Couldn’t watch it so kept updated on my phone. I suppose we started brightly but the red card probably changed the game. Would’ve liked Rekik to start the game in place of Gomez but oh well.
Only thing which irked me is why start Navas, guy has started almost every game over the International break, and was listed as a doubt for this one, he’s also the only available senior right back for the CL yet still has to start the game and see it to the finish, worst part is Sevilla lost which makes this an even worse decision in hindsight. Vidal could’ve gotten run out and some first team football under his belt, he will be needed to play with the congested schedule.
Chelsea went two up against Southampton before giving all back, then scored through Havertz only to lose to a last gasp strike for a 3-3 draw. If Kepa starts Sevilla have a chance but Werner and Havertz have started gaining form along with Pulisic and Ziyech coming back into the fold. Sevilla have to make things count offensively and defensively especially with Kounde out.
