Chelsea 2-1 Newcastle United (27/10/24)

[54]

Another game where if we could finish it might have been different. Unbelievably frustrating.

[RS]

Are we being back to being shit again?  Ah well, the couple of years of hope were canny. 

[Sibierski]

That Pope kick at the end made me laugh. So shit. Took an age to line it up, allowed himself to be closed down, then shanks it out anyway.

[HaydnNUFC]

Isak chance aside, poor in possession. Again. As we always seem to be. 

 

We just look a poorly coached team. Don't see it getting any better as things are.

[nufcjb]

This week is going to be very very very dark.

[Andy]

We look the absolute epitome of a midtable team, hard to believe how much we've regressed in almost every aspect of our play. 

 

Said it many times in the summer but if you stand still in this league you go backwards quickly, and that's what's happening. 

[Aiston]

Utter shit and deserved nothing.

 

Howe really poor when it comes to changing something tactically or making subs. Always reactive as well and never pro-active.

 

How did Howe watch that first 10 minutes and change nothing, despite seeing Chelsea threatening and a disallowed goal.

[The Bonk]

Reece James has played a blinder. I have no words for our performance other than the obvious “not good enough”.

[Sima]

Fucking Isak, man.

 

Greedy cunt.

[Dandy Man]

Meh. When Chelsea are good they're very good but they're still very shaky. We just look shaky

[Conjo]

The only positives today is Lewis Hall and, grasping at straws,  how relieved/happy Chelsea were to see the game out. Not sure why - it wasn't a great achievement by them to do so but feels good that they feel it is.

Lifting really, Nees.

 

I'm a grown man and let it effect my mood far too much.

 

Was more in general, thought both sides were poor.

[duo]

If Isak had passed 

[Yorkie]

Incredibly ineffective and disjointed. There's mitigating circumstances for us not having a great season but there's none for having us play like strangers. I am losing faith a bit; didn't believe we'd score at any point in that second half. 

 

What a shit day.

Might be against the grain but I don't think that was too bad a performance. Again we made chances and just weren't particularly clinical with them. 

 

And bear in mind it was away to a team who I think will be challenging the top 4 this season. 

 

Areas to improve for sure but we desperately need to strengthen in January. 

No way are Chelsea a top 4 side

[Gallowgate Toon]

Seething. Gave it away.

Clocks have gone back tbf

[Poon Raccoon]

I see Man U been gifted +12 to try get back into the game.

That's what I meant tbf

[Sempiternal]

I genuinely think that summer crippled us and Howe. Stand still you go backwards.

Yup. Actually watching the games and we're improving overall, albeit today was a backwards step. Inability to finish and some stupid individual errors have cost us at least 4 points in the last 2 games.

[Holmesy]

One of the most worrying performances I’ve seen from us under EH. We’re going to lose games throughout the season but losing them like that - players not showing for each other, no intensity, no composure, no creativity, constantly giving the ball away, no communication, that pathetic high defensive line and nothing remotely new - is starting to look like there are bigger problems than just form

70% chance we'd have still missed considering his choices

 

[Karjala]

3rd game in a row we've not got what we should have got, 1 point instead of potentially 7.

 

Isak, wow.

It's literally Mitchell's job man 

 

 

 

 

 

No it's not, he's not employed to appoint coaches around Eddie. If he is, i don't think that system will work.

 

And also noted, the collective disregard of Eddie's previous work is apparent. We have to trust him, aye we're going through a rough patch but i'm certain we'll come out of it.

 

And today's game, i don't think we were too bad, defensively it needs addressing, but overall i thought we played OK, against a £2 billion pound cheat code team.
