Very even. This is not the Chelsea of last season, they are competent.
Michael Oliver is being very Michael Oliver again but fortunately it's yet to ruin the match.
I'd consider Jesus for Martinelli as he's not had much joy. Equally part of that is because Timber isn't overlapping to the byline. I guess Timber's just not as comfortable on that side but Martinelli isn't dribbly enough to do it alone.

Can see Chelsea ending up with 10 men.
A few stupid yellows from them, particularly Madueke. Chelsea player had everyone up in arms and the refs attention for throwing the ball away and delaying the restart. He gets away with it and then Madueke gets the ball and starts pissing around with it immediately after.

Yeah that should've been Palmer's yellow if the Rice threshold was being applied consistently.

I do think it’s time to give Jesus a run in the team, potentially for Martinelli, and see if he can regain a little form.

Now you've jinxed it. Some arcane rule will be applied for the first time.

I think Gabi's been decent the last few games. Constantly a threat and stretches teams. But often isolated. Knife edge stuff really, Chelsea definitely much improved but still there to be got at.

He’s been decent (he’s still a good player after all) but he’s consistently wasteful with his finishing. Difficult to carry that in a team creating very few chances at the moment.
Jesus’s finishing isn’t that much better to be fair, but I do think he’s better at carrying the ball and creating chances.

Gravity really is all over the place at this ground.

Havertz booked for blood on his head… |

I mean everyone was demanding more bookings for bleeding weren't they?

Fantastic from Martinelli off the ball there too.

Odegaard the difference there. Who knew having our most creative player back might actually help.

Just got to also best Chelsea B when they came off the bench now.

Very impressed with that run from Timber.

Timber is class. The only issue is that he's not comfortable crossing on his left so he doesn't overlap when on that side.
Fofana also diving.

How was it that easy to get the ball to him in that position? Lovely finish mind

Can they just use this as an excuse to take Neville off commentary.

Excellent strike to be fair. Yes he had space but it's a low percentage chance.

Presume Havertz should have picked him up as he ran between :/

We've been the better team, we've shaded the chances, just got to keep going and hope another breaks our way.
Pretty happy with the performance.

Can't believe this work rate from Odegaard considering.

Post by Dougs on Nov 10, 2024 18:14:32 GMT
Aye, thought we'd get 30 mins from him.
Still right in the balance. Good game for the neutral but I'd rather something more straightforward
