Burnley vs Chelsea

[Strike 7,591]

Have been better the last ten mins. Joao Pedro in particular looks lively behind a forward like Delap 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,840]

That assist from Gittens was sublime

[Vesper 30,469]

STUPID YELLOW

wtf Neto

[Milan 17,992]

Such a silly yellow card

[Vesper 30,469]

shit cross by Delap

he so needs to step up his play

I'd sell Santos for the first bid that comes in. 

He has been good today. 

Let's asses that at the end of the season. 

[Thor 2,764]

As soon as we get some control, what do you know - Delap and JP both look better. 

Not their fault at all.

[Pizy 19,009]

Delap’s been pretty good on the turn and starting attacks. João Pedro has been really poor. Really sloppy on the ball.

[Vesper 30,469]

lucky to be up

it has been dire overall

[Stats 7,188]

Delap is perfect for these type of games. Excellent strength and hold up play.

Yes same I would take out Pedro for someone else. 

This is where Caicedo can come in. Or another midfielder for better control of the mid... Which we don't have after Caicedo. 

[Special Juan 28,286]

Delap with his back to goal at times is brilliant, then in the blink of an eye his second touch is a tackle

[Pizy 19,009]

In my opinion, João Pedro is more of a player we should use mainly against the big teams where he can produce a moment of quality from nothing and where he’ll actually have space. Against compact teams that want to clog that #10 area he seems pretty ineffective. His languid, “lazy” sort of demeanor works against him.

Having a more direct, intense player in the hole behind Delap today and I think we’d look better. 

[Vytis33 1,314]

Reece subbed off.  He pick up an injury or just being overly cautious?

I disagree. When the space is tighter, creative players like JP are needed. He's been stringing the attack together today even if some of the passing has been sloppy. 

[Pizy 19,009]

Another Chalobah hospital pass. Been so poor today.

[Strike 7,591]

That's a hospital pass from Chalobah. Is having another average game - Need to get him out of the starting line up

Slowly passing the ball between our defenders at walking pace over and over and over again. Same lethargic, turgid shit against every small team.

All on Maresca. This is fucking horrible.

The commentary was saying that it's a method that has allowed the low block of Burnley to come out and play and thus leaving space for us to attack. 

[Vesper 30,469]

damn, off the post

[Strike 7,591]

Need to double the lead here. This defense can concede anytime
