Chelsea vs LAFC (CWC) Mon 16th June 20:00 GMT

[Scott Harris]

Miserable bunch aren't we

Delap nowhere near as good as Jackson (when he played his first games for us in the USA)

It's Maresca. He makes watching us a chore, even when we win.

 

[General]

Why can't Maresca adapt to the players he has? The style of football he wants them playing doesn't suit them, so why doesn't he come up with something different?

Scott I’m assuming this is rhetorical so won’t get into specifics

 

[Drogba1]

Delap hasn't looked like an upgrade on Jackson so far, still early days though

If Arsenal snap up the likes of Gyokeres/Osimhen we might regret it

 

[dermott]

@nonotnowjim has asked me to say that no-one should try to contact him under any circumstances tomorrow morning.

He is booked in at his local tattoo parlour Inkcognito to get a "Delap ... Proper Centre-forward" tattoo between his legs.

Fixed.

 

[Sconnie Blue]

“Superior player of the match”.

That’s a f**king first.

 

[Scott Harris]

Scott I’m assuming this is rhetorical so won’t get into specifics

Yes

 

[Deino]

That was a cracking shot from Neto

 

[WhiteWall]

He's also looked fine for France recently, used by Deschamps as a traditional overlapping full back, which, of course, is what he is !

I just think he is so weak and so limited in ability in so many areas.

 

[bisright1]

Can't say I blame him, the owners will be putting pressure on him given the amount of money Fifa are throwing at it, think the winner gets £30m

*it's 30m just for winning the final. We'd be getting 100m or so in total if we won it.

We just won £1.4m tonight alone.

Mareaca doesn't need pressure from the top. He knows how valuable this is.

 

[timetowaste]

Did the job, hopefully next game we see some rotation with the starters.

 

[Deino]

“Superior player of the match”.

That’s a f**king first.

Trying to reinvent the wheel basically

 

[DarkMata]

Fixed.

Haha I thought that’s was what he was going to say. Was going to replay - dont think he’s got enough room for all that.

 

[evissy]

“Superior player of the match”.

That’s a f**king first.

So who was it?

 

[Deino]

Essugo must be great in training if he gets the nod ahead of Santos

 

[Sexyfootball]

I just think he is so weak and so limited in ability in so many areas.

Personally I'd like to see Acheampong get Gusto's opportunities at right back, when we're not going to play James. I see a lot more upside with Josh than Malo

 

[DarkMata]

Bet PSG and Bayern are sh*tting themselves

 

[charierre]

Standard win against a limited opponent

Neto had a very good game

Nice assist from Delap, good to see our new recruit making sensible runs… he’ll be a handful

Referee was a bit fussy

3 points

 

[dermott]

He wasn't until Maresca turned up. Promising young RB/RWB now forced into a role to which he's not suited.

This.

 

[Sconnie Blue]

Job done I suppose.

Nothing to say what we don’t already know. Unless there’s a lot of space to move into we find it difficult to break through stubborn defenses. Our wingers lack a lot of quality relative to other top clubs.

Colwill MOTM for me.

 

[strider6004]

I saw the 2nd half.

Nice to see us win by two though wondered if they might have got a penalty.

Thought the young Venezuelan should have seen Red,

Delap looks a little too physical as I predicted though also showed some skill.

Enzo took his goal superbly.

Neto, Caicedo and Cucurella stood out for me,
