Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal

[Mhsc 983]

Two completely even teams tbh

Palmer having a bad game in general, not just on set pieces, looks like he is really struggling - perhaps not at his best after the horror challenge on him?

says a lot about what they think of Felix that a half-fit Palmer is starting ahead of him

Really, really disappointing from Cole that half. Of any player on the pitch you’d want him on those two free kicks and he blasts the wall both times. Come on, man.

[cosmicway 1,333]

Palmer affected by the injury.

[Pizy 18,543]

Though Caicedo was again great, btw.

Unfortunately Felix looks like the only fallback option to Palmer., because of his play style.

Unless Maresca wants to be bold and play Nkunku behind Jackson. With Sancho replacing Madueke.

Even match, but arsenal had more control of the game.

They are just much better on the ball.

it’s a tight game with tight marking—players don’t get a lot of time on the ball.

[Pizy 18,543]

Some nice bursts into space from Jackson that half but I thought he once again struggled to actually be a danger in the final third when it matters. He thrives against high lines where he can burst in behind, but when he’s got multiple defenders who he can’t run past he struggles. 

[TheHulk 2,034]

Get Enzo, Felix and James in.

[Blue Armour 4,366]

I know Madueke works hard defensively, but can't Neto do the same and more?

[Vesper 29,384]

fuckkkkkkk

so so close

[Blue Armour 4,366]

Best effort from Madueke so far

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Strike 7,317]

too easy. the right side goes missing. Madueke was tracking Martinelli so well till then

[Vesper 29,384]

smdh

[Blue Armour 4,366]

Terrible marking from Gusto.

Zero help from Madueke.
