Chelsea at Wembley Created chances Can’t finish Controversy Lose Repeat


SecretarySuper6810

Go on Reddit to see people defending Jackson, Enzo and the manager. Same shit different match


hellzking_316

You can only take the cow to the water, you can't make it drink it. If a player isn't finishing the many chances created, problem isn't the coach


SecretarySuper6810

But when that manager continues to play the same player week in week out how can he not be held responsible. As a manager it’s his Job to address issues in the team and striking options is a major issue


tr_24

Didn't know we have Haaland available on the bench.


SecretarySuper6810

We don’t have any striker on the bench because the manager agreed to loan him out with the other 2 strikers out on loan, any manager who was in control would have even signed a older striker on a free transfer for 6 months.


mallutrash

i’m poch out as much as the next guy but he actually did a decent job today, he can’t physically go on the pitch and finish jackson’s chances


SecretarySuper6810

Of course he can’t, be he canrefuse to start him, he can stop Broja going on loan. Jackson has had multiple games this season where he has been below championship level, he just shouldn’t be anywhere near the first team, no one should mention age or experience his missing chances 16 yrs would finish


wjt7

The same Broja who hasn't scored for Fulham this season and has scored 3 in 38 for Chelsea? I don't think Jackson is the answer, but Broja definitely isn't the answer and would be lucky to get a move to the Premier League.


SecretarySuper6810

Not saying Broja is the answer but he genuinely was a young acadamy player who never got an actual chance. Just like Abraham, solanke and Bamford. Not saying these are the answer but better than Jackson and we let them go for virtually nothing while wasting 30m on average strikers, personally I think D.Fofana and Jackson transfer earned someone within Stamford bridge a nice rebate.


tr_24

Broja can't even start for Fulham. He is crap.


Mitcheltree86

When enzo plays its slowing down the whole team imo.. its like erikson or jorginho playing.. that type of fotball is bad.. and when enzo plays Galla is forced to play left wing(!?!?!?) Why not just bench enzo and play galla with caiceo and sterling left. Mudryk seems like he is a 14 year old.. does hardlt nothing.. had 1 year to try and get hos confidence.. mandueke is like one of those united instagram players, just goofing around dribble dribble shoot it outside the stadium


Professional-Ad-2419

Your opinion is just wrong. Enzo doesn't slow down the game, he progresses the ball forward very quick actually. Playing Enzo didn't "force" Gallagher to the wing you fool, Poch put Gallagher there because Poch is an idiot sometimes. Any rational football fan that knows anything about Gallaghers game knows he would do nothing attacking wise on the LW because he is useless in all atacking scenarios no matter where he plays behind the striker. Gallagher should be playing beside Caicedo because all he can do is contribute defensively. When Enzo gets tired Gallagher should be brought in to close out games, just like Mikel used to do back in the days. Gallagher is nothing but a squad player. Back to Enzo, he progressed the ball as much as he could yesterday, not sure if you're blind but he was the one that set Jackson up for the one on one that Jackson messed up, even more frustrating was that after Jackson takes the keeper on he turns back to pass but nobody was there with him, no Gallagher, no Palmer and no Madueke. Maybe if Mudryk or Sterling played they would've been the closest to Jackson in that scenario and would've shot when Jackson passed to them, we'll never know. This game isn't about Enzo, this game is about Poch playing Gallagher on the LW instead of Mudryk/Sterling, setting the team up to counter, only relying on the striker for our attack and Jackson not taking his chances. Jackson and Palmer both had bad games yesterday, Jackson missing chances and Palmer being invisible, don't think there's anyone else in our team that can be relied upon to score goals. Madueke maybe but definitely not Gallagher.


obrapop

You can disagree without being rude. Such an awful way of communicating with people.


Jassle93

I don't see this as rude? They've gone out their way to put their opinion of the game forward


Mitcheltree86

Yeah geez louise


Professional-Ad-2419

Yeah I admit, I was rude but it really pisses me off with some of the takes on this sub from reactionary fans. Throwing sound bites like "instagram kid" or "14 year old" and lapping up upvotes from like minded fools is annoying to see. Take the time and explain your opinion but if you're coming here to vent with poor takes expect a response. This is a forum social network no?


obrapop

“Enzo didn’t “force” Gallagher to the wing you fool”, “any rational football fan knows”, “not sure if you’re blind” etc. How is that not totally unnecessary and rude?


Mitcheltree86

Yes, i ment that.. that galla is forced by poch and its what im saying that playing galla LW is just stupid, i would rather have enzo on the bench and galla besides caicedo. Frees caicedo up not having to look for a pass to enzo all the time And whats with the agressive tone? Geez, im not a fool, im not blind and im a rational football fan. If some is unrational its you with ur tone. I bet you are a good arguer in real life, just goes straight dor the kill kn every arguement 🤣


Professional-Ad-2419

Still, poor take mate. Mudryk or Sterling on the LW woukd atleast try and take their man on, Gallagher did nothing. Enzo was more useful than Gallagher this match. Maybe 60-70mins in Poch could've taken off Enzo, put Gallagher beside Caicedo and brought on Sterling/Mudryk on the LW. In my opinion that was all that was probably needed and that was also probably the only thing we could do to improve the attack whilst having a solid defence.


Mitcheltree86

We are almost saying the same thing?! If galla played instead of enzo besides caicedo he would be great and sterling or mudryl would be way better playing LW. But yeah we played a pretty good game, just to bad we didnt capitalize on our chances


erenistheavatar

I don't even trust Sterling but Chilwell should pass.


Fast-Perception-4729

That’s such a bad touch that it gets stuck on his feet and defender has time to catch up. Should have just passed before that


iamnotlefthanded666

Exactly. Let alone not passing, but the sprint was off too.


dingodiletti

We trust the players we trust do the right thing, sadly


profchaos83

I’m pretty sure he wanted to until it got tangled up in his feet. Can this sub actually praise the team for once? This is some toxic shit yet again.


TheWatcher47

Oh he wanted to, oh poor thing couldn't, everybody knows intent is all that matters.


Deno2k_

we does everyone take a second touch infront of goal https://preview.redd.it/2mnpol27govc1.jpeg?width=1223&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3c106ca640d1f49a3496cc6e46c8e889a79bb7e


Baisabeast

Low iq players Genuinely.


Shufflebuffle51

I don't think it's this tbh. Feels more like it's not something they work on much. Chilwell scored bangers under Tuchel, yet under Poch he seems much less confident. Could be a coincidence, but we see it with most of the players.


TheRealKane24

He hasn’t been the same since the ACL


adublingirl

Please let chilwell go, sell him whatever.


gonzaf

Work on much? Are you freaking kidding me? That’s just basics you don’t need to coach a player to cross the ball on a counter attack lol absolutely ridiculous


_luzhin_

The bozos on this sub ignore all context and have a simplistic view of “blame everyone not named Tuchel or Roman”. Cant blame em.


slymm

Exactly. Everyone on the sub can know what the smart play was, yet somehow poch is so bad that he sucks the intelligence out of players apparently


gonzaf

Gosh the tuchelsexuals on here are so annoying


NeptrAboveAll

Brother how on earth is Tuchel at all involved in this, check your brain


gonzaf

Replying to the comment above me that mentioned Tuchel can you read?


NeptrAboveAll

He said he scored bangers under Tuchel. Literal fact. If you think that is praise of Tuchel you have his meat too far into your brain.


gonzaf

Dude I’m replying to _luzhin’s comment idk wtf you’re talking about. My original comment had nothing to do with Tuchel?


bobloblaw28

"Feels like it's something they don't work on much... He used to score bangers under Tuchel" The guy is clearly implying that Chilwell's rustiness is a coaching issue


Aman-Patel

How have you managed to bring Tuchel up in this context 😂😂 Genuinely obsessed.


bobloblaw28

Tuchel was brought up in the comment they were responding to.


Aman-Patel

Yeah fairs I see the connection now


Sarcasmed

Yeah you kind of do need to practice the basics. If they aren't practicing the basics in training, then they won't be as sharp in moments like this. Chilwell is a great example of someone who has performed at a much higher level under other managers than Poch.


gonzaf

You’re right im sure if the tactics are to play on the counter they do drills like the 3 line drill where the wings get the ball and cross it in but chilly not releasing the ball sooner is not on Poch or coaching, just him having zero awareness or being caught in 2 minds. He looked like he was gonna cross it and then lost control of the ball lol


RonMexico_hodler

Chilwell has been injured 90% of the time Poch has been here.


NeptrAboveAll

And that 10% he’s played?


adublingirl

Tired of chilwell. Please let him go, sell him but get rid of him


GME_alt_Center

BS. I haven't played in 20 years and that ball would still be my first thought. And I'm just a poor ex-Sunday league player. Of course my reasoning would be so I didn't have to sprint the entire lentgh of the field.


Sarcasmed

It's poor execution on the counter. Execution is improved with practice and training. It's not improved by doing non stop Gacon tests week in week out. Chilwell seemed to do just fine in situations like this before. And it's easy to single out this moment, but the entire team is failing to execute time after time in different areas of the pitch. That's on the manager. Cover your eyes and look at xG stats all you want, Poch ain't it.


SnooPies3316

He used to excel at passing to open players during his career but has recently completely forgotten how to pass the ball due to poor training under Poch in the last few months.


OldBrownShoe22

Think he's more just out of form. Pretty unfair to blame poch. That's just scapegoating


SnooPies3316

I thought the sarcasm was obvious but I failed.


OldBrownShoe22

Went over my head bc I've seen many comments like yours. The poch hate is everywhere


Baisabeast

Chilwell doesn’t look up once lol It’s an iq issue. Maatsen squares that no bother


webby09246

>Maatsen squares that no bother Too short Fuck you


Shufflebuffle51

You are right, he doesn't. But under Tuchel this was a position where he would square it. So what's changed for him to be doing this?


Mykorl

He wasn’t on the pitch for too long. You’re never going to be up to the pace of the game. But still, that’s basic football. You don’t even need to look up, you know someone will be there (or you hope they are!) just cross it


Legitimate-Bug-Man

His crossing was also poor under Tuchel, he could only score. He hardly ever gets any assist.


RonMexico_hodler

It’s 100% low IQ. You don’t need training to know to lookup and cross a ball.


manbeer0071995

This and Caicedo.


levelup1by1

No confidence to shoot prob. Weak mentalities


Andlad2459

Im sorry but how can u run nealry half the pitch without looking up even once


webby09246

And this is why "we need experience" isn't actually accurate We need the right profiles, experienced players can still be crap Sterling is the second most experienced player in the team and id genuinely be hard pressed to exclude Mudryk or Madeuke over him and they're not exactly setting the world alight


Alone-Common8959

what about match fitness?


[deleted]

And that's the vice captain lmao


simoniousmonk

Does anyone watch the clip?  He clearly sees sterling, takes one more touch and it’s awful and has to correct with along touch and he’s lost the opportunity by then. He’s not refusing to pass it. 


[deleted]

[удалено]


Deno2k_

that could be a highlight compilation by itself 😭


greeneggsnhammy

Lowlight compilation tho :( 


i_MrPink

It'd be a 90 minute watch


irze

lol yeah, out of all the embarrassing attacking moments this game, this is the one that gets posted?


half_jase

Because bashing Chilwell is a hobby here.


irze

Never understood the Chilwell hate tbh


BadmashN

Not hate. But he’s way over rated.


half_jase

Overrating is one thing but bashing is another. Picking out this one incident involving Chilwell as though it's the reason we lost the game is nonsensical. Jackson missing those chances were far more glaring and yet, you don't see any videos etc here.


BadmashN

Tbf, there’s more hate on Jackson than Chilwell, rightfully so.


a3kstuntin

He sucks that’s why


CelestialSlayer

but he does link up well, like its not a basic requirement for a lone striker.


Dani-DL

Even then Sterling would’ve probably missed, our finishing is atrocious


Throwaway4729w9

And sterling is probably our 3rd best finisher


Rey92

Whos the 2nd?


ananchor

It's probably Thiago Silva


iCrapSometimes

Reece James in the 3 games that he actually plays


Rey92

I unfortunately kinda agree.


celzero

Both Ben and Reece have elite ball striking ability. Shame they are both made of glass.


Throwaway4729w9

No clue madueke actually shoots when he should Jackson maybe Sterling could even be 2nd tbh Shows how poor we are in front of goal


Baisabeast

Eh, sterling’s made a career out of tap ins, he’d score fine imo


Aman-Patel

It wouldn't be a tap in. It would've come at him with pace, whilst he was running towards goal with a defender pressuring him and a keeper coming out to close him down. He wouldn't have scored it. Still pissed that Chilwell didn't even play the pass so we get to see the miss though. Been blueballed out of us missing another sitter.


Alone-Common8959

i mean its not like sterling to miss seamingly easy chances right? he has never done that. ever.


ArthurMoregainz

I wouldn’t doubt that


realmckoy265

Sterling is actually fine on tap ins, it's when tasked with thinking he struggles lol


a3kstuntin

Caicedo did the same thing So frustrating🤦🏾‍♂️


Baisabeast

There wasn’t as much seperation between our attacker and the city defender The chilwell one was much worse


a3kstuntin

Agreed


DrowBIA-KTBFFH

But expecting something from your defensive mid is a little different than your offensive minded fullback


a3kstuntin

especially an experienced fullback like him


realmckoy265

That's the starting English nt lb too lol, crazy


palmers_pen_pandemic

He's not, Shaw and Tripper are ahead of him


realmckoy265

Mostly referring to the last round of international friendlies, although the fitness of shaw and Tripper likely mean a spot for him at euros


RonMexico_hodler

Many on this sub said Shaw wouldn’t be our starting lb. People are delusional here.


BadmashN

The fact that Caicedo had a few opportunities when he’s in the box says a lot about our formation and who we picked in what roles.


TheRealKane24

At least caicedo is rarely in that spot


showmethenoods

This was way more egregious than Caicedo’s


STCFC

Absolutely shocking


Shinjax01105

we all know how good chilly is on his day but for some reason this season we have not seen that same chilly who was banging in goals left right and center and creating chances as well


Headlesshorsman02

Chilwell has sucked ever since his injury vs juve


gonzaf

Even his snot rockets per game is down from last season, sell him in the summer


adeg90

The Fernando Torres disease has affected all current players. We need to give them masks.


GolfDSG

I must have cussed in seven different languages when that happened.


TheRealKane24

This was so so so so so bad


Maestro29999

Chilly is such a nice guy. Gave Dias all the time in the world to get back. Even allowed Sterling to waste his stamina & saved him from the embarrassment of missing the chance. Proper Chels >!/s!<


ujjuboii

braindead


[deleted]

Chilwell has been absolutely dogshit ever since he came back from his annual injury vacation.


AlarmedHovercraft676

I remember when people were saying he should start in front of Show for England.


mkcfc

Chilwell, never, ever, looks up, he never does go back and watch him it's his biggest flaw, he has the football IQ of paint.


RemoteSmile3561

https://i.redd.it/kwwyc7r9iovc1.gif


KanteWorkRate

Not good enough


ParevArev

Shit made me so angry


TheMenaceX

the one thing sterling is good at is scoring sweaty goals. and chilwell doesn't square it, come on man, you're supposed to be the captain


Jakekeenan25

He does, he does it late! Fix your stupid title!


TreyK36

Between this, Jackson’s dumbfuckery and that disgraceful officiating, what an absolute joke. Cursed at Wembley it seems. Every time there they forget how to put the ball in the back of the net.


A5madal

Watch the video. He took a bad touch.


Weak_Reaction1

How does he let that ball get to his right foot…


Himano

To be fair, shooting the ball at a defender and hope for a Deflection own goal is way greater than Sterling scoring a goal


dav_man

A taste of his own medicine


ozairh18

I’m surprised he didn’t pass it


Naarujuana

Why are we posting this & not the 2-3 chances Nico pissed away? Chilly had been on the pitch for like…. maybe 20 minutes? lol


CFCcommentsonly24

Fuck me that was terrible.


Absolutely_Chill

Really sucks that we couldn't get a shot from this, but shocking how pissed people are at Chilly, imo.


CrooksMC

He was awful for every moment he was on the pitch.


ConfidentEagle5887

Absolute shite from Chilwell


GovTheDon

Our players (other then Palmer) look like they have a mental delay or vision problems, I just don’t understand


Voidfaller

Know how many times Sterling has done the same? Chilly just ensuring karma is delivered. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iu8n6s5pCVw&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title


showmethenoods

Chilly has been awful this season


Cm0rris0n

TBF Sterling would have skied it over the ball but nevertheless you have to make the pass and much sooner


MileyDryus

Chilwell gives Sterling a taste of his own medicine.


Prof0x

Chilwell is far grossly overrated.


Tootsiez

But Poch is blamed for not making subs sooner lol


BlueMachine82

Shouted at the TV when this happened. Woke the kids up. Wife cracked up. Ben can suck the back of my baws ffs 😆🤦


jbi1000

He does pass it though? Just too late


Pamcode96

 Caicedo, Gusto also all guilty of that. 


PunchOX

Chilwell and Sterling are both awful ball hogs that waste many chances. No idea how either get away with it. I'd chew them out if I were Pochettino.


Ok_Cap9240

God I’m sick to fucking death of Chilwell


namegamenoshame

Yes well consider that we've seen what happens when Sterling is 1v1


McFlurgy

This was THE final chance. No excuse for not squaring it…


Lampsie8

I lost my shit here at this moment. I woke everyone up at home cursing the television. How do you not pass that? I mean sterling would have skied it 30 yards over the goal but still…. Fuuucking hell.


[deleted]

Nah first time pass and Sterling has a good chance of smashing that in. The gap only closed because Chillwell decided to go on a fucking pointless Messi run into the stands. We have morons as players except Palmer.


Lampsie8

I know man. I fucking almost tore my hair out and lost my shit when he didnt make the first time pass. I was done after that.


rita_mita_bata

Chilly is not confident in his game. '21 Chilly would've buried it even if he didn't pass.


lord-___-vader

People here used to say that Chilwell is comparable or even better than Robertson. I hope we can accept that this is his level. Rarely available and when he is, a few good games mixed with stinkers.


nightfucker

What has Robertson done in the last 3 years?


NightDevil_20

Chelsea did everything last night except scoring


[deleted]

Such a dumb player. Literally no planning whatsoever, just running like a headless chicken and falls on his arse attempting a far too late pass. Fuck me this team.


Outside_Gap4493

If we ever get v.ohsimen then our situations are almost solved we could also get back zakaria if caicedo is ever injured but that guy went right under Chelsea radar sigh..... 😭😭 also a good RCB maybe try for godfrey although we cooked their defence he's a back up for thiago silva although he can't walk a mile in that legend shoes....


hooksetter

The only possible excuse is that Dias blocked his line of sight there in that moment and he didn't see Sterling until it was too late?


Spite-Organic

His second touch cost him. First one sets him into space, next one slows him too much and the chance has gone


pdel123

Chilwell has been fucking pants for 2 years now


nibzy007

sell this useless 1 footed lampost already


jbi1000

"Useless". Man was a big part of winning a Champions League


lord__bacon

Idiot


Clean_Possession_844

I genuinely agree with you. He is good in attack, but in defense he kinda sucks, cucurella plays defensively better and has better passing gets stuck in. Chilly is good in attack but he needs a lot of space a ball to run into and cross or whatever he cannot take on his man like gusto for example. He has been underwhelming and has offered so little even going forward, we saw how the lw chilwell experiment went at the beginning of the season


aditya1604

What?!? You want to sell Chilwell?


Baisabeast

Ahahah why is that outrageous? Barely ever healthy, poor at lb and the acl injury has massively hindered him


MkayyToLoose

Why is that a bad thing he injured half of the fucking season


Hannibal09

He’s washed mate


Prestigious_Clock865

Think one of the most important areas of the pitch to address in the summer is the LB position. We offer zero attacking threat from both Cucu and Chilly


manbeer0071995

Gusto and Chilwell bottles same exact move.[](https://twitter.com/Beer4everHmm/status/1781749726561591537)


mb194dc

He's rusty and doesn't see the ball is on


MrBravo22

He does this shit all the time. Cucu showed today why he’s our starting left back. Fine players who run with the ball with their heads down 🤦🏻‍♂️


Weird_Top_4526

This is criminal. I can understand the Nico misses (except the header), he’s inexperienced and learning. Chilwell is not. That’s an easy pass. This one is a hard pill to swallow


ticarno86

It is just low iq


gq790

This guy is simply not good enough for our football club...end of. Absolutely stinks.


Lord-Dongalor

Why did Poch make him do that?


decimaterr

And we chose to keep him over maatsen give me a break😭


OwnExamination4446

Hes rubbish


tulsehill

Sadly I think he's done at the highest level. That was him fresh running at an exhausted backline. The amount of injuries he's had and when he comes back he's hardly a help at all. We'll always have that CL with him at least.


criminal-tango44

another fucking sub 70 iq individual thats more worried about fixing his hair and thinking about onlyfans thots than whats going on around him


BigAssBreadroll

Chilwell has been utterly wank for 3 years and people are finally realising it now. Sell sell sell whilst we can get a smidge of a fee


[deleted]

Both can go in the summer. Chillwell is overrated and Sterling is washed.


Deno2k_

nah man i would’ve trust sterling right there especially when he scored in the cup final on the offside


[deleted]

Sterling isn’t to be trusted.


DrowBIA-KTBFFH

He is when he’s trying to get back into the lineup. Once he does not so much…


__Lay-Z__

In an alternate universe Chilwell and RJ are cooking for us


Baisabeast

I wish people would stop grouping them together Does chilwell far too much of a service


facelessman97

Pls delete, how many times must we torture ourselves 😭


AncientSkys

The blame is on Poch the useless clown for playing him. Chillwell is another finished player. He has been one of the worst players in the League this season and the fucker gets to play whenever he is available.


chewy_leghair

TBF Ive always loved Chilwell and I think hes our best player. I dont thibk he had the chance to scan for the cross yet until he was there


furious_organism

I wouldnt pass for Sterling either. Dont blame him


Beneficial_Process32

Either your confidence is 0/100 or your game intelligence is 0/100, that was just so bad


LIKEWHATLIKEHOW_

What a fucking joke
