[Wee Baby Seamus]

Love to turn on the match and hear Karen Carney instead of one of the dinosaurs.

Her input is so good

Zouma looks uncomfortable in a five like he always has tbh

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Christensen passing to Jorginho and Jorginho immediately passing it back to Christensen ad infinitum

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Azpilicueta EXTREMELY bailed out Jorg there. Great drive from James

 

[Peen]

Fantastic from Werner

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Blown away by just how good our pressing is. Stats said that, before Lampard was sacked, we had the biggest drop off in terms of pressing between this year and last year in the league. Looks really fantastic now.

 

[Peen]

You can hear so much from Tuchel this game. Mic must be super near him. Hearing his instructions everytime the commentary is quiet

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

What the f*** is the reffing here? Havertz pushed out, no foul, and then Kov called for an all ball challenge?

Think it was a good defensive play by Allen and then it was on Alonso I think for a push

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Is it Havertz? Is it an own goal? Who cares!

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Well done boy.

 

[Peen]

CHO was brilliant in the leadup to that goal

Not sure what happened to Everton’s defense

I don’t like Alonso but it was nice to see a hard pass into feet. It creates chaos

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

If Alonso is a quicker player then that mistake from Iwobi becomes a goal

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

So Christensen is the best CB in the league now

 

[AB13]

All you have to do is string like 4 passes together and this Chelsea team is forced back into a consolidating block. Everton have only achieved that a few times so far, but they are starting to wake up..
Chelsea's settled press is unstructured and undercoached.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

So Christensen is the best CB in the league now

For real?

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Holy shit what a save from Pickford

For real?

Absolutely not, but he has been in great form

 

[Peen]

Great reflex from Pickford

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Handball clear

 

[Peen]

Oh man. These angles aren’t flattering but I didn’t think it was a handball live.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

That seemed harsh, looked to me like it was in the armpit/shoulder area

Does it work the same way as it does in the NHL where if it’s inconclusive, you revert to the call on the field?

One angle it was clear imo
