Muck horse stalls and fulfill his squire duties before kickoff?

 

I can’t get over Palmer’s Monk lid. What do you even ask for at the barbers?

What do we do now? 3 at the back doesn't make sense now they're a man down and we should look to be dominating the middle of the park. 

 

I'm guessing their tactics will be to keep it tight until the last 15-20 and hit us on the counter with their pacey wingers. 

 

Don't have the personnel for much else. Need to protect our channels IMO. Only real joy they've had.

Good half. Can’t complain, everything spot on and our nervy moments didn’t yield any clear chances.

 

We group, talk through approach against 10 men and hopefully add a second within 10 mins of 2nd half. Because Chelsea will then lose heads and that’s that. 
 

Tonali is once again a joke. Can accept his off week last game.

Balance of the team looked great even before their red. Really good numbers in defense and fluid in attack. 

 

Wonder if we dropped off due to the heat or were saving something in the tank for later in the game? 

 

Need that 2nd to relax.

A goal up in a must win game - maintain the shape, keep discipline and wait for the moment to strike for a second. The main thing is not to get carried away, let the pressure stay on

Chelsea.

I'll be relieved if and when we get a second. Chelsea have still got a goal in them.

 

Overall though, a tactical masterclass from Eddie.

 

Too many players get away with these accidentally-on-purpose elbows to the face. It's difficult for refs to spot, because players can make it look like they're assisting their jump. In this case, Jackson was nowhere near subtle enough.

We are totally in control and still have lots of bodies attacking. We don’t need to change anything. We saw what happens when too many get caught up field with Neto’s run. Just keep it tight and we’ll extend our lead.

Think we may see a slight change in game. With Burn going more LB and Tino pushed up more central in midfield. 
 

We need to control initiative a bit more against 10 IMO.
