Goal. Newcastle. Woltemade.

2-0.

#INGAME

We had the same challenge against a highly pressing Bayern ,Leeds and Qarabag... Crazy

We're losing every single aerial duel, we can't get out of our own half.

#INGAME

If I were Maresca I'd go with midfield stabilization in the second half while still maintaining an attacking threat.

Pull out Joao Pedro for Enzo and push Palmer in the Left half space( not full wing hugging)

#INGAME

Palmer is the other culprit in this match

The 1.97 non-penalty xG that Chelsea conceded in the opening 45 minutes is their most in a Premier League first half since December 2023 against Manchester United (2.15).

Palmer can’t handle the physicality in the middle, i’ve said this many times

The Question should be why we are still playing like amatures. We've had challenges with pressing teams before. Even the poorest of the poorest teams as long as they press hard. All this time we haven't learnt to manage pressure!!!

So if we can't perform against pressing teams and against low blocks, who are we planning to perform against?

#INGAME

Die on our feet standing than on our knees begging. That's been the spirit of the second half. What a come back

That's some play from Joao Pedro

Wow,,,

Reece James what a beast

Palmer RW drifting inside the pitch and Palmer as a CAM aren’t the same. i would make a thread soon on why he struggles because of his physicality

Imagine Palmer where Neto was receiving the ball today. All those bad decision making would have been different with Palmer
