Corvinus85 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I watched Chelsea hang on by a thread against a well organized and aggressive Sevilla, waiting for the defense to fuck up. They didn't and Mendy looked confident in goal, so despite the result, I'll call that a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the defense did well, and in particular against set pieces. Chillwell is growing on me. a force going forward and solid defensively. Had a couple good bust ups in our 18. Mount musta caught Lampard sleeping with his mom or something. Can't understand why Lampard insists on playing him at left wing in a 4231. Not only is he out of his position but that puts Pulisic on his off wing. I'll take the draw against Sevilla. They're a tough side. ETA: Absolutely wild that Cech has been rostered as an emergency Keeper. I kinda love it, hope I never have to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 In response to the asset stripping and shady business with Jorge Mendes, Valencia fans have taken to hiring a mariachi band to follow board members around, specifically CEO Anil Murthy, and sing protest songs to them.

Mendy managed to make that quick adjustment when the ball was deflected of Sevilla's set piece, which I'm not sure Kepa would have been able to. But it was mostly Mendy's ball playing that gave me confidence. I was not worried that he was going to gift the ball to an adversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hakimi has tested positive for Covid-19. Bayern's game against Atleti will go ahead after the rest of the team tested negative. A much more serious situation developing at Shakhtar - 19 positive tests including 10 first teamers but due to Uefa regulations they are not allowed to request a postponement due to having 13 players including a GK available to play.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to play Napoli but have 13 players out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in the same boat. As I understand, local authorities can still prohibit the game from taking place but there's no indication of any intention to do that.

Soylent Brown Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 10 minutes in and Firmino has been sloppy with his passing every time he's had it. Just fucking drop the cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 And I know it's a crazy idea, but maybe we should try not to fuck around at the back too much, given that Adrian is shit? Has anyone thought to suggest that? It doesn't seem the Klopp has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soylent Brown Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Bizarre goal. Mane, who has been piss poor so far, turns a defender and fucks his shot up so badly that it tricks a defender into putting it in his own net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
