closed Chelsea 2-0 Newcastle

[Blues11 213]

Can't complain too much. Tuchel has done what he's been brought in for and that's to give us a chance to finish top 4.

Our attack still looks lost. Would be interesting to see how TT plays it being down a goal or two. Might never happen if we continue to hold possession 80% of the time. Lol

Tuchel just said Mendy is his No.1 keeper.

TT took a massive risk playing the dead 3 today, but while it paid off - Newcastle didn't give us a game. And when they pressed us, we stopped dominating the game. This is Newcastle..

For aslong as he's playing 3atb got no problem with Alonso playing, especially as Chilwell has been off it for ages.

But yeah Kepa can't play, he will cost us.

Tuchel just said Mendy is deffo number one and will start most of the rest of the games

Pulisic and Ziyech not even a minute today 😅

I think their time is up. Will probably leave at the end of season. 

 

At least, Mendy is still our no. 1 GK. Kovacic was in his prime mode today. Good for him. But Newcastle is not the opposition that will tell us how good we are. Atletico Madrid will be our first real test. Spurs obviously are quite in a mess right now and we faced then without Kane

This is overreaction. 

They played very bad lately and don't deserve to play. It is just a matter of time before they are back at top level.

Okay mate, I liked that you came back but I now want you gone again! 🤣

Really though, you're kinda exaggerating there. The real test for these players, especially the new signings, will be next season. Yes, they have been bad but I also feel it's kinda hard to judge them all in some ways because of how crazy this season has been. Let's see what happens next season when we will have hopefully something more like a usual season - pre-season, no crazy packed schedule etc.

Dominant performance. First half especially we were excellent. Tuchel is definitely more reserved and likes to protect leads rather than finishing the game off. Only thing that irritated me I guess was that we didnt look to kill them off and knowing this league, it could easily come down to GD. Would of liked to see Pulisic come on and really hurt them on counter attacks. Kovacic was top class. Can't believe he did not get a mention from the pundits. He ran the show tonight. Alonso was really good.

Really good set of games for  Tuchel to get his ideas through. Oppositions have been absolutely poor throughout .  Feels about like pre season apart from the Spurs one. They don’t tell us anything tho. Atlético is the first real test. And we really should not start Kepa, Alonso and Christensen vs Atlético.

Do you think that Pulisic and Ziyech are type of players that will sit 4 months on the bench and think everything is fine? 

The problem is that we play a system with 2 no. 10 players. Pulisic, Werner, Ziyech, Mount, Kai and sometimes CHO are the possible players for this current system. We have way too many players for these positions and we need to sell, otherwise some players will start moaning again. Our squad is too big

i mean, you can say we are the reason why they were poor. can you imagine 0 goals conceded with lampard as the manager? i cant. 

theres clear improvement on both sides of the pitch. how long it will last is the question.

Interesting lineup today but three more points in the bank.  Kova looks top class right now...he can't shoot but seems to do everything else.
