Also, I hope our tactics and play are vanilla as hell in this game, because we play Chelsea in two weeks.
Well we certainly don't seem to be playing in a way to actually win so... Arsenal might have been lucky on a bad offside call or Drinkwater would've had 1v1 Cech. Iwobi on for Smith Rowe. Chelsea making multiple changes.
Iwobi just effortlessly pulled away from some dude in Chelskis midfield and carried the ball seventy yards.
This offside trap should be called offside hope and pray. A team playing with decent runners and passing should rip this apart. Really hoping that gets at least partially fixed with full XI or god help our GKs.
Jorginho gives ball away. Then Ozil to Lacazette whose shot barely goes past far post. Best chance this half.
Have a feeling that the most exciting thing to takeaway from this summer won't be Torreira but Gwendouzi.
As much as I've loved Guendouzi, I'm really hoping you are wrong because we need Torreira to be good or we're giving up tons of goals again this season.
Chambers with two good balls across box. Iwobi gets to second and forces a good save. Chelsea makes last change for their speedy Hudson-Odoi.
Nah I think Torreira will be as good as we think. But if Guendouzi develops into a better player, that will be great!
I never thought I’d say this, but chambers at RB is a significant improvement. His passing is much better than bellarin and he actually is aware of the offside trap.
To be fair, Chelsea are now playing more more narrowly and not aiming attacks down flanks much at all unlike first 65 minutes. Chambers is getting ball with average of 10-15 yd of space around him.
Ozil earns late free kick in 3rd minute of 3 minutes of stoppage time. Lacazette forces a very good save. Then ball goes in off Lacazette in 6yd box for 1-1! Nice poach.
Here we go. Let the Cech show begin. He gets hand to Drinkwater shot but it goes in anyway. Lacazette easily ties it at 1-1. Abraham makes it 2-1 as Cech goes wrong way
Nelson makes it 2-2. Moses gives Chelsea 3-2 lead as Cech goes to his knees. Guendouzi makes it 3-3 with good pk.
Chelsea 4-3. Maitland-Niles 4-4. Piazon 5-4 for Chelsea. Ozil makes it 5-5. Cech saves Loftus-Cheek kick! 5-5 still
