1-1 mason burstow 👋

Bashir

GOAAAL!!!
Nkunku ? injury?

Very good performance from the subs

Mannn...I really slept off right before the game began and wake up as soon as it ended. Wft is that

full time 1-1 Chelsea didn't lose any preseason game , should have won this one btw .

Sterling with the lowest rating in this match, hmm Saudis time still dey sha

Bluelines69:


Mudryk need to see that person wey transform Vini

Very true..
I really do not see him staying at Chelsea for too long..

Liverpool next

Lots of exciting players in Chelsea, they should have won, na experience cause am. And why didn't they play PKs

Even subs get better rating pass him.

Sterling played better in the second half..

Bluelines69:
Mudryk is a pretty good dead ball specialist

he is, speed, dribbling, shoot power but needs to work on his accuracy in crossing and shooting. Hopefully with time and experience he gets better

Ah...Nkunku injured? How and why?

I hope he's ok o.

Sterling played better in the second half..

he actually got better till he made one ot two poor choices but yea he was different from first half

Bluelines69:


Mudryk need to see that person wey transform Vini

I’ve been saying it over and over again. He lacks inventiveness upfield. He seems not to know what sort of game that works for him.

Nkunku is out on the pitch at full time walking about, can’t be serious. #pys

🙄 "lacks inventiveness" 😒

No Angelo (likely not staying then), no Madueke (is he still injured??) Only positive is Mudryk did well at RW and glad we have Matseen

Meanwhile, "Conor Gallagher has been really good in a pivot, something I didn’t think I’d ever say. Actually looks way more composed now when receiving the ball from someone."

Sterling's decision making when he has the ball looks like that of weghorst... So damn lacklustre

Na coach order abi wetin dhe make mudryk no dhe defend proper cos then fit dhe attack him wing and instead of providing cover for 3, he go dhe stroll around as opponent won cross ball. The thing dhe pain me


We got dhe ruthless in front of goal cos epl go make person pay for this losses we had today. I no kukuma rate this Dortmund team wey no fit even win match to save their heads.

See how chukwemeka fumble that ball wey na only players dhe post. Not good at all. He did same thing against Brighton. Reach goal, next thing brain don go airplane mode

All round the team's making progress compared to the eye sore we had last season.

Getting rid of havertz n mount is the biggest W for me cos our attack this days look very much progressive. Just like that nkuku play with Jackson for first half

"Maatsen is a very smart player. Always in the right position and makes the right decisions with quality execution. It looks simple but is not so simple to some players."

With the way he's playing we shouldn't waste 40m+ on another attacking player.

Thumbs up to Poch for solving the many lbs situation, the way the boys played in second half you wouldn't tell that he played 3lbs, one in defence, one in midfield and one in attack

BlueAngel444:

Very true.

We attack and defend as a team. Enzo played like a 100m player and Poch will still bring out the best in him

If you then add Caicedo to the mix 🤔

Played better how? 325k per week experienced player, should be carrying this Chelsea team.

Well, I am watching Popizaino's Pochettino closely, if he will be stupid like those past coaches.

Cucurella was better in fact so far this preseason deserves to stay far more than sterling. Still needs to calm down, love his ball playing, passing and crossing skills, dude is creative when in attack.

I’ll say, on paper this looks like our best XI:

Kepa; James, Thiago Silva, Colwill, Chilwell; Enzo Fernandez, Gallagher, Chukwuemeka; Mudryk, Jackson, Nkunku.

I’ll love to see Mudryk switch to the RW as he impressed there during the dying minutes of the game, while Nkunku takes the LW.

Our biggest concern remains a DM. I don’t know how good that Ugochukwu boy can come. Having a good DM, Enzo and Gallagher in that midfield can create some energy that’ll be hard to match.

Didn't want to say with all the NJ excitement but isn't that boy a bit poor in the air, would have been good to have Broja fit or Lukaku/Vlahovic or a CF that's great aerially

Pochettino: "The fifth game was more for me to test who have a plan in my head to play." (@NizaarKinsella)


well sterling off then

did you watch the preseason? No way you don't start Matseen (I may be hyping him a bit too much) but instead of Mudryk put Matseen. Sometimes paper XI isn't a winning XI.
Enzo was pretty good in his DM especially rotating with Gallagher, maybe it had to do with Dortmund's midfield with changed later and got better. Then again, Matseen instead of Mudryk

Mauricio Pochettino on if the aim is to win the Premier League:

"We are going to try and win. I am not selling smoke. #Chelsea has to try and win. And I'll tell you if it was possible at the end of the season."
