  • Hey guys, Rarely post over here, but travelled out to London for work and made the pilgrimage on my free, insanely sleep-deprived Saturday. It was funny, I hadn't been to the UK since I was a kid

  • Alright, down 4-0 25 minutes in, let's watch body language and see if we fall apart.

  • Surprised their bench has that many Chelsea fans

We've got six points from two games, Gooners don't. I'll take that every time.

Went camping this weekend, so got to watch the game yesterday afternoon.

 

First half was beyond bipolar.  We dominated possession and flow, but would just give up opportunities that Arsenal should've completed.  Second half, we calmed down and didn't move the ball as well, but played much better defense.

Bringing in Hazard and Kovacic at the 60 minute mark is unfair.  Both those guys just boss the midfield with Jorginho and Kante.

Rudiger and Geezer - Need to get their head's on straight on the offsides trap as the fullbacks on most of those Arsenal goals or chances were pushed up the field with on of these guys hanging back.  I think they started to get a hold of it in the second half. I really like Alonso in the Sarri system as he has great movement but I'm not sold with him and Geezer covering the left back line.  Especially with Willian and Hazard being the winger (neither defend well imo).

Alonso and Dave - Dave and Rudiger feel solid, as above Alonso and Geezer don't, but Alonso's movement off the ball was fantastic.  Emerson is going to have to show something special at this point to move Alonso out.

Mid - Barkley is working his ass off and I love it, but as soon as Kovacic replaced him, the midfield became so dominant in control. Jorginho disappeared a bit when Hazard and Kovacic came in, but I think they are just feeling each other out and will soon begin to meld a bit. Kante is evolving, almost scoring 2 goals in 2 games.  Will be interesting to see where he goes from here. 

Winger - Pedro and Willian played very well for spells, but at times disappeared on defense.  Looks like Sarri prefers Pedro thus far when Hazard comes back to full tilt.

Striker - Morata looked great outside of the times he let oaf run him over.  I wish he would get bigger on those and make the CB push him down like Hazard does.

GK - needs stronger wrists (see Cech) but played well.  And in his defense that shot from Mhitikarian was launched.

 

All in all 2 games in 6 points are ours.  6 goals already in our pocket.  We obviously aren't there yet, but I didn't see the season starting this well with all the distraction of Tbo and Hazard as well as a new manager with a world cup summer.

Sideshow Bob is going to be the odd man out I feel.

Pete O’Rourke: Tammy Abraham set to join Aston Villa on a season long loan deal.

No article yet, but gaining steam on social media.

Sounds like a mixed review.  Performed well enough last season with Swansea to get another look in the PL imo.

Best case scenario is he lights it up and scores 20+ leading Villa back to the PL.

Getting loads of possession, and I like how crisp the passing is becoming.  But there aren't many shots because Newcastle have 32 men behind the ball.  They want a 0-0 desperately.

They look like they want to pass it all the way into goal. Possession is great and all, but you have to get the ball into dangerous spots at some point.

Morata has been shit since I tuned in. Slowing down the flow and his first touch in the box just now wasted what should have been a great chance at a goal.

Alonso did very well to earn the PK, which may have been the wrong call.

Hazard blasts it in!!!

  • Author

Fuck. Entire D switched off because Giroud was flopping on the ground. Awful.

  • Author

Wow. Somehow that got in. Alonso comes up big for the second week in a row.

5 minutes of extra time?? For what?

3 points at Saint James doesn’t happen often for us. I’ll take it all day long.

No shit. As soon as Geezer fell asleep and let them equalize, I assumed we might make it out with 1 point.

Hell of a game Alonso.

Fucking Alonso man. Like clockwork.

How is Alonso not an automatic starter for country

I love Alonso so hard.  He has been a revelation since he moved over.  Him and Azpi have been unbelievable steals.

really weird game today.  Ultimately we deserved the 3 points for actually trying to play a recognizable version of football,  so glad we got them.

Mason Mount got his 4th of the season today in a 4-0 Derby win.

We drew Liverpool in the EFL, so we get to play them twice the week of September 24-30.  

who did we draw in the Champions League?

We draw a Europa League group of Paok, Bate, and Vidi.  I know absolutely nothing about any of those teams, so I'll assume we go out first in our group.

A few thoughts:

- 4 games, 12 points. Can’t take that for granted.
- When was the last time Willian scored in open play? Does he ever shoot? Love his energy but he never threatens the net.
- Thank goodness for Pedro. He is always looking to score and this team needs that kind of mindset on the pitch.
- Morata was entirely forgettable. Time for him to ride the bench in favor of Giroud.
- Hazard was his usual brilliant self. His goal was lovely, as was the build up.

Blue is the color, bitches!!

Avoided this website all day yesterday. Great game. Really enjoyable football being played by Sarri.

I'll take my chances against anybody if we got the Kante, Kova, Jorg trio healthy.

  • 2 weeks later...

And Hazard hits again before the break!

Y'all need to wake up and turn it on.

Oh I’m up. I’ve been cleaning up dog shit for the last 20 minutes, so that brace from Hazard was a nice distraction.

Hat trick for Eden and Willian adds one from the bench.  Very nice!

Great goal from Willian. 

Very fun team to watch. Kovacic should've had a brace.

See yall soon...GO REDS!

Hopefully will still be battle of the unbeatens

Game in just about an hour.

Gonig to see quite a different lineup.

Chelsea team news: Just 21 players traveled to Greece, with Eden Hazard (rest), David Luiz (rest), Mateo Kovacic (knock), and Emerson (illness) staying behind to keep ineligible trio Danny Drinkwater, Rob Green, and Lucas Piazon company at Cobham. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Cesc Fabregas appear to have recovered from their respective injuries however, and could play a part in Sarri’s promised 4-5 player rotation. The head coach already confirmed a planned start for Alvaro Morata.

Ooph Pedro needs to bury that.  Hell of a pass by Alonso.

Missed the end, apparently Pedro with a bad injury at the end?
