I don‘t see anything special in Barkley either.

He just adds some purpose to our forward play, looks to get a shot off, looks to play a forward ball.

He is far from perfect but for that role in the team he’s better suited than Kovacic.

Well i was recording this to watch later. But having accidentally found out the score then had a read on here I think I will skip it. Better ways to spend the time, maybe watch some paint drying that may prove more entertaining and less predictable.

We actually had a chance to be 9 clear of arsenal n we have done this

It was clear after seeing the starting line-up that no points to us today.

Costa was also dreadful at playing with his back to goal, like utterly awful, I couldn't tell you how many attacks he used to ruin. 

But he could do something impossible for our current strikers: SCORE GOALS.

Oh ok. Wonder if you will ever have the ability to think why someone is on the bench and someone isn't, because you sound like you're trying to say that Sarri played like this since the first game.

Don’t get all smarmy because you look silly.

 

This passing about pisses me off

You look silly thinking that just because there is someone on the bench it means that he should always be played. We won with this formation against Man City and the whole world knows that we have no real good striker but sure keep dreaming that I'm the one looking silly.

I don‘t know about you lot but I really don‘t know what to take from this match. 

Pretty shocking how fast your season can turn sh*t.

3.5 mins bellerini injury + 1 min torreira cramp + 4 subs = 6.5 mins injury time

Here we go dropping like flies now f**k this I’m switching it off

You don't need to tell me, I remember complaining about it like it was yesterday 

Costa was a monster when he looked interested, but he became a liability for half a season.

Tbf Conte sent away our perfect striker and brought in Morata. Hardly Sarri‘s fault.

Welcome to the forum'

Okay, i'll play. Costa for all his ability, and god we need some of it now, effectively engineered his own exit by his ill discipline, firstly with Mourinho and then with Comte when he basically downed tools when his big money move to China was on the go. The fact that Conte bided his time and then bombed him (albeit disrespectfully by text) was largely Costa reaping what he'd sown. The crime was our board not replacing Costa with a striker of similar stature and ability, and then Conte playing out his frustration and lack of respect for the board in front of the world's press.

You’d be better firing a couple of nails in to each eye mate. That’s two in each - just to make sure it’s as bad as watching this 

good job we've Sheffield Wednesday next weekend - opportunity for a confidence building win against a team playing at about our current level 

we are not progressing with Sarri, is all clear for all of us to see. Passing for the sake of passing, no urgency, intent, speed, game plan, NOTHING. I never thought I would say this but Jose football was entertaining comparing to this crap.

Surely you’re at the wind up? One good performance / result with it? We’ve looked dire when using it every other time, including against bottom of the table sides. We look horrendous 95% of the time we go with a false 9 - that’s obvious to see.

The club better get a wiggle on with signing Higuain because this is pants.

Arguably the best Left Winger in the world, being played in the centre 

THE best defensive midfielder in the world, being played high up the pitch.

One of the most promising young Left Backs of the Serie A, not even making the team.

A left back who can't defend and has only got this far as a free kick merchant in the team.

A vibrant and promising young winger being bench by a Brazilian fraud.

A midfielder who's only attribute is to pass sideways.

A terrible formation that has as much attacking threat as a blind folded nun.

And a manager who refuses to change any of it.

We wish will be surprised if we even get 5

Do we lack leadership? Pretty much no one takes responsibility in the final third.

I really hope we send Kovacic back to Madrid, What a waste.
