Just brilliant. What a half of football against a very stubborn and tough Chelsea side. We worked so hard, into them, and had quality all over the park.
I will limit the love to two players at this stage, but they all deserve it.
Bradley… wow! This lad is a baller. He can play, and he can finish too! Superb, smashed across the goalie to the bottom corner.
Darwin Nunez - this lad is a supreme baller. Up for it from the off. Shots firing in, laden with threat, showing for the ball, occupying defenders, stretching the play. He has had a fantastic half and there’s no way we should let the nay-sayer stick their oar in to say otherwise.
Ok, the penalty didn’t go in. Hit so well. So good, just 1cm off. Had he hit it 10% less it sails in, unsavable. But it is what it is.
I’m backing him to score in front of the Kop and feel the love.
We need to keep this up in the second half. If Chelsea score first it could get nervy. If we add a third we are floating.
Ale definately stronger than it should be. Bottom full of yeast. Yupp, yupp. Going to store those beutiful bastards for longer than expiry date from now on.
Personally, I think a power penalty doesn’t need precision. You can sacrifice power and go for near the post, or go for power and play the percentages by not going so far wide.
Jota makes the game look so easy at times. Intricate passing, technical strategic setups, intense defensive drills… fuck that just run straight at them and knock it in from 10 yards out.
