Chelsea 2024-25: We miss you, Roman

[RichUT 1875]

How the fuck is Cucurella the one that gets booked in all of that? 

[RichUT 1875]

This game is bonkers. 

[TexArcher 38436]

Welp, leveled it up for about 4 seconds there.  Shit.

[RichUT 1875]

I was in the middle of making a post about the match getting interesting at 1-1 when the Blues switched off and let Pool jump right back in front. Frustrating. 

[RichUT 1875]

Palmer needed to hit that with his first touch. 

[TexArcher 38436]

Snoozefest first half at Old Trafford.

[Horny Bull 2766]

We will not go where we want to go with Sanchez in goal. Pitiful 

[RichUT 1875]

We've been really poor today. No semblance of any sort of strategy to be found. Not sure United have been materially better, but that PK was earned.

[TexArcher 38436]

What a thump by Caicedo to get the goal back!

[RichUT 1875]

And a thunderbolt from Caicedo levels the match. No idea how Mudryk didn't knock that shot off target, but hopefully we're fully awake now.

That was a great goal 

[TexArcher 38436]

Yeah, that's a red, isn't it?

How does Gusto miss that?

[TexArcher 38436]

Yeah, it was a perfect delivery from Pedro Neto.

Chelsea look promising on the whole here, though.

[TexArcher 38436]

Pretty clear offside there, no?

[RichUT 1875]

Jesus. Sanchez can’t make it that easy there. Very poor goalkeeping. 

[TexArcher 38436]

Yep.  You cannot get beaten near post there.  He's just not good enough for a top club.

[RichUT 1875]

Neto! Surgical. 

[TexArcher 38436]

Man, I like this Pedro Neto a lot.  He was already playing a good match before that blast.

[ztejas 43752]

Fuck! meant to flip this on earlier. I've watched barely any soccer this season.

I remember saying this as soon as he starting playing for Chelsea. 

Not a lot has changed I guess. 

[MoJames 8257]

You guys suck at this. I get a new job and have limited access during the day and you guys managed two pages?

The team is looking solid.

My biggest complaint at this point is why Madueke would get any time over Neto. 
Sucks that Fofana and James are out for a bit, but our depth is so deep that it we barely lose a step.

I'd love to have a more consistent no. 1 but otherwise, the team looks fantastic.

[APMP 688]

I'm just trying not to jinx things by saying we are back.
