What is this kid

On his weak foot from an impossible angle onto the crossbar an the post and in.

#INGAME

The amount of possession of Delap losses and his recovery is also crazy..

Chelsea scoring from individual brilliance, dominating the game and throwing it away. Typical

#INGAME

Now we just can't control the game

#INGAME

If this was what Ass-No needed to pay 60M, he has given us reasons to ask for 90M (if the chatters are true)

Great performance by Noni

#FULLTIME

Estevao has done well.

Without Caicedo, Reece and Lavia, we have been brilliant too. Santos has really tried. Both Pedros have been brilliant too

I just hope I didn't jinx Reece and Lavia with that Maresca post and their injuries

#BottomLine

Delap needs to work on his mobility. Pedro is a real threat to his position. JP link up play, ball holding and movement was top notch.

Honestly if it was Delap vs Jackson, I'd say he wouldn't have done much besides roughing people up to be the ultimate starter. He really needs to pull up his socks

#FeelingGood

But this Estevao Kiddo was hell bent on eliminating us... Without any shame whatsover

Andrey Santos completed 5 tackles against Palmeiras

Estevão has played 87 games for Palmeiras in the last 18 months.

31 goals ⚽️
17 assists 🅰️

70 starts, 17 sub appearances. Just under 6,000 minutes (5,979)

That’s a lot of game time at such a young age

JP could be bringing Delap physicality and Jackson's Work rate all Iced with his own flair and win mentality.

It was only a start, but it looked promising.

#BottomLine

Jackson may be killing his Blues career with his childish reactions and stupid mentality, but a fact we cannot fail to appreciate is that it's his work rate and game involvement that always results in the many chances he wastes.

Delap on the other hand makes these little fake moves either to create spaces for blinded passes or for others, but his build up involvement is so blunt and his press triggers are mostly unfruitful.

But what is alarming the most is how plenty of times he is aimlessly walking by out of possession and how many times he loses balls in possession and the terrible effort he puts in to recover the lost ball.

This makes our attack less fluid, predictable and toothless.

The fact is you create more chances with more game movement and involvement.

Diego and Drogba used to be bullies, but their game involvement was also top notch. He may be a better finisher than Jackson, but he needs to work on these things if he is to be decisive

#AfterThought

Jackson has been with Chelsea forever. He has been with them throughout the tournament. He understands and knows everything about what Maresca wants.

JP has been here for about three days.

If I were Jackson, I'd be concerned with Maresca preference for JP from the bench. Whether it was a tactical or technical decision it doesn't matter.

I'd be very concerned

Jackson in this situation 😭😭

He's on a 2033 contract with us playing his heart out and celebrating 😂😂😂

This is exactly the mentality we need right now.

Both Estevao and Joao Pedro have me unreasonably excited. Can’t wait for them to be fully integrated into the squad.

From weak foot😂
