So Chelsea have successfully manage to squeeze out a win from their cup tie against Newcastle. It was quite a game though but at first didn't expect Chelsea to actually qualify at the hands of Newcastle united but it seems Newcastle united are still struggling although they they had a comfortable win against Fulham during their weekend clash but this night was not good for them as Chelsea manage to equalized their first half lead and win the game on penalties.
The commitment of Chelsea's team tonight was something fascinating to watch and if only they can maintain consistency in with this commitment shown tonight against Newcastle they might be favourite to lifting the carabao cup this time. The mudryk and Nkuku sub was a classic super sub that changed the whole game increasing the pressure on Newcastle defense forcing trippier to make the defensive error that brought about the equalizer by Mudryk right at 90+2 minutes of the added time.
Chelsea started meaning business with striking the moment that lazy Jackson was removed. I mentioned on the weekend games against Sheffield that wonders will happen when Broja is played to support Nkunku. The pressure on Newcastle defense immediately Nkunku entered is what they couldn't contain because himself and Broja had that force to destabilise defense which Led to the confusion on the Newcastle player and Modryk was very smart to take advantage of that expensive error.
Pochettino should learn his lessons now or face sack as coach. His favoritism on this Jackson boy that doesn't contribute anything to the squad should be dropped so Chelsea can continue on a winning streak. I'd love to see that come to pass. Chelsea played better with enthusiasm tonight and even fought back relentlessly to secure this win and I give them credit, but a lot of work is needed on the team. They need more improvement in their communication and positioning on the pitch.
