I think Tino’s stunk the place out, our goal aside. 


He’s been fine and hard to blame him for the goal either, it’s just brilliance from Palmer. Tino takes one step to cut the likelier pass to Neto and Palmer launches it behind him inch-perfectly.

Actually a really good performance overall I thought.

 

Tino has been class. The teamwork and play for the goal was fantastic. Really good vision by everyone.

 

The goal we conceded was infuriating. Just pure laziness by Schar to dive in rather than Marshall him out wide. Bit of a tendency of the whole team to slide on your arse for a tackle you can't make rather than defend.

 

Our CB pairing has to be amongst the most unathletic in the league.

 

Glad Isak got a goal, looks a bit sharper. Could get something out of this with a similar performance second half. Need fewer mental mistakes primarily.

Schar is trying to foul him and take the yellow. He’s clearly never catching Neto in a foot race.

What? 😂

 

Schar more at blame for the goal imo as that pass was world class from Palmer.

 

Neto hasn't properly done him for pace yet either.

 

For all his other faults, he's the one player who has the pace to keep up with the Chelsea forwards.

Weird half, feel like we're lucky to be level, defensively we've been poor, especially in the first 25 minutes, there are gaps all over the pitch which Palner has been able to drift in, but at the same time we've also done some good last ditch defending. Offensively we've actually caused them a few problem, whenever we've been able to sting two passes together that is. Would be tempted to bring Kelly on for Joelinton and go 3-4-3. 

 

Couple of other points:

  • The referee has been utter cack for both sides, just letting players get fouled all over the shop.
  • Tino is going to be a world class wing back one day, but feels like he'll be a average to decent fullback. 
  • That goal for Isak could be huge for our season.
  • Hall has been our best player, he's really starting to sting a run of form together. 
  • Miggy feels like a weird sort of safety blanket, I can't explain it, but I feel like we're better when he's on the pitch.

There was a chance after their goal where ball was passed across goal and Tino’s on the penalty spot while neto has 40ft of space around him unmarked. 
 

He was done for pace for their goal by Neto.

Isak’s first touch poor multiple times.

 

Bruno completed at least four passes to them.

 

Tonali is mindlessly wandering around the midfield and leaving Palmer tons of space.

 

Eddie’s right about our Champions League players.

Carragher saying Palmer’s pass was one of the best he’s ever seen. :lol:

The one for their goal? It was really good pass, but you see one of them most gameweeks in the Premier League :lol:

The glazing of Palmer is unreal like.  Pass isn’t as good as Willock’s against Spurs.


This. It’s a cracking pass but the way they’re waxing lyrical over it is pathetic. He’s got 50 yards of space to play it into.

Aye. He’s got 50 yards of space to play it into. Mental.

He’s extremely tidy and rarely loses possession, will not get caught out like Murphy often does.
