Yowza, rolled and then dragged the ankle. James was just reaching on the tackle.

[James 5,143]

Reece lucky to stay on the pitch 

[Gundalf 728]

Thats a red

[NikkiCFC 7,606]

Nasty tackle by James. 

[Gundalf 728]

Gusto better than James atm?

Potter destroyed them 5 months ago.

Sterling is really starting to piss me off. Can't stand watching him. Utter wank.

[Pizy 17,861]

Playing at half speed and without true sharpness we could’ve still scored 3-4 and Dortmund didn’t create one real chance. 

Not great to watch but still encouraging. Nkunku is SO important for our attack, though. So we’re in trouble if that’s a serious knee injury.

[James 5,143]

Sterling has had 0/5 good games in pre-season, absolute pony.

Madueke, Maatsen, Angelo... He should be completely frozen imo. 

[Pizy 17,861]

You swap out Gallagher for Caicedo and Sterling for Kudus and we improve dramatically both going forward and at controlling the midfield.

I was an adamant Sterling defender and thought he should get a fresh chance under Poch. But damn, does he look spent. Giving him the ball is basically giving it to the opposition.

Crappy game so far.
Jackson's first chance should have been a goal. You can't score with your eyes on the ground, all he had to do was to aim a bit to the left.

[NikkiCFC 7,606]

Man, just realised Carney is playing this game lol 

[zinctek 403]

and me - didnt even know Carney  was on the pitch

 

i moan about sterling but thats the best pass he has done in 5 games.

Ffs could someone put a boot through the ball!!!

[Pizy 17,861]

This is the Chelsea I know. Missing point blank chance after point blank chance. 
 

But goddamn, our midfield is WIDE OPEN. Beating a dead horse here, but WE NEED A DM!!!
