That was not Vaclic in the lineup for photos (unless he’s had some facelift or something)
Alfonso debuting, okay, well throw him in there!
Goal for Chelsea.
It’s only 7 minutes in but I have a complaint. YEN is the fastest player in la liga, clocking in at 38.9 km/hr which is 2 more than any other player.
Sevilla don’t seem to have much interest in going upfield, would it occur to any of them to put out the occasional long ball to alert Chelsea that we have potential to do damage and they should be more careful ?
Uggg
WTF? No handball?
Has everyone noticed how VAR images have become so rationed recently?
No Yellow?
Ref stops the play when Idrissi has space for a flop by Havertz “head injury”.
Not the first time Nesyri, tries a half line shot. So worthless. wasted opportunity for a break.
Another hand ball?
Why didn’t Oscar take the free kick?
I don´t like any of the claims, the hand touches are extremely light, and there is no danger or pressure on the ball, its not limiting anything.
Idressi with the hip check. Def yellow there
Boys look good, just need to find the final touch.
Good header by Rekik, setting up a volley from Rakitic high and wide.
How do we feel about Alfonso’s performance? Hell of a stage for the kid, Champions League against Chelsea…
Alfonso looking better with his feet and more calm then the one he is substituting for. The goal was not a problem either. A save with his feet, straight at him as well.
Good performance so far.
I think it´s all in Chelsea´s hands. They played well at the start, got the lead, and they have what they want and are more than happy to let us have some fruitless possesion and we are struggling to make real plays. Few chances came, like the set pieces but no actual danger yet.
We can easily get into the game as it is, curious what Lope is thinking. De Jong and Munir for sure.
Also Mudo has been lacking, and i didn´t even expect anything. Yet he saved Rudigers header off the line so I guess thats worth a bit.
We grew into the game, but i agree with @Enrico, no real danger.
Best shot for us so far, What a goal that would have Been Nemanja bending it slightly over. Good attack on the right wing with Navas and Oscar.
