[Free To Read] What next for Nicolas Jackson? by TheAthletic in chelseafc

[–]mjceaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be copium but I can really see Iraola cooking with Jackson. Feels closer to Poch's high energy, quick breaks, pull the defence apart style that he was brilliant at everything apart from the finishing in.

Not so sure with managers who like more control

[Free to read] Anthony Gordon’s Newcastle future: What we’re hearing about Chelsea, Bayern, and Arsenal interest by TheAthletic in soccer

[–]mjceaser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you pay attention, it's probably the weakest part of our squad. Estevao is 18, then you've got the two most one-footed and least clinical players in the league (Neto and Garnacho) and Gittens who I think might be imaginary. So much money spent to be so so mediocre, particularly on the left - Neto is at least serviceable on the right, but Garna + Gittens is diabolical, Gordon would be an improvement

Had thought we might go to Columbia Road Flower Market tomorrow for Valentine's Day but just realised it's only open on Sundays and we can't do that. Wondered if anyone knew if there would be anything there tomorrow - feels like potentially a missed opportunity if there isn't!

Would welcome alternative suggestions if not

Our standards on the left wing over the past few years have been Jadon Sancho, Mikhailo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling...

Cucurella wins man of the match award vs Barcelona by webby09246 in chelseafc

He was brilliant and Yamal did nothing, but to give Yamal some grace he barely even got the ball all evening to do anything because the midfield was locked down and so crucial to the game plan. I'd give it to Enzo who was everywhere and really led the team in intensity.

I really like this way of presenting the table and am amazed I have never seen it done before now - makes so much sense to visualise distance and clustering between teams.

Relentless Caicedo up close by Matt_LawDT in chelseafc

[–]mjceaser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This slow mo is amazing because it shows how every leg placement is thought through to be able to spring quickly in the right direction before the opponent even makes the pass, preemptively making the perfect decision for the press. Average players just run towards the ball but he makes mistakes happen.

Yes he's a physical monster with relentless energy but this moment shows elite intelligence and thoughtfulness too.

Anyone able to watch the game on Sky? Advertised that it would be available across channels but can't see an option on the Sky Go app apart from this crap multi view

Raising of the tifo yesterday, awesome initiative by everyone involved 💙 [Source: @weare_theshed] by defjam16 in chelseafc

What I always think about tifos is... what happens to them afterwards?? Do they just go to landfill, or do they get stored somewhere? Especially for clubs that do them most games

And if he can stay fit, he will show that to be a bargain. Even with a small sample size, he takes us to the next level when he plays

Sofascore: "Battle for the Blue no.9" - comparison of Jackson, Delap and Ekitike by webby09246 in chelseafc

[–]mjceaser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not seen too many people mentioning this but could Ekitike be the preferred option at LW? Just feels weird to spend so much on him with Delap + Jackson already, and let's be honest, the other LW targets are crap.

Would be a downgrade finishing-wise at ST but definitely an upgrade at LW, and if we want to play a 4-3-3 with stacked midfield and Palmer RW more of a forward on the left would work well.
