That’s how you play when you know what’s at stake….
I was actually expecting a draw to be the best result Chelsea would get this afternoon.
But to my surprise, everybody came to the party, from the defence to the midfield and to the attack.
This is one of their best performance this season, had it been the boys were more clinical, the scoreline wouldn’t have been the same thing we have here.
Caicedo played the right back as if that has been his position from the womb, what more can I say about Chalobah and Colwill combination at the heart of defence, the last time I saw a perfect combo like that was over a decade(John Terry-Cahill combo).
Of course, as always Cucurella was on point, making the magic difficult for Salah to perform.
Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia performance at the midfield made me wish that the season is just starting and that Lavia has an injury free season.
Run, run, run Pedro Neto is coming, his pace was unmatched throughout the game, of course, he assisted Enzo’s opener early into the game.
Even if Palmer didn’t score today, I saw a Palmer that Chelsea had in the first half of the season, making those runs and turns, and the defence slicing passes, lad was on top of his game today.
This new Noni Madueke dey sweet my belle, I guess he is gradually growing into maturity.
And Jackson???? He tried his best before being replaced.
Coincidentally, the last time I wrote this much about Chelsea game was also against Liverpool, in the first half of the season.
Hope these boys are not turning Liverpool to a bitter rival overnight??
They are doing to Liverpool what is expected of them against Arsenal, Crystal palace, Fulham etc.
If they want to qualify for the Champions League, they still have more work to do.
