Meh, no worries, i think we lack the pressure due to certain players, couple of changes will turn this around. 3-1 chelsea.

I'd take Oscar off and bring on Hazard. Oscar has done nothing so far, and Batshyuai needs some help up there.

For some reason my stream is showing about seven replays of every incident from every possible angle, yet I'm still no closer to figuring out whether that Kanté tackle was a penalty or not.

Any of our defenders could come off, they have all been as bad as each other, there is no point singling out one over the other.

We need a goal, i don't think we will get it with Willian and Oscar giving the ball away so often. I think it would be wiser to get one of those two off.

, Chalobah was pretty good but him and Kante are too similar, both all action box to box and keep getting in each others way instead of 1 holding leaving our defence exposed..

Very accurate comment imho

The back 3 have got used to playing togetner the last few games, and they've learned their positions together, now they've all changed, so not surprising it doesn't look as solid. I'm personally not sure JT fits into a back 3 very well, Luiz is better suited to the deep role, and JT hasn't got the pace for the side roles.

 

Michi has been fairly poor yes, but he's had little to no service from the midfield.

i think terry off - luiz central - azpi right central and moses wing back is the first change we need

Hook off Oscar and get Costa upfront with Bats.

Nate better improve in the 2nd half or that's the last we will see of him for a  while .

Chalobah has been all right, not sure what people are seeing to criticise him.

What was wrong with Nate? They boy is trying his best, he was the only player that created the most dangerous chance, moving the ball by passing and helping Kante to defend. Kante and him are our best players at the moment.

Think it might be time for The Don to start moulding JT into his assistant...

i agree chalobah been okay.  id keep him on for a while.  osca on the other hand.....  willian loos rusty too...

 

Really hope he lets aina/chalo/michy stay on, if they come through and are on the pitch when he get back into it, gives so much confidemce

inbred uncivilized spammers at it again

Who is playing in the centre of the back 3 surely it's Luz ?

This is them when they're winning, when we knock them the f**k out of this cup our fans better make a beeline for the exit

Also I think Oscar grew into the game somewhat as the half wore on, I'd leave him out there (at least for the time being). 

I still reckon we should think about changing our shape (although I'm less convinced than I was about 20 minutes ago) - I think we should take off one of the centre backs (probably Terry, Cahill has been on a good run of form and I don't want to jeopardise his confidence and Luiz is more offensively inventive than any of the other current back five) and either put another body in midfield (although I've just realised Fabregas isn't on the bench) or someone to occupy space between their defence and midfield lines.

We did improve a bit towards the end of the half so I wouldn't be hugely upset if Conte stuck with the 11 currently on the pitch, but I would expect changes if we don't create something soon.

terry central,  luiz right, cahill left

We look abit disjointed and have been lucky to not be 2 down. Oscar and Willian showed zero creativity. 

Nate has been decent and very composed. Ola Ania had a few moments of looking raw but overall, not too bad.

That's makes no sense surely the quickest guy has to be central

No changes?!!!?? Ok then.

Stop inviting pressure

They wouldn't have as much money to throw away if they'd actually been charged properly for the new stadium...

JT is not gonna work here 2-0
