hiterto 37 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 So happy for Saul and Sarr, they put in a decent shift. I don't know why but Alonso never fails to deliver good performance against Spurs bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Tuchel said Azpi has a cramp while Havertz broke his finger. Also said he decided to play the system that we saw due to the 2 COVID cases. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he behaved himself properly he'll likely still be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I hope we do well in the EFL final against the gooners. But I was n't satisfied. Spurs are arguably the second worse team we faced this year, after Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Thought Saul was excellent tonight. I've felt his most recent couple of games have shown a lot of improvement and a suggestion that there is something there that can be utilised here at Chelsea, and tonight seemed to confirm that. Most of his possession was one or two touch passing which has helped him adjusting to the intensity and pace of the league. He clearly has the technical game, and given how rough his form has been so far here, I thought he showed real character and personality tonight. It should do him the world of good. With half the season to go and such a glut of matches coming up, he can still play a big role in the squad this season. Here's hoping tonight was the start for him to really kick on now.

LAM09 7,061 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I'm not sure if we were great tonight, Spurs were dire, or a mixture of both. Either way, we completely dominated the match, & for the umpteenth time this season, we should have scored more. Hopefully, we continue where we left off in the second leg to seal our first final appearance of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,936 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 One thing that the co-commentator mentioned and something I noticed a bunch as well was Lukaku getting into great positions in the box, our wide players (be it the full backs or wingers) getting in good crossing positions, and then just refusing to cross it. Saw Rom get frustrated repeatedly that the ball wouldn’t come in. I think he only got like 1 genuinely great cross from Ziyech tonight. Something that needs to be emphasized more going forward. When you have the likes of Ziyech and Alonso who love crossing the ball and you have Lukaku up top we should be pumping it into him from wide as often as possible. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some crosses went way out of the stadium. The good chances we missed fell to Ziyech and Werner but also Lukaku should have done better on a couple of occasions. Also Alonso is not really a good free kick taker. Before him we had Willian and Luiz who were much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
