Premier League 2018/19

Awful keeper. Burnley just clawed back though

dodgy defending there too. After the initial header, the Burnley player is completely unmarked. You'd expect someone on the post to be able to pick him up.

It's interesting, though. They don't have that dominant aura they usually have, this season.

They're technically very good, but also look vulnerable.

Yeah I agree, there's certainly something missing from the team. Having Morata up front doesn't help. Also like you say they do look vulnerable. Unfortunately Benitez and Newcastle have a habit of this against big teams at home in that they sometimes mostly just camp in their own half so Chelsea's defence may not be tested as much as it could be.

Great block from Morata.

 

[thinktank]

That's a cracking first half.

Fans getting their full money's worth there.

 

[ajspurs]

Crazy how Chelsea have only had 1 shot on target. Intruging game though, enjoying it.

 

[yankspurs]

Id honestly consider subbing out Hart right now. Give yourselves a chance to get something out of this because Hart cant save a shot

 

[alfie103]

Hazard is a brilliant player. So good to watch.

 

[JCRD]

I hate Chelscum but theyre playing some lovely stuff like one touch passing kind of stuff. Defensively theyre a shambles but highly enjoyable going forward

 

[thinktank]

That was a 'good first touch' away from being an amazing goal.

 

[Giovanni]

Just a matter of time right?

 

[gilzeantheking]

I'm sure they have cloned Kante, and are actually paying more than one of him.

He's everywhere.

 

[Giovanni]

Not being funny but joghino, kovacic and kante is abit of an overkill. Why sarri not bought on a forward more?

 

[thinktank]

Sarri has allowed the players much more freedom to express themselves.

It's a free, 'airy', open style of football which is much more exciting for their fans.

But also leaves them more open to be exposed by top opponents.

I really fancy us against them, home and away, this season.

Newcastle have parked the bus.

 

[yankspurs]

And here comes Giroud to bag the winner

 

[thinktank]

Newcastle look like they got a decent keeper there.

 

[yankspurs]

If Newcastle can hold out until the 80th, i think they could try for a smash and grab and bring in Atsu and Muto

 

[wirE]

OMFG Newcastle

 

[thinktank]

Newcastle have parked the bus.

They've been 541 in defence all game.

They've also had a go on counters, though, and have comitted players forward.

Good game plan, overall.

Very disciplined and everyone knows their role.

They've got good pace on the flanks and Chelsea's style leaves them vulnerable to quick responses on turnovers.

Made for a really good game.

Penalty to Chelsea.
