Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - New season, same old United

I think the idea from Tuchel is that City's defenders will be occupied with keeping Lukaku under wraps. Meanwhile, Ziyech and Pulisic can attack the space between the CBs and FBs. Chelsea's fullbacks can then overload

However that's contingent on a lot of things going right for Chelsea. First, will they be able to keep the ball well enough to hurt City in transition?

The idea is to go long because of the City press but Lukaku is showing he isn't capable of decent hold up play. Good for nothing oversized joker incapable of doing the basics.

I dont think Broja is ready to lead the Chelsea line but he seems a better fit

They would have been better off just playing Broja and saving the money for this summer.

Tuchel has lost his shyt watching it play out right in front of him. They'll be even worse this half with Tuchel not being able to shout directly at them.

Tammy would have scored that.

Don't know what Tuchel said during the halftime teamtalk, but it seems to be working. Better take advantage before Citeh gain control of the game once again..

Ziyech slow as fukk.

I know Walker is fast but he had the head start
