PBP: 11/27: Pulisic (start) - Valencia v. Chelsea, Champions League MD 5

Lumpy is a strange one. He just needed to showup and play a solid defensive match. Pantty, Willian and CP have enough pace to break and Valencia is an eager attacker. but he wants to play open against a team in La Liga built for the wide field, open attacking. Oh well.

 

this is a video game!

 

Well ok, that makes up for a bit.

 

Looked like the AI just kicked in.

 

Kovacic finally gets a goal lol

 

great goal. puli needs to pull the trigger for the shot on some of his runs instead of passing it off. he is able to consistently create open looks at the net

 

doesn't feel like it's been 44 minutes yet.

 

i got michigan isu on the other screen, this is great. no work till next week ******** yea.

 

Needs to show his frustration more often ... particularly if that inspires goal-scoring.

 

CP setup Kova beautlifully.....what a bad missed

 

Wow, what a goal! They seriously need to read CP's runs a bit better.

 

wife's at work. She left me a list . . . "rake the yard" is on it. Get real.

 

The second one should have been a wormburner too. It would have been 2-1. Instead he shot it high so it was easier for the keeper to deal with.

 

pulisic with a great run but kovacic hits it right at the keeper.

 

Why does Pulisic take so many touches in the box? Turn and shoot.

 

it feels like fanboyism but pulisic is their best attacking player and not playing him when he has lots of space is dumb and they still do that a lot

 

The angle favored the keeper more than the shooter and Kovacic had to first time it. Good chance but I wouldn't call it a bad miss.

 

Tammy down, looks like a rough landing...back injury maybe

 

What, didn't she see the Champion's League fixtures?

 

Holding like his kidney area. weird.

 

he shoot aim for the far post, always shoot opposite of the direction of the goalie

 

Seriously, though, that FLEW by.

 

that sucks, hip or sports hernia maybe
