So did Lukaku just not bother? How come he did not score more against a none league club? Did he not get chances?

Also why is Ziyech taking a pen when the game is won, let Hall take it lol.

I think most of them were treating like a pre-season friendly. Could have scored more but they all got greedy and selfish, trying to go for glory themselves.

Trying to make a positive impression and instead doing the opposite? Sounds a out right.

Trying to take on the entire opposition on their own when they could play in a team mate through on goal instead - surely an assist is a positive impression too?

So our forwards looked poor against even a none league side and no one bar Hall stood out I am hearing? Disappointing, but job done nevertheless.

Not really. Everybody played a professional game against a team many leagues below us. 

We bossed the game, fans from both sides had a good time. I just think you need to sit back and enjoy these types of games.

Surprised we sa so many first team players. I thought there might have been a couple of other youngsters in the starting line up. We only had Hall in there who I suspect made the team because of the defender situation. 
 

Thoughts Sissons(?) and Vale would have started given they played well against Brentford 

Strong h1. Lukaku trying a bit hard  and lacking a bit of confidence, very evident when he passed to cho rather than shooting at one point. 
lewis Hall lookedexcellent and cho looked better than the other wide  players

midfield it’s just obvious that RLC and Barkley aren’t up to it. They can run with the ball just fine but they don’t use it well. No sense for the right pass or ability to execute. Particularly Barkley. 
 

Sarr also played well for the most part. Happy with how he is coming along.

Amazed people are finding complaints over today. Played a non-league team, won extremely comfortably without leaving 1st gear. Players wouldn’t have expended too much energy ahead of bigger games coming up. Ideal day. 

They’ve got a nice easy match against Bottlejob FC midweek to take it easy before the big game at the weekend though!

Don't forget Bettinelli and Sarr.

Also, some of those players needs game time. Werner, Lukaku, Christensen, Kovacic they have had injuries / illness and need game time to keep their match fitness up. Sarr, Saul and Ziyech don't get as much game time, so of course they were going to start.

Maybe if I could see it. Over here we have Dazn so can see most other games ( I am hoping club world cup but we will see) just not the FA cup.

i cant believe how werner scored all those goals in Germany, constantly runs in cul de sacs.. nothing new we learnt in this match other than Pulisic is not a wing back and Barkley should be shipped off as soon as possible.. Ziyech tries too many hollywood passes and we are just not critical enough...  

On the positives more time in the middle for out second string... Saul is doing better and lot of people scored.

And CHO who although scored a good goal, still can't beat a defender one on one and these are non-league players...shocking

Where in the world are you located?

Saul absolutely bossing the midfield, making this Chersterfield team look like non league players, sign him up, bargain at 30 mill

Haha. There were quite a few suggesting that he  be resigned in one of Simon Johnson's athletic UK article this week on Saul. Some appeared to be serious although some may have been trolling Johnson.

Have you ever considered watching it via a dodgy stream?

Shows how much I have lost touch with the lower leagues. I thought Chesterfield were still in Div 3 or Div 4. Didn't realise they had dropped out of the league until yesterday!

Canada.

Don't you have ESPN in Canada? In US the FA Cup is available via ESPN+. I think they have every single game on live. I think it is $7/month though.

Back when we had cable could see it there, however saving money was needed and it was the only thing we used cable for. Everything else is Netflix or Dazn. Was a choice between cable and Dazn, Fa Cup games, some league and some CL vs League cup, all league games and all CL games.
