I mean, even the usual calm and composed @Tomo was moaning more than usual! I don't want this approach long term but for now who cares, I'll worry about that tomorow. Almost a reverse from the away fixture Vs City where I was delighted with the display but ultimately gutted we lost. DDA and kc_blue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kante cannot be the lone DM and it was yet again proven tonight. Shithoused? Its nothing we havent seen countless times with great success...our gameplan was good bare the first 25mins or so. We won, again 5pts ahead, suits us nicely. Muzchap and 11Drogba 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought that Pulisic was better to deserve MOTM because of those things I mentioned. I did not see Pulisic doing mistakes like that today Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Puli was def great once again no doubt about that Muzchap and killer1257 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes those three points in the pocket look real nice right now... City had tons of the ball, as you would expect a Pep Guardiola side to do, but created zilch. Barring that near disaster pass from Kepa, they didn't even threaten our goal and they scored a worldie from a free kick. The only complaint I would have is we sat them off a bit too much but at least we still kept our shape well and maintained a good discipline. The setup was very similar, if not the same, as what Sarri did in the home game against City last season. Lutch, Muzchap and Panic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have always to go on the offence in every game and we're not at that level yet to do that yet. If anything, I'm happy that we can be streetwise and play two different approaches if we need to. That's the Chelsea I love from our best years. Attack and dominate the opposition if we can. If not, sit back, defend well and play on the counter. We still showed the intention to go win the game, and not just sit back and play for the point like what Conte did two seasons ago.

Popular Post! Milan 17,958 Posted June 25, 2020 Popular Post! Share Posted June 25, 2020 I am rewatching the Pulisic goal. And I am still amazed. Yes, it was a brutal mistake by City, but Puli played it brilliantly. Right after he shot, I was sure it was going wide but he placed it perfectly. An absolutely stunning goal. What a player we have got. 11Drogba, Thesara, Stats and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNZ 155 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Jorginho couldn't have played the inch perfect pass Gilmour did for Pedro at the end of the game. He couldn't generate that speed of pass with his chicken legs. He would have tried a floated ball that would have been cut out by Otamendi.

I don't expect all out attack but my worry is the players will subconsciously get back into a subconscious pragmatic zone as it's an easy way out to the long haul of learning such a complex style, especially after the manager gives you rope too. It happened with AVB (although I guess on that occasion it was a good thing given Munich ), people assume it was his high line that was the downfall but it was actually relenting and let the players get back in a comfort zone. But like I said that's a worry for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thesara 143 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Pulisic MOTM for me. Willian second best. I would be okay with giving him contract for one more year. He is good on important games, very hard working and he holds the ball when he needs to. Lutch, Muzchap and killer1257 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that would be the case and a lot of these players didn't even play under Conte, Mourinho etc. I'd put it down to Lampard being streetwise for a game against City. Even Sarri, the ever purist, adapted his approach for 2 of the 3 games against City last season. The one he tried to take them heads on, we got torn apart.
