Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle United (19/12/23) Chelsea win 4-2 on penalties

[pubteam]

Hate to say it but tripper needs to earn his place back in the team. Tino is levels above him on current form.

[duo]

Can't find the remote to switch this off

Trippier knocks us out

 

Fucking hell.

He needs a holiday or something. Just wtf is going on

[wormy]

The forum breaking for me at the final pen couldn't have been more perfect, too.

[buzz]

Just need the confirmation that our medical goons failed to treat Botman's underlying swelling and he needs surgery after all now to make the night complete

[Conjo]

Just feel bad for Trippier. He must feel like shit. Hopefully the fans can rally behind him and give him the lift he needs rather than tear him further down than he already is.

[mikejaxer]

Honestly just fuck this season man.

 

Let me know when it's August.

[OoOGazOoO]

Tripps really does need some time off. Yes, majority of them are knackered and have played loads, but it seems deep for Tripps at the moment, he is absolute country miles away from where he usually is, looks completely broken. He needs taking out the firing line.

[Jill]

Such an air of grim predictability about this after the CL. 

[black_n_white]

Tripps self exploded that league cup tie

[LiquidAK]

Ah that's sickening. Boys ran themselves into the ground. Could barely press from around the 30th minute.

 

I'm so proud of them tbh

[hakka]

This phase of the season is punishing. Other teams able to bring on class subs who win the games while our battle scarred warriors having to slug through this fatigued, carrying knocks and can't get a break.

 

We haven't lost on heart or talent. Circumstances are overwhelming for first XI to sustain, despite having some success still.

[Hanshithispantz]

Chelsea are fucking terrible fwiw 

 

At this point we're probably going to have to start tactically throwing games. We're just penned in constantly every game at some point completely incapable of retaliating.

[toon25]

Been a fucking unlucky season to say the least 

[Kimbo]

Team looked fucked physically all game tbh. This season is a nightmare.

I knew that....

[SUPERTOON]

Let’s not go overboard on the trippier criticism, been incredible since signing.

[Stottie]

Gutted! So near!

 

That's football I suppose.

[Beren]

Really, really poor from Howe (said it when we were winning also).

 

So disappointing.

 

Going into a game where you're knackered, they're not, the aim has to be to bring them down to your energy level - not increase the disparity by chasing shadows with eleven barely fit players. Absolute mad tactics.

 

 

 

 

[Numbers]

Realisation that we are miles away from where we need to be when we're still playing the likes of Richie, im sure hes a lovely bloke but he was done 3 years ago.

 

Trippier needs dropping for a bit, been a liability lately.

Lose to Sunderland and that's the trifector

[BlueStar]

Never seen a steward helping a pitch invader who pushed an opposing player to escape before.

[Checko]

Almost Pardewed the shit out of them but wasn't to be. We didn't deserve to win but still pretty gutting.

 

It's getting a bit annoying that teams only have to press us with moderate intensity and we can't play at all.

He had 6 days off basically as well.

[nortoon]

Feels as harsh as against PSG this. It feels almost worse that Chelsea are allowed to go through. Cheating bastards with their red card tackles and diving. Bringing on hundreds of millions in subs whereas we can bring on Matt Ritchie.

 

Players make mistakes and Trippier has been amazing for us.
