Chelsea v Luton (FA) Sun 24th Jan 2021 12:00 GMT

He’s been solid the few times he’s played, but I think that he is not at the level of Chilwell and attacking-wise Alonso offered much more. We should look at getting a back up for Chilwell in summer, in my opinion.

I would say Emerson is a great back-up LB. If he was any better he wouldn't be willing to sit on the bench every game.

I'm hoping Tammy really does make it, for all of us. He doesn't seem to have that poacher/goal hanger streak in him. I thought there were a good few balls flashed across the 6 yard box and no one was there. 

In fairness to Tammy he wasn't alone in that. Werner, Pulisic and Ziyech should be taking that gamble at different stages.

I thought Timo despite his penalty miss, ran his heart out right up to the end. He needs a ball to hit him on the head and go in while he's trying his boot laces to get some confidence back. I really felt for him when he missed he looked broken.

He can take confidence out of his all round performance though, he done well today

Some of the one touch passing moves were good  and in general the tempo was much better but our defending was still average and against stomper opposition we might get cut up down the middle. Despite the penalty and a bad pass or two and stumbling on the ball I though Werner looked good and was an influence ion the game. 
 

havertz also looked fitter in his brief cameo. James has to become more reliable defensively. 
some good long early switches of play and some moves through the centre of the park also created space. Fun to watch but can we do it against better opponents ?

Felt like papering over the cracks rather than anything positive. Didn't really see anything click given the opposition and we still looked vulnerable. Got to feel for Werner but good to see him get angry rather than just his head going down.

Yes it did, I’m gonna reserve my judgement until after the  wolves and burnley games.

Never really saw the game. Was Werner playing as a 10, behind Tammy?

 

[Munkunku]

Is it though? Cesc, Pirlo, Modric and Thiago are four top examples of players who made a career out of being a deeper player, infact they were actually wasted whenever they played higher up, not the other way round.

In the deeper positions you can dictate the entire tempo of a match.

Didn’t Cesc make his name playing in and around the 10 position at Arsenal and operate mainly as a false 9 at Barca?

It was only here when his legs were knackered he started playing deeper?
