GWT: EPL - Matchweek 22

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Way on! GLORIOUS.

Cucurella's runs into box to be in the CF/striker position finally pays off. Didn't believe it would, but glad to be wrong.

Lots of quality crosses by Madueke today.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Alright please take off Palmer now

Why isWves coach playing Ait Nouri on the right side tbh

Likely because Cucurella plays further up than James, so there's more space for Ait Nouri to attack on the right (given that attacking is all he can do)

noni!!!!!

 

[PanniniClaus]

Madueke - he needed something good to happen. Full props to Chalobah

nope, 10/10 you hit that in. you ALWAYS ensure it gets over the line.

 

[gary69]

Madueke stole a goal from Chalobah, who must be annoyed a bit. Not that Madueke didn't deserve a reward for his contribution today.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

okay now can we take off Palmer lol

btw, unless Chelsea get another, 15th place Spurs will finish MW22 as the second best attack in the division.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Oh, Disasi at right back, I truly don't like this

Nico, watch the line baby!

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Can't throw away a lead in the second half if you don't have it.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

A different ref might've given Moises a second yellow there, tbh.

Chelsea you needed to lose this game to make the Spurs relegation fight more of a reality.

An enormous sigh of relief. We won that game because conceded at half. Totally changed the approach to the second half, meant that we didn't need to starting thinking about "game management", could just keep playing our game. Kept Wolves from having serious chances, created pretty okay.

Onto the Etihad on the weekend. Haven't won there in years. Hope that Palmer can sit and put his feet up all week to be ready, and a fit Lavia can play from the start there. This feels like a year where we can win at City.

Back 4 really the stars today. When Reece is on the pitch, he's as important to us as Palmer. Never ceases to boggle the mind how strong and comfortable on the ball he is. Guys all over him and he just shrugs them off, turns them around, and carries into space.

I didn’t see much of the second half but Chalobah and Reece were standouts.

It’s such a shame man. Reece is genuinely one of the best players in the world. If he could be fit 75% of the time, that would be so good. Shame rly. He’s the best. Every phase of the game just so immense.

 

[gary69]

Yep, good for Chelsea to be able to end that five game rut and stop the slide in the standings.

Need to go on a run now, before Conference league matches return in March.

Glad to get a win here.

Chalobah makes an instant impact. Consistency has always been his issue though.
