GWT: PL Matchday 2

[Blender]

Chelsea is looking really good in the Leicester end, but we're struggling to move the ball up the field from the back and getting trapped quite a bit.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Fuchs looks really washed up.

Was impressed by Kante, Ricardo and Pedro.

Fuchs has barely played in the last year and is being hung out to dry by Maddison, so considering that he looks pretty good. But he's definitely past his peak.

 

[These Are The Days]

Either that Chelsea front line is a bomb diggity or Rodgers is not long for this job. Oh my Lord...

 

[KJS14]

Giroud always really underappreciated, so many great little link up plays already today. Obviously not a great goal scorer, but he creates tons of space for others with his movement and quick passes.

I genuinely think that there are few forwards in the world as good in the buildup as he is. If you have good players to run off of him, he's such an asset. I'm not sure if France win the WC in 2018 without him leading the line, because his linkup with Mbappe and Griezmann played such a huge role. It's why I found it so frustrating that he wasn't first-choice last season, because he and Hazard had unbelievable chemistry.

I didn't always appreciate him at Arsenal, but some people continue to crap on his time with us. Giroud is maybe the best build-up striker in the world and scores a worldie every now and then. He was a great fit alongside Ozil and Alexis at the time and some fans still don't realize it. If he scored the extra 5-10 goals that everyone always complained about, he would have been starting for Barca, not Arsenal.

Zouma being a disaster again.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Rough start.

 

[Halladay]

Chelsea is getting dominated so far this half early on.

 

[Blender]

I don't think Mount is coming back far enough into our half, it's leaving us with limited options to move the ball quickly out of our half.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Turns out moving your #10 into a central position makes him really dangerous! Maddison has looked great to start the half.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Much better movement and passing from LC this half. It actually seems like they know what they’re doing with the ball now.

 

[Fro]

that was coming

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Seemed like a matter of time before that happened.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Yep seems about right

 

[Blender]

Deserved, Leicester has been the better team the 2nd half so far.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Fourth official nearly gave me a stroke putting up Willian for Christensen lol

 

[Blender]

Chelsea is such a mess right now.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Fuchs just destroyed Pedro, holy hell

 

[Chimaera]

Chelsea should lose. They’re bad at the back

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Nearly pocket it right back the other way.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Other than the blitz of the first 10 minutes, Chelsea have been mediocre af. Not only are they way too passive, they're awful in possession. They can't string two or three passes together. Seems like it's all down to some individual piece of quality to make a difference.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Chelsea sucks... completely dominated this half

 

[Blender]

Disregarding the scoreline, Chelsea were better again Manchester United than they have been today.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Kepa much like De gea is wasted on an awful team

Perhaps he should perform to at least the level of what we paid for him before you go declaring him too good for the club? He hasn't even been good in this game for one.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Lmao turns out Fuchs can just two hand shove Pedro the ground and there's no foul
