FA Cup Final 2020 - Arsenal v Chelsea

[TheMagicFoolBus]

That's there the big problem if zouma is chelsea's best or even second best defender. He is good in air, I give that. But otherwise very weak in defending.

I actually think this is almost backwards - he's a brilliant 1v1 defender and tackler. See his last ditch challenge against Palace for a recent example.

He struggles more in possession and in his positioning. I suspect he'd be much more at home in a side that plays reactively - there's a reason he was brilliant under Mourinho, for instance.

If he can become more comfortable on the ball and learn to read the game better, he'd be top class. The optimistic side of me is hopeful he can get there...we'll see.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Triggered? It's just a silly statement. He's obviously not a championship-level player.

Of course but you seemed to get quite shirty about it.


Be great if you lose

Shots fired

 

[Sylar]

That looks bad for Pulisic.

Cool feel free, I'm not too bothered about losing a Cup here or there, given our trophy count over the years.

 

[Dobba]

Ping.

 

[GifLord]

Pulisic is done

 

[kidbob]

Ah shit really feel for the lad there.

 

[Superunknown]

Doesn't look great for Pulisic there. Looks serious.

 

[prateik]

Chelsea are fecked.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Surely that keeps him out for a while.

 

[Mcking]

Hamstring?

 

[Irrational.]

That's another hamstring twanged/ ?twung

 

[TheMagicFoolBus]

RIP our chances. PM incoming @Inigo Montoya

 

[Harry190]

This is really sad. To lose players like that. It looks bad for both.

 

[Fooza]

Chelsea are done here now, without Pulisic they lose their bite.

 

[TheReligion]

Pulisic finished. Hammy

 

[prateik]

Shouldnt have taken the shot..
A bad tear can be months.. feel bad for the guy.

 

[HackeyC]

Can't believe he actually got the shot away, must have been in agony.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

If Arsenal win, I’d be giving it large to my Chelsea mates, thankfully I don’t have any friends who support Chelsea.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

That looks bad for Pulisic.

He's done

 

[cian68]

I wonder how often players don't stretch properly before the second half

 

[Tony247]

He struggles more in possession and in his positioning. I suspect he'd be much more at home in a side that plays reactively - there's a reason he was brilliant under Mourinho, for instance.

True, his sense of position, his ball control, his distribution need improvement. May be the blame also could go to Rudiger for not being a leader.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Not Pulisic.

 

[Red Royal]

This is why we need to rest players for Europa. The toll is showing on a few players with a couple of hamstring injuries.

 

[mu4c_20le]

B ig blow for chelski

 

[Mcking]

Chelsea hamstrung here. Arsenal should go for it.

 

[100]

So do Chelsea only have 1 subsitution slot left?

 

[DWelbz19]

Huge miss for Chelsea that. Especially if it’s long term — season only starts in a few weeks!

 

[One Night Only]

Shouldnt have taken the shot..
A bad tear can be months.. feel bad for the guy.

Aye, it's where winning instinct takes over sadly, you know you shouldn't but you still do.

 

[Shane88]

Imagine what a warrior he'd look like if it went in though.

 

[Antisocial]

Why the feck would Willian want to leave Chelsea for Arsenal?!! A longer contract isn’t worth that sort of downgrade.

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

He looks good this Pulisic lad. So sharp. Shame his hamstring has gone ping.

Rooting for Arsenal.

 

[Dobba]

Why are they carrying him so he's still walking?

 

[arnie_ni]

Could have a big effect on next season as well. Especially if those signings don't hit the ground running

 

[Terminator]

Very unlucky for Pulisic. Hope its nothing major.

 

[Sylar]

He's done

Will be interesting to see how long for. Will be a blow for Chelsea if he doesnt return before the start of the season (still a blow if he misses pre season anyway)

 

[Inigo Montoya]

I'm not surprised, he's been doing so much running in the run in for the PL places, no surprise. Injuries waiting to happen
