Jackson’s first goal from outside the box. Decent half with some good pressure, glad we got the goal otherwise would feel like an our normal script.
Had to have it and held on. Good win. Nice to win first and watch how the rest of the weekend unfolds
Injury issues aside, I’m really not seeing it with him. The book was good athlete and dribbler for a midfielder that was getting big premier league minutes super young at Southampton but the positioning is still a mess defensively and he’s a subpar passer. No clue if Reece to CM is permanent but if it is and Santos is kept around I don’t see where he plays.
he looked good today especially considering the layoff. Clear difference maker is he can just stay healthy finally
We finally have a front of shirt sponsor: Dubai-based Damac Properties. Will not carry over to the CWC.
No? I thought with the 5th spot, if an auto-bid goes to someone outside the top 5, it would just be top 4.
Nope, they did away with that nonsense (although very funny our 2012 win cost Spurs a spot). There can be up to 7 EPL participants in UCL now.
Didn’t think he did a great job last week but today he’s been terrific. Positioning much better (which seems super challenging in this system) and his progressive passing is starting to match the dribbling.
I’ve always said Crystal Palace is a world class club and all of their supporters are wonderful people.
Deserved imo. Was an absolute beast after shifting back into the midfield from FB in the last 15 or so.
I like it too. I just wish they would give us a blue jersey without some high school senior's digital art project in the background.
After this year's debacle of a kit this is a huge improvement. Normal Chelsea colors colours, badge isn't weird. Will probably buy a real one. The last one I bought was the one with a bunch of yellow. Getting a wee bit tight.
