PL Matchday 2 | 24/8/24 - 25/8/24

I wonder who will get sacked first, Edward Howe or Ten Hag?
 
This Chelsea team are so open though, a better team batters them if they play like this.

People don't realize this imo. Good teams make their own luck. Like yes Villa should have scored. But it happens, chances do get missed. Then when you have your chance what can you do? Troussard's snap shot was not easy by any means, but it was a quality finish and once you're ahead it's more than half the battle.

Also notice how little villa threatened after going down. Now imagine its us leading against Villa at their home. They would be all over us as we would be constantly giving the ball away and we would have to hunker down to protect the lead and of course that leads to an inevitable goal for them. That's why so many on redcafe don't believe this style from ETH will work. We don't value possession or control the game enough to win.

I agree totally, yeah. There wasn’t the same push or scramble after going ahead. They shut them down, kept Bailey and Rogers far from goal and then clamped down, got the second and killed off the game. They are a quality team.
