And why would Chelsea send him to a direct rival when they can send him to Crystal Palace?

There's no way Chelsea would do that deal to us on same terms if at all.

This is embarrassing.

Lovely post.

And that elite CB search must have postponed our search for elite RW as we didn’t have the PSR room for both. Just disappointing that neither seems to happen now.

Everyone would be fine with Schär as the starter but the bad injuries to both Botman and Lascelles put us in an a mess. It’s not a mess if Schär can stay fit and no Europe should help with that but having Krafth start 15-20 games in the league this season would cost us quite a few points IMO. If Botman was fit we should be fine with just Kelly coming in but that injury meant we needed to look for that elite long-term Schär replacement one summer earlier.

Yeah, it’s not a problem but he is old and injury to him would really leave us short, especially if neither Burn or Kelly can’t play on the right.

They'll get a maximum of two games before the pitchforks are out.

Yes.

Lascelles and Krafth are RCB.

Obviously it's a failure and I never said it wasn't but the money not spent this window will absolutely be spent in the future windows, 100% guaranteed.

What gives you the perception that our new owners are not willing to spend money?

It's disappointing but with these owners and in the world of PSR we know that this money will be spent in future windows instead of going to our owners pockets.

If you exclude the hysteria around this window, what has exactly been the problem with our transfer business?

And the underlying stats still said we were unlucky and should have done better even with all the injuries. It's mind-boggling, embarrassing and depressing that this shit has already started again.

Nah mate, we were very fortunate because they scored from a long throw and missed couple of penalties.

I'm not saying that everything is perfect but to call today's performance 'absolute garbage' or even fortunate is bed-wetting at its best, like leaving the atmosphere grade. We'll look much better when we are starting Schär-Burn or hopefully Schär-Guehi/someone else soon with zero disrespect to Burn and Krafth.

I’m vey happy to say that things are very much ok and it could be much worse performance-wise.

I saw their squad called better than ours here couple of days ago.

Did Forest have any chances outside of set pieces? I’m drawing a blank here.

Thought he was good, shame we lost him but can’t help it.

I don’t see much wrong with that performance. We had plenty of chances and can’t really remember them having any outside the long throw. How the game turned after their goal was also a great example of momentum and change of balance. We were leading after 20 seconds so there was no need to take massive risks or push high, especially with this CB pairing. Immediately after they scored there was only one team looking for the winner.

We had a touch in the box after 20 seconds when Willock scored.

Unbelievable that he lost both coin tosses, can we still change the captain?
