    A win, 3 goals scored, all by forward players, no goals conceded and no injuries!

    Drink it in folks, heady days!!!

    Anyone listen to the Wimbledon game?

    According to people at the match it was fairly one sided (even the penalty was debatable, a Sanchez punch of the ball that was deemed a foul (cough Onana)).

    But then listening to Nizaar Kinsella he thought Wimbledon put up a good fight??

    Perhaps in terms of score yes, but very little in terms of actual threat I would have thought.

    Ah great!

    Genuinely didn't know there was cameras at the game, heard of people in the crowd live streaming on insta!

    You'd have to wonder why Chelseatv or the app didn't stream it officially

    Things really haven't changed even if most of the players have.

    Still seem to be incapable of making the right decision in the final third and on the rare occasion we create a chance we are unable to finish it.

    That was dreadful. Hard to see where the money has gone. no urgency, no creativity, dreadful choices in the last third. A very anemic performance.

    Mudryks goal was superb



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,993 ✭✭✭✭Panthro


    We've won a game huzzah!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,579 ✭✭✭The Davestator


    Very good all round last night, albeit with some luck on the second. Gallagher was very good, as was Caiceido. We have a tough run coming up, so we need some form.

    Looking a lot more positive now. Team beginning to gel . Hopefully we can kick on from here now.

    Annnnd breathe!

    Most bonkers game I've seen. Spurs running rings round us until they scored. Then it all unravelled for them. We did not look good at all against 9 men. But somehow Jackson walks away with a hattrick! Bonkers.

    It'll do him the world of good, he won't care how they go in as long as they do!



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,405 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Oh for sure, and against Spurs in a derby certainly won't hurt his confidence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,025 ✭✭✭✭duploelabs


    3 point lane, never a doubt 😅



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,579 ✭✭✭The Davestator


    Was a wild game, but we were helped by the naïve approach of Ange sticking with the high line. Their keeper and our poor passing kept them in it for a while. Laughable that he is getting congratulated for his approach. Should have sat back and tried to defend their point and there was a good chance we wouldn't have scored



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,025 ✭✭✭✭duploelabs


    Thought I'd recovered from the spurs game but Holy sh!t



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,522 ✭✭✭Killinator


    That's some week of football!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,262 ✭✭✭bullpost


    Brilliant game. Thought we were done at 3-4 but great comeback. Palmer been fantastic so far , some cojones to take that penalty in those circumstances for a young lad.

    Anyone else think we might get a win tonight?! I've this strange feeling of hope that we'll come away with 3 points.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,522 ✭✭✭Killinator


    No matter who is manager it always seems to be 1 step forward 2 steps back 😣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,236 ✭✭✭Garzorico


    A ton of dead wood in the team. I think Silva has become a major problem in the team. Mistake after mistake and it’s feeding through the whole back line.

    Nkuknu looks quality after 30mins watching him but the rest of the players I am not so sure. Team, state, manager, players…could be any of those that is the problem but I suspect it’s all of the above.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,262 ✭✭✭bullpost


    Dreamt we scored six goals in the semi-final of a cup last night. It was a dream - right?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,579 ✭✭✭The Davestator


    Be nice to play with that much pace against Villa on Friday, but its a short turnaround



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 139 ✭✭InsideEdge


    I think you are being very harsh. Silva, while slow, is our most experienced player and defender and without him organising the defense Chelsea would be in a much worse position. He is there to develop the likes of Colwill, Badiashile and Desasi. You seem to be writing off all the players apart from Nkunku? That is mad, these are young players who need time to develop and they will get better, Poch has proven to be a good coach of younger players and needs time to bring them along. There seems to be some Chelsea fans who think we should be immediately challenging for the league just because we spent a lot of money, that's not the way it works.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 139 ✭✭InsideEdge


    Having Chilwell at left back and Colwill in centre defense made a huge difference to how we attacked Middlesboro and I hope we see that again tomorrow night. The team looked a lot better balanced on Tuesday once the first 10 minutes were out of the way.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,262 ✭✭✭bullpost


    I thought we could have done worse than sign Henderson tbh. Old heads needed to guide that team as you say.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,993 ✭✭✭✭Panthro


    Come on you Blues

    We had our chances but inability to finish and lots of unforced errors did for us. Palmer seemed very subdued I thought.
