  • I'm intrigued with Lukaku coming back.

Well, we aren't Leeds, so we got that going for us.

I can't believe they're going ahead with the stupid motherfucking Carabao cup. If another first team guy gets injured I might put my head through the drywall in my bedroom. Someone needs to lock Ziyech Mount and Pulisic in an equipment closet so Tuchel can't play them.

Beautiful lineup. Thank you TT.

Is anyone watching? Anything of note?

Love it. Super sub smash and grab.

Mount - Pulisic - pen - Jorg - net - 2-0.

Winning is always more fun than losing. Especially when you aren't concerned about the result 😆

Pulisic keeps being put into this "false 9" role but in reality, he's playing a true 9. Never drops deep, always roaming the front line, and clearly, a true 9 is not his style, nor does he have the physical attributes to succeed at it. 

Havertz played an actual false 9 in the CL finals. I don't know if it's TT telling CP10 to just be a 9 or CP10 not embracing the "false" part but I think him in that Havertz role would work really well for everyone. 

Sooner or later, Chelsea will be healthy and hopefully CP10 finds a strong footing in that 11.

Yeah I don't really understand the term false 9 sometimes. It seems to me people use it whenever a non striker is playing striker regardless of what they're actually doing on the pitch. Pulisic hasn't played false anything in that position. He's basically playing striker/9 except he's 5'8" and either not big enough to get the ball or we can't get him the ball in those spots (likely both). 

When healthy and in form he's pretty much world class on either wing and he's getting close to being fully healthy and seems to be picking up some form again - so I'm really hoping we can get Lukaku/Havertz/Werner back out there in AM or striker or 9 or false 9 or whatever the fuck you want to call it.

I do appreciate how many different positions he's played and I'm sure Tuchel does as well but it makes the dude look bad on occasion. The pen today was a phenomenal piece of work and he's good for stuff like that if he's put in the right positions. He just isn't good enough to overcome being put in the wrong positions (few players on this team are).

Up it.

May not be able to watch - on the road right now. Probably will tune in on audio (FYI - Chelsea app does a live audio stream for every match). 

And a fucking own goal, because of course a fucking own goal.

Challenge was so bad the fans didn't even say a word, lol.

Couple of nice defensive plays there, but it would be a lot cooler if we didn't need so many.

Who the fuck is that? 

Lukaku in the open field is one of my favorite sights in Footy.

Well, I was about to post that this was one of the ugliest 1-nils I could remember, but now I don't have to do that, which is awesome.

  • Author

That should about do it for title contention. Fuck me. 

Well, I was sure hoping the Lukaku quotes were taken out of context.  However, reports say Tuchel dropped him for today's Liverpool clash, after having a discussion with him about the interview.  wtf?

  • Author

Tuchel ain't playing that shit. 

Let's try this again. 

Hope Pulisic hasn't forgotten how to play his actual position.

This team is in absolute free fall.

Well... it isn't the same team but we still shouldn't be this bad.

Fair.  But still...first 40 min were quite disappointing...

HOLY FUCK. KANTE. PULISIC. UNREAL. TWO WORLD CLASS GOALS BEFORE HALF!!!!

  • Author

Oh holy tits that was almost 3. 

  • Author

The Kante flick was pure sex. A tiny, cheese-eating football wizard. 

  • Author

The playing on of some of these offsides calls is getting ridiculous. Mane was a full yard off. Blow the whistle. 

  • Author

Dear fucking God. Calm down Salah.

  • Author

STOP LETTING THEM IN. PLEASE.

  • Author

Beats a loss. Continues to be a frustrating stretch. City would really have to bottle it at this point. 

Three other trophies still out there!

Man Kante is so fucking good.

Cholabah with a awful play, but we stuck with it and got 1 point. Now if we could only close out games against teams we are meant to beat.

City will falter at some point, but man we need to get some sort of health going. Kai and Tiago did well despite their health, hope they continue to improve. But this list of injuries is killer.

Seeing Lukaku listed as "other" is kind of funny, reminds me of when Tim Duncan had a "DNP - old" a while back.

But fuck Lukaku. 

I guess when you're down 0-2 to Liverpool you've got to be happy to get a point.

Feels like our ceiling is 2nd and our floor is 3rd.  

Let's just fuck around and win the Champions League again.

 

Hindsight and stuff but sure would be nice to have Valentino Livramento right now.
