True Blue 955 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Palace always turns into Barcelona against us, but in this new offensive system we will allow them very little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,152 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Morata playing the full 90 last night was a good sign. Zaha will undoubtedly turn into prime Cristiano Ronaldo for the day but as @True Blue mentioned, given our form and new style, we should have more than enough to secure three points.

The Palace Fan 3,180 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Eden Hazard is fit to return from injury. That's nice I'm sure Kevin DeBruyne will make a miraculous recovery in time to play us too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,152 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 1-0 at the half. Morata Started off slow, but picked up the tempo after a few Palace scares. Our midfield three have been good and Kante in particular given he's broke a few Palace counter attacks. Lack of width hurting us. Dave doesn't like to push up and Alonso is a turtle. Need to kill this game of whilst we can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storts 2,344 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Chelsea another one to get a fortunate offside decision this weekend. Goal should have been ruled out, Morata clearly interfering and only reason the ball was headed away as it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan 16,919 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 1-1. Palace equalise through Townsend. Where was Luiz going? Caught ball-watching and ball-chasing leaving acres for Townsend to run in to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,152 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Fabregas coming on for Jorginho. I know @carefreeluke has been skeptical that Sarri was known for his lack of rotation at Napoli, but it hasn't been an issue here. Lots of options to choose from compared to at Napoli. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreeluke 722 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Class Tweet: Pedro has always reminded me of: Pedro is a roadrunner, one of my favourite Chelsea players. Shame he's getting on a bit. Does one of those runs every match guaranteed. The man plays like he's on drugs.

carefreeluke 722 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, Cicero said: What you make of Morata Better recently of course. Perhaps stating the obvious but he's a player that plays well when he's scoring goals as he doesn't offer an awful lot with other parts of his game. His movement has improved recently as well though which does benefit those around him and something that has perhaps coincided with this is that we're finding him a lot more often and hence playing to his strengths a bit more. Maybe this is something that has been worked on in training. Type of player that relies heavily on service, was the case at Madrid as well and he isn't Drogba or Costa who can create something out of nothing. I'll say it for the millionth time but confidence and mentality seems to be paramount to his game, wouldn't be surprised to see him go on a lengthy and significant run again this season without scoring, up and down is definitely one way of describing him. It's nice to have the variety in attack with Morata and Giroud though who both offer different characteristics that suit different moments. Not saying we don't need to find a prolific striker by the way. Maybe Sarri can sort Morata out who knows. Another positive thing about Morata today was that he didn't sulk as much either which again goes back to mentality as that seems to come out more when things aren't going his way. Morata has always had the air of good potential about him but at the same time that air of calamity as well, that negative side is eeriely similar to the feelings Torres used to provoke. Seems to finish better when having to play on instinct and when he hasn't got time to think, the chance he had in the dying moments today perhaps sums him up nicely in that regard. That was a dreadful finish at the end there in my eyes. Edited November 4, 2018 by carefreeluke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
