Newcastle Utd v Chelsea August 26, 2018

Solid NFL tackle by Yedlin there.

Hazard staying higher up the pitch in this system in this half so far: good.
Hazard taking our set pieces: bad.

 

Also now recall Sarri only expected Hazard to last 60, so perhaps he is saving Willian for then so have at least one that type on pitch all match

not a knock on Morata who is doing a much much better job of keeping ball last two matches , but time for Gerrard and some more physical cross and rt 1 ball

 

holy crap not even a foul

 

Agreed Morata seems to be staying on his feet this season . I think Geroud will give an alternative approach but we'll have to change the style to take advantage of it.

 

Willian on but for Pedro

 

This game seems to be destined to be decided by a set piece...if we can get one.

 

we need an enforcer to stop this shit in bud

 

That was some laser from Rudiger. Getting closer. I do wish Hazard would stop dribbling to the inside every time though.

 

Lucky penalty but I will take it .Newcastle will have to come out now, that could be a good or a bad thing with our defense

 

Yeah, that’s a harsh penalty.

 

Well, at least it fell to the side trying to win the game.

 

Barclay on for Kosovic can he run through the magpies

 

think it more for taking left leg out, better shout than the City one the pundits whinged about yesterday

 

I’d feel a lot more sympathy for Newcastle if they hadn’t spent the entire game kicking Hazard.

 

Agreed but considering the stuff Hazard has been getting from Diame I'll take it.

 

Sucker punch. Literally, still not convinced with the new keeper

 

Seen 'em given... but not often.

 

Literally.

 

Switched off after Giroud clattered.

 

Giroud and Alonso planed that you could see them chatting in the wall

 

Sideshow waiting for the ball to arrive

 

Haha. Fully deserved.
