𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒:

✍️ by pulkitdhanava

STARTING XI:

Jorgensen - 5: Was sloppy a few times when claiming crosses, decent with his feet though, didn’t have to make any extraordinary saves. Kept a clean sheet.

James - 7.5: Good to have the captain, solid 45 minutes defensively, with pinpoint crossing on display.

Tosin - 9 (MOTM): Two from centre-back, with his first goal breaking the deadlock, nothing much to do defensively, was solid in covering wide spaces during counter attacks.

Disasi - 6.5: Should’ve at least scored one goal from James’ crosses. Was a bit abrupt passing wise when trying to find the attackers in the first half. Cleared a goal off the line towards the end to maintain the clean sheet.

Viega - 6.5: Kept the ball moving throughout although lacked a bit in terms of urgency in the first half. Nice dummy for Tosin’s second goal.

Lavia - 7: Perfect game for him to get minutes and fitness back as there wasn’t much involvement from the opposition’s midfield.

George - 8.5: Impressive game. Always looked to take on the full-back, one of his most positive and attacking games of the season. Grabbed two assists.

Nkunku - 6: Had a horrid first half where he wasn’t really getting involved in the build up. Made up for his penalty miss with the second half goal, and was more involved in the latter half of the game when he was dropping deep to receive and link up play.

Felix - 8: Had good link- up with George in the first half, with both the goals well taken.

Neto - 7: Had a productive first half, was pretty much alone on the right hand side going forward.

Guiu - 6.5: Wasn’t involved in the game as much, dropped deep in the second half at times to drag the central defenders forward. Just had one solid chance in the first half which hit the side netting.

SUBSTITUTES:

Gusto - 6.5: Kept the ball ticking on the right-hand side with sharp give-and-go exchanges. Was called upon defensively at times which he perfectly handled.

Cucurella - 7.5: Brought energy and urgency into the team.

Sancho 7 - Provides a different kind of outlet on the right side, was flashy and crisp with his dribbling.

Enzo Maresca on Chelsea’s 5-0 win over Morecambe [H] in the FA Cup third round:

🤝 “It was a good afternoon in terms of we won, which is important, and the performance in these types of games is about showing how serious and professional you are and once again the players showed that.“

🚀 𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐲𝐨 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞-𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝟐𝟓-𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐫:

“It was a picture of the game as most of the time he was the only one with that amount of space because all the rest, they were man-to-man around the box so he was the one who could carry the ball and try that option so we are happy for him.

“He can do that but as a central defender you struggle to see them on the edge of the box attacking. But when you arrive there, we have to try that type of solution.

“Also, Axel Disasi tried a few times so that shows our central defenders were on the edge of their box and that is a good thing.”

💫 𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞’𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞:

“Tyrique was good.

“Tyrique is doing well for us. He has already played some games for us in the Conference League. He is the same age as Josh Acheampong so is very young but hopefully we can give them more chances and they can become an important part of this team.”

🤒 𝐎𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐧𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐞𝐤𝐞’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐝:

“Yesterday he didn’t finish the session because he was unwell. This is the reason why.”

Nicolas Jackson on his nicknames growing up:

“I had a lot, Jacko, Nicks, CR7, Neymar, they (Neymar, Ronaldo) were my idols growing up”

(Premier League)

Chelsea are interested in signing Yeremay Hernández from Deportivo de La Coruña and have made him an offer.

Talks have been ongoing for some time and the Blues have been insistent on signing the 22-year-old winger.

Two clubs in Italy and Germany are also interested.

Yeremay has a €20 million release clause.

- Chelsea get linked to a random player
- I quickly open my Sofascore app to check up his statistics 😂

João Félix: “I try to enjoy every time I’m on the pitch, whether it’s one minute, five minutes, or 90 minutes.

I played 90 minutes and I’m happy with that. I tried to do my best and help the team. The only way to do it is to keep working, and when they need me, I will be there to help the team.”

Hazard on Palmer scoring penalties

People mock Palmer for scoring penalties but it’s not as easy as it looks. Haaland, Salah & Odegaard have all missed on this season.

Thoughts on the draw?

Renato Veiga wants to leave Chelsea to join @Borussia_Dortmund. He wants to play CB, his favourite position where he didn’t have space in the Premier League so far. Chelsea haven’t given green light yet.

(Fabrizio Romano)

🚨 Chelsea value Veiga at more than £20m and could look at signing a back up left back should he leave.

🚨 Veiga is thought to be keen to cement his 2026 World Cup spot with Portugal and may feel he has a better chance to do that away from Chelsea. (Matt Law)

He always said we were ‘the’ club and this is his home, never trust pro footballers guys
