GWT: PL Matchweek 6

[Evilo]

That's Tuchel though.
Défend and cross your fingers for a counter or set play, or some kind of magic by one of the forward.

 

[AB13]

Tuchel is more pragmatic than Chelsea fans are willing to admit. Nuno went for it a lot more against City with agressice fullbacks and got a result that way.

matter of time, more to come

 

[koyvoo]

Well, no they have no choice but to try to take the initiative.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

That was coming for about 50 minutes.

 

[Blender]

Messy goal, but City has been the better team today.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Maybe chelsea can attempt to play football now?

 

[King Makar19]

Lukaku being shit vs a top squad.... 110 millions to beat Burnley

What do you expect him to do? Chelsea aren’t playing football that’s not him

 

[hatterson]

Watching AWB and McTominay try to play back and forth to create something out wide there was physically painful.

 

[Jussi]

Shaw and Maguire injured... Maguire still on.

 

[Blender]

Thiago Silva saves a goal.

Not sure what game you're watching, but the issue is that City's pressing has been genuinely perfect, not that Chelsea aren't playing.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Raise the flag on those

 

[Blender]

Miles offside.

I hate this rule where they don't call it when it's this blatant.

 

[NyQuil]

These late calls are so irresponsible.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Not sure what game you're watching, but the issue is that City's pressing has been genuinely perfect, not that Chelsea aren't playing.

You played 8 defensive players how did you expect to attack with a midfield of kova, Kante and Jorginho?

There's been an obvious and immediate difference in Chelsea's interest in playing upfield after the goal. That's Tuchel.

 

[hatterson]

Zero reason to leave the flag down there. He was miles offside.

 

[Blender]

Alonso starting over Chilwell when we're just going to have him sit deep most of the game also made no sense since Alonso can't defend very well. His strength comes from being used like a winger who comes in from deep.

 

[NyQuil]

LOL, defending Lukaku like Drogba. Wrap both arms around him.

 

[King Makar19]

Harry red card Getting lucky. Dean favorimg Utd ... no surprise

 

[John Pedro]

Chelsea winning the UCL last season was a desgrace. Such a boring team.

This season they've Lukaku who's a freaking unit at least, but last year with Werner, Havertz up front... total fluke.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

You played 8 defensive players how did you expect to attack with a midfield of kova, Kante and Jorginho?

The same way that we put 3 past Spurs with those three on the pitch last week?

Chelsea have been trying to play out from the back the entire game, City's pressing has just made that impossible.
