Good luck to the good ship chelsea and all who sail in her in 2022. Tough fixture to open with but perhaps a lack of complacency will see us show up for the full 90 minutes for a change. Not sure if pulisic will line up in the false nine per the beeb or if kai will lead the line today with Big Rom punished for his flapping gums.
NBC showing Pulisic on the left, Mount on the right, Havertz up top. Tuchel just suggested he left Lukaku out to protect the prep for the match. It was too noisy. Leaving him out, in my opinion, makes more noise. When we don't score today, that will dominate headlines. Tim Howard reporting that Lukaku has another meeting with the club on Monday and the sitch is "hot." (Howard texts with Luk/friends with him)
Todays game at the Bridge will be the first time fans will watch from standing areas since laws came into force in 1994.
Lukaku needs to be contrite or it will make matters worse. No one is bigger than the club and any manager would have dropped him for what he said. Absolutely mental he would say what he said and expect no consequences. And I havent seen him dispute any of the quotes. Idiot.
Defenders fcuk up sometimes. Mane took advantage. When Trent ********ed up at the other end - Pulisic fluffed his chance. thats the difference so far. We have started quite well.
