Chelsea (A) 20/9/20 - Premier League

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Beating Chelsea is always nice, especially at their place, but given how tough the games were last season, it was nice to do it in style.

I guess, in fairness, the containment job probably doesn't count as "highlights", whereas two good touches from an expensive signing does - that's where it's the job of BBC's masterful panel of critics to point out Fabinho's dominance, and I'm guessing they didn't, of course.

 

There was at least one superb tackle that I thought would make the cut.

Hendo needs to play simpler passes. This Quarterback shit will get us nowhere. 

There are reasons I'm not a manager.

@Caramac any chance you could furnish us with a gif of this - Fab on Werner at around 20 minutes?

Did someone skim an Erdinger?

Chelsea can bitch about that red card all they want, up until then they had barely created anything and seemed scared of us. We kept the ball far better even in that first half than we did against Leeds. Fabinho didnt put a foot wrong, dont think I've seen someone play out of position yet look so calm and relaxed, especially against a player tipped to be one of the league's top scorers. 

 

Glad that we've rattled them for Lampard to play an ultra cautious game against us. I barely even noticed Havertz playing so hopefully Lampard has no idea what to do with him. We've put them in their place early on in the season and put a lot of doubt in their mind as to whether they are good enough to challenge for the title. They were mouthing off in the press during the week how they were going to couse us problems.

 

Second half was great, just treated them like a warm up game and it was good to get Thiago on for some minutes.

I never thought Chelsea would be in the title race proper, but it will be interesting to see them with their full team available. We probably only played against one of the back five who will be in place in a month's time.

Struggling to find any footage of that one at the moment mate, will post it up if I find any.

Hilarious the way Fabinho is a better centre back than Harry McGuire. 

[Funkasy]

He is probably better then Matip and Gomez to. 

[Anubis]

Love the way on a couple of those how Werner throws up his hands in exasperation.

[Section_31]

Class. Chelsea will do okay due to sheer force of weight of their talented players (Werner will put his head down a lot and run, sheer odds mean this will lead to goals) but Lampard ain't got a tactical bone in his body, that was clear in the way they set up against us. It says more about the quality of the league that they and the mancs will probably finish top four, when they come up against us/city and decent European opposition though they'll get a slap. 

[thegreatelephant]

it's almost as if Lampard has rated these new expensive players he's bought based on a few youtube clips and hasn't got a fucking clue whatsoever. fa fa fa fa fashion

[Jordy Brouwer]

Hope Werner has a worldie when the play City.

Every one of those tackles ends with a pass to a teammate.  He really is quite good at doing football.
