Welcome to the ho-ho-holiday fixture season.

The upcoming schedule is insane.

I will get to watch a lot of soccer at least.

Huge game for Brighton, picking up 3 points away to Fulham would bode amazing down the stretch.

Yea it would suck for the players. Love it as a fan though. Makes up for the lack of CL football in the middle of the week.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Full schedule for the Nor’Easter on Wednesday/Thursday. I’ll take it.

Extremely surprised to see Giroud over Abraham, and also Havertz over Kovacic. Hopefully playing in midfield rather than wide will give Havertz a chance to get into a groove.

Never have I been more excited to see Pulisic on a teamsheet.

I'm surprised with only rotating 1 player when we played on Saturday.

Gotta be because we don't play again until Monday.

Yea, still with how crazy this schedule is I would have preferred a bit of rotation with Abraham starting, one of Gilmour/Jorginho in the midfield, etc.

If we beat Everton I think that would've happened, but Lampard is scared about starting the holidays with two losses on the bounce.

 

[hatterson]

I was gonna say, if that was given as a handball, the entire system should be firebombed.

Pulisic is giving Semedo a lesson

pulisic doing the work of two wingers today lol

He's been all over the pitch, nice to see.

 

[KlausJopling]

Kante back to playing a position he is best at is a treat to watch.

He's healthy again as well, he had a lot of injuries last year.

 

[Peen]

holy fk that was close

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Really wish we had a goal to show for it, but not a bad first half. I don't think I've ever heard a crossbar hit that loud.

Pulisic looks absolutely unbelievable, the chemistry he and Mount have is awesome. Havertz coming into it a bit more

Agreed a goal would have been ideal. Decent half overall and better attacking movement in the final third.

Liam McHugh may as well just do all of these segments with a cactus placed on a chair opposite him. Tim Howard is such a knock-off.

admittedly i don't watch much of non chelsea football unless it's a big game but i expected "more" from havertz after reading stuff i saw here

not sure what "more" is but "more"

 

[Peen]

that's the big beautiful frenchman right there

edit.. offside fk lmao

Giroud!!

Just like with Pulisic last year, I'm going to give him some time to get adjusted. He's had injuries, he missed a month due to COVID, and the change in teams/leagues is a big adjustment to begin with.
