I've argued this with stats: he gets ignored. He has the lowest numbers of passes directed at him. It's brutal, and reminds me of Bacon when he was with Bremen.
That United defense reminded me of the AI in FIFA, inexplicably moving away from the man with the ball.
I hope this stint was worth it for Frank. he has set his coaching career on fire, and should probably head back to punditry.
In what very well may be the last in-game post for CP this season, and maybe overall as far as Chelsea is concerned for such posts, I can honestly say...Sterling and Havertz? Did they really think that they would be able to beat Newcastle after failing with these two up front for the umpteenth time? Guess they did. Edit: Guess it isn't the end. CP on. Why they waited so long god only knows.
That Madueke takes too many touches in the box. Tricky, but not real clean. And, Pulisic now comes on for him.
CP wide open on the left. Kovacic just HAS to look left. And he looks right. Too late. The ball is taken from him. No much time left.
Well, that was good movement leading to an excellent chance for Felix but heads ove the crossbar. CP involved in buildup..
CP with a great run and lay off to Hall who crosses to Felix and he misses a chance he should have put away wish there were 5 more minutes. CP looked dangerous farewell, Chelsea. I won’t be watching any more matches, thank God. Unless you sign another yank…
I seem to be a bit behind. Anyway, CP initiates a good attack with a nice through ball there. In an alternative world, Chelsea with CP and Felix is a decent club that at least several wins better than it is now. Ball game.
They're looking for CP's runs behind. This version (B? C?) of Milan doesn't feel the need to build from the back.
