Chelsea really performed effectively at instances and managed the house sport in opposition to Manchester United yesterday.
Our opponents had been terrible although, and simply exhibits the extent of this league proper now. It was a fairly bland watch, Chelsea vs United final night time. I really fell asleep for about ten minutes within the second half, not even joking. That’s high degree Premier League soccer for you in 2026!
United had a second charge backup defence out with out the mainstay centre again pairing, and Chelsea couldn’t even penetrate it. We tried, we tried fairly laborious in moments, and we did get very unfortunate to not get the ball within the internet in a few moments. However finally, it’s at all times the outcome that can rely and matter, and sadly, that’s all I’m concerned with in what has develop into one other very worrying time at my soccer membership.
Admittedly I did see some good moments, I may need missed some too while I used to be sleeping… ! However the greatest drawback is we solely mustered 1 shot on track from 20 makes an attempt – that’s completely horrible.
We diminished a poor United facet to only 4 makes an attempt on objective, with 1 on track. That’s nice on us, however surprising on their half. However the distinction is, they scored from their 1 try, they usually had been comfortable sufficient to sit down on that and see it out, as a result of that’s how unhealthy they’re.
As I stated, Chelsea managed the sport with 60% possession, numerous it pointless thoughts because it typically has been in the previous few years taking part in this magical ‘possession-based’ soccer that the geniuses in control of our membership need to play. And likewise, we proceed to seek for the proper objective once we can’t even get a scrappy one. Who cares the way it goes it? Simply take some rattling pictures and cease attempting to move it into the web.
Everyone knows our head coach is effectively out of his depth and I’m sorry however I’ve gotten to the purpose the place I can’t even stand him now, not to mention listening to what crap goes to come back out of his mouth this time. Sick of him, he must go, sooner quite than later. He’s FAR from adequate. However I’d additionally haven’t any belief within the homeowners bringing in anybody higher. The onus is at all times on them initially.
On the constructive, I assumed Cole Palmer was half respectable not less than in moments within the first half despite the fact that he was irritating within the second. He was dictating numerous the higher play that we did have. Enzo Fernandez was additionally good and doing numerous the deep dictating of play. Aside from their objective, I assumed we really appeared fairly stable and organised. I imply, they actually solely had 4 makes an attempt at our objective. A few of that was on them thoughts and the way unhealthy they’re. OK, most of it….
However apart from that, the positives had been few and much between even when we had been unfortunate to not rating. Some poor particular person performances from the likes of Liam Delap and Alejandro Garnacho, who was simply such a poor signing. As you understand, I backed Delap, however he’s thrown me below the bus effectively and really.
It was simply flat, the environment was flat, the sport was flat, Chelsea are flat, soccer is flat!
Chelsea have now failed to attain in 4 consecutive premier league matches for the primary time since 1993.
– Liam Delap is TWENTY video games with out a objective in all competitions
– Garnacho has not scored within the league in SIX months
– Pedro Neto has 0 targets in 9 matches
– Cole Palmer has 0 targets in 7 matches
Marc Cucurella tried to run down the tunnel after the sport with out clapping the followers, solely to be instructed to go accomplish that by Willie Issa.
Liam Rosenior went to clap the Matthew Harding Stand and received booed, instructed the place to go, and V-signs aimed toward him.
The homeowners had been closely protested in opposition to earlier than kick off by far more than the Met Police’s estimate of 500, which was a big and damning second for them.
Moises Caicedo, who could be our quietest captain ever, goes via some actual off type too and isn’t captain materials. Enzo Fernandez, our solely actual chief (and no, a captain is NOT somebody who leads by instance, it can’t be), continues to be being punished as a result of he isn’t agreeing to their wage phrases, I imply as a result of he stated he wouldn’t thoughts residing in Madrid at some point…
It’s all an entire mess.
And including to that, Everton, who’re in tenth, might go forward of Chelsea with a win over Liverpool right this moment.
Liverpool might lengthen their lead in fifth to five and even 7 factors tomorrow.
A reminder, BlueCo walked in to Chelsea with Thomas Tuchel as the pinnacle coach, Petr Cech within the board room, Frank Lampard keen to leap in and assist, and John Terry able to sacrifice his all for any form of position on the primary crew teaching employees.
BlueCo out. Rosenior out. I would like my Chelsea again.
