Chelsea v NUFC

That's an excellent team performance for the first half, ugly but effective.
Think miggy heard you keggy, that was some effort

0-0 half time.
 
You can really see in recent weeks that the time Howe spent studying Atletico Madrid, including going over and doing some sessions with them, has made him refine his approach somewhat since Bournemouth. For example, when a Newcastle United attack breaks down and Chelsea look to break watch how many times one of our players fouls a Chelsea defender before their move properly get going. Wood, Murphy and Guimares have all done this several times. I don't doubt Trippier's also helped bring the darker arts message across. We also now use the going down with an injury to disrupt play tactic that's generally crept into the Premier League in the last couple of years. You rotate who does it and you can really chew the clock to borrow a term from NFL. Again it's a tactic right out of the Simeone play book.
