Since I've been following The Blue's, PK's mean one thing and one thing only: disaster. For some reason though, I had a good feeling about yesterday shootout and it turned out to go Chelsea's way. I mean 10 men for 70 minutes and being the team to force the issue is just solid soccer karma. But that's not the main story here. Since apparently FSC thought Serie A is more important than the Carling Cup, I had to watch a stream of the game on the computer, which wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have the worst fucking internet luck in the world. It follows me everywhere. In New York, it was terrible, figured it was just Time Warner just fucking with me to get us to upgrade. So when I moved back down to the house in Boca, figured I would at least getting better connection..nay. I could plug an ethernet cable from my comp into a server at AT&T headquarters and I'm positive it'd still be bad. So on Ruiz's shot, I had no clue if it went in or not, but heard the crowd cheer which is always a positive sign for a home game.
Game notes:
-The first half was pretty bad to watch, streaming wise. Froze during McEachran's try and Sturridge's offside call, so can't give a fair assessment on it. But from what I could see, McEachran played well and it was good to finally see him get some run.
-Thought a straight red for Alex was bullshit. Definitely got all ball first, a PK was even questionable, but I'm biased. Either way, it definitely altered the tactic's/sub's the rest of the game. Good to see AVB make solid adjustments and changes.
-My boy Lukaku played too well not to find the net, but it's coming for him. Kid worked and played very hard and it's gonna pay off for him soon. Believe dat. Luiz and Romeu also were studs, youngbloods got game.
-Classic this season Frank missing the first PK. Guy is struggling. Also on the struggling note, Flo is just amazingly unreliable. He is the literal definition of a Jekyll and Hyde player
-Overall good win for the mentality of the team and even better the young players had a big hand in it
