Chelsea 0-0 Fulham

James looks a shadow of the player he was aswell btw.

Every time we play it quickly we’re carving right through them. But the slow, walking football allows them to easily defend us. And as someone mentioned they’re just allowing Ziyech on the right side loads of space becasue he doesn’t have the pace to beat them and they’re double or even tripling up on Mudryk to negate any space for him to run into.

Come on.. give him a break. He did well. Unlucky not to score.

Why even let the ball hit the ground 2 times??
A Drogba would have smashed it into the corner after the first one.

I think the injury and setback playing in his head

I feels really annoying to spend so much money with completely zero instant impact.

Drogba was a true striker Kai is a substitute striker, it's not his position but then again where is?

That sounds like a you problem, dunno what you was expecting, very very rare players instantly gel regardless of cost.

We may look shite but I’m still excited about Enzo. What a proper midfielder…

Need more summer clearings for this roster.

Those new players don't know each other yet.
Ziyech is useless.

Kai isn't a striker; that's the issue.

We shouldn't be hanging on at times.

He rushed off to celebrate instead of following the rebound.

If Kai is a striker then I 'm also a striker. Just give me a shirt with number 9.

Gallagher is not Chelsea level... this should be his last game in a Chelsea shirt.

Ziyech has been horrific bar the pass at the end.

Enzo/Badiashile and Silva best players on the pitch.

 

 

Think theres been 2 or 3 good passes through the lines from Enzo but I am a bit concerned with how easily Fulham were getting into their frontman through their MF. Wouldn’t say anyone’s been hugely impressive. Nothing looks hugely different from the other games.

And I don’t know if we are playing with a 2 man pivot or 3 man MF with a single pivot. Either way defensively the MFers, Enzo included, not protecting or doing enough off the ball barring the odd 2 or 3 tackles.

But what is he?? Even when he played deeper he wouldnt be good since he cant control a single pass. He cant be a 10 with this ball control. He is missing the basics. He isnt fast, he doesnt have a good first touch, he cant dribble, he cant shoot...idk man.

Just watched that ziyech shit again hahaha think it just hit my window in Leeds tbh.

Sounds like you want to wait 5 years to see results just because you like the coach 

[Pizy 18,323]

Kai is someone who, when he has so much time to think about a strike, always seems to make poor decisions with it. He has zero power in his shots for some reason. He’s an instinctual finisher when the ball is played into him quickly. 

Players like Sterling, Auba, and Mudryk are who you want in the end of these lobbed passes because Havertz sucks with them.

He build name for himself in Bayer as AM. CF is only 4th position he played there in number of games. Don't know why we changed that.
