Frank, finally, put a solid line up on the pitch. My only gripe is that
he played Werner as a winger again. Other than that, the lineup was spot on,
and it should be the main starting 11.

Chilly Willy was man of the match. He really held down the flank, and attacked
with pace and quality. He scored the first goal, which was built up by Odoi and Abraham.

Zouma scored. Abraham and Havertz both drew penalties, which were scored by Jorginho.

The pivot of Jorginho and Kante really controlled the match. Seeing Kante boss the midfield like his days under Conte was good to see. . He broke up passes, and got the ball up the pitch. And Jorginho was the maestro, stringing passes along and providing service.

The backline of Azp-Silva-Zouma-chilly Willy was excellent. They kept CP’s attackers under control. I don’t think CP had a shot on goal for the entire match.

Mendy with the clean sheet.

Odoi came alive in the second half, and started beating his man to get balls into the box
Abraham was active for the entire match, but was unlucky with a header set up by Odoi.


Havertz and Werner were not good. Havertz did draw a penalty, and started the first few mins well, but after that he disappeared. He was in his natural CAM role, but he still appears to have problems with the physicality and speed of the league.

Werner is not playing in his right position and that’s on frank. He couldn’t get into the game, and was never on the ball.

Moving forward, Werner needs to be the top striker, and sub Tammy in. We will be even more dynamic with that set up.

Pulisic came in later, but the game was way out of reach , and Chelsea didnt need to attack anymore. His movement appeared to be healthy, so that’s a plus.

Great way to go into the international break. 4-0, Chelsea

And Mount and James didn’t see one minute! Good!

This should have been our lineup last week, so ,hopefully, frank is done
with starting Mount and Reece. ...and if he has to play Mount , play him in the CAM role.
