Chelsea 2020-2021: Campeones de Europa

[MoJames 8244]

Sevilla down a man and a goal now.

[ztejas 43394]

Do we like Werner on the RW? I kind of like Werner on the RW.

Didn't I call this about wanting to see him and Tammy up top together?

[MoJames 8244]

Honestly not getting to watch a ton. How's he looking.

 

Kai with COVID sucks

Just burning them down the sideline. Playing aggressive, fast football. Seems like he operates a little better with some more space and time rather than being rushed to make a decision up the middle.

Not that we should really take much away from this one. Not sure Rennes is very good.

Reece had a money assist on our 3rd goal. 

(And as I type this Wener misses a nice squared ball by James on an open net)

[ztejas 43394]

So Chelsea, Texas and SMU all play at the same time. 

Lame.

[Scraps 13558]

That was a nice goal by Abraham

[ztejas 43394]

Nice ball Tammy 

[Scraps 13558]

So close

[Scraps 13558]

Lol what a goal that was

[ztejas 43394]

Ziyech is so sexy 

[ztejas 43394]

Ziyech is a motherfucking revelation

[Scraps 13558]

The beatdown is on

[ztejas 43394]

Pour. It. On.

 

First in GD biiiiitch

[ztejas 43394]

Premature but I want to believe

Whatever they ate yesterday, they need more of that.

Had to make a slight title alteration due to recent form.

Let's pray I don't jinx it.

[ztejas 43394]

I see no one got up at 6:30 this morn. 

Another solid win. Starting to worry about Puli - but we are certainly rolling right now without him.

[MoJames 8244]

Great win. Felt like a 4-0 win. Puli will be back and add another layer of depth.

[ztejas 43394]

Nice break, clean strike by CHO. Good start.

These white kits are clean.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

That was a sexy goal.  People like to give Mount shit, but he made that work.

Always rated him.

[ztejas 43394]

Not a good stretch from Chilwell there. Shake it off.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Giroud and Werner definitely don't have the same chemistry as Tammy and Werner. 

And that was poor set piece marking by Silva. 

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

And Giroud saves the day.  We are going through to the knockout rounds.

[ztejas 43394]

We got sloppy and played without urgency between goals. Should have known that 2 was needed in this one and played accordingly.

Thankfully we were able to turn it on just enough in the last 8 to put it away. 

Phenomenal goal by Giroud - dare I say legendary for him if we can make a decent run at this thing.

[APMP 686]

Word on the street is that Pulisic will be ready for the weekend. Team is on fire though, so wonder if he might start on the bench.

Wouldn't call today's result on fire. But Lampard's hand was forced a bit with Spurs looming.

I would imagine we see Pulisic as a super sub around ~65'. Today was a perfect example of how he can elevate our ceiling.

[MoJames 8244]

 

Such a great stretch of games, fun to watch.

Woof. And y'all thought the pink kits were bad.

At least I'm, I'm hoping those look better in person/on TV - the colors seem weird in that graphic.

Yellow and blue kits are nice, the third kit I'm not sure of yet.

Gawd awful.

Blue with three white stripes on the shoulders should always be the home shirt.

Nah. That was a good decade plus with Chelsea but home kit has historically been without the adidas stripes.

[TexArcher 37734]

Understood.  But the shoulder stripes were badass and immediately differentiated from any other solid blue team.

Lets go Blues! 

[ztejas 43394]

Drink everytime Wener is offsides. 

[InkaUtexas 25736]

I will take his aggressive nature. He gets open and shoots. 

[ztejas 43394]

Looking like we're going to need Pulisic for 3 points today. Assuming he's actually fit. Chemistry down the left side is half a step off. Ziyech could always pull something out of his ass, though.

Of course. I'm being a little spoiled. Keeping the flag down a bit more often is all there is in the way of him becoming a bona fide world-class striker. 

[InkaUtexas 25736]

He will be. Young still. 

[ztejas 43394]

I'd like to see +Havertz +Pulisic, -Mount -Werner at 60'-65' and +Giroud - Tammy @ 70'-75'

Should be close to what Frank does I'm guessing

[InkaUtexas 25736]

Yeah good plan. Good half, but need more chances forward. Gotta say I do like the defense. Close well and no one is getting excited or making mistakes.

They're still making me nervous and haven't been tested a lot yet, but you're right - they are pretty settled and not chasing balls. Silva had a bad giveaway there in the 41st or 42nd. Mendy is nails. The best defense we've played is our ball control in the other half.

[ztejas 43394]

Fuck. Tammy had that!

Related question - can we put Giroud's head on Tammy's body? That player would score 30 goals.

[TexArcher 37734]

James's crosses are so sexy.  You've got to score at least once on those last two.

[ztejas 43394]

Reguilon is such a bitchass flopper. 

[ztejas 43394]

Tammy. Wtf is you doing baby?
