Btw why is chalobah not on the bench

Injured

There’s no way we win this now. We can barely score one goal per game. 

Mr Gilmour on for Jorginho for me. Is it just me or are all our midfielders built like a super noodle.

RLC doesnt have enough of an engine to get up and down the pitch. He’s a unit and is powerful but wont be everywhere. Also he never really seems to have the ball under control. 

He played as a wingback and now as an 8. Give him some slack. Same goes to Azpi who is just playing again and not as wingback or as a cb. He is a right back today.

Just wondering if we can do a Man City the 2nd half............................

 

 

nah....not based on the first half anyway

Once again this is on TT

Jorgi as a dm when playing with a 4 at the back (a back 4 with an average age of 193 no less), plus Ziyech (not exactly known for his hard work) and RLC (not exactly known for his will to win and fighting ability to grind out a result).

Not 1 person on this forum would choose this team in this formation.

 

Not a ton of options with injuries and suspensions either tbf.

Jorginho is not the problem. His friends are. He needs cover for his slow legs.

Some of these HT posts are possibly going to get mocked in a short while.

Tbh I’m not angry anymore. Just numb. What’s  depressing is when we scored I didn’t celebrate because I had this horrible feeling that things would go wrong. No confidence in this team whatsoever. I’ll only celebrate when we are 3-4 nil up. I don’t trust this team anymore 

Kova coming on

The fact that he has slow legs is the reason he shouldn't be playing

We all wanted to see 4.3.3 and now we criticise Tuchel for playing just that lol.

I think we are just rusty in a new system and we should have scored 3 by now.

This will end 3-1 or 4-1 unfortunately 

How is that possible. Or do you think they will cancel one of the Southampton goals

Michael Oliver is a gimp. Fabregas got a red for gently (and exquisitely) pinging it against a WBA player's head from 20 yards away, but kicking the ball into a Chelsea player's face at close range is nothing?

Nah that’s too soft…are we that bad that were desperate for handouts now. He should have kicked it harder to wake him up! 

I know he'd be out of position as he's normally on the left but could Chilly play RB?

Jorgi must be the easiest player to dribble past, also provides next to nothing going forward.

we might regret giving Azpi that new deal, he looked completely knackered after 10 minutes 

Silva is an amazing defender…… in a back 3

wondering if Kouli is actually 31 years old. 

Should never have signed Koulibaly especially on a 5yr contract. It’s nuts! We are stuck with him in a back 5 because he won’t have the legs for a back 4 in the next couple of seasons, same way we are protecting Silva. Reality is it takes away from the team offensively.

I don’t know what the worry is. Once we’ve spent another 150 million on Gordon and Fofana we’ll be absolutely unstoppable!!

And Havertz is an incredible talent!!!!!

Do you mean world player of the year and European Champion Jorginho. Italy gives him the cover, Chelsea doesn't.

Great bin the one lad who had height .. how Jorginho plays for this team is beyond me,.

I disagree slightly. Not a ton of options once Tuchel insists on starting his untouchables. He could have started Billy Gilmour in midfield, or even Carney (who we just forked out 20m for). He could have played Ampadu at the back instead of Azpi. He could also have gone with a back 5 if needing to accomodate Azpi.

Kova is on . . . a step in the right direction.  Not sure if it's enough.  Azpi, Mount, and Havertz are still on.

No just some karma for the hair pull would be nice.
