Chelsea 3-0 Luton Town

[bluesman2610 1,356]

I feel like it’s been a thing since Tuchel we don’t really play forward very much. The midfielders don’t take risks on forward passes. Jackson is a willing runner. Way to many back passes still someone needs to get on the ball with their head up and look for those wall passes we had in preseason

I thought 2nd half was better. Still frustrating but made a few more direct moves and unsurprisingly scores from them. Enzo is Great at moving the ball  but a terrible shot. This talk of him as no 10 has to die. He is terrible in a forward role. Really holds us back. Should either go for 433 or start another attacker when the back 5 has to stay. Not a fan of 3atb with Chilwell pushing this high. Totally lopsided and ineffective.

gusto is no James but looks solid. 
delighted Sterling is finally clicking. Jackson off the mark can be huge. 
Caicedo and Gallagher were quietly decent but hopefully will gain more control once they gel better. Disasister as always with his shaky moments but will simply need time to get accustomed. Colwill was a bit meh but without consequences. Same as Sanchez. Thiago class as always 

Agreed, it does look like Finishing is not something we will get out of Enzo; everything else is there.

Gusto seems like better on D tho; wonder if he'd not be even better w/ 4 at the back.

Thank you. It is important to protect the forum from abuse like this. It is hard to say in individual circumstances for sure but it’s an inevitability that rival fans will sign up here to wind us up. Almost 99.99% chance he was not a Chelsea fan.

He actually has been here for years. His posts actually used to be insightful but the last couple of years has become what we saw here and there’s no need for that.

He has been turning up on the forum for the last 10-15 years. His speciality was to  post when we lost generally. Think he hated Mourinho or had a secret crush or something

Tiago Silva is our only decent CB.

Levi Colwill was solid

Some people here really need a therapist. Even when there are positives, some forcefully focus on the negative aspects of things lol

 

3 points, 3 goals by offensive players, clean sheet, no injuries. Didnt have that for a while. Good day.

He's clearly been replaced by ChatGPT-Henrique

Good second half. 

I'm hoping this Chilwell as a winger experiment is more to do with Mudryk and Madueke not being up to speed.

Sky pundits even saying how good we were. Apart from the scouse ones, sort of backhanded compliments. Bitter over Caecedo and Lavia. Which is nice.

Why the need to attack others and not just give your opinion? 

Do we all need to sound like cheerleaders here? forum would be extremely boring if that was the case.

yeah man there was nothing going on the the left int he first half.
Mudryk is injured tho, otherwise he'd have prob started today. Madueke is not employable atm IMO; Poch is watching him in practice, so he may see improvement before we do.

Typical performance after a loss, nervous players for a lil bit but every player grew in confidence as the game went on. Malo finally arrived to be the guy we saw in preseason by the 2nd half.

Sterling is real hot right now, thank fuck. He’s tended to have periods like this that fizzle out but if he can play like this until Nkunku is back we should be happy.

I love NJ.

Does anyone sound like a cheerleader here? Football is about emotions and if people cant be happy anymore when their team won then they have a problem, sorry. 

It tells a lot when someones first comment after a 3:0 victory is sth like "XYZ is shit!" like this Henrique guy. Thats just not healthy.

yeah but ironically your comment sounded a bit down, at least to me. And that after a much needed win.

Poch is speaking very strong about Nico. He feels he is very strong and can become the greatest striker in football. Poch knows what to say.

[TheHulk 1,936]

Thank fuck we raised the level in the 2nd half. Hope we get Cherki and go on a winning run with the easy fixtures we have.
