Perfect minutes silence even the chavs were behaved

 

[FoxForceFive]

Started quickly, certainly showed our intent from the kick off there.

1-1 my head says Energise my heart says... =

 

[hmmmmm1]

This is it, need points to keep the pressure on. Just need to be calm

 

[Mystic]

We've started fast, good.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Yep. We have the better team, the better players, & the better record this season, if we stay calm & play our game it should be fine, if we play the occasion or importance then we'll come unstuck.

 

[Mystic]

They've started quite aggressively, would like to see Fabinho (in the absence of Milner) chop one of them in half.

 

[FoxForceFive]

The crowd in very strong voice today.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Chance for salah, should have scored

 

[Shadey]

There will be blood goals.

 

[Mystic]

Good play, unlucky for Salah.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Salah scoffs the shot, he wasn’t very calm there

 

[SummerOnions]

Interesting how we keep playing it back 10 yards when we win it and then press up again

 

[SummerOnions]

Into these rent boys

 

[FoxForceFive]

They really don't look comfortable at all when we're stretching them down their right side. They can't cope with Fabinho, Keita, & Mane running at them.

 

[Markeh]

Henderson doing a proper Stevie impression today, I'd be surprised if we see a smile

 

[hmmmmm1]

Taa needs to step it up. Sloppy start

 

[FoxForceFive]

Interesting how we keep playing it back 10 yards when we win it and then press up again

It's a way of stopping them playing a straight back line & us running out of room to play, we drop, one or two of their men have to move to cover which opens up space. They could combat it by moving up together (which is how we combat that usually), but it leaves a risk of being caught out for pace if a through ball is well timed.

Fabinho with a great tackle, Hazard making a meal of it.

 

[Mystic]

Perfect, cheers Fabinho.

 

[SummerOnions]

Great tackle there lad

 

[hmmmmm1]

Great play fab, strong tackle

 

[Hansern]

Aziplicunta is massive twat

 

[Markeh]

This is a bonus if he's injured

 

[doctor_mac]

Fuck all wrong with Hazard.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Oh look, the limp went after five seconds. Shock.

 

[Markeh]

Aziplicunta is massive twat

To be fair, I'd be alright with him if he was our twat

 

[FoxForceFive]

Played by Allison knocking that cross away.

 

[Mystic]

Hazard trying to slow the game with his injury stoppage, smart.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Better from taa. Needs to be on his toes
