We were pretty good first half whilst we sustained an attacking threat, however from the restart we were pretty much just holding on. Chelsea definitely improved and began finding more intricate passing patterns which affected our shape. As others have said - our subs didn't help our cause, they were a shot in the dark and pretty much meant our only way of scoring was going to be a set piece.

Chelsea team looks really strong - but I reckon we can cause Zouma some issues who is suspect at times. Think I'll go 2-1 to Chelsea. Abraham, Willian - Clark.

Loved Merino for us like. Brilliant player to watch.

Pretty strong generalisation that man. I have had multiple lengthy stays in Eastern Europe - meeting many people along the way in which the shameful views on display in this game aren't all that prevalent as one might assume. Individuals and small groups, I'm sure. But a large collection of incredibly diverse countries should not be tarred with the same brush in this instance.

Superb defensively today.

It was Norwich tbf. Norwich will concede 80+ this season. Yeah, even we managed 1 against them.

Joselu

To be Frank, I've no idea.

It's going to happen when confidence is being sapped about the team by the week.

Fuck off Go for a quick walk round the block mate, you'll feel a lot better

Dennis iirc

Wonder what Seasick Steve's got to say after that...

Did you watch the game also?

So easy.

We're definitely not playing him in the correct position, but he really needs to sort his decision making out. It's fucking shite too often. He'll create himself some space with good feet & bursts of pace and then do absolutely nothing when presented the opportunity and followed by giving it away. Really need to see more from him imo. I'd argue Muto uses the ball better in terms of finding space, playing the pass that's on and moving forward.

We've been dire here. Can't maintain possession for more than 3 seconds. Almiron & Atsu decision making so so poor, Joelinton lost, nothing in the middle of the pitch. We're hard to watch. Can only look at the manager however, as these are professional footballers who are capable of so much more than this with the correct instruction.

I'm not so sure - Maddison has talent but he's overrated. Incredibly hit and miss player - lots of games pass him by. Harvey Barnes worries me more with his direct play - him coming up against Krafth is potential for disaster.

Looks like 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 to me

Hopefully: Krafth---Schar---Lascelles---Dummett ----------Hayden---Longstaff----------- Muto----------Almiron--------------Atsu ---------------Joelinton------------------ Hopefully not: ----Schar---Lascelles---Dummett----- Krafth------------------------------Atsu ----------Hayden---Longstaff----------- Muto-----------------------------Almiron ---------------Joelinton------------------

Watch it be the same system we usually play with Atsu playing left wing back.

Wtf are you doing in Belarus? Superb country. Genuine people, wonderful architecture, fascinating Soviet relics, President that looks like Felipe Scolari. Couldn’t recommend it more

Canny sick that I put time aside to watch that whilst in Minsk on a Saturday evening.

Good bench.

Lost 3 on the spin now - without a win in 4.
