Hope its not as serious/bad as it looked like on the replay
Wrong. He's said his preference is a back 4 but he is choosing a back 5 to be more cautious in these games and compensate for injuries. This whole line up is about being cautious and countering.
It's a good thing, it tells us that for a player to succeed, there are so many things to consider other than the league he used to play before
Tuchel doesn't look happy
I've a feeling Sterling will be ineffective at Chelsea
This Chelsea kit is horrible, some sort of half Inter, half QPR golem.
They wait to put the flag up as they can just check the build up if a goal is scored. By not stopping play, a player is injured.
Shocking effort from Gordon.
Koulibaly got away with it completely.
Koulibaly got away with it completely.
Pickford is trash.
They will do same with FDJ.
If he joins Chelsea, not so much if he comes home to papa Erik.
I think that’s the problem. Lampard doesn’t have the tactical nouse to grind out a lot of clean sheets to compensate for the lack of goals.
Pickford 
Free horseback rides!
Mina and Sterling
foul against Sterling for not letting him rideIs gopping
Sterling presenting himself to the Everton player there...
Var switched off? Mina had him in a full nelson.
I did miss that. But you could see that his ankle was in bad position.
Pony rides more like.
VAR has no involvement in that at all regardless of whether the ball was out or not. Linesman or referee should spot that the ball is out. Neither does.
Sterling
Jesus, that's a pen he was carrying sterling about like a young child
I think you'll find it was doggy style.
He was getting fecking spit-roasted!
He’s not as bad as they say… simply put, he is a men manager, not a football coach. Without grown-up, smart players a la Khedira, Pjanic, Mandzukic, etc. he is lost.
That Chelsea shirt is absolutely terrible
That slow mo replay from Sky was very suggestive 
That sterling replay looked a bit filthy..
That looked pretty dodgy, especially with Sterling's, er, pelvic posture.
Good save from Mendy.
But the linesman is supposed to hold his flag until the play has stopped because if he prematurely raises his flag and the ball wasn’t out after all (as seen by VAR) then a perfectly good goal would have been ruined. That’s where VAR comes in. If VAR wasn’t there the linesman immediately flags it as he sees it and Godfrey doesn’t get injured (if the linesman saw it as ball over line)

Might be borderline passable if not for the tacky big 3 in the middle of the shirt.
You just proved my point by saying "these games". His overall approach and trying to work off a foundation of that back 3/5 should be the norm and catalyst...but it is not.
Loving’s not fouling.
