Smal

Never want to see his horrible permanently pained expression again.

am actually in disbelief at just how bad it is.

We basically don't have a midfield. It's absolutely mad.

As bad as, if not worse than, anything Bruce served up.

Should be a yellow for Trossard.

We are so embarrassing with the ball

So many brainless players in this team, man.

We have at least gone for a different shape with ASM and Almiron wide.

I thought Graeme Jones was all right but I'll be glad to see the back of him after these three games. Persisting with a back three of players who can't kick a football cleanly between them is absolutely incredible.

Could “backroom staff” issues be referring to working under a DoF?

Well considering PCP have known they're going to takeover a football club for years I think it's pretty fucked that they had nobody ready to replace Lee fucking Charnley

What an absolutely farcical start for the new regime. Keeping Charnley on and letting him do the negotiations ffs . Of course Emery thinks we have no vision or project.

Bit mean not letting James take it for his hat-trick

Our forwards have been given an absolutely impossible task in this game.

Reece James is absolutely phenomenal at finishing man . His goal last week was class as well iirc.

Ciaran Clark is just absolutely dreadful.

Do you remember when we had Rafa and the line up and system would be different pretty much every week to counter specific threats? Here we are lining up the exact same way against Chelsea as we did (unsuccessfully) against Crystal Palace last week

Fucking yikes, man.

After the takeover initially failed, do you think KSA would have pursued it further if not for the enormous backing they got from the fans? If fans had instead protested their potential ownership I really doubt this would have happened. I don’t think it’s right to say that fans can’t have their say, they just didn’t want to on this occasion because a) no more Ashley and b) oceans of oil money.

Agree with the first para but the fans did get a say in it. They campaigned for this takeover. The point has been made but it’s not a coincidence that KSA chose this particular football club, with a group of fans so desperate to be rid of the previous owner that they’ll wilfully go in to bat for genocidal war criminals.

That Relatives agency must be rolling in cash.

Idk why you seem to feel so persecuted over this

Surely nobody with a reasonable rep is joining us in January. We’re really quite likely to get relegated. Especially with a World Cup coming up next winter.

hahahaha, ole's at the wheel!

Why is this so fucking funny
