I was against the signing as soon as the rumours started to circulate. He's here now, so the manager should be instructing what's required from everyone.

Wouldn’t buy into it under trophy winning manager in Simeone who demanded and got the same effort from World Cup winners etc, what chance has Maresca got?

His performance tonight is exactly the reason why we shouldn’t have signed him. Loves affecting the game when its easy and there is no pressure but when it matters he is hopeless.

£40m is not really 'pennies'

and we can accept less

he is on £100K PW

half of Chilwell, half of Fofana

2 and a half times less than Reese and Sancho

3.25 times less than the rotter Sterling

No way Guiu earns so much.

[Vesper 30,106]

Filip Jorgensen (5/10):

Had a couple of shaky moments at the back but there wasn't a huge amount he could do for Newcastle's goals. With Robert Sanchez's place potentially up for grabs, this may have been something of a missed opportunity for the goalkeeper.

Axel Disasi (4/10):

Showed his physical strength on occasion but his passing could have been far better and his positional play needs massive work. Scored an own goal for his troubles, too. Poor, very poor.

Tosin Adarabioyo (5/10):

Was a bit more solid at the back than his defensive partner Benoit Badiashile but his passing out from the back wasn't particularly precise, either.

Benoit Badiashile (3/10):

Played team-mate Renato Veiga into trouble with a hospital pass that led to Newcastle's opener. His passing was wayward throughout and he was guilty of losing the ball too often. A horrid performance from the big centre-back.

 

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (4/10):

Was ineffective, lost his footing on a number of occasions and is unlikely to become a starter in Chelsea's first-team any time soon. Was taken off early in the second half. Bad outing.

Renato Veiga (5/10):

Newcastle's press forced him into errors and he didn't look particularly comfortable on the ball on a difficult night for the Portuguese.

Enzo Fernandez (5/10):

Did a lot of sideways passing and the Argentine World Cup winner, arguably, needs to offer more in Chelsea's midfield.

if we lose against Manure it will look a real fucking bad idea

Not only.
They are headless chicken at times and forget the 2nd half  because Newcastle were not up to it offensively.

Newcastle escaped by parking the bus.
Mid caliber side.
Maresca's defense lost this match.

No…

 

Newcastle outworked Chelsea in the first half with an organized press. Grabbed two goals from mistakes then because it was virtually the same team that played 3 days ago, conserved energy by sitting back in the second half. They won the match tactically. This does not bode well because carbon copy of the game over the weekend and our manager could not see this coming and adjust. Watch as other teams start to press us and copy the number Howe has done on us.

They sat back though.
Well, the fortunes of Newcastle do not concern me but a stronger opponent would have beaten us by 4-0, 5-0.

Had bad misses but Nkunku looked worse than him.

Time has moved on, and players ideally mature as they get older. If Maresca is no nonsense as is led to believe, Felix will remain a Cup player, provided everyone remains fit.

He obviously wasn't alone tonight in this way. Nkunku undoubtedly shown that, despite his superior talent, he will remain Jackson's understudy.

[cosmicway 1,333]

The other amazing thing tonight is I backed 11+ corners in the 58th minute, when the corner count was 7.
Immediately Chelsea wins three corners in the space of one minute - as the ball was coming in the Newcastle defenders were heading it out for another one.
So in the 60th minute I want two corners and Chelsea were pressing and Newcastle were trying a few counterattacks.
For the last thirty minutes plus extra time zero corners !

Two players we got from Leipzig did n't make it.
Werner and Nkunku.
A coincidence ?

I have no idea who thought it was a smart idea to buy players coming off serious injuries. The number of players who fully recover or get close is so small.

Yeah 100% re Nkunku. Been wanting him to start more often but has to do better tonight.
