They were talking (Spanish language broadcast) about how Tammy Abraham got a lot of racial hatred due to the missed penalty. Seems like the Chelsea ultras are still living up to their reputation as neo-Nazis. PS: Looks like it made the papers too: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-racist-abuse-directed-at-tammy-abraham-video
Lol what?? The commentator literally mentioned how tough Pulisic is. He only got dumped once and it was on the touch line and he was in the air. He’s done well of staying on his feet this game. He was dangerous the first part of the first half and then trailed off with the rest of the team the last 20 minutes.
Marcos Alonso killed a passenger while drunk driving, so he's pretty hateable. Other than him though, you're right. Chelsea were the bane of my existence as an Arsenal fan for years, but now they're pretty bland.
Delicious trollery. He hasn't been bad. The energy died for sure. Is Pulisic sliding along the mid-field? I've seen him on both the left and the right. Didn't see how they lined up.
Chelsea’s midfield lost the plot, and have left their attackers off on an island. I don’t know that Giroud even touched the ball in the first. As for Pulisic, think he’s played a good tactical match. He’s used his dribbling to bring others in rather than create chaos, he run back on D, and when he has gotten in trouble it’s because he gets the balm and has 3 defenders blocking his passing lanes, so he does the slow dribble up the pitch trying to find an angle until he loses it. All in all a good half considering how much attention he gets (and little space), and how ineffective his midfield has been at A) retaining possession, and B) creating danger On the other hand LC has been equally bad at holding possession and creating. Outside of the first 10 when Chelsea was capable of passing out of midfield, this has been horrible football to watch
He hasn’t really created anything. I’m pretty sure that’s his job, so not a great half. But he hasn’t stunk or anything. Hopefully his ankle/foot is fine and he doesn’t get subbed early.
I actually like Mounts energy as an 8, but am not sure he’s what you want at 10 right now. Think they’d be better off bringing on Willian or Barkley and dropping Jorginho who’s been poor, and then play either Barkley or Puli in the middle.
He hasn’t really been given the opportunity to be honest. None of that Chelsea forwards have outside the first 15. They really need to calm down on the ball in possession
Fairly boring game. Large stretches of nothing. Leicester with basically no chances. Chelsea score off a playing out of the back screw up. Chelsea create a few other half chances.
Pulisic hasn't been good..need to do something before the 65 minute mark or he'll get pulled for Williams.
pulisic doesn’t seem to have his best decision making today. backward first touches when it seems like he should push forward and vice versa
