Congratulations Guys

Thanks Naby gracious comments from a winning side.
We have to buck the trend and be patient.
Something we are really not known for.
He has started making bid decisions already and sticks with them, re Liuz, he in my opinions has been a loose canon for last 2 seasons and cost us quite a few games, but Lampard sees it and calls it and he's gone.
That fine by me. He will not get everything right, very young manager/coach , hate the word Coach but I digress.
Young manager = mistakes , but we have to temper that with patience, cannot say it enough

Chelsea played well last night. Pedro was a handful.

We were shocking. One of the worst performances in a while. I think our pre season has killed some of our players they looked shattered

TBone I was actually saying this on your board yesterday, I really did not think the game is that important and causes problems for teams so early in a season.
Now we have both had a hard game and even had to endure extra time and pens and all this well after midnight Turkey time.
I thought for a while you may have had a big problem with Van Dyke.
Hence what I said yesterday about possibly losing big players for a match like this,
But that is just my opinion

Completely agree. We are getting punished with a gruesome schedule for doing well. I’m December we are playing a game every 2.5 days I think it is.

That game should of been played in summer. We have a game at 3pm Saturday and only got one day to prepare

played well, only caught the first half of the united game but thought you played well in that aswell (bar the defensive errors)

Yeah but that doesn't negate the original point - both teams have had an extra game to fit in at a point in the season when fitness is an issue.

As it happens I would have preferred Chelsea's schedule because 3 pts at the weekend is more important to me than the Super Cup but neither club has had the best preparation for the weekend.

We also played an extra 2 weeks after the season finished and our front 3 were all playing international football until 10 days ago. We have played way more than anyone so that 2 days is nothing

For a meaningless game it was quite entertaining well done both teams.

Compare utd v chelsea and lfc v chelsea.

A) pulisic. So much better than Barkley and gave real shape to Chelsea attack.
B) giroud, more able to hold up ball and compete.
C) Kante.
D) Kante.
E) Kante.

If Utd met the Chelsea we met they'd not have won that game 4-0. Oh zouma would still brain fart the game away but I think it's have been much closer.

Fair play to Utd for grinding them to paste second half though.

Chelsea to be there or thereabouts.

I'm seeing a dog fight If we can't improve coming. We should be able to but the fixture crunch before and after Christmas is scary. We look so tired now 1 game in!!
