Subject: [LU] Shoot the Chelsea scum
Well we certainly shot them down yesterday. As the new saying goes "
beware the sides of Marsch" That was as good as it gets, and should be a
sea change in our attitude towards Marsch - lots still resent him for
not being Bielsa but if we play like we did v chelsae he will be a fine
replacement for the great manPre game I wondered how the crowd would re-
act to another beating at the hands of the top six, would we cheer them
fron the rafters as we always did under MB or would we turn like we did
v Villa ?In the event it was a question we would not need answers to.
This was the day we became Jesse Marsch's team and I liked it
We were all action, all the time , with good moves and good football
thrown in, in front of an old fashioned English crowd - lets hope we
never lose that edge on the terraces
A dodgy start saw Sterling waltz through the defence and blast wide in
the first few minutes, then our Achilles heel come to the fore as twice
they had a spare man wide, thankfully when they found their shooting
boots the flag and then Mesliers long arms saved us from going behind.
Then roared on by the crowd , cheering every tackle , we began to
dominate and take control, knocking them off their stride and rattling
them. They could not cope with our intensity , Adams who was superb,
buzzed around and was here there and everywhere ably supported by
Aaronson who put in a real shift and Jackie H. Roca added a bit of poise
to the madness.
The first goal - not an own goal Tuchel you whinging, moaning, lying
bad loser- was great and will happen again. Aaronson gave the keeper no
time as he chased him down took the ball off him and rolled it into an
empty net. The crowd loved it , it was better than a 40 yarder!
A few minutes later a lovely bit of skill by Struik, not the answer but
growing into the left back position, ended with the ball being fed to
Roca. As he went down and the yellow card came out , I thought "
stimulation " but the card was for their player and the free kick was
ours. A lovely cross in and there was Rod to head home , brilliant, and
a goal he would never have scored last season. As my son said , as the
Moreno chant echoed round, why did we persevere with Rodrigo when we had
this Moreno chap all along. He really does look a different person
At 2 up we started to believe but last week v Southampton was st the
back of our minds.
Chelsea when we thought they would come out second half all guns blazing
, still could not get a foothold as Koch, lloremte, Struik and
Kristensen stood firm. Meslier making the odd save to keep himself
involved.
The 3rd when it came was majestic and the icing on the cake - nice ball
to James, cross fell to Rod whose shot, going wide was pounced on at
full stretch by Harrison. Then we knew we were winning this. The crowd
roared, chanted and applauded their heroics as Marsch learning from
last week made the subs, Forshaw for the tiring Roca to firm things up,
Klich to add steel and guile and cleverness, then Sinisterra and Joffy
to add the unexpected, Joffy again making a difference this time
flicking the ball over his head, laying it off and being thrown to the
floor as he went for the return pass- 2nd yellow and off the Chelsea lad
went, " with time to go" ringing in his ears
The final whistle brought more cheers as I predict a riot blasted out
with 36,000 voices joining in. What a game, what an atmosphere what a
result. Well worth the hassle of delayed trains and early start on a
Sunday
If this is what we have to look forward to under Marsch then bring it
on. It's not Bielsaball but it is fun nonetheless and he could be a
worthy successor on the pitch. This could be the game when we accept
Bielsa is gone and we get 100% behind the new manager, to be honest
it's the least he deserves if we keep playing like this .
As fans we ask for 100% commitment and effort, we are certainly getting
both this season
So brilliant stuff and will send me on my holidays with a smile in my
face ( missing Barnsley and Everton - here's hoping for a cup run and
3more home points)So we have 7pts from 3 games that brought only 1 in
the corresponding fixtures last season, that's got to be good. Brighton
will be tough but no reason we cant get at least a point
DaveVery happy today MOT
