Chelsea 8-0 FC Noah, UEFA Conference League: Post-match reaction
Yesterday at 04:57 PM
WINNER WINNER BIBLICAL FLOOD OF GOALS DINNER
There was nothing competitive about this game after about the first minute or two, though FC Noah had trouble with the opening kickoff, even, which they were ordered to retake ... so yeah.
The only real question was whether Chelsea could push for, equal, or maybe even beat our club-record victory, the famous 13-0 against Liechtenstein part-timers Jeunesse Hautcharage in the 1971 Cup Winners' Cup.
Alas, after a 6-goal first half, we would be happy enough to see out the second half without doing much of anything. The 13-0 record is safe.
"We want 10!" cried the fans. We settled for 8. And even kept a clean sheet, despite some inattentive defending late on.
It's the biggest ever victory in the very brief history of the UEFA Conference League. Making history!
Carefree.
- A bit of a random look in the first half, with just Enzo in the middle of the pitch, and everyone else either in attack or defense. Bit more balance in the second half with KDH and Casadei.
- All-out-at-will-attack rewarded in the first half; could've had 10.
- Tosin & Guiu with their first goals for Chelsea
- Felix, Nkunku could've easily had hat-tricks
- Nkunku into double-digits for the season with his 9th and 10th goals
- Enzo with a hat-trick of assists in 45 minutes
- Pro debut for Sam Rak-Sakyi!
- Next up: an actual competitive game (hopefully) against Arsenal on Sunday at home
- KTBFFH
