A game of 3 thirds! Started off with great pace, skill and goals, then we had a mad 15 minutes after half an hour and got back into our groove when the 2 subs were made on the hour.
Great feeling when the winner went in and superb atmosphere at the game.
Starting Line up:
Kepa 4
Azpilicueta 6
Rudiger 6
Luiz 5
Alonso 7
Jorginho 7
Kante 7
Barkley 6
Pedro 7
Willian 6
Morata 7
Subs:
Hazard 9* Star Man
Kovacic 7
Giroud 6
Manager:
Sarri 7
Team Score: 7 (close to an 8)
Gripe of the day: SWC wondered what you get for a £72m keeper these days, but I'd have to say our 15 minute capitulation had to be seen to be believed!
Positive of the day: 2 substitutes making a huge fiddrence. Kovacic just wanted the ball and was calm and constructive, whilst Hazard was sublime.
Pub Watch:
Pre match-The Brougham near Victoria Station. On the surface, a great option versus the Wetherspoons-outdoor seating in a nice location. Amstel was was a great temperature, but lacked a tad of flavour and served in a generic glass! The bottles of Peroni were warm-No bitter options, so Guiness it was and a worthy sub. The ambiance was rather spoiled by a stream of beggers and the toilets were fucking evil-lovely looking pub inside with diabolical toilets full of flies is inexcusable. £15 a round of 3..5/10
Post match- The Goat. You have to sit outside at this time of the year and the Goat on the Fulham Road fits the bill. The beer choices were very limited-we all settled on the Angoran Goat Lager-just over half a pint in an expensive part of Chelsea-offset by a 25% discount for Chelsea season ticket holders-£12 a round of 3. Decent service and a great place on a summer's evening to dissect the match. 7.5/10
