Love the Chelsea XI, btw.

We can't keep playing it over the course of the season with only 4 central midfield players on the squad

You're probably right, but for a game this huge this early I think it's perfect.

Agreed, but for big matches like this or earlier in the week I think it's fine.

 

[Peen]

Agree i think it's our best formation but if we want to do that over a season we need another central midfielder to bring off the bench

Morata should have scored on both those chances but awesome start

 

[Blender]

Great run by Kante. Ball may have been a bit high for Morata to get over it, or he didn't get enough height. Close one though.

 

[Peen]

I wonder why we play Cahill on the left side. He played the right side with Terry did he not? Doesn't rudiger prefer the left side as well?

Genuinely curious

David Silva really needs to let his hair grow back in

Probably the only thing that every poster on this board would agree with

 

[Peen]

Jesus christ courtois

 

[maclean]

How hilarious a goal would that have been

 

[Blender]

Ridiculous by Courtois.

If Kante keeps making these runs, we'll get a goal from them. Manchester City hasn't been picking him up very well.

 

[Peen]

Both teams look vulnerable. Morata with two chances, kante had the space down the wing, that was barely offside otherwise morata was through on goal... meanwhile city seem to be bursting through midfield and chelsea have been shakey playing out...

 

[Peen]

Willian? Wtf?

 

[Blender]

Willian over Bats is an odd choice for striker.

Or pedro...

 

[Blender]

Or pedro...

Yup or even Pedro. At least with a Hazard-Pedro duo both are pretty free flowing and can move back and forth into the striker position.

 

[maclean]

What happened to Morata? He looked fine going off

Looked like a hamstring to me but very well could be wrong.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Only, thing worse than that half was SIlva's hair. Seriously he lose a bet or something? lol

 

[John Pedro]

I really didn't expect Richarlison to have this kind of impact in the Premier League that early.

He shaved his head so people won't confuse him with (Bernardo) Silva.

 

[Ar-too]

I feel like Pep just watched Sterling sky that ball into the stands and said to himself "I will never be able to teach him anything".

 

[Blender]

Willian has brought almost nothing since coming on.

 

[John Pedro]

Kevin de Bruyne is good at it

 

[Ar-too]

De Bruyne!

Willian has brought nothing because who would he bring it to? They're playing with no striker and no target at all. That couldn't have been a more defensive sub, ever.
