Pulisic starts the match on the bench as Lampard choose to rotate part of the squad for Chelsea. Solskjaer has done the same for Manchester United.
Dumb thing to say from Lampard in every way. He comes on and looks great he opens himself up to speculation he was just lying to justify rotation. He comes on and gets hurt he opens himself up to criticism he shouldn't have even been out there. And he throws Pulisic under the bus with those comments regardless in the yes of the Chelsea fans. Dumb dumb dumb.
Still, I think Chelsea hasn't looked that bad. They are playing with compusure at least. I can't help but think that things feel less wobbly in back with this goalkeeper over Kepa...
They’ve held the ball well but not really dangerous. Not many ideas other than pump it into Giroud, who hasn’t looked great himself.
Kepa is the worst keeper I think I have seen at this level. I don't know if he sucks through and through or he has just lost all confidence because I hadn't seen him before this year.
It's really amazing. He doesn't seem to check *any* of the boxes. I'm not sure what he's supposed to be good at.
I gotta think that's pretty ideal for them, considering how their relative forms. Holding a 0-0 until a late CP sub looks like their best chance to steal a win.
Giroud was sandwiched by 2 MU players who ended up colliding into each other with their heads as Giroud slipped out.
