Scott Harris

And then finishing 3rd behind Arsenal 🤣

Pochettino can keep crying about it.

Arsenal fans a proper weirdos. The amount of their fans I have seen that were following this game last night when their own team was playing in the Champions League is crazy. I didn't even think about them at any point. Weirdest fanbase in football.

Scott is another all action midfielder. We need control in midfield, isn't this why Alonso wanted Xhaka? James isn't the answer for me because I think he lacks the off ball understanding of playing that role.

@Mod Ban this man!

I noticed it's been doing it a lot recently. Some days I can't even get on the site at all so I just give up trying.

I agree. If anything, you can make more mistakes than ever and still qualify. We failed to get out of the group in 12-13 and we finished on 10 points. A few slip ups cost us, but you can make more than a few slip ups now. Two seasons ago, PSG finished 15th and still won the competition.

I'll say what I said in the match thread, I think his levels would have gone up similar to Barco's had he stayed on, but sacrifices had to be made and he had to come off to rescue the game. We can single out players for putting in an absolute dross of a performance in that first half (mainly Gusto and Gittens) but it was more of a collectively poor performance than anything else. There was a complete shift in tempo in the 2nd half and Estevao would have benefitted had he stayed on.

I'm a bit worried about Lacroix. I think he has mobility issues that will be regularly exposed as the season goes on. He turns like a tank and it's reminding me of Koulibaly at times. This wouldn't have been exposed as much at Palace because he played in a much more defensive side. I feel like if we ever move to a back 4, he's going to be badly exposed. He's good in 1v1 situations, but that's about it so far.

I don't understand why he didn't try and close the space for the 3rd goal. When Acheampong failed to win the ball, it knocked him off balance, Colwill should have covered his space but he's just jogging back. If he reacts and tries to cover Acheampong's space, it would allow Acheampong to recover and take up Colwill's space, which would have give us a much better chance to prevent the goal

He hit a new low tonight. In a half where everybody was terrible, he really stood out as the most terrible of the lot.

Quality footballer, powerful and direct. Hopefully this form continues all season.

This guy is absolute crap. Softest player to ever put on a Chelsea shirt. I wouldn't care if he never played a game for us again.

We don't, not unless Alonso moves away from a back 3.

Estevao suffered from playing alongside sh*t. I think he would have raised his levels the same way Barco did had he stayed on. But it was a such a terrible first half that he had to be sacrificed.
