This chap always has been a Championship player, he’s consistently crap.

Will make a couple of showreel saves here and there, but he makes just as many howlers.

Not even good enough as a back up. I’m sure we look so much more composed with Dubravka in goal, just his presence and talking.

Nuno gone with a defeat ? 

Not really sure what Spurs are expecting to do at the moment.

What would be a good season for them? A trophy and top 6 finish? Or a top four finish on it’s own?

Because he’s pretty much meeting that atm, they have a decent shout at the League Cup.

Or do they want/expect more than that? If so, they’ve got no chance.

A perfect result really, keeps Ole in a job for a little while longer

We'll still be the hot topic no doubt, I greatly suggest they worry about their own problems

Games in hand marra.

Match fixing gonna send us down to League One or something daft?

 The crowd sarcastically cheering the shot on goal.

Our support is grim these days. Hope these bunch of idiots are replaced with those who left during the Ashley years.

Darlow is pathetic

If you think we can hold out like that for 90 mins your deluded, we will concede within 10 mins of the restart 

More expert knowledge from the tactical genius.

They're good so we shouldn't aim to string more than two passes together?

Again, you’re confusing the tactical plan vs poor execution by the players.

Jones’ plan isn’t to not string to passes together, but he’s working with players with no confidence who have been Bruce’d for the last two and a half years.

Speaking personally, I'm absolutely NOT expecting "all out attack".

 

I'm expecting us to press higher up the pitch, have our best players on the park and offer a threat when we have the ball. That's very different to "all out attack".

Well the players on the pitch are getting a result, despite not taking your selection or tactical advice.

What more do you want? Did you expect a win today? 

A reminder we’ve not won a game all season, the current caretaker has had 8 days with the players and we’re playing the team top of the league who won their last game 7-0.

I do get the reasoning behind the gameplan - But as Reefa stated - I would have had ASM on the wings to have some sort of other way of getting the ball up rather than just hoofing it up

A fair point and I don’t disagree. I’d also not have several of the players on the pitch but it’s hard to criticise when we’re currently getting a result against the best team in the league.

Plan A is not working.

For Chelsea, I assume you mean?

Ours is going great.

After 40 minutes, Chelsea haven’t had a single chance. No idea how anyone can criticise this so far.

A little better execution in the attacking moves and we’ve got every chance.

It’s fairly safe to say our supporters are going to easily live up to the ‘unrealistic expectations’ tag

Benitez had a plan for what to do when we got the ball. We lack that entirely.

 

The lack of pressing outside of the last third is hindering us terribly too and we're just say back with everyone back all of the time.

No. We clearly have a plan, to get it forward to ASM/Wilson as quickly as possible.

You’re confusing the plan with the lack of execution, so far.

Thought we’ve done really well so far. Limited them to fuck all.

Similar tactics to what Benitez used to instil against top clubs and was universally praised for on here…

Soccer Saturday has been the pits for a while.

Shame there is zero competition though, all of the panels are equally horrific.

Choosing between the eye watering punditry of Robbie Savage or Tim Sherwood.

Just now, Happinesstan said:

I bet he gave a well informed explanation as to why? Or did he just say "I don't buy it" and leave it at that?

Apparently they need days off to recover.

Not sure what they need recover from though, when they had more days off than actual training and matches.

Soccer Saturday pundits are horrific.

Tim Sherwood unsurprisingly “doesn’t buy into” Jones making the players train five days

How was he not the last man there?

I still don’t get how Evans hasn’t gone there. The Arsenal player was through on goal, doesn’t matter about the distance from the goal, he was getting the ball and no Leicester player would’ve been within 10 yards of him.

Also surprised Evans wasn’t booked for the challenge on Ramsdale.

Here comes the meltdown…

How was he not the last man there?

Ramsdale clearly struggling with kicking the ball yet Arsenal insist on giving it him at every opportunity.

Miggy back to save the day.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we fluked something here, Jones making progress with the players.

People getting so worked up despite absolutely nothing to suggest Martinez is even in the running  

The media and bookies have been wrong about every move the consortium have made so far.

Just calm down and wait and see.
