Proper naive management by Emery.

Emery learning why teams don't play with two out and out strikers

Resisting the urge to say he's shite and should be sold and replaced with Delap.

Good result proper chuffed for Eddie he needed the players to react and that's exactly what he's got. We do usually seem up for it against so called big teams at home though so we have to find ways of channeling that against smaller sides and especially away from home. Also very pleased to see him using the squad and particularly pleased for Long staff who had a good game.

They were well within their rights to haggle with us mind, it's just the way they went about it which was annoying as fuck.

I reckon we have to sell Isak in the summer as well so getting a replacement for him will be key, obviously DCL would be poor in that regard as he isn't close to Isaks ability.

Dcl will be a last resort option for us and him. Remember he didn't come this summer because he wanted too much money.

We aren't getting Guler or David like.

What's going on with Barnes? I wonder if Eddie isn't a fan.

Think he's finished personally. Trippier that is.

Rumour has it benfica are still laughing that Chelsea gave them 100m for Enzo.

We've gone 5 at the back big Joe playing rwb

Bit worrying this.

We've taken our foot off the gas since our second goal mind, need to focus on the task at hand. Gordon has been quiet as well.

Playing Bruno's role and looking a lot better than Bruno has recently.

Chelsea's stiffs are absolutely shit.

Lovely!

Maresca has picked the pick fully rotated team with no restrictions in FM hasn't he?

That's why Isak didn't square at the weekend.

Sounds like I'm watching Chelsea TV.

Can't sleep so here we are, lets have these cunts.

We need to get rid of him ASAP. break out of this stupid cycle we have somehow found ourselves in.

So this is a big question mark that needs to be resolved imo. Is it he/we as a team press in a manner which isn't efficient? Is it a lack of application on his part? Is it poor strength and condition preparing?

A high press shouldnt be the sole focus of play, competent and capable teams set pressing traps and funnel play to certain areas of the pitch and when it back in those areas. The fact we default to doesn't run enough is pretty dire. If you have a world class player which we know we do the manager should be looking to get the most out of him by employing tactics which suits him not binning him off for some inferior because he runs a bit.
