Cicero 5,267 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Atletico around the corner but we need to focus on getting maximum points against teams we are likely to beat. Our last 4 league games could decide our season should we fuck about in these games. Mendy Zouma---Christensen---Rudiger James-------------------------------------------Chilwell Kante---Gilmour Ziyech----------------Pulisic Havertz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,267 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Would you look at that, Pulisic out injured yet again. 9th injury in the space of a year and virtually all of them self-muscular injuries. Glad we aren't relying on him in the manner we did last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we aren't relying on him in the manner we did last season. Yeah, Pulisic's injury woes since joining Chelsea have been worrying. But as you suggested, he is more of a fringe player in the Chelsea team these days anyway. I can only see another Chelsea win against Southampton today. Since Tuchel joined the club, Chelsea's record has been quite impressive. They have won their last 5 matches in all competitions on the trot. I do not think that Southampton will be able to hold out against this Chelsea team, despite the fact that they will be playing at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,394 Posted February 20, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted February 20, 2021 Lovely from Southampton. Literally the first thing they've done productively Minamino does superbly there. Nice assist from Redmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 3,828 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 It's funny because I would say Chelsea have actually looked a bit more 'zippier' than against Newcastle but when it comes to that final pass or delivery, the quality has been lacking.

Kante had the better of him. The one moment he went forward centrally without the ball, Chelsea didn't track him. It was a very impressive finish with composure though!

Cicero 5,267 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Decision making in the final third again just non existent. Tuchel has had a few weeks to sort it out and his team selections aren’t helping. Far as I’m concerned, that goal is on Tuchel for playing Zouma, a player who has no positional awareness, playing in a role that requires positional awareness. Christensen is far better in that role and dropping him makes zero sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been his problem when he's played for us; decent on the ball, but completely anonymous too much of the time. Still, 2 in 2 for Southampton while Origi sits on zero all season and even Mane's scored 2 in 9 this year... doesn't look great for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael 1,117 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Vestergaard went close to giving Southampton the lead there as his header struck the bar. Chelsea need to get back into their groove as Southampton have had most of the possession in the last 10 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted 1,776 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Chelsea looking shaky against a side that plays a narrow 4-4-2, counterattacks quickly, and is strong on set pieces. I’m sure Diego Simeone will be watching this game with a lot of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could do with his aerial abilities now as well as the fact that he is good at holding the ball up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
