@cfcnxt@Matt_Law_DT Palmer and Estevao weren’t fit enough to play 120 mins. The game plan was sensible, although I would have introduced Palmer at HT. Chelsea have great recent history using pragmatic tactics in cup ties where big moments win the game… Barca semi-final (Torres) and ECL wins.
@cfcnxt@Matt_Law_DT I’m afraid we are inferior to this Arsenal team at the moment. If CP was fully fit and RJ was available, maybe we could have approached the game differently. On another night the ball might have dropped for us if Enzo could hit the target.
@MobyChe I’d like to see Reece James sitting in midfield as the anchor and dropping in to make a back three in possession. With Caicedo and Fernandez ahead of him with more licence to aggressively press central areas. Sack off inverted full backs and get them overlapping in tandem
@brendangrady11@dunn_outdoors@LBC@ReemAmirIbrahim I don’t comment on X often because people can’t talk respectfully to one another. For a moment I thought I was actually having an interesting conversation with someone but then you turned it sour.
@MobyChe I watch him warm up before games. He can’t strike the ball with his laces. Often the worst finisher in the group. For this reason alone I can’t ever see him amounting to a league-winning striker. Cash in now while stock is high.
@brendangrady11@dunn_outdoors@LBC@ReemAmirIbrahim For a new graduate in London, average income after tax is £2.3k. Room in the rough part of town £1k. Utilities & council tax approx £250. Now factor in crime/safety & the state of public services. That’s why young people are giving Dubai a shot. Don’t blame them really.
@brendangrady11@dunn_outdoors@LBC@ReemAmirIbrahim My sister has been there for 12 years and is raising a family. I’ve visited many times. I was merely pointing out what draws Brits to emigrate. Both economic systems have drawbacks but IMO you’re getting more bang for your buck in Dubai. Quality of life and safety is incomparable
