Newcastle 2-0 Chelsea

[cosmicway 1,308]

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.

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.

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

On 8 August, 2023, it was announced that he had undergone surgery for a knee injury sustained during a pre-season match and would be out for an extended period, thereby missing the start of the season.

it is an expected elimination, given that it was a game against a difficult opponent and away from home It's a shame because you miss an opportunity to rotate the team, but it would always be a difficult game I understand that there are people who would rather have won this game than the league game, but ensuring the top 4 is much more important than the Carling Cup. nor is there any comparison.
