Aryaman

00:00:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello everyone, welcome to the Daily Chelsea podcast.
Chelsea's Victory Over West Ham Discussed
00:00:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's one week late, but our post-match reaction to West Ham 1, Chelsea 5, a huge win in a big London derby to put more pressure on ex-Chelsea boss, Graham Potter.
00:00:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
You're listening to Martin and Sabs, and over the next 10 minutes or so, we're going to reflect on the game. What were the things we learnt? What still concerns us? um Saps, welcome. A good, really, a really good early away victory to start the new season.
Analysis of West Ham's Early Goal
00:00:50
Aryaman
Yeah, needed, needed after that nil-all draw at Trish Labellis.
00:00:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah, no, definitely. And and a fast start as well. Lucas Pakatar put West Ham in front. um i I mean, your reaction...
00:01:06
Aryaman
back Yeah.
00:01:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah yeah i' i'm not actually I think it's one of those sometimes where you just have to clap and go, a good goal.
00:01:13
Aryaman
Yeah, yeah but sorry for science have done better.
00:01:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
um you know a lot more
00:01:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Could who have done better?
00:01:20
Aryaman
Sanchez?
00:01:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah it's tough. It's tough to know you know how much it's moving.
00:01:26
Aryaman
Yeah.
00:01:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And it's always, you know, when you're sort of 30 yards out, I mean, I think he runs past about two or three different, um different well, the Chelsea midfield and Chelsea defence.
Chelsea's Equalizer and Tactical Strengths
00:01:38
Aryaman
Yeah, we actually lost the ball, I think.
00:01:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then just,
00:01:40
Aryaman
We lost to Estabal.
00:01:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
yes Esteval lost the ball which probably didn't help his help his confidence but um uh he did he did have an assist later on in the match um and then when you see sort of a 30 yard thunderbolt you do sometimes just uh just clap and go fair play but you're right Sanchez um uh seemed to actually flap with the wrong hand for me actually it was uh
00:01:43
Aryaman
Yeah.
00:01:54
Aryaman
Yeah.
00:02:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was one where, because it was going to his left, I actually thought he should have tried to stick out his left hand.
00:02:11
Aryaman
yeah
00:02:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
But for some reason, he he tries to stick out his more confident right hand, I guess, um and then didn't get didn't get onto it. um But that was in the sixth minute. João Pedro equalized nine minutes later um from a corner.
Chelsea's Dominance and VAR Rulings
00:02:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Again, your thoughts on set pieces, your thoughts on João Pedro?
00:02:33
Aryaman
um Brilliant, amazing again. And with the number of, I think we had four corners and we scored three goals from those those corners. So I think we've been working on our set pieces really well with the way that we form inside the box.
00:02:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
one
00:02:47
Aryaman
And I think it's always either the near post flick ons that they win or it's the second post finish.
00:02:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes.
00:02:54
Aryaman
ah It's a header in. So that's what happened as well. Cuckoo flicked it and...
00:02:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes.
00:03:00
Aryaman
Jao Petro was at the right spot and he's always he's always there at the right spot, to be really honest with you. easy his His record is going really well, scoring good goals. I'm really happy with him.
00:03:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no, I've got to say that Mark Kukurea flick on at the near post was, um as you say, ah you can't say that's by accident. It was it wouldnt yeah it was near perfection to sort of definitely touch it on to Gerard Pedro and Gerard Pedro
00:03:20
Aryaman
It was planned.
Controversy and Chelsea's Second Goal
00:03:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
did the rest.
00:03:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
um you've then You've got to say, i think Chelsea generally from that point looked looked more comfortable. um you know
00:03:38
Aryaman
Yeah.
00:03:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Two minutes later, i say that, two minutes later, West Ham did actually have the ball in the back of the net to make it 2-1 West Ham. um But that was um that was ruled out through VAR being an offside. So that sort of heart-in-mouth moment aside...
00:03:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
From 1-1 onwards, Chelsea looked like they were pretty much in full control. And the stats at the end of the the game paint that picture as well. 60% possession. Yeah.
00:04:08
Aryaman
yeah
00:04:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
um 12 shots, seven on target, and of the seven on target, five were goals. So a pretty resounding resounding victory.
00:04:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Eight minutes after Gerard Pedro
Chelsea Secures Lead by Halftime
00:04:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
equalised, Chelsea scored their second through Pedro Neto.
00:04:23
Aryaman
yeah
00:04:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Your thoughts on that one, Saps?
00:04:32
Aryaman
a it was i mean, um the better net of goal was actually really good. the He finished it first time, that was the best part because he he twisted his body around and he's got it perfectly on the bounce, which is really hard to do as well when you're coming inside the field.
00:04:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes.
00:04:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:04:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:04:48
Aryaman
And it was a really good goal, to be honest.
00:04:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:04:51
Aryaman
but But in the build-up though, what do you think about that?
00:04:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
mean
00:04:56
Aryaman
I
00:04:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
um As in the ball played to him.
00:05:00
Aryaman
yeah i think it was a controversy there as well because Chaloba kind of...
00:05:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Yeah, I'm very happy with that.
00:05:06
Aryaman
Yeah, I don't think it was anything.
00:05:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no, I think that's that's West Ham looking for a favour there.
00:05:14
Aryaman
Yeah.
00:05:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
um You're right. So for listeners who who um who ah haven't got it to to hand, the controversy was Chalabar in in playing the ball in potentially fouled Lucas Pakatar to get the ball.
00:05:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I think it was just a case of being slightly stronger and almost sort of uses his body to block him.
00:05:35
Aryaman
Yes.
00:05:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then Pakatar uses that really just to fall to the floor. But I don't see much malice in it. um And if anything, I think is it's a 50-50. That's when, you know, 51-49 in Chelsea's favour. I don't see that as a as ah as a foul. um I see that the bigger the bigger problem there, which West Ham probably won't want to admit to, is Aaron Wan-Bissaka is...
00:06:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
has totally forgotten to do any defending, which is where Pedro Neto manages to so to beat him on the right-hand side to to tap that in.
00:06:10
Aryaman
Yeah.
00:06:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Which, were actually, as soon as that happened, I had to take Aaron Mbissaka out of my fantasy team because he was originally in my fantasy team, main mainly for his attacking prowess. But um defensively, he he had a bad, bad game this game for West Ham.
00:06:21
Aryaman
please
00:06:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. That is two. It then became three, 10 minutes later. Enzo Fernandez.
00:06:35
Aryaman
yeah
00:06:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Again, sort of right place, right time. I think all the hard work really was done by Stavall here with um on the right-hand side. And then really a tap in from two yards out.
00:06:47
Aryaman
Yeah, it was good and that makes Esthava our youngest player to ever assist get an assist in the Premier League.
00:06:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:55
Aryaman
think he does, yeah.
00:06:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
And also, um again, you know, I've just done Enzo Fernandes a discredit there by saying it's a tap in from two yards out. You've still got to be there.
00:07:04
Aryaman
yeah Yeah, you gotta be there.
00:07:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And he did a good job, good job in in getting there. And again, beating beating his man who, again, I think was Aaron Wan-Bissaka, which meant Chelsea...
00:07:17
Aryaman
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, which meant Chelsea went into the break 3-1 up.
Second Half: Chelsea Seals the Win
00:07:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
And just after this short break, we will talk about the second half.
00:08:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Welcome back to the Daily Chelsea podcast. You're listening to Martin and Saps reviewing the five one demolition of West Ham. um The second half really killed it very, very quickly within 10 minutes.
00:08:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Moises Caicedo scored Chelsea's fourth on the 54th minute and then Trevor Chalabas scored Chelsea's fifth on the 58th minute um and already without an hour being played five goals conceded you saw many many West Ham fans streaming out of the London Stadium um thinking probably it would get worse than than the 5-1 but it stayed at five one um your If we take each of those in turn, again, two corners, as as you mentioned.
00:08:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
If we start with Moises Caicedo's one, that was an Enzo Fernandes in swinging corner. um Right place, right time or more skill to it from Caicedo?
00:09:06
Aryaman
Now right place side time again. He finds the ball exactly where he's dropping and he's kind of sliced the ball into the net.
Praise for Chelsea's Corner Tactics
00:09:15
Aryaman
a bit of luck there as well.
00:09:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:16
Aryaman
Here's the under underside of the crossbar.
00:09:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:19
Aryaman
But again, it's because of all the players that are inside the box causing all that confusion, causing all the ah that, you know, they're trying to stress the defenders out and that's that's how we we got the goal and that's what happens for all the corners as well.
00:09:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, again, you've as you say, sometimes the art with corners is just getting bodies in there to, as you say, cause that cause that frenzy.
00:09:41
Aryaman
Yeah.
00:09:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then if it drops to you at the right place, right time, you create your own luck as well um and just stuck his toe out. And and thankfully, thankfully it went in um ah Nearly deja vu um four minutes later, but just from the other side, it was a a Pedro Neto in swinging corner from from the near side. Again, a bit of a melee, you know, a couple of bounces between players and defenders.
00:10:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
But then it fell very nicely to to Trevor Chalabar. um Your thoughts on that goal?
00:10:18
Aryaman
Again, it's just because of the commotion that our players make inside the box. That even if we don't win the first header, we don't win the second header. At least our players are there backing up for the ball.
00:10:29
Aryaman
And that's what happened and it paid off. It paid off again.
00:10:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:10:32
Aryaman
And that was 5-1. And i in in hindsight, I think it should have ended maybe like 6-1, 7-1 because the chances kept coming on.
00:10:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:10:39
Aryaman
And we should have been a little more clinical. But yeah, it's just a step on. But 5-1 is a very good result actually.
Podcast Conclusion and Future Topics
00:10:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes, very strong result.
00:10:48
Aryaman
yeah
00:10:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
And also a wonderful redemption story, actually, for Trevor Chalaba, considering he was really frozen out as an academy product, pure profit from a couple of transfer windows ago.
00:10:52
Aryaman
yeah
00:10:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
um a very nice redemption story for him, which tees up very nicely. Tomorrow's podcast, we'll have one on the transfer window special, incomings and outgoings. So join us then for that.
