tonali: 6

Joelinton: 6.5

Barnes: 5

Isak: 6

Almiron: 5.5

This is probably the closer scores.  Disagree with Pope.  Yes his kicking is not good but still he pulled off two or three super saves.

If you can’t kick you have to save that second goal. Think he tried to steal to the backpost but Palmer is good enough to notice that and made him pay.

It was more the Palmer goal I had a problem with tbh, likewise Schär being nowhere near close enough to block the shot .

Think Hall was one of the better players and seems to be getting more confident with each game. Shame about the middle of the defence. 

 

He looked like he was relishing it which bodes well for the future.

need to go full strength in the cup.

maybe kelly in for burn.

Burn has been one of our better performers of late so not sure what you are trying to say.  Is Kelly better than Burn?  Don't think so personally.

pace. 

OK, I'll give you that.  However has Kelly shown anything spectacular that removes Burn from the line-up.  I certainly haven't seen it, pace or no pace.

eddie doesnt think he's ready to start yet.

he needs 90 minutes alongside schar to get him used to our back 4 and "system".

home cup game is ideal.

he may turn out to be a better option than burn. we'll never know.
