Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan to look back at Chelsea’s 2:2 draw at home to Arsenal.
In part one we discuss the great start made by Chelsea: pressing and tackling and on the attack. Was it a penalty? And what about Sterling and Palmer arguing about who should take it. Was Mudryk’s amazing goal a ‘cross cum shot’ and did Sanchez cost us the game with his error? All in all, in spite of the disappointing result, it was the best performance of the season, a great tactical set up by Poch with the team well drilled in and out of possession.
In part two we say the midfield is purring – don’t change it. Palmer is potentially world class and a winner. Cucurella was a revelation and kept Saka in his pocket. Gusto is also looking a great prospect. With Chelsea’s best performance for a long time is this a turning point? Does Poch have a selection headache when the injured players return? And we wrap up with an appreciation of Eden Hazard and a look back at the Chelsea FanCast afternoon with Mickey Thomas live at the Troubadour Club.
