Chelsea responded very well and they've been playing well. The offside trap was well kept but Cucurellla failed to make his moves smarter.
I'm suspecting the game to end as a draw, we'll see no more goals in the second half in my own opinion.
I feel like the lad Alexander Isak has been rushed into the lineup too quickly, good positioning and timing for that goal. Chelsea also have to invest in a new Goalkeeper.
Normally Chelsea suppose to win this game but the way things are going, I think the opposite will be the case. This is not the Chelsea that played draw with Manchester city because what a poor performance so far! Nothing is accurate this first half. I just don't like how Pochettino has to gamble with one player every game. Why having Ugochukwu in midfield? Why couldn't he allow the team to be a set as they have been playing and then introduce a substitute depending on how the game develops? In fact, ugochukwu should be rightly replace because he's too weak in this game. Gallagher can just help himself to be calm and make decisions that might result to goal or assist. So many mistakes to correct in the second half else Newcastle will takeaway the whole 3 points or end draw as you predicted. Let's just watch out for the second half and see how both teams will make things look.
