That looks like it's off Burn's shoulder. Wow.

Great run from lil Joe. Start him ffs

Longstaff would have invited pressure then fallen over and surrendered the ball.

Trippier please close down that cross.

Good ball Gordon. Burn has to score.

All of a sudden we have outlets down both sides and they can't just sit on us.

Barnes to fucking Gordon.

Different position nonce brigade win!

Fuck off!

Madueke dream well and truly dead ...

Semenyo woukd walk into our starting XI at the moment 

Just a basic Championship winger that takes people on and has a bit of pace instantly upgrades our right side.

It's actually embarrassing.

Murphy and Longstaff are abysmal. Even worse when working together.

Bournemouth have built all their confidence off of the pair of them messing up and the crowd jeering them and feeding off it.

Another play breaks down on the right.

Another counter attack we almost concede from.

Why did Longstaff not be stronger there rather than falling over like a fanny

Because that's what he always does.

Barely 5 mins into the second.

More shitty play from Murphy and Longstaff.

Trippier starting just about made Longstaff with Murphy/Almiron on the right functional going forward.

Right now it just looks impossible to build anything through midfield with that side completely ineffective.

It's absolutely horrendous.

Murphy is so bad

 

But when you say we're better off playing either Barnes or Gordon there, you have some clown talking about different position nonce brigade.

Perfect. We'll keep watching this instead.

Right on cue another horrid combination down the right.

Gordon getting all the flack so far but we don't have a right wing until Isak moves there briefly every so often

 

 

What the fuck was that as well murphy

 

That right side invites so much pressure from how poor it is.

Even when Joelinton gets tackled he is facing that side looking for someone to pass to, and both Longstaff and Murphy are nowhere to be found.

Biggest issue is that Gordon and Bruno don't seem at full fitness yet but overall we just seem a bit flat so far this season. A lack of new signings and new ideas.

Makes the issues down the right that much more glaring when Gordon isn't flying.

What the heck just happened there

Trod on his finger.

Longstaff and Murphy/Almiron In tandem on that right side makes games so disjointed and difficult.

Longstaff is far too easy to bully off the ball for a midfielder like 

He is so depressing.

Doesn't ever bend his knees and make a wider nast to hold people off.

Good defending by Krafth there.

That Evanilson is dangerous.

Why is Kelly playing so hard for people to grasp?

They are overly enamoured with what Hall does going forward.

And are completely trivialising the defensive side of things.

This is just an assumption more than anything else, but I wouldn't be surprised if Hall is being benched by defualt in the league going forward, unless there are more injuries.

He isn't being benched. He was never seen as a starter. He came in due to injuries.

Even when he signed, he was spoken of as one for the future.

He's done well enough that he's made the back up position his, and the likes of Targett are now expendable.

He'll still get first team opportunities, but in games and at times that are more beneficial for him, and he will continue to develop.

Why can't Hall be allowed to develop? He's massively talented and saved us a goal last weekend with his clearance so he has defensive qualities too. How many other players make mistakes and are still selected the next game (rightly or wrongly)? Yet Hall is dropped after one game. My frustration and fear is the dent this will do to Hall's confidence and start to feel like a liability who isn't trusted. I know he's 19 but if you're good enough you're old enough, its kind of irrelevant because he's played at one of the biggest clubs in Chelsea no problem and part of his quality is his almost swagger and quality on the ball. Kelly is good, but this was my fear when he was bought and Hall's game time will once again be limited this season. 

What makes you think he can't develop because he isn't starting every week?

We aren't Brighton. We're not going to be following their model.

We are aiming to be back in the top 4 and last time we achieved that it was based on a rock solid defence.

Kelly is the starting left back and Hall his deputy.

Been saying this since Kelly signed.

Hall started the first game as Kelly was behind him match fitness wise during pre season.

After the drop of defensively last season, was never convinced Hall would automatically start this season, when Kelly is so much better defensively.
