Bruno's picked the wrong game to be off it. He's late on everything.

Offside.

He's the one player I wouldn't really complain about, he's barely getting a touch. The one time he got on the ball he played Miley in and he should have scored.

VAR handball check. They are getting desperate now.

Burn man.

The lack of self belief is not a pretty sight. We look shit scared of them.

It's almost obscene.

Have you seen the way we're playing?

What an awful pen. Put it in probably the only place Dubravka could reach it.

LOL

Penalty - he fell over 5 mins later.

Might be just off.

Looks close like.

He's been shocking for a while now, not stepping up at all. Bruno's been sloppy as well tbh.

Wilson wasn't going to do much tonight anyway, but he would have probably fancied his chances against the mackems. It's beyond annoying.

Just doesn't feel right when most of the team have been playing twice a week and probably more in need of a break than him. Anyway you would like to think even if he's not fit he'd be around the squad with two big games coming up.

Burn is fine if we are sitting deep like in Howe's first season during the relegation fight, not really sure how he can avoid getting roasted if we press forward and they get the ball in behind us on that side.

Not meaning to undermine Trippier's value to us, even if he's had a bad few weeks, he's still a class act, and if I'm not wrong he's up there with the best for assists this season. But at least we've got a good replacement in Livramento, but when you consider the options up front it's pretty miserable. A half fit Isak or an exhausted Gordon are what we have available. Unless you count Joelinton, but I don't think he's seen as a striker any more.

Not that bothered about Trippier because at least we've got cover in Tino. Wilson's latest setback is one too many for me. Next season we need to bring in some genuine competition.

I guess we'll find out in a couple of hrs.

There's no problem with intensity or the pressing game, that's how we want to play our football. But as you go up the levels, a hard running Miggy is only going to get you so far no matter how enthusiastically he presses.

I'm getting those vibes as well. It's great when you are winning, but realistically can you build a CL side just featuring home grown players?

That's how Salah usually gets his goals against us as well.

Sorry, just catching up. Is Miggy not in the squad tonight then?

Has he actually shown that over an extended period of time though? If he had the composure and end product I don't think Chelsea would contemplate letting him go.
