Chelsea: Bergström, Rahman, McClelland, Colwill, Simeu - Bate, Lawrence, Livramento - Lewis, Soonsup-Bell, Anjorin

Just noticed that Chelsea are without their 2 best goalscorers - Bryan Fiabema (who scored the winner in Fa Youth Cup against us), and Myles Peart-Harris who has scored 5 or 6 goals so far

 

[NYAS]

Not a bad team that, we’re going to need it!

 

[AltiUn]

When's KO and is it on MUTV?

 

[lysglimt]

Not a bad team that, we’re going to need it!

Chelsea haven't impressed that much this season, and this is probably a weaker side than they have used in previous games

 

[lysglimt]

When's KO and is it on MUTV?

in 6 minutes and yes

 

[711]

12:00 kick off. I'm not sure if it's live on https://www.chelseafc.com/en/live or not, the message is contradictory, but I'll check it out.

 

[AltiUn]

in 6 minutes and yes

Excellent.

 

[lysglimt]

Interview with Pellistri - "Edinson is always trying to be above me" ?

Hm....so thats how they do it in Uruguay

 

[711]

yeah, it's free on Chelsea TV

Soonsup-Bell is a top centre forward in his age group, although only 16.

 

[El Zoido]

I’m not watching the game but my score app says we’re 2-0 down after 3 minutes. What’s going on??

 

[lysglimt]

2 minutes played and 2-0 to Chelsea

 

[lysglimt]

Mengi has been a joke so far

Regardless of what happens for the rest of the game - he will get a 0 in rating

 

[Ace of Spades]

What has happened to Mengi ??

 

[lysglimt]

What has happened to Mengi ??

Good question ... been asking myself the same thing

 

[lysglimt]

well - they usually say that the U23 and U18 should try to replicate the first-teams way of playing football - and we certainly have so far

 

[Gordon S]

well - they usually say that the U23 and U18 should try to replicate the first-teams way of playing football - and we certainly have so far

So a comeback is on the cards?

 

[Drainy]

[Adam-Utd]

I’m not watching the game but my score app says we’re 2-0 down after 3 minutes. What’s going on??

we've let in 2 goals in 2 minutes.

 

[Ubik]

Offside but that was a fantastic finish from Pellistri.

 

[lysglimt]

We have been equal to Chelsea - if you ignore those first 135 seconds

 

[Davie Moyes]

I’m not watching the game but my score app says we’re 2-0 down after 3 minutes. What’s going on??

Sorry to ask the wrong question but which app do you have that tells you reserve team scores?

 

[Gordon S]

Bit better from us now but it is no fun to see our talented young players chasing ghosts for the first 15 minutes

 

[Adnan]

3-0

 

[Adnan]

Nearly 4 after Will Fish is caught dwelling on the ball.

 

[Ubik]

Our defenders today... yikes.

 

[lysglimt]

This can end horribly bad. Defensively this is about as awful as it can get.

 

[El Zoido]

Sorry to ask the wrong question but which app do you have that tells you reserve team scores?

It’s called FotMob, I’ve been using it for years and it’s brilliant. You can choose which teams to follow (including women’s football), which games and leagues you get alerts from, etc. I highly recommend it.

 

[Gordon S]

Chelsea is still streets ahead at this level, feels like they could score a lot more

 

[duffer]

Baba Rahman playing!

 

[lysglimt]

Chelsea is still streets ahead at this level, feels like they could score a lot more

Well scoring 2 goals in 2 minutes will do that for you

 

[Mickson]

We are like Brighton in the Premier League. Play some good football, but awful in both penalty areas. Keep giving the ball away in dangerous areas. We lack presence and a clear striker in the box. We aren't effective at all. I don't know if it's a big problem for their development but it's very frustrating to watch.

 

[GueRed]

the kids simply got shrugged aside by that Chelsea team in the first half

0-3 ht

ps. their keeper is lanky as feck, reminds me of WWF's Giant Gonzalez

 

[Gordon S]

Chelsea press very well as a team and gives our players very little time on the ball. Good learning experience for them

 

[Adnan]

Some early Xmas gifts for Chelsea today.

 

[Lash]

Getting really put to the sword here. Humbling, but big lessons to be learned.

 

[Mickson]

It's really, really strange to keep playing Woolston here, isn't it? He's 22 years old, signed as a backup, it's not like he has a future here or even in professional football IMO, still he plays week in and week out.

 

[Tony247]

Poor defense. A lot to learn.
