#PREMATCH

I think Maresca had had enough of Jackson's antics only that he did not have better alternatives.

Jackson now needs to work on his character and his finishing. He should take this positively and improve. He already has 70% of the tools to be successful. He only needs to work on the 30%.

Almost everyone in this team had a fair share of benching last season that forced them to improve. He enjoyed the lack of better attack options.

Or he can choose to throw tantrums, do silly interviews or ask for a transfer (most likely)

The truth is Jackson cannot score such a goal

It's Crazy how Nkunku is working today, he is all over🤔

#INGAME

That should be a warning to get the second goal

Pedro Neto don’t introduce me into a vibe you can’t maintain. I’m being serious here

Madueke Nation it might be over i’m afraid

9 - Chelsea's last nine goals (excluding own goals) in the FIFA CWC have been scored by nine different players. Variety.

#INGAME

Another one that only a top finisher can take... Wow

Joao Pedro might be the quickest player to ever pay off his transfer fee. Chelsea could earn £22m from winning this match alone.

Man, Nkunku

Gusto has (rightly) come under a lot of fire but there is no denying that he improves Chelsea's counterpress and transition defence.

We may be running Fluminese rugged but it's one crazy low block we have ever faced.

I don't know how effective this Maresca's new system can be against an attacking team, but against parked buses, it topples them over

Cucurella now at 4900 minutes played for the season for Chelsea & Spain. Perhaps the only area in the squad that requires genuine depth.

We need a LB backup seriously
