There comes a point (and I think we passed it a while ago) where if the same tired players are incapable of getting a result, game after game, then we should have just played the kids and gave them a rest. That's if the issue is fatigue.

Yeah fuck the fatigue excuse, if the players are fit enough to be picked, we should be winning this on second half evidence so far. Need that belief we had last season back.

These are here to be beaten. Whether we have it in us to do that is the issue.

Think someone said "you don't get tired when you are winning games" or else I've just made that up. It's true though, we need a win to give everyone a lift and that bit of extra energy. Preferably with Isak scoring the winner.

Fuck forgot it was Saturday today...looks like I'm as sharp as the players today??

9 minutes is literally a fifth of the half. When did we last get 9 minutes when we needed it? I'll go never.

Great play from Hamer on the wing there like.

The thing is, whatever Almiron did, Trippier in his current form/headspace would still have lost us that game, just in a different situation. He could have been in uncontested possession and he'd still have gifted them an equaliser (see Everton recently). That's the way things are going for him right now. Making this about Almiron is silly. What I mean by that is, yes he probably should have taken it into the corner but we still would have conceded because that's the way we roll at the minute.

Urgh. Just what we needed to see, a Slobozslai screamer.

Whether he signs or not at the end of the season, he surely can offer more than Matt Ritchie now.

It's only worth keeping playing the same players, running them into the ground, if we are getting some benefit from it. We haven't been getting much benefit lately. We might as well just play the kids at the weekend and give the players some time to be able to compete effectively.

Played like a 33 year old veteran, La Liga winner, England international. Or how one of those should. Seriously though, Trippier's error at a crucial stage sending us out is the sort of thing you'd kind of expect from a 17 year old. But not this lad. Never fazed.

Oh fuck me.

Chelsea fans in being scum shocker.

We must be massive underdogs now, I don't give us much chance with Dubs in goal for penalties. We had the game won ffs. These are so shit we had to give them the goal even. Urgh. Fuck off.

Jail time for you you stupid cunt.

Fuck sake man. All that effort and work undone by one fucking stupid mistake. That's the way it's breaking for us this season.

What the fuck has happened to trippier. Liability defensively lately.

Despite playing such a tired team for nearly 80 minutes, getting all the decisions, getting away with 2 reds, these are still shite. We need to get that winning mentality back. it would hurt to not go through from here. Let's just do this.

We do, but I think that's more a reflection on Chelsea than us.

Imagine how much added time he's gonna give if they are still losing. Double figures incoming

Only since we took the lead?

Talk about coming on against tired legs. Nkunku could have a field day if he's actually fully fit.

All 11 defending, without the energy to actually get a foot in, or to play an accurate pass when they do get the ball back. Gonna be a long 30 minutes.

Why the fuck is Gordon still on, he's dead.
