I completely agree with this in one way, but in another way it feels like very similar commentary has been applicable for the last 10 games in a row (Emphasis on "feels" before a smartarse says owt) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted Sunday at 16:23 Share Posted Sunday at 16:23 (edited) Decent performance away against a decent team, got done by individual errors and Palmer. We easily could’ve got something out of that. Only Man City can go there and be in complete control all match. Feel bad for Howe, backlash is unwarranted after that performance. He was once again let down by his players. Edited Sunday at 16:25 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted Sunday at 16:32 Share Posted Sunday at 16:32 Really hope we win on Wednesday, I’m finding it hard to get excited about this league season - but I’m all in on the cup hope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a low block CB+DM, 2 high press 8's, high press wide men and a sometimes high press 9. We're stuck between systems, and it shows. We either need to go 4-2-3-1 or change the personal to suit 1 way of playing. Some hard decisions to be made Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted Sunday at 16:34 Share Posted Sunday at 16:34 Felt like a game with two poor sides this. Our defense are making easy mistakes and our attackers seems like they are trying to fuck a girl with a soft dick. Getting close, but its never going to get in.

Kid Icarus Posted Sunday at 16:37 Share Posted Sunday at 16:37 Good in spells, sloppy in others, punished but could and maybe should have had a point. Thought the ref was absolutely shocking and the Bruno non-decision set the tone (particularly as they scored not long after) for the afternoon. Pope: 5.5 Livramento: 5 Schär: 4.5 Burn: 7 Hall: 6.5 Bruno: 7 Tonali: 6 Joelinton: 6.5 Barnes: 5 Isak: 6 Almiron: 5.5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted Sunday at 16:38 Share Posted Sunday at 16:38 positives we didn't get a drubbing as I feared we might at the start a narrow defeat doesn't feel nearly as bad (for me at least) good goal from open play we didn't crumble after their goals and on another day might have got something, at one of the most difficult away grounds tbf we get to have another go at these on Wednesday, and we're at home other results good ( imagine the meltdowns on MU/Spurs forums) negatives another defeat poor away form continues some poor performances and sloppy play all over fucking Chelsea win again very little on the bench to make a difference Gordon injured Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Because of his height, all he has to do is get his head on the ball to defend the box. But the loopy headers are useless at set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted Sunday at 16:59 Share Posted Sunday at 16:59 Standard sloppy game and influid performance at Chelsea that usually results in a draw or narrow loss no matter who the manager is. Hating this season though, feels interminable, only October?! Feels like March. Just feels like its going to be one of those middling ones that seemed common place pre Ashley.

Smal Posted Sunday at 16:59 Share Posted Sunday at 16:59 Tonali made just 13 passes in his 68 minutes today. It’s bizarre that he’s barely involved in our play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad never wanted to be here from the off. Throw in his year not playing football, I think he just wants this all to end and go back home. Really don't think we'll ever see the Tonali that plays well for his country. Shame for us but cutting our losses might not be the worst thing.

We’re making him do the same stuff that we make Sean Longstaff do instead of taking advantage of his increased ability on the ball to try and control games.

KingArthur Posted Sunday at 17:16 Share Posted Sunday at 17:16 Wasnt our worst performance at Stamford Bridge that I have seen. If you compare the money spent in the last 2-3 years, you couldn't see the difference being that big. I think we win at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
