This dynamic changes every game.. it's tough, imo. Giroud comes in, scores 4 against Villa, goes cold, Tammy comes in, looks pretty garbo then snags goals then it looks like Giroud should come in then repeat. What it really says is neither is "the" solution.
It would be nice to see this. The team would have to become way less cross heavy though and really start looking to penetrate through the middle.
My preferred front 3 would be Pulisic - Timo - Ziyech yet to happen, but looking forward to seeing it That said the team today should be good enough to win. On paper. Sending the team and Frank some positive vibes. Substitutes 1Arrizabalaga 6Thiago Silva 9Abraham 11Werner 14Tomori 17Kovacic 23Gilmour 29Havertz 33Emerson
Not too optimistic about this, but hey that's power for the course for a Chelsea supporter. Not happy about Christensen and Jorginho but come on you blues
Everton v City called off because of Covid, makes me think....if Chelsea lose this it might just be Covid that saves Lampard his job!? :-D
10 minutes in, villa look buoyant and more likely to control midfield already. we like giving the ball away.
Seems that way to me. We have no midfield for reasons which, for the life of me, I just cannot put together.
What do you expect? How well do Villa actually have to do until you start treating them with the respect they deserve? I don't think there are many 'tougher' games in the Premier League right now!
goodness pulisic could have had 2 goals now. everything good runs through him. seem to be getting control now. lets not waste.
