PBP: Matchday 2 / 2023-2024: West Ham United FC v. Chelsea FC

Zouma strides out with the Captain’s armband.

 

Not a great start.

 

Sterling, the new Havertz? what does have to not do, to not start

 

Chelsea ties it up. 1-1

 

What a move! Left Soucek grabbing for air.

 

thankfully Chukwuemeka's goal beat me to commenting on his prior shot

 

Seriously…and what isn’t Mudryk doing in training? Sterling = Havertz and Mudryk = Pulisic?

 

I think that Stirling is having one of his better games

 

He has gotten better since the start. That cross with two misses so bad they looked like dummies was comedy.

 

Don't y'all understand reverse psychology

Sterling is now looking very dangerous and very fast after a sloppy start where he turned over possession a few times with bad passes and crosses.

Mud looks ready to come in, hopefully Chuk has nothing serious

 

First half has a mixed bag. Looked good at times but had some bizarrely poor shots. Hopefully Chukey’s Chelsea initiation was his 1st goal and not a debilitating injury.

 

Wow deja vu! All the ball all the chances only one goal, West Ham only over half way a couple of times today one goal!

And of course another injury! They go down quicker than we can buy em!

It's almost unbelievable!

This kind of fortune can't go on for another whole season.......can it?

 

So lazy in the midfield. Were we just assuming we would eventually break through with all that pressure?

 

why is the fubo feed 2 minutes behind the match

I got a message Antonio scored 2 minutes before i saw it

 

hopefully he gets the next penalty kick to break the ice, should have a couple assists already today, he works so hard and moves well, defends well
