DANILA 290 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Dreadful - our favoured attack is: 1. pass to someone in the 18 yard box, then one touch it backwards 2. Pass to Azpi on the right, immediate cross to nowhere 95% of the time. Extremely slow all around the attack; barkley was actually pretty good when he came on, at least did things that weren't expected. Pray that Palace take points off UTD or else this could be a shitshow ending... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAGreavsie 6,076 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Walk over the line, fall over the line, crawl over the line. We shouldn't care. We have seen enough from this squad to know high expectations are not realistic. It's overly optimistic to be looking for style or development now. This group is what it is so, as they approach the finish line, lets get behind them and blow. All we can ask of them is that they do everything they can to set up next season, and take a stab at The FA Cup. Speaking of which, if we've saved a better performance for Sunday, that'll suit me.

Pray that Palace take points off UTD or else this could be a shitshow ending... our game plan surely was not perfect. but we created enough chances to score 5 or 6. It has been the story of the season. Even more than our shit defending from set pieces andcounter attack swe have squandered way too many chances. giroud alone could have had 4 today. We are slow as we are knackered. But today should have been not overly exhausting. we should be fresh for Utd.

DANILA 290 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I think we should play a 100% youth side against UTD - who cares? Top 4 infinitely more important. Can't risk injuries or energy Muzchap and DDA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,928 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Attack and midfield performance were very lethargic but honestly, I'm not super pissed overall. I think our defense had to make only 1 important tackle the whole match so I suppose that's an improvement. Thought Willian and Pulisic looked completely gassed as the match wore on which is why our attacking play really suffered. Honeslty, fuck the FA Cup. I would heavily rotate for that one. Put out a competetive side, yes, but the last 2 PL matches are far, far more important. We need Willian and Pulisic as fresh as possible.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Says it all when our best chances really came from crosses from fullbacks. Ruben, Ross, Willian did nothing of note. Too slow in attack but the options weren't there either at times, lack of movement in and around Giroud meaning the likes of Willian would slow the game down to go backwards. Positives: -3 points -managed the game ok -clean sheet (Kepa more or less a spectator) -decent defensive showing -didnt concede many big chances -Reece, Azpi and Alonso put some decent crosses into decent areas where you would ideally want a CF/winger/3rd man runner to come into. Negatives: -boring and pedestrian through the middle -too many safe passes in final third -no real willingness from any MF players to get into the box regularly -poor finishing I would be interested in seeing who had the most touches today, I would imagine Azpi/Alonso will be right up there ahead of all of our attackers.

Simon1991 233 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Kova when fit should be one of the first names on the starting sheet. I really hope his absence of late was strictly due to fitness reasons and nothing else.He might not provide lots of assists and goals, but he'll create space for his teammates with his change of pace and ball retention.

Can't risk injuries or energy 2 wins away from a major trophy. I think you'll find a lot of people care. The FA Cup might not have the same romantic pull that it has in previous years but going to the old Wembley as a 10 year old to watch Chelsea beat Middlesbrough in 1997 is one of all time favourite Chelsea moments, perhaps only bettered by the first league win and Munich 2012. The FA Cup still matters to me. Laylabelle, Muzchap and Supermonkey92 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though we looked a bit sharper when Ross replaced Ruben. Rubes get a pass for the remainder of this season but next term will be important for him. He has to start making significant contributions or the clock will begin to run out. OneMoSalah and Muzchap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
