Magic Lamps

we need to work on our set pieces tho horrendous for some time now.

give them a break. this is their first half-time in EPL.

zouma should be subbed

we blow hot and cold. we were up and running from the start. then taht stupid stupid chain of mistakes and we are back to Sarri-level confidence.

i can see a team with quality in the finish like city or liverpool absolutely destroying this utd team. they park the bus yet the allow opening after opening. wish we still had hazard.

come on mount, you cans core from there

he performed well for stoke and everton season after season sicne that injury tho.

goals change games. if that abraham shot would ahve been 3 inches right we would probably be running away with it now. often the fate of young, inexperienced teasm and managers. playing well but getting nought due to stupid mistakes.

i would take that surely.

it was a bit soft, but thsoe pens are usually given. still so so stupid. there were 3 palyers around zouma. dont expect there to be a way back now. we are also undersized and ind anger of getting bullied there.

with the ultra-defensive way utd are set out this is now gonna be an uphill struggle.

fuck that was the most undeserved turn in the run of play ever. but you have to say zouma looks horrible. now it gets really hard, they are gonna sit bakc even deeper

come on zouma. that was so needless

just need to be more clinical, the final ball is missing just like last season. that why i think bats should be on the bench. the only natural finsiher in the squad.

jsut the final ball is one inch unlcuky but we are getting there. just do not get coutnered. amazign how Utd park the bus in their own stadium and we still pick them apart at will.

its not that this was not predicted. but kepa was taking a huge chance too. really no need to pass around taht slowly aorund the back.

what an opening to the season that would have been. damn. fine margins.

I doubt Lamps would be going on about how happy he is with the squad and then demand 70m signings and let that leak to the press. Cheap story. Never been sold on Chilwell anyway tbf. Telles is still just 26 and has a 40m release clause so yeah would be a better option but its too early to even ponder those moves already.

Utd have way more to lose than we do. This is the worst Chelsea side on Paper in 20 years I would say. Utd have strengthened with expensive signings and are playing at home. I hope the pressure affects them. If we can play freely and with courage we can score I an sure of that. But i do not expect our make shift defence to hold the 0 but they dont need to. I am not sure we can match Manure blow for blow in an open game but if we can make the midfiels tight and stop balls to rashford and Martial, dont let them in the game, control the tempo without ball they are a very ordinary side. It is a really unique, exciting situation. Rookie team, rookie manager. No idea what to expect. Just trust them I guess. For sure happy for the season tonfinally start again. Would not have expected to be that eager for it given no new signings. But all the youngsters in the squad feels just as good. The PR-stunt of hiring Lamps as manager has worked. At least it got me hooked again.

I had a dream how the match would unfold: Rashford to score early from a Zouma mistake, then Tammy with a headed equalizer just before half-time. The second half fairly unexciting with both teams settling for a draw, then Lampard substitutes himself in the last minute tries a lob with his left foot from the corner of the box that drops on top of the crossbar and gets such a crazy spin that it springs across the goal line after dropping back in the field again.

Even better example when he was up in the 2013 uefa super cup vs only Philipp Lahm one of the shortest players in DFB history and his task was to milk time off the clock as we were 2-1 up in extra time. Well, he lost all 3 one on ones within 2 seconds.

It is true. We have been the most successful English team since the turn of the millenium. That club world cup final defeat hau.ts me as well. The competition is a joke but ypu can call yourself world Champion afterwards. The worst is that Torres scored a perfectly legit goal that was wrongfully chalked off. Also we got denied a penalty

According to transfermarkt it is still intact.

I would rather suspect Johnson not being as well informed as the manager humself. Anyway, barring a massive fallout, I expect the deal to be signed as Bayern have given up and even their local newspaper Münchener AZ ran an exclusive story yesterday that they expect CHO to sign the deal... i usually dont trust them but they are biased towards Bayern so if they run a story against them they can be expected to be sure about it.

Yes he does have the Kalou vibe but Kalou was a hard worker and Kalou always had an output even though he could be wasteful. he always got into the right positions. Kenedy has 0 output and I have no idea what he is actually good at and neither does he. The left foot is a point but an average left foot is no better than a good right one. I still think he can be morphed into an attacking leftback if he works hard enough. He does have some tenacity about him
