Chelsea away match thread

Rope a dope 😂

[fuchsntf]

Yehhhhhh, But we did win the cup...

[Fox seen in Norwich]

Maddison needs to step up. Has he touched the ball at all?

[Shane]

Mendy, Choudhury or Praet on. Double down and play for a point imo. Any defensive sub will do.
 

Get through this Chelsea onslaught and you have to fancy our chances against Spurs infront of a buzzing KP crowd.

As much as it’s been Davy Crocketts last stand at the Alamo, Chelsea are very toothless up front. Very ineffective. All 🐓  no ⚽️ s

If it continues like this, even a "toothless" Chelsea will find a way to smuggle one in.

Honestly - I'll take that. We are getting battered but it's still 0-0. They'll get frustrated and make mistakes. Hopefully by then we'll have the personnel on the pitch to take advantage and shithouse a win.

No. We are lucky to not be down 3-0

[Chester Dontlie]

Expecting a different performance second half

Perez off, enter the Nachoman 

[sishades]

We must also take into consideration that Cheatski want revenge for Saturday and our boys are obviously and naturally not focused, How many of us are still playing the final in our minds?

[Fox85]

Get Perez off as he is on a booking and get Hamza Cruncher Choudary on and start snapping at some tackles get out there and fycking hurt them slow them down then break

[Cameron Davidson]

That hip injury to James Maddison has really set him back, form wise. I remember when he was in the same conversation as Mount and Grealish. He's not far off Aston Villa version Drinkwater at the minute. Hope he gets back to the decent level soon. 

[HighPeakFox]

Given what happened Saturday, I think that's a tremendous 45. We're in the game.

[coolhandfox]

Love how some posters are digging out the manager and players 45 minutes after winning the FA Cup.....

 

[Dandy king]

On Saturday I couldn't believe we'd won the cup. Today I cannot believe how it's nil nil ! Praying for an absolute shit house win

[HybridFox]

Oh shut up Souness. Clear dive from Werner

[Guest Col city fan]

There’s got to be a better way to get Perez and Maddison involved surely? We gotta keep the ball more

[Duquesne Whistle]

That was a tough watch, but we were always going to have to scrap, bite and claw our way through that 1st half after the last match. Chelsea were possessed.

It's 0-0 though, another 15 minutes and they'll get absolutely frantic. We have to somehow keep that pressure growing and there's a chance they could fold.

Bitten my fingernails to the elbow so far though.

 

[fazzyfox]

Very tough, very high standard we're up against and can't have as many chances as that for them in second half but overall they're doing some great work out there.

 

Main frustrations nothing sticking with Perez or Maddison, a couple of thoughtless balls from Soyuncu and at times Thomas is AWOL from his position either gone inside to help out there or struggling to get back from an attack.

We're in the game, we hape the option of Nacho and Praet or even a CB with Castagne to RB to tighten up even more.

 

The longer it goes the more they'll get frustrated, keep the faith.

Tielemans just hacked at the back of his legs in the box, how can it not be?

Tielemans was clearing the ball as Werner jumped in and dived at the inevitable contact Youri didn’t know he was making. 

[J.Lisemore]

How are we not losing. I do think Mendy is the man to come on here.. we're being completely over ran 

[adam]

Sourness got the arse. What a dour ****.

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

So Vardy up top doesn't work unless he has Barnes with more pace to run with the ball and get us up the pitch.

 

We've Dropped nacho to accommodate another midfielder yet we are still getting run through the middle so it clearly hasn't worked. 

 

We need a second man up top to pin them back.

 

They are getting down our flanks so easily with the ball around the corner so we need to switch to a back 4.

 

Get praet on to give us more ball players so we can actually retain the ball and nacho up top 

 

Switch to 4-3-1-2

[STUHILL]

Praet on for Perez surely. Maddison moved more central. Waste of space out wide in attack and defence 

[Guest bennytwohats]

I dunno how some of you can say that’s not a penalty and keep a straight face.

 

I mean I’ll take it, but that’s a huge let off for us

I’ve seen him rolling around on the pitch a couple of times, otherwise I wouldn’t have known he was playing

Salty Souness 🤣🤣🤣🧂🧂🧂
