Dreadful Aspi.  :0)

if Frank has any hair left at the end of the season I will be surprised....not really sure about this sub?

This is Lille's f**king B side too. I don't have faith in this side to do much more in this competition, so may as well drop to Europa. It might give us a chance at getting CL football next season too because our league form doesn't feel me with confidence either. We continue to fail to take chances. 

Id rather we get knocked out in the round of 16 then spend another year in europa. If anything at least it will give the team experience and hunger to get there again

So who's to blame now for leaving Remi unmarked in the box Kepa???

Can't blame Kepa for that. Awful defending.

And CHO has been abysmal since coming on. Lampard a little too complacent taking Pulisic off.

To be fair, Lampard should be able to trust them to see out a 2-0 lead against Lille’s B team. I don’t understand why we’ve slowed the game down so much in the second half, we’re sh*te at it.

I get we need to protect Tammy but I honestly don’t think we can justify subbing him in games. The alternatives are sh*te. Same with Pulisic, he’s been quality tonight and should have been left on. I’m a big Callum fan but his recent performances really haven’t been all that encouraging, I’m sure he’s still recovering but he needs to get up to speed quickly as just now it looks as if he’s regressed from last year.

Which piss me off because Hudson-Odoi has been given a great new contract. He needs to show something or lose his place. 

have mixed feelings about CL this season. can't see us getting far in the knock-out stages, finishing 2nd in this group leaves probably just Leipzig as a team we would fancy coming up against

With CHO, I See No Urgency When He Has The Ball, Might Still Not Be Fully Fit, But Still, Put A Shift In

Its a good strike though.

CHO not shining here

Hudson Odoi has to show the intelligence to integrate himself into the team dynamics. When i see him play all i see is an individual

Damn Hudson Odoi that was smooth

Doesn't seem to matter what defense we put out, we still seem to concede poor goals.

I see what you mean, but I honestly don't blame Frank. We're facing Lille's B team, we should be able to hold onto a 2 goal lead without Tammy and Pulisic. There's also a tough fixture list in December and we need to rest some of our best.

Bats is such a poor footballer man, it’s actually infuriating.

Its a good strike though.

You CHI fanboy [emoji16]

Batshuayi's decision making is woeful.

Batsh*t

I agree he SHOULD but as this team keep showing us over and over and over... and over... he can’t!

Yes he should but given we've kept less clean sheets than Ron Jeremy it's clear 2 0 is still shaky for us.

The last thing this squad needs is to have their confidence beaten by being knocked out of the Champions League. This is one of the big hurdles that could make or break some of our young players.

Just annoys me this is Lille's b side and we making it look like we are playing a far better side. Again, the players don't take 2/3 good chances and capitalise.

I dont think we can blame the defense for that goal. The whole team stopped pressing and played passive in the build up to that goal
