Barnes needs to lace them left footers like that. I’m sure that’s the 2nd this season and 3rd I can remember. All have sliced wide.

Cole Palmer got a free kick for the same thing.

Make some fucking subs

If the first half was the best of the season. This is in keeping with the rest. Pathetic. Now make the changes when it’s too late

What the fuck are we doing

Tonali needs to sort his passing out. It’s to a Chelsea player every time. Can’t fault his workrate, mind. You never can.

What on earth. How is that not a pen?

Honestly man

Fuck me. I’m forever giving him stick. But surely you’d rather just enjoy today (so far) and the performance he’s putting in. Instead of worrying about a game that hasn’t happened yet?!

They’d have more joy if they moved Neto over there. One because of his pace. But also because even when Garnacho got half a yard. He ran the ball off 4-5 times Can’t imagine Garnacho will be coming back out this half. He was dreadful and Miley played him like a fiddle both ways.

Faded a bit. But brilliant the first 35. Popping up all over. Even when outmuscled, he’d often still win it back. Still looks to be lacking confidence with that final pass or decision. But if he keeps getting minutes. I’m confident it will come.

We sure he’s not a right back?!

Only complaint is that it should be more. I can’t see us being that dominant second half. Teams are rarely that comfortable for the full game. But we’re still creating plenty and they apparently don’t think defending is necessary. Not sure I have ever seen us that fluid and quality on the ball. To go along with the aggression in the press. A really controlled performance and our best half since….? A long while, anyway. Now please just don’t drop off and concede between 46-60 minutes.

This is the Gordon we all want. Radge, aggro Gordon. Like a different player when he’s got a chip on his shoulder.

The Gordon of old. Could tell after 30 seconds he was on it. Tearing about like a loon.

You know you can tell after 30 seconds what kind of game someone is going to have…… Been like a man possessed the first few minutes.

Was he fuck him and Murphy were the only ones creating anything. Both put in great crosses galore. If we’re going off awful last games/starts as the metric. Then Gordon wouldn’t be starting either. Was pathetic on Sunday. Anyway. I’m done moaning about the one issue I have with the team. Howe has gone with that and I’ll support the lads. Albeit from my sofa

I think their midfield looks really good and wingers and full backs will cause us no end of bother. Reece James is top class in the middle. Let’s just hope we try and play our previous gameplan. As a low block against these won’t be much fun.

Corr. Their team looks strong.

I’m sure he’ll have a good game now I’ve said it. But it fucks me off how Gordon just waltzes back in and starts. Even when Barnes has been in good form. Never gets a chance to sustain the form as Gordon always comes back in regardless. Not that arsed about the team overall, mind. It does all make sense to me and it’s strong enough with a decent bench. Big chance for Ramsey. Gordon and Woltemade need a performance with genuine options on the bench now.

Snoop Dogg reference from the commentator seems a bit dodgy…. Love the aggression shown from the keeper. But that is a double howler

Well. If at first you don’t succeed. Try 55 more times.

Who gives a dusty fuck whether or not we’re liked?! It’s only them that seem to care about their fictitious football friends around the globe. They seem more desperate to be liked by other clubs and to consider themselves morally superior to us (human rights activists since 2021 marra). As opposed to wanting to actually compete at the right end of the table/in the top league/Europe.

Why?

Yes. Because that’s how mid to long term injuries work
