[InkaUtexas 25919]

Well that sucked. 

[ztejas 43422]

Just need to buy more players.

I like how you think. Thank you for that. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Felix looks fantastic so far.

[Horny Bull 2759]

How the fuck do they not even look at that?

[APMP 688]

Robbed by VAR, awesome

[MoJames 8244]

Man so far Mudryk has given up way too many possessions with questionable passes.

[MoJames 8244]

RLC with an awful give up to after Reece James had made a run leaving Ziyech to try to play defense.

Felix looks the part though, very comfortable on the ball and moving well.

[MoJames 8244]

Man Felix just gets blown up by Wolf in Dortmund's box

[MoJames 8244]

Welp.

[MoJames 8244]

We are cursed.

[MoJames 8244]

Best game we've played in a while in a hostile environment against a team in form.

[TexArcher 37774]

Welp, there's a game today.  Southampton are dead last, so maybe we can get a draw or something?  That would be so cool.

[Stringer 1438]

God, we suck. Cant let JWP have a free kick in that area.

[MoJames 8244]

Turned it off.

[TexArcher 37774]

Oh, damn, Azpi just ate a nasty one.  Ugh.

[ChickenSandwich 9834]

Holy shit

[TexArcher 37774]

So, to recap this morning: lost to Saints at home, Azpi gets kicked in the face and stretchered off, and Christian Atsu (never played for Chelsea, but was part of the loan army for years) found dead in Turkey earthquake rubble.  Fuck, man.

Given how much this ref has let them "play"...getting this ugly isn't a surprise.  Ridiculous that a full speed shoulder check is ok, but a shoulder shove that slips off and hits the face is a "certain red card" according to these announcers.  I hope the second half is more in control...and that we can finally break through.

 

Also, wish that Thiago was 10 years younger...

[morehornsepower 887]

Fuck...

[ztejas 43422]

Looking good early. Can't wait to see how they drop points today.

Fernando Havertz on the breakaway...  Denied!!

[ztejas 43422]

Not liking how this one is developing. 

I mean, I'm a fan of this Leeds team, but as a Chelsea fan... 

[ztejas 43422]

Summerville has been a disaster and KK decides to bail him out at the edge of the box. JfC. 

[ztejas 43422]

Just straight up getting beat now. This club's management at basically every level has no idea what it's doing. 

[TexArcher 37774]

There's the breakthrough on a corner.  Fofana got to the right spot and out-jumped everyone.  Well done.

[ztejas 43422]

That was better. Maybe he can play striker?

[ztejas 43422]

Like clockwork we are begging to give up an equalizer. 

[TexArcher 37774]

3 POINTS FROM 1 MATCH?!

[MoJames 8244]

What you can get 3 points out of a game?

Also, W. Fofana is good.

[ztejas 43422]

I suppose that's the right result? They had about 15 chances to level it. 

Didn't look good but looked... better. 

[RichUT 1832]

In other news, Liverpool has put in 7 (and counting) against Man U. I wonder how many games it’ll take us to score 7 more goals. 15? 20?

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Welp, I'm not hopeful that we'll go through with the lineup we are starting today.

Referring to the back 3 or Reece being back or what? The rest of the lineup is our current 1st XI.

And the midfield.  Cucu starting at LCB has always been a recipe for disaster.  But putting Enzo and Kova together doesn't make sense.  Either one needs someone along them who can offer more defensive cover.

I hear you. Pretty much every lineup we've played has been shit for months now, though. It's not like any of those guys don't have the ability to play at a high level. 

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

I guess it's not a foul to shove a guy in the back while he's taking a shot.  

[MoJames 8244]

Just a great job hitting the framework as of late.

[MoJames 8244]

That was the hardest goal ever to get. Here we go.

[Stringer 1438]

We have definitely outplayed them today and great to see we finally got one to go in.

[MoJames 8244]

[MoJames 8244]

Something went our way?!

[MoJames 8244]

[APMP 688]

Ah, European nights at the Bridge....

[ztejas 43422]

Ooooh reddit not a fan of that encroachment call. 

Two straight wins. They said it couldn't be done.

I admittedly do not know the letter of the law here, but even as a Chelsea fan that call seemed rather generous. But I'm not complaining lol

[MoJames 8244]

Oh boy!

Undefeated for the rest of the season.

Forgot it started with Kai's pass.
