Matic has made some good tackles and has been holding the ball good but he needs to be faster and he needs to improve his passing.

[MichaelDance 552]

does he like blowing his fucking whistle?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

It was undoubtedly a red card challenge, but you'd hope that the ref would have the understanding that this a preseason friendly and neither us nor Liverpool would want any player from any team sent off because that ruins all the tactics being tested and analyzed by the managers.

Makes a scary 'psychopath' face when he gets cards out as well...

[Costa19 846]

Yeah.. Just give him a yellow card and tell Conte to sub him off. No need for red cards in a friendly.

I'm not exactly a patient girl... at least not lately. So names I see in the pre-season that I hope are nowhere near Chelsea team for the season: Moses and Cuadrado. Names I don't see tonight but still hope won't be here: Mikel and Ivanovic. Come on, we already have bang mediocre players in Pedro, Oscar and Cahill. We won't need to keep more than that (Oscar, can join the out-group if he plays as an attacker)

This is a good experience to have though.

 

Liverpool get to attempt, and fail, to break down a defensively tight team.

 

And we get to see Cuadrado and the guys shutting it down.

What is that cross...

Honestly, I don't think you can get much info about your team in these 'extreme' situations when the physical readiness of the players is no where near complete. 

 

On a related note, we've been defending very well deep all game long.

I think Moses would be a pretty good squad player.. He can score, he is quick, homegrown, works hard in defense. I think he is a good player to sit on the bench.

I really dislike players like him, who have no technique at all on them, who can only run, shoot, run, shoot. I don't want him anywhere near us. 

[MichaelDance 552]

10 men, 1 goal, 3 points, 1 win, what more can we ask for

[BlueStorm1003 539]

Well, goodnight everyone, 30 past midnight here!

You can't have 11 Hazard's on the pitch you need players who will work hard players like Moses and Oscar is gonna be great in a 4-2-4.
