The ref didn't even add on the 30 minutes he wasted talking to Rudiger in that half.

One of those games where you wonder what a Jorginho is and what a Jorginho does.

Jorgi has been ok. I will probably bring ruben  for Kante. It is not Kante has been bad but what is the point,  it is the same story against palace/palmeiras where kante keep picking the ball up between the line.

Think I'm watching the wrong game. Ive got Sc**thorpe v MK Dons. Oh hang on.......

Our attack is so pedestrian. Movement and creation very poor. Defensively not too solid either. 

Dreadful half of football, possibly the worst I have watched all season. I'm so tired of these slow, lazy, disinterested performances. We are one of the worst teams in the world to watch against teams like this, nobody steps up to make anything happen.

I think this season is a write off in the league.. looks like TT has given up .. nothing else explains this…

Could package chelsea matches as a pretty good cure for insomnia. 

The more possession we have, the worse our football becomes. 

This is an interesting read

 

 

Same sh*t, different day.

Slow, insipid, uninspired dross.

Hook Kante off - offers nothing in games like this. 

Struggle to blame the attackers when everything is so slow into them.

The thing is TT does know what to expect against Burnley so FFs put out an attacking line up.. I am just sick and tired of our cbs passing to each other and us thinking we have possession and are dominating till one of them screws up or tries a hollwood pass.. our fwds are completely isolated.. get some more bodies in the attacking line up.. imagine we are playing with 8 defensive players against Burnley

Very uneventful first half we are too slow.

 

Awful half.

Kante and Jorginho have been so pedestrian, moving the ball slowly, turning down opportunities to pass forward, and its been walking football at times. 

Mount didnt deserve to start imo, he has been anonymous again. 

Might steal a win, but its been terrible so far. Glad i couldnt get tickets.

He's been doing his basics well and not being a liability but I think he's got to step it up and provide the killer pass, although that takes a player to make the right run as well

Players don't care, to be honest. They will pick up their performance in the Champions League so they can get a good move in the summer.

Can I just take a nap and look at the results? This game is just annoying

Watching in bed in the way forward guys. 

What a crap half, slow and lazy.

Even when we break we stop and back to Rudi it goes...

At least it can't be worse second half.

We knew this since weeks surely a better way to unlock them then relying  on rudiger

Based on 1m pages on Lukaku thread, dropping Lukaku is the elixir. 

 

I would change Lukaku, Ziyech and Kennedy for Havertz, Pulisic and Saul. We can't get any worse then this, atleast I wouldn't suffer seeing Pulisic dribble backwards and loose the ball everytime, or Saul trying to run and do anything useful as a wingback.

Only Thiago Silva and Rudiger get a pass for that half. Actually deserve to be loding this one.

tbf i wonder how much the club situation is playing on their minds

Honestly it is the same movie. If we get a goal from corner or something like that then we will look better otherwise 😴😴

We just need more from our midfield and wb. Bring Kova for Jorgi or ruben for kante and if we want to risk it bring rom for saul.

The problem hasn't been Havertz, Puli or Saul - it is the slow , walking pace build up play.

That will explain it today. What explains against Palace? or Al Hilal? or Palmeiras? or Plymouth? or Brighton?
