Anjorin was busy running the show for the U23s last night!

Ah I see. Could have ran this show instead lol.

If we are running behind, say after first half there is not much on the bench to speed us up.

I don't think I can call a player who hasn't been given a run of games in his chelsea career trash. It's tough getting rythm when u only come on as a sub once in a while. We can all see CHO"s game improve with the run of games he has had due to pulisics injury...

 

   I recall batshauyi lighting it up for Dortmund when he went on loan and was a regular starter

Winston Bogarde and Bernard Lamborde did not get a run of games either, this was just a matter of Rythm that they did not curt it here?

Is there no youth team striker we could put on the bench? If Batshuayi gets a knock then what?

Bogarde just came here to get a pay cheque after retiring from international duty. Bernard lombarde actually got games and wasn't as bad as you are trying to imply. 

Batshauyi is a Belgian international and has scored goals in Germany and France . 

My point is that he can't be called trash until given a run of games... Emerson on the other hand is certified trash

I really hope we show up and play ball if hull get 11 behind the ball would like to see how we deal with it.

We're a bit thin on the ground up front even in the youth set up, and certainly no-one who is anywhere near being a first team starter ... even in the Cup.

Just as well we all loved Pedro as the false 9 LOL - that's probably the Plan B if Batman gets injured ?

 

Here we go! Come on you BLUES!

Good day so far ... West Ham losing and Spurs in line for a replay again ...

On that we agree completely.

I would have preferred the old blue strip like we wore in the last round 

We Can't Pass So Far, Poor First Few Minutes

Reckon that would have been a goal if Kepa was in.

Our defenders are taking it in turns to give the ball away. First Zouma then Alonso. 

Willy coming to claim a cross, I've not seen that before? What's that technique? Can goalkeepers do that sort of thing?

I was wondering where this was!

good to see Willy taking command of the box - already have a sense of confidence that's not there with Kepa recently

Very nervy start ?

Go on Michy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BAAAATS! Yes! 

Batshauyi iiiiii

well Michy

Great Ball To Azpi, Poor Cross, But Good Cleanup After
