the pictures are whatever. it's a new camera (i literally got it in the mail 3 hours before kick off) so i'm still getting used to it. all the settings (including picture control) are in default including the shitty 18-55mm stock lens
Hartford recap: Illicic looked sharp. Ready for season to start. Bernardeschi - looks like he has the talent to be a star. Baba - I like him, but he struggled a bit last night. Keeper - no idea who he is, but he did well. Back 4 looked solid most of the night, a few times a bit shakey. 15,760 more or less - 12k at least were wearing red. I thought I was in Lisbon at some points.
Is the Sepe deal a straight loan, or is there an option to buy? I figured we brought him in to back up Tata - glad to hear he is playing well.
Goal Gonzalo! Cleaning up after an Alonso shot. Vecino also hit the bar from a screaming shot a few minutes earlier
Chelsea 0-1 Fiorentina at HT. Gilberto looks promising, played in a wingback position and was involved in a number of attacks. Looks like he's already well integrated with the team. Matias and Gonzalo were fantastic as well.
He's been poor, got subbed off 5 minutes ago. Commentators said he's looked poor since joining Chelsea
Something interesting to note: when Gonzalo was taken off and Pasqual came on, Alonso was moved to a CB position and he's looked decent
Tomovic is a pretty good cb, they say. It's hard to imagine Roncaglia as a cb but he's played there a few times this summer.
In unrelated news, Vargas' contract expired this past July and we didn't renew. He's currently a free agent. I had no idea
Sepe has been worrying. Not comfortable on the ball with his feet. He's reaction saves are good though Zouma absolutely destroyed Bagadur with a flying challenge. Joaquin and Matic wanted to brawl. Yellows all around
Hard fought win, we were on the back leg for most of the second half and the defence held up well. I'm confident in our abilities.
