2020-21 English FA Cup, 5th Round Barnsley Chelsea http://www.sportnews.to/mysports/2021/fa-cup-barnsley-vs-Chelsea-s1/#! https://www.totalsportek.com/page-4/

To be fair tonight we made 10 changes, the pitch was fucking terrible and it was the FA Cup after all. Just glad we’re still in the cup.

Goal looked offside , we’ll take that for the penalty not given in the first half.

fucking finally

Haaland. Or at least someone like him. There's a reason why only strikers like Drogba & Costa have succeeded at Chelsea in recent years.

Both him and Ziyech have been pants since their second injury break (or maybe third in the case of Pulisic?) Neither of them are starting 11 quality at the moment.

Tonight yes but how was Sheffield a "horror show"? I know they're bottom but that's mainly because they struggle to score, they've competed well and made it tough for every big six team this season, even City could only manage a pair of 1-0's against them.

Aye maybe than we did tonight. But not the other games.

So glad it ended. Was just a bit mehhh but got there in the end..

We advanced and rested a lot of the starting XI. That’s worth celebrating. Fresh legs going forward.

not drawing anything from thsi game, other than Kepa looked decent hell I will give him MOTM

Yeah, just take the win and run. Less said about the performance, the better.

Pulisic has been pants lately

Thank fuck. Gilmour and James fantastic there. Lets home this gives Tammy a bit of a lift because he has been hopeless most of the game as has Ziyech. He looked offside though fucking hell, miles off least theres no VAR.

It depends on what we want - someone to get on the ball and dribble past players or someone to stay on the last line/run into the space to stretch the opposition. They both have their strengths and it's nice to have options.

baffling decision he could have just kept the ball and breezed past the defender towards goal. we really lack composure rn

Tuchel doesn't trust Christensen in 4 at the back system lol

True and we know he has the talent but was last season just one of those purple patches or something more? He needs to wake up ASAP!

Pulisic's last injury was at the end of November. Has been back since then and has been involved in 13 of our last 18 games, including today. Only has 1 goal and 1 assist.

2008 vibes!

Kepa our best player so far lol

Interesting with Emerson at LCB. His ability on the ball and being a fullback, probably be similar to playing Azpi on the right in a way. Not exactly but similar. Also, Tammy is so frustrating.

we really look totally disjointed after all the chopping and changing. This lineup appears to be TT's first blunder. Really should pay more respect to the cup but lets first see how it unfolds

Kepa saved us there!

I hate Kepa....but that was a world class save right there.

The pitch looks terrible to be honest...

They just did the next round draw. Chelsea will play Sheffield United in the Quarter Finals if they beat Barnsley tonight.

On BBC they have Alonso in the back three.

To be fair the majority of those players are either development players or players brought for development. The ones we should worry about are the following (owing to wages and fees paid): Batsh*t Kepa Baka Drinky Zappa Baba Emerson Barkley Moses Zouma Rudi RLC AC Tomori Kenedy Jorgi Alonso MVG *I have excluded Willy and Giroud as they're out of out contract. This is still some list but I think they are broken into categories. Cat 1 - Players that shouldn't be sold Alonso - If w

I too hope that Havertz does well, but making a system work for one or 2 players should NEVER be the objective. We need to have a set playing style that works, and if some players work better than others, then so be it. Case in point, CHO starting over Pulisic (although the CP has enough talent to reclaim the spot), and Alonso over Chillwell. I think part of the reason why Lampard did worse in December and afterwards is because he suddenly had too many talented players fit and available, that he tried to tinker with his lineup every game trying to get most of the big names into the s

Why does it have to be one or the other? It's not black and white. They're totally different players. Fab was much more of risk taker, brilliant creativity, long pass specialist. But he didn't control the tempo like jorginho does. He ran the show often but in a much different way. He was a decisive player who biggest impacts were often directly involved with goals. Jorginho is a person who dictates tempo much more, keeps things flowing, creates a ton of space for teammates, but offers shorter passes. He is a player who's impact is often not directly involved with goals, but ov

onside these manure and arse cunts can ram it up their batty creases

Absolutely pathetic and shite performance. We have been very very lucky with the results in the last few games... 1) Not sure what has happened to Pulisic, Ziyech , Kante - nowhere near their best 2) Despite his good goal recently , Alonso is one of those players who will have one in six good games. He should not start games. Hate those type of players Willian was one of them 3) Without Mount Chelsea is Terrible 4) IMO I thought Lampard's Team played much better, like i said we have been very lucky with results.

Hmmm this is bringing back feelings of last time. We are sloppy! Should be losing

Should of seen the state of it last week.

My back garden is in better condition than this pitch and I've got 2 kids and a dog regularly trashing it.
