Terrible 1st half of the half, competitive 2nd half. Come out like we ended and we can get something. Reckon Chelsea have another gear though, reckon it depends on if we can keep the crowd quiet, which has been one of the worst i've not heard all season so far.

Set pieces are embarrassing.

Almost as embarrassing as aiming it at Burn. Yes it's logical given his size but what do you expect him to do with a header. 9/10 he has zero headed control lol.

An Almiron that can shoot?

 

:bluestar:

Feel like almiroms the opposite. [emoji38] does all the work off and on the ball but couldn’t score in a brothel.

They are.

If we have a set piece coach, they need sacking. If we don’t, we need to be asking why not.

Yep - can't remember last time we scored from a set play

How we are still level is a bit of a mystery, but they look like they leave plenty of space at the back so we can score goals in this game. But looks like they'll probably get at couple more the way we are set up.

Bit of a mixed bag; we haven't dealt with the combination of one of either Jackson or Palmer receiving the ball deep and building the play - they've forced a half chance out of that situation every time. Thankfully we've defended pretty well other than that. 

 

Lovely move for our goal and you sense we'll get another chance. Feels like we'll need to score again to get anything out of the game.

We’re the only team in the league that doesn’t have one.

Our full backs have been out best players, our center backs have been our worst.

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

Entertaining half? :lol: My rear balloon knot gets tighter every time Chelsea move the ball up the pitch.

 

Finally scored from open play on a really well worked goal. Some sort of points here would be nice 🙏🏻.

Fun watch for the neutral.

Gut wrencher for fans of defending.

 

Some of the forward play and link up has been better for us. Our goal was beautiful. Same general problems though and yikes has the defense and lack of cover been woeful.

 

We need a better defensive plan for the second half. At least we grew into the game and levelled it.

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.

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.
