Jase 43,479 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The attack with Lukaku still looks off but better today with CHO and Werner around him as both provided the energy, movement and pace going forward. And as much as we only scored the two killer goals after Southampton went down to 10 men, I'd say that win was deserved. We had enough chances to win the game before then (and stupid VAR!) and Southampton only managed to score because of a stupid brainfart from Chilwell. Didn't threaten us much otherwise. The xG was 3.2 v 0.6 (excluding the penalty). Blue Armour, Johnnyeye and Milan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he needs to be dropped for a few games. Maybe the Intl break will help him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Hope all officials (including VAR ones) involved in this match get a meaningful ban, because that was pathetic all the way through. Good game and with good performances and not so good ones. Really liked Mount as usual... and Werner is such an underrated player.

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 “I was more frustrated to have the second goal taken away from us for almost no reason. If you score a second before half-time, you probably see the game off but at only 1-0, there is a danger they can come back into it. “I did not see it as a foul from Azpi. We had talks here before the season where everybody said we want to go back to “English football” and not give fouls all the time for soft touches. It was raining, people were slipping and the passage of play had moved onto into a second and third phase before the goal so that’s why I was frustrated because we went back to something that was not the decisive action for the goal. I have zero understanding of why this goal was disallowed.” -Thomas Tuchel; source: Chelsea FC Johnnyeye, robsblubot and ZAPHOD2319 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and also the fact VAR has effectively become a time machine. They go back minutes after a goal, pretty much erasing all that has happened from that moment to the goal. It's a very silly thing and I hope they change that in the future. Muzchap and bigbluewillie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyikolajevics 2,700 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Gotta mention Livramento, he plays very mature every week at Soton despite joining them few months ago without one single professional performance. Good choice for him to leave, good choice for us to set buyback option. I can see as activate it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 2,712 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 First off, thought we were very poor. A big team would have thrashed us today. Werner, poor in the first half. Got it together later. Thought CHO was good, didn't want to see him subbed. Was one of the few dangerous players for us going forward. Rudiger was immense today, as was Silva. Chillwell... ultimate hot and cold in one game, and I don't really care about the penalty. JUST SO MANY MISTAKES... Just doesn't look anywhere near as good as he used to. Kovacic is class. We aren't dealing with presses very well. RLC is a great press buster, but he losses the ball instantly due to the fact he runs with his head down and has no vision. Million dollar moves, two cent finish. Lukaku doesn't get enough service, but he is a lazy player that makes it difficult for us to get out. Just need to figure out something that will work if Lukaku has to be on the pitch every game. Especially against bigger teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Perfect weekend - We were the only team starting in the top 10 before this weekend's games that didn't drop points. It feels like the game played out today will be gushed upon for a while and Liverpool and City will go back to being considered the favourites for the league this season, putting us back into a position where we can be the third wheel again and hopefully have a few weeks going under the radar a little, just at the time that our fixture list, on paper, becomes a lot more appealing. We still look a work in progress with Tuchel trying to get the right balance in attack with Lukaku, and the rest of the attacking players blowing hot and cold so far. I can't help but feel that the attacking chemistry will improve over time. For now though, we've had as hard a season start as anybody else and are top of the league, second highest goal scorers (averaging over 2 goals a game) whilst having the joint best defensive record (3 goals conceded being 2 penalties and a heavily deflected goal). Considering most of us would admit to feeling that we're nowhere near playing at 100% currently, I think we should be delighted with how good the season has started, results wise, so far.
