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.

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...

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.

Ooooh reddit not a fan of that encroachment call.

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
