RLC injured

40 minutes still can't score a goal vs Nottingham but Hazard is on the pitch now...

Damn Ruben :(  we might have to recall pulisic

All possession still can’t score 

Well in this first half we've managed to be good in the first 95 meters, so that's an improvement on the 80 of the last game..

Ethan has played well although he doesn't really look at home in this role.

Story of our season

Moratas linkup play is very assured, just needs a goal or three

same old story I'm afraid. started brightly but having failed to get a break through our build up play is becoming ponderous giving them lots of time to get organised

SHOCKING   will we ever score again 

0-0 at HT, good grief

Yep definitely and this is starting to worry me.

 

Once again, missed so many good chances. Should be 3-0 up but we're not clinical.

Should be up by a couple. We are in a slump of sorts. We just can't score. 

Well 0:0 at halftime, obviously not easy playing against the former European champion side...

Can't believe we're not ahead. We'll probably go on to lose...because reasons.

Missing a number of their key players including their top scorer...5 1 to Chelsea again...

I hope you didn't put any money for that result

Now we might win this.....but Sarii really has to come up with something. Why we cant be more direct and pass faster and make runs is baffling to me.

He's had a decent game so far, sadly still can't catch a break though.

same old story , start ok but when we dont score within 30 mins heads drop , passes become slower and the opposition grow into the game 

Another frustrating half of football. This time we actually had chances, and we still didn't take them. We are desperate for goalscorers, I don't think I have ever seen it this bad at the club.

Barkley has been pretty poor these past couple of games ,  could have played Morata thru a couple of times , takes bad shots and a stupid yellow card ....

Because he is playing at his level

Any news on RLCs injury? Can’t be arsed to look back on the crappy WiFi we have at the bridge. 

1st half thoughts. 

Positives - the players who have come on are much more direct, and are playing well. While the score is a familiar 0-0 the ball is moving much faster, with purpose,  and creating a lot of chances.

Ampadu, Cesc, Luz, Hudson-Odoi, and Morata have all been good 

Negatives - not finishing the good chances.. Ross Barkley is the only player for me who has not played average or above. I feel like he's trying to be a scalpel, when he's best as a hammer. Where has his aggressiveness gone? RLC facing an injury... and... the officiating. VAR gives us another penalty and Forest is down to 10 men.
