Udinese 1 - 3 Chelsea (Pre-Season)

[ZAPHOD2319 4,801]

Uggggh defence has been a step slow in every preseason game

[Vesper 30,089]

the shot was weaker than he thought so a short rebound when he pushed it aside

[Pizy 18,852]

Much more coherent and positive than last time out. Still a few out there that aren’t at their sharpest (Reece, Kai, Kante) but overall much better.
 

But still a horrendous moment of counter attacking defending sours it. Just let a dude running a straight line all the way from back to front.

Whats making me nervous for the season is that we look so slow and build our attacks without intensity and speed. 
 

Have a bad feeling for the upcoming season…

only players in bold have great pace

16 Édouard Mendy
 6 Thiago Silva
 26 Kalidou Koulibaly (not sure yet, I think he still has it)
 28 César Azpilicueta
 7 N'Golo Kanté
 5 Jorginho
 3 Marcos Alonso
 24 Reece James
 29 Kai Havertz
 17 Raheem Sterling
 19 Mason Mount

just pouring rain

We gave away a stupid goal.
Mendy should have rather conceded the corner.

So far we scored two against a park the bus system but we conceded a fluke.

we SO need to buy Maxwel Cornet for that LWB depth slot

he would be SHREDDING this defence, Alonso has all the field, wide open, and is so slow he is wasting it horribly

[Pizy 18,852]

It is nice to see Sterling and KK already look like they’re ready to go for the start of the season whilst a few other aren’t yet. 

Concerning how completely blunt Havertz has looked all preseason, though. At least in this match he’s looking dangerous and is getting the ball in the box. But if he doesn’t start scoring goals soon I worry how we’re going to accumulate enough points to keep up with the more prolific sides.

And that's why we need Turbo Tim

Havertz is just such a HUGE key this year

he simply has to at least double his production

no more excuses

I agree he has to start scoring, I was in Vegas when he missed a sitter. Really concerning
