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

[Tsunami]

That was prime Shelvey tracking back.

[Sibierski]

We need to stop getting tight with fucking slow CBs. It’s embarrassing.

[Jinky]

Bad to worse.

[ExiledGeordie]

This is going one way in current evidence, routine 3-0 loss

We’re so shit. Transfer window let Howe down.

Howe has never been good defensively.

Sorry like, but that season we had when we finished 4th with a great defensive record is an outlier in his managerial record.

[nemtizz]

Schar's a joke sadly

Schar’s been fucking useless all season

I know people hate to hear this but a lot of what we are seeing his tactical and that's on the manger. 

[Displayname]

Burn is great at what he is good at, but his speed is just to much of a liability.

[Sibierski]

Flat midfield 3 as always. So no pressure and gaps behind.

Eddie will be backed in January, Jermaine Pennant, Jon Parkin and Chris Iweleumo will come in to save our season. 

 

 

 

Come now you know that none of the three will make it past the bench until they are ready 3 games before the season ends.

[TBG]

There's always Wednesday 

 

[mouldy_uk]

Our midfield 3 just doesn’t work.

We must have by far the slowest centre half pairing in the league. 

 

Pathetic by Burn too, he has a 8 yard head start on Jackson and is sleeping so badly he ends up 12 yards behind him before he realises he's even moved. 

 

 

We know the weakness is there, but obviously the attempts to fix it are still a work in progress.

[Tiresias]

The wayward passing is the most infuriating

He has like. 

[Aiston]

Fuck sake Schar, why are we still having Burn/ Schar stepping so high up the pitch. Chelsea showed it's stupid from us in the first 8 minutes !

this midfield just doesn't work and that makes everything else shite

[nufc4eva]

So slow to every fucking ball and no idea when we have it, fucking rank on every level right now

[pubteam]

When you look at the players Chelsea have I wish we had just ripped up the rule book like them.

Where the fuck is Dan Burn?

 

He is so lucky to be a local lad.

This is his first bad half in ages, give it a break man.

Not much is working today, we haven't shown up so far. 

[Astroblack]

They’re still in control after the goal. Just better

Burn is great if you're parking the bus. Beyond awful if you want to play on the front foot. 

[Keggy_Keagal]

Tactics are completely wrong.  No-one on Palmer and he's got all the time to drop off and link the play through the back line that's higher than Keith Richards in the 70s. Could be a hatful this
