I didn’t see the first yellow, and having watched the match back have no idea when it could’ve been given. I think the referee confused him with Hinshelwood who should’ve been booked just beforehand for an attempted drag back on Sterling around the half way line
Couple of times I wanted Mitoma to dip his shoulder and go left, seems to be his weakness. He’s great going inside or out when wide, but centrally his style to nearly always cut inside and look for a through pass.
This is more of the same from the end of last season - first half didn’t impress...
Dahoud’s long passing is generally something we don’t have, except for Dunk, but he has lost possession and caused Chelsea counter attacks a few times. The truth is it’s very early to say
The thing is with Hinshelwood is he’s obviously nervous of f***ing up, everything is sideways and backwards going forward. Yet he’s done well defensively, good block and header on the retreat. Quite impressed overall. This is what pre-season is for!
Mitoma however… I don’t know but seems...
What are they saying? Planned to join in just on kick-off as I don’t want friendlies as a rule; I just really miss the Albion. This is a very special season no matter the outcome.
