OhForAGreavsie 6,077 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Could have finished it. 😒 Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1988 1,348 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Such an impressive first half with the formation and personnel. Second half just seemed to back off, then players got tired, especially going to Dave every time who kills most attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when it does its offside The 3 words Chelsea fans hate to hear on commentary ‘Timo Werner…. Offside’ Didnt really need to force the issue second half, managed the game well despite Spurs having 10 minutes where they played much better. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,207 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 2 minutes ago, DANILA said: Better, but still so frustrating - we pass the ball so slow, backwards and sideways in attack build up. The only players looking to make quick one touch passing plays through the middle are RLC and Kovacic. Movement is poor disagree, we were very effective moving the ball, the finishing was shit, so many blown chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 So this is what playing against us in 17/18 felt like.... Jase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Saul has a half of a year to progress more. Tonight was his biggest step forward. Second half was toothless but with all our injuries and covid lately, 2-0 works. Should have been more. Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Should have been at least 3.. but we move on. Best game so far for Saul, good for his confidence. All round all played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different level 1,056 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Probably should've won by more but I'll take that. Next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Impressed with the defensive, pressing effort in today's system but felt somewhat vulnerable defensively whenever Spurs got forward. Otherwise, good performance all around against what was Spurs' first XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, better, but still very basic passing mostly backwards and sideways, until we get it to the wingers and they cross and pray. So many times we start to build up a good passing build up and someone inevitably literally stops the ball and passes it backwards or to the side. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this has been the story of the team since Lampard came in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Also again 2 injuries. Really can’t catch a break Simply have to buy i like that the back 4 system gives us a bit more attacking options but obviously can’t fix our profligate finishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Someone needs to remind Ziyech that kicking the ball forward and trying to run past PL defenders requires more speed than he possesses. That was a beautiful pass that he hit Timo with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought was alright under the circumstances. Sarr Alonso is obviously very shaky and they targeted them. But we limited a very competent attack to a couple of half chances so can’t complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,331 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Alonso great for that first goal. If we can recall Emerson I would feel comfy in we go back to back 4 for the rest of the season. Those two did job in the end for Sarri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAGreavsie 6,077 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Good news, bad news in TT's post game with CTV. Good news that Thiago and N'Golo were due to start. For me this shows the proper attitude towards this game. Bad news of course that illness kept them out.

Got Covid in good moment if you can say something like that. We did job without them, they will miss 5th division team and be back next week for important games.
