So no VAR then?

Haarvetz a bit lucky, his elbow certainly leading there.

The Russian bots have got no sense of humour.

Oof. Nearly.

Wood hasn't found a team mate with a pass yet.

If we had 3 or 4 of our missing players on the pitch maybe.

He'd have used it to heat a doner.

Our ball retention is horrific.

The thicko commentary duo still don't seem to have realised that our team has been decimated by illness and injuries, this isn't the side which has been on that impressive run.

What midfield?

Sky commentary team totally overlooking our missing midfield. They really are shite at their job.

Worst possible timing as well.

I don' think there'll be much expected from him re influencing the game today, if he can help stop Chelsea playing, it will be job done for him.

Yeah he's class. I hope he doesn't end up at Man U. Always had a soft spot for him since he revealed he would have been interested in the job at Newcastle even when we were a joke club under Ashley.

The team line ups still haven't been shown on Sky yet, it's still the Woe is Chelsea show.

I know he's better off on loan, but this game would have been perfect for him to come off the bench.

Well if you know one thing about Almiron it's that he won't be found wanting for effort. He'll run from the first minute to the last.

Sky not really talking football much yet, it's all about Chelsea's future as a mighty CL club.

I'm writing it off tbh, only plus for me is if we are going to be decimated by injuries, might as well be this game rather than Thursday. Although no guarantees we'll have the players back by then.

Got to feel for Tuchel a bit having to fend off questions about the politics.

Could be a clue as to why PIF appointed Beheddie Howe.

Yeah but it's still a kick in the nackers. I suppose this game is one we probably wouldn't have got a win from anyway, even a point would have been a good result.

Wow, the entire midfield which has been in form during that fantastic run has been replaced.

Both probably belong in the chat forum tbh.
