Chelsea vs Tottenham Full Match 1st Half Replay

Thanks Joe, good night everyone, here we go, we're only a couple of weeks away from the start of the Premier League season but this almost feels like a Premier League night. It's great to have people back inside Stamford Bridge as it should be. Wasn't the atmosphere created wonder

full

y by the presentation of the Champions League trophy to those who were here tonight before the start of Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur and then the second

match

of the series mental for the Blues after the victory in the Arsenal on Sunday? Just the start of the Premier League season but of course the European Super Cup final on Wednesday next week.

The Clive Walker club next to me takes a bit of getting used to having people around us at the top of the stands. There sure is a lot of noise. It's fabulous, Matt, isn't it? And through it all, you know we've been waiting for this opportunity to get the fans back in and you know we haven't even started yet, but what a difference they've made. and i have been sitting here for the last hour smiling at the way they reacted to the players coming out to the pits for warm up and not just the presentation of course of the european cup and all the details that come with being in the game.

The fans loved it. You can listen to them now. They haven't stopped. Let's hope this continues throughout the Premier League season. I know we have some quiet moments, but you know what I think. The fans are very happy to be back, this is what it's all about and it means a lot to the players and brings a different intensity to a pre-season friendly. We saw that at arsenal on sunday also kante and eric gaia led their respective teams. the teams come out well it has been a long time since there has been this huge disparity between

chelsea

and

tottenham

hotspur

chelsea

the european champions

tottenham

hoping to find their way into the european conference league chelsea perfectly harmonious one of the best coaches of the world team packed with talent with much more to come, but tonight is about celebration, it's about building fitness, it's about preparing for what's to come over the next nine months, the Chelsea squad are quite familiar who started with arsenal on sunday if you were with us for that game the same three defenders the same three forwards two marcus alonso replaces christian pulisic at left back and golo kante starts and where is the captain's armband two instead of Calum Hudson and Deut have looked for more opportunities to impress for Trevor Chalobah really good so far, but as Kyla Kunichini said before kick-off, this is a different level playing at Stamford Bridge.

Spurs give him something of a Luigi Gallini-level debut in goal. He is in line with an option to buy from Atalanta, having previously been at Man United and Aston Villa. Also, Oliver skips someone. They have high hopes for this season as he played for Norwich in the Championship last season. Dele Alli has had a good pre-season so far, as has Lucas Mora who scored a couple of goals, but of course there is one very notable one. absent from Tottenham team sheet still no Harry Kane back training their bench there for a lot of young players in it Chelsea have a bit more depth I'm sure we'll see a lot of those players as the night goes on , once again those who were returning late from the euros not involved tonight the likes of Mount James Chilwell georginio emma santiago silvery dove deep into the copper america two chelsea getting ever closer to having a

complement available and I would assume that will be the case in Northern Ireland next week, but tonight the focus is on the London derby.

The most important year of the night increases when the name Kai Haber is mentioned. He scored a great goal at the Emirates on Saturday and they scored an even better one in Portugal at the end of May, so it's going to be. tottenham, who will start the

match

by kicking towards matthew harding's stand in the first

half

, it has been confirmed this week that players will continue to kneel before premier league matches this season and, in fact, that is what they do here to receive applause. Stamford Bridge, which is fantastic, hearing what you're looking for. Clive in this game.

It's hard to show much progress since Sunday. I suppose it was as quick as the change, but are you looking for signs of tactical ideas coming together or is it purely a physical exercise. I think I'm so excited I was drowning. Fitness, of course, we always talk about that, but I think it's also technique, skill and awareness of the players around you and just linking things together. I mean, I think we just need to go back. get up to speed as quickly as possible, get the players fit as quickly as possible and start winning games to give confidence, so nothing beats beating Tottenham for me.

Here's Marcos Alonso, who recovered tomorrow, but quickly turned around to cover for Chich Moore who didn't let up. up but pogba chichi merged with the ball look to feed it to verna good idea just too much and an early feel of the ball for Tottenham's new goalkeeper Gellini yeah I'm just trying to pass it for Werner to run in he. with his pace, which we know he has in abundance, here's the son, more pressure on him this season, I guess if Harry Kane isn't going to be there, it wasn't a particularly safe first touch if Cinderelly played at right back and started at the left at Arsenal.

Sunday, yes, what we need is for Chelsea to take control of football, which they are trying at the moment. Good pressure from Tottenham. Good morning from Verner. The clicking could get in the way. The referee said there was no push on Tim's back. verna, that's interesting, the referee was quite far away from the play on verna, but again he used his place to get between the two central defenders, so good that it's just a matter of finding him and moving the ball forward faster for me, I think Yes I see that. vernon makes that type of run that he did all last season there is a challenge from behind he falls receives a free kick that he made he made those runs all season I think it's just an understanding that was missing and we saw him run offside so many times just Half the time you say: can you stay outside?

Well, sometimes you can see it before. You know there is someone. I wonder if the players have been working on that during training. I'm sure it is because I think if I can find it sooner it's a title to escape and score goals uh the referee by the way is Keith Stroud he's usually a football league referee. Spurs have been playing against Football League teams in their pre-season preparations so far, they have yet to play against Arsenal. in this series, but facing colchester and mk dons and lake norian so far, yes, it is purely a matter of fitness, right?

I think we would understand, but from this position, now the season is very, very close, you know it's going to be uh. It's important that they step up, but can we confront them now and force them to make a lot of mistakes? There's Lucas Moore away from coverage, change of coverage, loaded on the left side for Burgundy, now he can find space for a shot that he made, it was deflected and that's what he did. It was a good save from Mendy to push him back into the first corner of the night. Now the first question for Mendy is right, right?

I think he is going slightly to the left, his body weight was on the right side, going in one direction, but he has reacted. Well, I found him around the post, he didn't have much power because the deflection just takes away the power, but this is not enough unless Mandy Dele Allis posed a threat to Chelsea from these types of positions before the good record against the Chelsea away Delhi. an arm in the air of the song meant it was near the post towards boyberg, but it was habits that gave the first touch, damn against Hudson Studs, I think he's unlucky, Caleb, I think he makes contact with the ball, you know , is not the best defender.

We know that the timing of his challenge is not going to be great. I think most of it was done by Bergwein, but having said that he contacted the player and you understand that the monster occurs, it is a better angle this time. For some, I don't think his corner was particularly good, but this is a great position for Tottenham. A bad delivery, but it was Marcos Alonso who found himself in the first burg, one trying to keep him alive. Hudson loved it, he pinched it and now Ziyash can make Verna run. and Deuter's son there with him managed to recover the cut, but only jumped enough to discourage him.

Yeah, I'm just wondering if Verna maybe should have gone on goal there. I think he is initially in a good position, but the second touch is on him. He took it a little wide and I think in that situation he probably tried to do the right thing but he didn't get good contact with the ball. Here's Matt Dougherty. Will hope Nunu Espirito Santo revives his career with Spurs and then got Looking at Jose Mourinho last season but will stop as he played for Nuno at Walls yeah kind of strange wasn't it for dr t because at times he felt that It was probably a good shoe for them, I think, because of the way they played, but wasn't it?

It seems that there are not games with enough regularity to order it and impose a position, but yes, you are right, I mean he played for Walter, very well known, maybe the right kind of coach to get the best out of him. Interesting, also, we are seeing two. movena players that more central role in kai havers on the left side here's bergwein looking for a song it was from zuma no foul by either of them oh, he picked up the loose ball alonzo is trying to force it open and he did it he's a goalkeeper Well, six and two triples could have gone either way, so I think it was an extra touch from Alonso, but possibly the assistant referee will know that possibly his body weight or his left foot was on the by line the last time he touched it, which is difficult to see. from the camera angle, but we'll make the decision anyway, I managed to get Chelsea

half

way through the throw, I think it's a good choice on Mandy's part, I mean, I think the ball that Zuma returned to her was a bit cautious, probably not the best ball. the goalkeeper would have wanted to but he handled it well there was a foul that time it is an interesting initial because the assistant referee does not give it and he is in the best position to give this decision to the referees at the wrong angle but it seems strange one I think the referee is probably sorry system referees look across the line maybe at the moment of contact he is looking for offside he made his debut for chelsea against spurs in the carabao cup at the top of my first stadium of the season past alonzo his own history with spurs of course that brilliant free kick at wembley in the premier league match stands out son afterwards, well he was about to say kante was dispossessed but he knew it was only a temporary thing , they are actually trying to get a kante very very quickly and close it good luck with that here it is ziesh goes to turn one and almost finds the top corner instead of the bottom level of the shed good game really good player and it's typical Chelsea, It is not like this?

Kante initially lost the ball, he recovers it and midway passes it to hudson o'doy, he defends his defender, he only goes one on one, he doesn't tighten enough and ziya just lies back in a deeper position, opens your body, try to bend it towards that. In the far upper corner perhaps is a vision of what is to come. Morris focuses on Berg. One might have hit his upper arm, but as the game continues, you can see work being done on the lower level of the Matthew Harding Stand, installing rail seats for those who would normally be housed there, uh just below , they are in the east end for tonight for one who Thomas Tuchel told us before the game has been at cobham since day one, Hakeem Ziyash and this man that Hudson adores, do you think he will stick around?

They are very useful for the start of the season, I think when we see Callum take those wide positions one on one, he first moves on to ZS and then takes on the reggae. You know he has to start getting over the people he's with. I'm going to start creating opportunities by receiving crosses in no better practice than a game like this to do that there it is again, but now Alonso comes in he wants to change, yes, there is one of those where Burner tries to get out of line and I in I actually don't. i think he doesn't think he needed it there he already has a player and in zs he doesn't need to run to the same position if he stays still callum will find him with the past i think that's what callum was looking for zs game he also sticks to his task, a couple of blocks come out for a goal kick at the end but again put pressure on the Spurs back line and Tanganga was struggling there, should have played it the first time, took a touch and gave us a chance to get there do not playin front of Chelsea fans too often, they look a little disjointed.

Tottenham, for me, you know, they know their players and have obviously seen them many times before, but as a team they look disjointed, I don't think. We're still in full flow, but I know we have that ability to play as a team. We've seen it before with similar players and formations, but for me, I'm struggling a bit right now. You're just trying to take the sting out of Chelsea's attack by holding on to the ball by turning it over rather cheaply, although it's unfortunate of Zuma, he tried to play the ball straight back to Tim Vernon, either he wasn't expecting it or maybe it was a bit. too hard for him, I think it's also good pressure on our part and I think we have to keep this up because certainly Tottenham seem indifferent and I think they are struggling to get their passes, we don't need to give them anything. type of drive, they will be good work for us, it is hard work to press and push up, stay as tight as possible to try to win the ball back. and I think the hard work will help us with our fitness levels.

You know there's a pretty decent Regulon run. He tried to run over, but Dele Alli doesn't even lift the ball off the ground. You know it's so big. poor ball and he was so indifferent that it was as if the lackluster had no purpose in the past and you know, I'm sure Nuno picked it up pretty quickly, well it's interesting because I probably shouldn't confess this but the TV commentator of the Spurs is a friend of mine and we were exchanging notes and he said that Delhi were looking very good so far in pre-season, so we have a bit of work to do. the cross from him the first time ze took it on his chest and was delhi doing it back, it's going to be a chelsea shot though yeah just a no it's just an alonso overpass isn't it?

I can have it? He was trying to make a little run in and out behind the Spurs backline and he was struggling to get the cross and it wasn't bad, it was decent, I guess in that position some would have said a header. It was probably better. choice, but we are seeing powerful headers of the ball here from quite a distance at an angle, he probably did the right thing by taking the touch, but it only gave nelly alley the chance to get the header from the challenging enzo from the center of the gates, while so much so, straight to Galini's gloves are off to a lively start almost after 15 minutes and have a bit more speed than your standard pre-season friend, just the way we want it and I'm sure the fans are enjoying it too.

Maura, his right man. putting trevor chaloba on bergwein just as he was about to pull the trigger yeah, that's a great starting point, isn't it? That's concentration for Trevor, too. Good challenge too with Verna making some space for him. Yes, she will go alone. A beautiful finish to put Chelsea ahead with 15 minutes on the clock. Oh, dare I say 15 minutes now and I'm going to look for an absolutely wonderful challenge. Luke Moore. I thought I might accept. he comes in about halfway, wins the ball brilliantly and I think when you do that as a midfield player he opens up the chances the burner makes a great run from left to right he just splits the defense it's up to zias if he makes the pass, he takes the shot well the gap was there he is with his strong left foot he takes the shot and he does it he does what a shot no chance for kalini hit in the corner by ziesh got some key goals last season hakeem ziesh can come out atletico madrid here's Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final and the Premier League here's one to get the party started.

I have to say it too. I think you know we often talk about the style and the way we play. We said. A lot of times last season when we won the ball in the middle and around the half we suddenly took off, it didn't always happen but we know we have players who can come into play at that stage. You know, Kanté wins ball coverage. Georgina, whoever. It is in that midfield, whatever, but if that ball is loose in that central circle, the three forwards react and that is what they have done, they have reacted from a loose ball, now it may not reach them, but It's the reaction you have.

As a midfielder, we look for the players in front of us to make the right decision and we have done that there and we have shown it again when we are at our best for me, that is when we are spectacular and when you see a goal at the end, you know, it is a pleasure to see him out of it, he came onto the pitch in Tucson rather than when you see a Tottenham team, players like Dele Alli who we just talked about, you know Spurs are doing a good attack there on the left flank .

We probably have three players on the edge of the penalty area, two in open positions, we win the ball and clear it about 40 meters from the field. There is Delhi Alley. Now back in the day, he was the guy you'd expect to make runs in and out. our back line is 40 yards from the play, you know, if you want to make a good impression as a player for a new coach, that's not the position, I think Dele Alli just needs to be waiting for support to come, he stepped back and said the door. He has space on the right side, if Kombach could have raised his head, he gave it to Ziesh instead of attacking, an offload for Alonso, a good cut of his habits for Verna, I don't think he would be expecting that team from the night to the morning, we always say you should.

I hope he said that, I guess I don't have to shoot here, Alonzo has done brilliantly, he got close to Vern, great little pass outside Verna, perfectly weighted, Alonso for the first time in Kaihab Sieng, the goalscorer in that one for Verna , If only. trying to clip him over the top, probably the right angle, he's too far down the field, there's the butt. I think probably a better option was Callum in a wider position, but again I tried to select Verner as he suggested before making those runs between the centre-backs. I would also have to say that if there is anything inside that has been completely taken out of Tottenham, they seem clueless at the moment to me, Tottenham are just making up the numbers.

I don't think it's for a club like the top and that's not it. Well, you know he's been standing still with his arms crossed in front of us for the first 20 minutes. Well, if I was here at this particular stage, I know that everyone has players that will come back here will look for space for a shot. team overnight blocked by gaia danger still not fast for spurs ziesh again oh my god, I almost found the other corner, he's unlucky, isn't he here? I think that's the kind of thing I'd like Habit Kai to do just now.

He said about taking the shot on the burner, he had a good block through diet. Zs closes the first time he doesn't take the shot, but he opens the gap to create another opportunity for himself. Hamlets can do that too and I would like to see him do that in tight areas because he is very good in those types of tight positions. Chelsea played very well in the first 20 minutes. Yeah, I mean, I don't know how the game will continue. Obviously, the trust is gone. moment for Tottenham and not only are they sitting deep as a back line, the midfielder is non-existent, so of course eventually the front line is not getting any decent quality going forward, so as a team They are not in the races at the moment, a great opportunity.

For us to get the most out of it, let's take advantage of one of its signature sliding challenges. Big challenge, isn't it? That's what we would expect from Kurt. So good in those moments. Really good. There is a wrong side for a long time with Lori in last place. season, but he was one of their standout players, he's still untested a couple of times he stepped in and made challenges, but he hopes to do it at this kind of level, so it's a good ball and another one for Vernon, no flag he saw now . He lifted it just as the ball went into the net.

This would be a difficult decision under normal circumstances. We'll have to think it's just the referee's decision in this case, but a great play again. The comment is that his password was dividing his career. He is on the side. close, that's a bad call, there are miles here and he finishes it well too, probably the earliest I've seen a flag raised, Matt, I don't know if we'll see that this season, well apparently he's one of the new ones. directives yes, they have learned some lessons from the euros, I think we needed to do it. I think he is becoming ridiculous at certain stages that her husband adored.

Hopefully that won't be a hangover from last season's Burner finding himself on the wrong end of offside calls. playing, keep it all in right now and just encouraging the Chelsea fans to get in line with every pass, which is right here, trying to slide into the burner again. I think it also encourages the players to continue with this Spain. They love to hear it and they are also waiting for that. mistake, but someone loses his rag, the Tottenham ranks and loses his position only to exploit it all the time he wanted to put it out, load it on Hudson or on the edge of the German burner of the box once he cut his way off Hudson and he's still going to stop for something. approaching contact but cue for a penalty, that's what I'm saying before that callum, although that's where he's going to exploit Reagan, he'll turn his back on him in a moment and as a winger that's what you do, you wait for that chance you wait for him you lose sight of the ball you move in a different direction and you've completely beaten him but he doesn't do it there calum give him plenty of time because obviously this is still pre-season a little sharpness doesn't fail once you get that first corner of the night, let's play from tanganga and we'll take it just enjoying possession at the moment, there's no real urgency other than trying to find guys like zia, she falls into that little hole between the lines I see.

I have to beat this great delivery, as well as a good opportunity for the second goal of the night. Tony Rooney focuses mainly on headers when it comes to goals. It was a good opportunity by his standards. It's a good opportunity, isn't it? I wonder if Kurt Zuma just ran across the line from him, maybe he took his eyes off the ball a little. That's when we talk about timing, although that comes with practice, so I'm not sure if there really was that much contact with the jumper there or if he just missed. his foot but the free kick went with the spurs.

I think you're right the first time he just fell over. In my opinion, it's a bad decision this time around, but you'll get them as the season progresses. I'm sure I mentioned it. keith stroud, the referee is normally a football league referee, if you ask fans of the championship teams he could give you a pretty strong opinion on his skills, here's Delhi approaching the half hour mark, that beautiful Hakeem Ziesh goal in 15 minutes, the difference between the teams Chelsea good for that reason also the best team in this opening 27 minutes or so 28 minutes this song is nice, take the one that will be remembered for the rest of your life.

It's fascinating to see how players like him will fare next season. and timon vernon, the difficulty they would have had adapting to life in a new country under the circumstances we were all living in, yes, those players who arrived last summer, we will be looking forward to having the fans back. I'm sure I've been able to see a little bit of the city they moved to and socialize and do the things we all took for granted. The opportunity for him with José Mourinho did not appear too much last season, although Andreas Christensen at all times. summer or looking for songs to feed, but too much into that just looking at a fun alley just doesn't look fit, I mean I guess it's getting in shape for the start of the season, but it's a long way from that actually , I'd be surprised if it lasts much longer than half time, he just doesn't have any movement at all, he almost plays like a left back with majestic blitzes over and over again, he suddenly started seven top league games last season, quite a dramatic drop, Aren't there all kinds of reasons why? that could be the case, but he was one of England's star men in the 2018 world cup, he was nowhere near the team for the euros.

Here is Ash Alonzo, a great striker in blue in this attack, breaking away from the left side to return it to Alonso. i could get there somehow i'm going to play that in the first half alonzo turns the corner again a good run from timo verna he'll make those runs all day and they're the ones we need to see a little more take control he doesn't give the ball away, which is nice seeing those little extras, I knew that was the best option. A fabulous touch did not fall on his shoulder. It's not the easiest. He does it very well.

Yes, the ball was coming when he got up. at full speed he just runs out of play, but hopefully Callum Hudson's footwork loves him and he got out of his area,but he was able to step back and wait for the ball to get to a position where he could grab it, yes, too straight, it's always difficult. exactly right, but for me it was more of a hope than anything else that the referee would stop the game right at the first touch. Here the ball just bounces slightly in the air and Negalong comes in and tries to win.

They both collapse into a group. and I wonder if the usual ones just landed on her hip or his thigh, maybe just a bruise from the contact. I think it would be a welcome point for luna espirito santo to be able to say a few words to his players because I think this when you're working with your team, you know a new coach would want to get his word across as quickly as possible, there's no better way to do that than when you're in the middle of a game in the middle of a different game for us, of course, that tackle and it started. everything was on target, but I still have a lot to do, of course, it's incredible the space they gave it, right?

When you talk about being organized, playing as a team, galloping, the type of player will win those challenges all day long and be coveted. Similarly, but to leave zias with so much space, you are going to ask questions: where was the midfield for Tottenham? Completely non-existent, a bit like Delhi Ali has been throughout the game, to be honest, you know, we talked about this being a pre-season is a fitness game. I think with the season so close, in my opinion, some of these Tottenham players are not as fit as they should be at this stage. We have Manchester City in the first weekend and that is a headline.

Writer's dream, given everything that's going on with the best captain right now, here he is, he really has it all over his game, it turns out he's looking to do it now, so yes he wanted it, we know he can shoot from here so scattered.they are closing quickly, she is waiting for someone to pull the trigger, isn't she? In the game you think about finding that best space and getting a header from Doherty just as Alonso was finishing the volley, it's a good header. where you expect him to be, that's his position, sort of position, alonzo would come in as a defending defensive player and would probably win the ball nine times out of ten, but just on that occasion, a pretty decent ball from Callum on this occasion is also Well.

He played Chelsea all year, yeah, it was a good career, wasn't it? For a change, you know he didn't have the ball at his feet, he plays a 1-2 and tries to put it behind. It looked like he was going to do it. win it, maybe the pass was too short for him, little things like that from Sultan you wonder, you know what they're going to do to change it, you know, just a forward ball clip for son, no chance against Zuma Ball. Overhead zoom will win it anyway, ball runs three, Chelsea pick it up and start another attack but how do they break the position they have been in for the last 20 minutes as a defensive unit but actually doing something in the load? because he tries a little step there and misses the ball and sometimes you can put your foot outside and knock the player down accidentally, go for the ball, but if you miss and make contact, it can be a very lucky penalty. their premier league last season pretty well fourth in the form table nine out of 19. beaten four times which was the fewest in the division with champions manchester city we are one of the teams that went here of course looking for it before clive and I completely forgot about the 5-2 against West Brom.

Here I felt like the fever dream didn't matter. I had a brilliant first half. He could score Verna for a goal. The goalkeeper is not convincing, but he did enough. He has done it again. Hasn't he won? the ball high up the pitch goes against Delhi is probably a bit easier for him but he does it so quickly that he moves forward with a chance again, looks for that bit of space to deflect the shot and doesn't get a clear enough shot just thinking. About these first 40 minutes or so, Tony Rudiger has probably made more challenges that are fouls, but he has some clear ones, it is very tight every time Sony does not allow him to turn to go anywhere and sometimes it is a physical contact that Rudiger is so good. and his son doesn't like it, he falls for little money maybe he just falls under the weight of the body, it's not necessarily a fault, but it borders on the limit, I should say, those two renewed hostilities.

I remember it was a couple of seasons ago that the song was sent to spurs he's making his way to the middle siesh he's going for the goal he was looking for habits in the end he found galini yeah and again you know we talk about the team all day, right ? and I'm sure we will continue to do it, but I think it's an opportunity for him to take on the last player. You know he has to go for the goal from that position, as what would be a greedy centre-forward would probably take advantage of that opportunity.

Yeah just trying to get the ball off him so yeah she hasn't eaten cs he's done really well putting his body in the way of the burgers and then challenging him from behind wasn't really a challenge just joining cs couldn't do the pass so contact was made, free kick, cold on a longer ball than perhaps we are used to seeing, but it has to be said that it is the type of ball that Burner can run into space with, use his pace, luck that doesn't get the touch it has. he got a little lucky there, he could have dodged the goalkeeper without even trying completely in no man's land two year contract for nuno supports from the championship to the quarterfinals of the european league maybe there is something happening above him in this moment by The look of things we can't tear it apart and see what it is, we have a lot more, yes, I think it was through the tunnel to the other end, so now there will be a bounce from the goalkeeper who has all the power behind him. that's more like alberts very good hit, hit the target this is enough, there's not much space 22 yards from the goal, wow fabulous kante, he must be full right now, just intercept everything and then get some nutmeg also for your own personal pleasure well, someone would like to have a boat from here, it's not really from marcos alonso's side, yes, she comes over to present her claim, neither does the one from her side, both because they are left-handed , 23, 4 yards from the goal, perfectly within shooting distance, very interesting to watch. what they evoke here if we have done too much with the free kicks in training, matt, she see, maybe they don't want to reveal anything until the season starts, but it seems like a direct shot from one to another and those Claiming seniority, I think it says that I scored a free kick against Tottenham before Hakeem left, I mean, during the first half, Chelsea beat Tottenham one to zero here, uh, Hakeem Ziesh in the 15th minute with the goal, but there could have been more .

From then on, yes, it could have been, I mean, there were one or two chances, half chances that maybe we could have taken advantage of, but I have to say that, in the general round game, we were magnificent, we passed the ball well , I'm coming back. For Ngolo County, running the show through midfield, it has been excellent, but it has also been a team performance. Chelsea are doing well so far. I'm sure we'll see a lot of substitutions during the second half, but the 11 that started this game have proven to be too many. for tottenham in the first half there is not much work for eduard mendy in the blues goal the other winger pia luigillini has been quite busy chelsea continues where they left off on sunday they beat arsenal they are in front here against tottenham they expect many changes Also, as the second half goes on, although their bench is nowhere near Chelsea's depth tonight, it's mainly youth players, so you know Espirito Santo could use a little more, I think from some of his biggest figures in the second half for Thomas Tucker.

I'm sure he has it planned out exactly who will play how many minutes so far. You will be very happy with what they have offered you.
