He's looking amateurish at times like.

No excuse for this like. Arsenal played mid week and are running us off the park.

Some of the natural levels of these players are being exposed. I think the question some of us have is, is the natural level of the manager being exposed? Almiron for example. How can we say he had a purple patch and is now pretty poor without applying the same logic to Eddie? The only way to find out is if we stick with him and see how he does in the medium term.

It's getting harder and harder not to have concerns like. I still think he can turn it around but it's been rancid lately.

Eddie mentioned last week how we were reactive rather than proactive. I found that a bit ironic considering he brought on Tino when it was obvious Burn was going to get skinned for pace every time. Not quite sure what's going on but we look burnt out with still half a season to go.

There shouldn't be no excuses for this like. These were joint bottom at the start of the day. I've got no idea why the players shit themselves when were playing away from home.

I hope so. Feels to me when we get stuck in this sort of rhythm we can never do a 'Liverpool' and find a way to win.

.

I agree. Noticed this last night. There were times when I just wanted us to do a bit more sideways passing to make the Chelsea players run a bit more but we seemed to be going very direct every time and it was taking a toll on energy levels. We need to be wearing teams down a bit more and let them do the running.

Trippier was being rested, then the dirty scum that is Chelsea injured Krafth. Eddie's left with a dilemma then. Move Tino to RB and bring on Hall or Dummett or go with Tripps. He's went with what on paper should have been the better choice. Obviously it hasn't worked but there's definitely rationale behind the decision. We've been so fucking unlucky this season like. Chelsea should have at least been down to 10 men after 2 minutes, possibly 9 with the challenge on Krafth.

Got a good tackle on him as well as silky feet. Thought he done really well. Says something when one of our best players was a 17 year old kid.

Yeah think there might be something going on behind the scenes. Hope he can sort it out because I love the lad.

As usual. Bang on the money.

Yeah. He just randomly stopped play when we were in possession to check for them.

Honestly speechless at that being a pen. How the fuck was that even remotely a handball ?

100% agree. Disappointed but definitely nothing to be too angry at. Arsenal was a slog of a game, we have 8 players injured and Dortmund are no mugs. Add that together and it's no surprise really. Let's just enjoy the CL ride as long as we can

Think Arsenal fans are forgetting the way their players behaved in 2003 after the Van Nistelrooy penalty miss. A few shoves from Bruno was nothing compared to the way their players behaved that day.

Strong as an ox. Deceptively so.

He just never puts a foot wrong nowadays. He's become elite.

Sees the red mist in the heat of battle. Some players are like that. He needs to work on that like because it's nothing but a weakness in his game.

It did seem to be almost sped up in real time. It was like it had a disproportionate amount of power than my brain was expecting

Chelsea are nowt to fear like but could be a potential banana skin.

Picks out sweet passes fairly often but work to be done defensively at times. All really good signs though. He's a a real talent who just need's more experience in decision making. He's gonna be class.

I can't understand why Burn is undroppable to be honest. I love Eddie but sometimes his reluctance to change anything until at least 70 mins does grate on me.

Tend to agree. I'm not writing him off by any means but at times he's looked absolutely hopeless. Positionally poor, tackling not great and seems like he wants absolutely no time on the ball. Gets rid of it as soon as he touches it. Hoping its a confidence issue and he comes good but he's just not at the level required.
