God's own vs Chelsea final friendly match thread

[CTID Hants]

Unlike previous games this one is at a sociable and the Olympics is done for the day.

So I've decided to tune in, anyone else watching?

Here's the line up....


XI | Ortega, Lewis, Phillips, Gvardiol, Wilson-Esbrand, Kovacic, McAtee, O’Reilly, Bobb, Grealish, Haaland (C)

SUBS | Ederson, Carson, Perrone, Wright, Simpson-Pusey, Katongo, Ndala, Galvez, Susoho, Oboavwoduo, Mbete, Heskey, Doyle, Fatah, Mfuni, Hamilton, Samuel, Knight

Match ball sky dived in by red bull, God bless america

[CTID Hants]

Penalty 2 mins in and Haaland had to retake it and scores again 1-0 God's own

[CTID Hants]

Haaland party time 2-0 after 5 minutes and apparently this Chelsea squad is almost full strength?? (According to our commentators before KO)

[CTID Hants]

Ortega proving again why he shouldn't take GK's.

[Indianablue]

Phillips looking comfortable at the back because the pace is slow and he's under no real pressure but still managed to give the ball away under no pressure whatsoever. Honestly what is the point of Pep playing him?

[Indianablue]

Chelsea giving out a bit of stick. Hopefully we won't pick up any long lasting knocks

[CBEM]

I don't really know what we learn from these matches, would prefer a more local set of friendlies where clubs further down our pyramid get a nice little earner.

[CBEM]

Bobb has to get more starts this season.

As it used to be, agreed but it's now all part of the cash cow that the Premier League introduced.

[Indianablue]

Bobb has to get more starts this season.

He's looking really sharp. The other kids are looking ok as well. Nice to see Haaland score 3. Phillips though continues to give the ball away and hit hopeful long balls when he doesnt have to . Stirling causing a few issues for us since he's come on

Hopefully shop window...

[Indianablue]

Grealish needs to use his experience in the latter stages to spread the play around. Rico Lewis the second player to pull his hamstring FFS

[CTID Hants]

Lewis on the floor again, being subbed, fingers crossed he's OK having been subbed

[Indianablue]

Is Kovacic using Grecian 2000? Hairs turned black

[Indianablue]

Despite my criticism of Phillips, he's probably player his best game in the cb position

[Indianablue]

Ortega blocking shots with his cock and balls. What a guy

[Indianablue]

Carson could have fathered the City players finishing the game off.

Good fun all round - all change - the full party gets a chance

[Nickyboy]

We should take the money for Alvarez and use McAtee and Bobb to fill his bit part squad role
