GWT: EPL - Matchweek 22

[Savant]

I have not watched all the Spurs game but I thought they played very well defensively against LFC in the cup. I am surprised by their recent results. What happened since then?

I don’t think Liverpool looked like they cared particularly much

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Brilliant tackle from Chalobah on his first chance to get a foot in.

 

[gary69]

Chelsea got a good cross in, but Cucurella is the wrong guy trying to be at the end of those. That's the wrong option, even if it is Maresca's tactics for him to make those attacking surges.

No need to be tactically stubborn just for the sake of it.

Decent Palmer shot, but nobody close enough to score an easy empty netter from Jose Sa's block stop.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

LOL i think he's on

He's clearly on why are we still doing this

Tosin genuinely might be our most clinical player

 

[gary69]

Yeah, bunch of Chelsea guys were offside, but Tosin wasn't one of them. Good to get a goal for the run of play, since Wolves have offered very little offensively.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Reece gives us so much when he's fit, truly unbelievable that even with all the injuries he's immediately world class the second he touches the grass.

Really pleased to see him back.

Wolves players are making quite a few hard tackles, Caicedo got a knock, Palmer limped a bit for a while. Those two are the players can't afford to lose for any length of time, with all the injuries already.

A Wolves coach now booked for throwing a piss fit after a foul on James.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I like when the refs delay the corner to do the performative "c'mon lads let's not make this a scrum" and then proceed to allow things to continue fully as is.

Anyway, that's poor from Sanchez and an annoying goal to give away.

 

[hatterson]

Who is in goal for Chelsea? Onana?

 

[PanniniClaus]

Dreadful goalkeeping.. dreadful

 

[Jack Straw]

Sanchez really botched that one

 

[gary69]

There was very little to have made Sanchez to drop the ball, terrible.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

That's especially infuriating because we've been really good defending corners this year and Sanchez has been really good on crosses.

Strangely enough, though, I kinda feel better going into the second half level rather than in the lead. Can't throw away a lead in the second half if you don't have it.

They said on the NBC halftime show that somehow scoring might have been the worst thing to happen to Chelsea because then they were stuck not knowing if they should sit back and defend the lead or keep pushing forward.

Tuned in just in time to see that Sanchez howler.... Yikes.

I mean, that's been Chelsea over these last five games right? We score early, and then our game management is a total mess. So yeah, not necessarily a bad thing to be level at half.

Yea it's an absurd thing to say, but I'm not entirely sure it's wrong.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Dear left-footers receiving the ball in space in the left edge of the box:

You are allowed to drive it far post with your laces! People have scored goals like that! You don't need to float a cross!

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Why are all our cutbacks aerial when the only tall player in our offense is Cole f***ing Palmer

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Nkunku, Felix, and Sancho for Palmer, Neto, and Madueke please.

Palmer is clearly half-fit. Play Nkunku in the 10 and see what happens.

Neto’s such a disappointment. I know he was the backup choice to Olise but I genuinely did not think he was a significant downgrade. I thought Neto would be better and really shine.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Cucurella!!!!

Worried about the lines, gotta see a replay here.

 

[PanniniClaus]

The Hair!!!

That is a Dewsbury-Hall assist.
