Programme: English Premier League 2023/24
Competition day: Saturday, December 16, 2023
Stadium: Stamford Bridge
Competition results: Chelsea 2-0 Sheffield United
Mauricio Pochettino’s lineup today caused quite a stir.
The first is Georgy Petrovich The used Serbian, who transferred from the New England Revolution, got the chance to make his debut in Game 1 instead. Robert Sanchez Who was injured in the previous match (0-2 Everton)
the next Enzo Fernandez The drop, if I’m not mistaken, is almost the first time the world champion midfielder, worth £107m, has been left out of the starting eleven following his move at the start of the year.
The central midfield duo are Conor Gallagher and Moses Caicedo, while the attacking line includes Raheem Sterling, Cole Palmer and Mikalo Modric behind goalkeeper Nicolas.
Another thing is the return to the reserve title for a Premier League match for the first time. Christopher Nkunku He has been injured since the beginning of the season, and this means that his body condition has begun to return to its level of physical fitness.
In terms of match statistics, Chelsea may not be able to achieve a draw this year by beating the Double Swords. But in the last 3 meetings of the 2020/21 season, Chelsea won all 3 (Premier League 2, FA Cup 1) with scores of 4-1, 2-1 and 2-0 respectively.
But more than that, Chelsea has to walk to the ordination ceremony in the cold season. If you can’t beat this game that’s what happened with Sheffield United for now
Although football changed coaches, such as Sheffield United, they recovered to beat Brentford 1-0 in the last match, but before that. They have lost 13 of their first 16 games, falling to the bottom just looking at the teams above.
This is a very good opportunity for Chelsea to compensate after losing 3 of the last 4 matches and falling to 12th place in the standings.
But after the first half ended with a score of 0-0 and the match, although they had more possession of the ball, the opportunity to do so was still limited. It can be thought that some of Senga’s fans might be secretly wiping off sweat. Thinking about the future or will this game be brave? Plums cannot be hacked
but Cole Palmer He made it 1-0 in the 54th minute after having the chance to tap in Raheem Sterling’s pass.
The main goal gave the team a live broadcast. Evaluate Chelsea’s chances of winning this match as having risen to 84%, while a draw is 14% and that Sheffield United will be able to come back and win. This is likely to happen only 2% of the time.
Then after making it 1-0, less than 5 minutes later, Palmer followed through and picked the ball up at the back right end. Before cutting to the second electrode Nicholas Jackson Easy to shoot.
The score should have remained 3-0, at least from one golden opportunity, when Palmer presented the golden plate to the reserve spear. Armando Proya But it seemed that the attack was closer than the Albanian striker’s shot with two feet in front of the goal. Instead, his shot incredibly bounced off the side of the post.
This was another brilliant game from Cole Palmer, the boy from Manchester City who asked to thrive at Chelsea.
They both scored to take a 1-0 lead.
He provided the assist for the 2-0 goal.
In fact there should be one more help then Armando Proya Don’t spill the beans.
In addition, these results have a strong impact on the results of the competition. The 21-year-old’s form was excellent from start to finish. Creating danger and a headache for the visiting team’s defense every time they get the ball.
On the downgrade, we give Palmer a 9/10.
If you can stand the test of time and produce good results like that throughout every match. Or almost every match it will be very bright and shiny.
Another issue that can be noted from this game, as mentioned, is the release of Enzo Fernandes as a reserve.
But this decision of Mauricio Pochettino It did not cause any harm at all.
Conversely, he also gives us a version of Moises Caicedo that is closer to his formative years at Brighton.
Because in this game, Caicedo does not have to settle down to help defend in his area. He has been given the freedom to take his game to a higher level. The result is that you will be able to play with the ball in a variety of rhythms. Enjoy the opportunity to show your beautiful senses and skills. There’s a nice cutting shot. And pass sharp balls to friends
This is the form Chelsea fans have wanted to see for a long time.
As for Nicholas Jackson, who returned to the starting lineup again, it was actually not an impressive match at all. The game is still unstable and confusing, unable to create any danger in attacking the visiting team’s defense as it should.
But even personal appearance is not pretty. The Senegalese striker also scored his eighth goal with Chelsea this season, his eighth goal in 19 matches.
Seeing him openly play like this, whether good or bad, will raise double figures for Chelsea.
As for Chelsea’s pity for this match, there is probably only one. Christopher Nkunku Didn’t knock rust for a minute. Although there is a name in reserve
With 2. Armando Proya How could you miss such a close charge from a distance of 2-3 yards?
Other than that no problem. It is a great way to build confidence ahead of the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Newcastle United on Tuesday 19 December.
