from europa leage to celebrating staying up!!

And there you have ladies and gents...3rd place all secured with another excellent home performance...total sh*te as usual for a home game against a mid-table team; I will so glad to see the back of Pulisic, numerous chances in the Cup Final and throughout the season he has squandered and again tonight.  I just hope that next year  we actually see some attacking based football instead of more than half the team being defenders..

Tuchel is the same as Jose and Sarri, they focus on defensive setup and retaining possession and just leave the players to figure out how to attack.

Watched 2nd half, Thiago Silva the best player on pitch as usual.

Our home form is a worry

The inability to break a low block needs urgent attention 

Reece had a good game 

Ziyech was good in patches,

Chalobah solid

Thiago game 47 for a 37 year old is outstanding 

And the there is Pulisic who can’t finish to save his life and Lukaku who can’t run 

Third place is now assured bar the maths but it’s the points behind second that is the real statistic 

 

Everton game on sky at 10:30,

I think Norwich have a faster counter attack than us.  Can’t think of a team that is so slow in the build up.  No movement or speed in our passing.

We are an atrocious attacking team. Always a poor touch, poor finish or just overall poor decision making.

Top 3 secured, but to potentially finish only 3 points ahead of Tottenham and 19 points behind City from the position we were in is really poor. It's been the same thing on repeat now for 5 years, so we clearly need some big changes at the club.

Slow Motion Football

We need Major Surgery in the transfer window.  i just hope our scouts have been doing their job because sanctions dont stop us from searching for players

90th minute and you remembered the little fella, sweet.😅

 

I miss his comedy value Coco. When Werner was playing alongside Lukaku it was like we had our very own version of Laurel and Hardy. Now Werners not there it's just Hardy.

Still funny, but not as funny.

We need to regroup in the summer. Our performances have been pretty poor in the league especially at home as of recent.

Don't worry mate Pulisic just did an absolutely belting impression of Werner tonight.

I have to commend Chelsea tonight. A great  modern day interpretation  of the novel 'Chelsea are from Mars, the Goalposts are from Venus'

So we got the draw we needed to limp over the third place line but, like a Jorginho pass, we never really looked like putting our best foot forward.

Reece James first class attitude again. Thank christ he seems committed to the club.

Yeah 3rd isn’t really showing the whole picture of our season. When you consider that we are basically 3 points ahead of 4th and 19 behind 1st.

 

we need major changes in areas as we won’t be challenging with this team

The sea of mediocrity won the Champion's league last year.  

So? Are you saying this group is playing as well now as it was in the champions league last season? Since the international break, its been pretty poor at the bridge.

we play so slow.. any team can set-up against us... we have at any point in time 8 defensive players including the GK... none of our attackers get a consistent run and we moan when they are inconsistent..

FFS can we revert to playing 4 defenders, 3 mid and 3 attackers.. of the last 23 years i have been watching only once as a back 3 won the league.. that should tell us something.. this system in the EPL is madness.. we remind me of wolves under nuno.. 

Reece was good tonight but think there’s so much more to come from the lad.  Top quality 

Havertz, Lukaku, Pulisic, Ziyech, CHO, Mount and Werner. I would trust none of these players to be a regular goal scorer for us next season, we are in desperate need of forwards and hopefully Boehly can see this for himself.

we can have prime messi and he wont score 20 with this set-up.. TT has tried this for 18 months now and we are no where better than where we started..

I don't think we even need major surgery, we might just need a fabregas just like before. Jorginho has the ability to become something like that but he's gone back to playing safeball

Would like to see us revert to 4 at the back next season

Is it his fault that Pulisic missed an open goal? Or when Havertz kicked the ball with his wrong foot? These players just aren’t good enough. 20 shots and it took a left back to score our only goal.

I think both Reece and RLC added some much needed physical presence when they came into central midfield. If we had another quality right back, I would like to see James used in midfield for a few matches. He can influence the game far more from that position. He played there when he was on loan to Wigan and won their POTY.
