Smal

back to his best in terms of value on the ball today:

extremely Argentine performance from Chelsea, this

fair play to Lascelles tbh. Made a few errors but at least he has the confidence to keep trying to play out.

Joelinton has been fine apart from a couple of Joelinton moments

he can’t play for a decent team, I’m afraid. Howe is trying to make us have more of the ball and the goalkeeper needs to be a reliable passing option. Pope is an absolute bomb scare.

Big Jo really can’t do sitters, like

keeper?

Jam trying to be Schar didn’t go so well there

‘kin hell, how’s Miley seen that pass

Miggy looks kind of knackered already

I don’t think Southgate would’ve told him to play like he has done in these two games. He wasn’t playing in any particular role or position… just walking around and fucking the shape up. Hopefully it’s the end of that experiment.

nowt wrong with that at all, like

Trent has just spent both games walking round doing trivelas and nothing at all of use. Fantastic player but absolutely cannot play for England.

He can stay fit if his minutes are managed. We haven’t been able to do that because of Isak’s injury.

Pretty sure he was just watching Vasco (who he supports) and commenting on this

Pretty much season over with all these injuries

Pope has to save that

they’ve pretty much pinned us into our full back positions. Need to get more players centrally as that’s where the space is. Willock pretty much anonymous unfortunately.

All our non-injured first framers look absolutely knackered unsurprisingly

if we were to start loaning players at our convenience from the KSA league, especially from the teams owned by PIF, we would be for all intents and purposes though, wouldn't we?

the multiclub model is absolutely rancid like. If it takes us to trigger getting it banned then so be it afaic.

produced the best pass of the game

I think they’ve been excellent against us tbh. They play a bit like us but have been a level above in our games.

Trips and Longstaff looked spent from the start. Ultimately 9 injuries + Tonali will inevitably fuck our season.
