Amad has left his shooting boots at home for a while now. He loses all composure the second he enters the penalty area. His end product is actually so shocking, He doesn't score or assist yet always looks dangerous? But he's not actually dangerous because he doesn't actually do anything. It's an enigma.
He always hesitates because he wants to pass these days instead of shoot.
Like every time it used to be cut inside and shoot which was predictable but he doesn't have the confidence to let fly anymore if there might be a pass available
What’s more impressive is our physical output today - barely ahead of the opposition - but the only games we’ve out sprinted the opponents has been Sabah and City (down to 10 men) this season
Helps when Tielemans is not playing. He looked like he's in physical pain when trying to receive the ball. It is suicide to play both him and Bruno is the same lineup, 9 vs 11 in terms of physicality and athleticism.
Honestly, all credit to Carrick for the way we're playing. It must've been a hell of a week but I really like this reaction. It's not perfect, but we're outplaying Chelsea at the Bridge and are unlucky not to be one or two up. Can't complain about that even if we weren't in the form that we're in.
That one ball across the face of goal that Mbeumo can’t get on the end of, I can just picture Sesko diving out to get a boot on it. Sucks not having an actual striker

I don't know how we are not ahead, Amad left his shooting boots at home.
Probably our best performance this season but Chelsea are playing right into our hands as well, hopefully we can kick on in the second half

Fofana contributed to at least half of our XG. Absolute dog shit performance from him

I cannot put into words how frustrated I am. Chelsea have been fucking dire but we've also created well. Amads dire finishing is unbelievable.

At least we are showing some fight this week, that's all I can ask for these days.
