Somebody should tell our players to shoot into the corners, not straight at the keeper.

Pulasic is fast and dynamic but for a little guy he doesn’t turn very quickly

Abraham still doesn't look good enough, he should be scoring these chances.

Same could be said for Mount scoring as well though, decent save by Sommer but from that distance and unmarked he shouldn’t have had a chance.

Nothing wrong with our build up play that’s for sure.

To be fair he is very sharp and lively and takes up good positions, we know he can finish he bagged 26 goals, I quite like him 

Decent dive from kova 

Missed our goal, stream decided to die. Penalty apparently? Who took it?

Good turn from Tammy there.

Nice to have a striker with pace for a chance

We know he can finish in the Championship, it's a very different level he is playing at now. I still don't think he offers the team enough. I don't see him scoring goals unless it's a tap in or perfect through ball / cross. 

That guy is a wuss, neither of those challenges was a foul by Giroud.

Kante is back!

Of course we can’t and that’s a worry but we don’t have anyone else to play as a defensive engine in that midfield.

 

in terms of the ‘shape up or be shipped out’ I think you’re forgetting we have a transfer ban. We cannot ship anyone out and have to make do with what we have this season, it’s that simple. 

Didn't forget about the transfer ban hencewhy I said the moment we're able to buy better ones but semantics.

Whilst it's obvious that Kante is our defensive engine, we shouldn't expect to build around Kante. Kante's dynamism and recoveries should supplement the tactics not be the tactic we base our defensive game on.

 

Finishing has been poor today.

Good interception by Alonso no good finshing from Mount thou. 

No shooting boots for today i guess...

Finishing is finishing isn’t it? Where championship lack in creativity and technicality they can defend pretty well and have good keepers.

Obviously different level in the PL but I think an eye for goal is an eye for goal, I wouldn’t expect 26 by no means but 15 or so, I think he could do it. 

The other 2 would be pushing it to get double digits, so it’s a toss up. 

What the f**k is going on with our finishing, it’s the entire team.

What a miss by the Pre Season God. 

One of those days where we can't finish anything.

To not even hit the target there? Get it out of your system now lads..

I just don't see him getting those types of goals for us. Premier League defenses won't give him those chances.

The difference between Championship CB and PL/CL level CB are in the way they read the game. Against your Huths and Zoumas, Tammy won't have a problem but against people like VVD and Hummels, he still has a long way to go

Blushes spared it would seem. 

Great save by Kepa! 

But what was that by Barkley?!
