GWT: UCL R16 First Legs

[al secord]

Give Ben Arfa 20 minutes.

 

[Evilo]

No, I agree they haven't really had a good chance, but they're still dangerous. A draw would be fair IMO.
But they lack ambition technically here (in terms of coaching). Bring a technical and creative player and that's all it'd take.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Mckennie is probably the best American player

 

[Evilo]

This is still EPL's 3rd ranked team against L1's 11th. It shouldn't even be close.

 

[Peen]

As long as Alonso is playing, that will always be an obvious route to creating ample dangerous opportunities.

Rudiger, historically and in this game, has been good at covering those mistakes

 

[Peen]

Mckennie is probably the best American player

This has been REALLY obvious to me in the Concacaf qualifying games i’ve seen

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Maybe the epl isn’t as great as it thinks it is… really they have 2/3 great teams and a bunch of meh.

Don’t watch that but just based off the games I watch from the leagues around Europe they’re either very overrated or very crap. Mckennie gets little hype but always impresses me. Think he’s underrated.

Dont think you can say Chelsea's roster is meh.
Havertz alone is probably worth the entire Lille team.
Tuchel lacks any ambition in terms of offensive football, but that was the case in Paris too.
L1 is MUCH better this year and Lille is doing fine despite some serious depth issues.

Epl’s third ranked team that hasn’t been able to score goals since the Chilwell/Reece injuries. Also, have not had Werner, Jorginho much either. Mount, others in and out with injuries. I don’t know.



I think teams go through lulls. We’ve been in one for a few months but to me, it’s understandable.

They’re obviously part of 2/3 clubs lol… ya based off of talent they should challenge Liverpool/city but it’s clear tuchel is trash. Chelsea fans like him tho

It isn't really a shot at Pulisic, McKennie is just that much better. He doesn't take night's off.

 

[al secord]

Right on cue lol

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Puli really needed that

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I’m still wondering when does Pulisic take nights on?

 

[Peen]

Hey, he finally successfully isolated himself and scored

I could feel pity if Lille hadn't sold one of their best offensive players in order not to be broke?
Gourvennec seems to think they can pass their way through that Chelsea regrouped defense. Why not use an offensive player like HBA who can actually dribble someone and unbalance?

Nice counter, I'm sure Tuchel is proud.

 

[al secord]

Pulisic is the best American player.

 

[al secord]

Huge goal

 

[Evilo]

Gourvennec's idea?
Put a big body in the box by putting Yilmaz on.
Yilmaz hasn't scored in months.

Chelsea fans like him because he's the reason we won a UCL, idk

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

dest is the best American player.

 

[Power Man]

I have to say, the multi-view in the DAZN app is pretty dope lol

So did Di Matteo.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Chelsea never got out of second gear and they're still 2-0 up, so...
