He is no use in pressing tho Think the point is that the opposition defence can push up against us if Giroud is playing upfront because they know he doesn't have the pace to run past them for a ball over the top etc. communicate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually one of the wingers makes the deep run after the long ball anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Played with our foot off the gas for a lot of the game, but we got the job done & sealed progression.Nice to have a squad with such depth. bigbluewillie and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the players were tired. Most only returned last Thursday, then had to travel to Newcastle for the early Saturday kick off and had only two days after that to rest, recover and travel to France for this game. At least the players now have 4 days between this and Sunday. On the plus side though, the team least didn't collapse despite looking gassed after 30 minutes. Restricted Rennes to only half chances at best. Might have lost this game last season. And it's also nice to have a goalkeeper in goal for a change! bigbluewillie, Strike, Johnnyeye and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Happy for the sixth win in a row and the unbeaten run, we've actually not lost a game since September. On to the Spurs match now, to be fair this match against Rennes, I did not care that much about it, I'm buzzing for the one on Sunday Muzchap and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 don't blame werner,,it's lampard fault. this prove,,even the clinical finisher which already tired everything looks amateur....Mate... Come on. Its lampards fault he misses some sitters. He's so tired he can do beasty runs but then he hits it wide because he's tired.I'm not worried about timo or gonna be getting on his back about missing chances. So far that hasn't cost us and he will work on it. But that is a laughable hot take. Magic Lamps, bigbluewillie, Muzchap and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANILA 290 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 pretty bad performance tbh lol.. didn't have a single chance from 30' - 87'. I'll leave it given our players are tired. Even when we had a good chance from open play / good passing, CHO literally stopped the ball and passed backwards for a cross - can't make this stuff up blu35_army 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good that we have some more time off ahead of the Spurs clash. Being able to switch players and not have a significant drop off is a great that, which aids us on nights like this.

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 About players not mentioned... Chilwell had his worst game so far for us. Azpi clearly lost his place rightly so. James is better. Kova is so undefined player, all players from the bench were good and all should start against Spurs. And no love for CHO? 3 goals this season already and had just 3 starts in CL and PL. 0007, Johnnyeye and Muzchap 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO he did enough to be in contetnion for a start vs tottenham. both his goals in CL have been openers so really important goals too. Really indifferent perofrmance overall. Could have put hte game to bed early on but made it unnecessarily hard for ourselvesby not taking our chances like usually. We reallyneed to put them away vs the spuds. Glad Reece, Ziyech, kante got some rest. A bit more rotation would not have hurt i guess. Muzchap and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 We need to draw against Sevilla to secure first place in the group. I don't fancy the remainder of the opposition in the CL are anything so formidable. Bayern of course we ought to respect and maybe Klop a little.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I don't understand why Timo is losing so many open goal chances. He certainly does n't look like the sort of player who gets blinded infront of goal, like Alvaro Morata. Maybe some Nacho Scocco finishing lessons ?

ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Timo is fine. This will only light a fire under his ass to rip the back of the net. If you are going to have a player go through a few missed shots, let it be while you are winning games. 0007, manpe, hiterto and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAGreavsie 6,075 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 On 24/11/2020 at 8:12 PM, Tomo said: and we desperately need a deep CL run! A run to the quarter-finals, with a draw at Sevilla and win against Krasnodar, would be worth €78.6m with more to come from our share of the market pool. That's a lot of money for sure and with so much matchday income lost, and more still to be lost, it would be a real shot in the arm for CFC finances. That's before we even consider the boost such a CL season would give to our ability to attract players in the 2021 summer transfer market.
