Gallagher looks completely out of his depth, unfortunately. Whole midfield is awful today. Pulisic his usual terrible self.

Ok, must mean Pulisic and Gallagher to score in the second half!

At least the defense looks much tighter with Fofana.  Need another attacker.  RLC off for Broja

anyone got a book recommendation for the second half?

Haha. The Complete History of Drawing Pins 1784-2011 is a must read in this situation

After watching just 45 minutes of their new team they're already depressed.

absolutely dire - fabianski without a save to make. 

I continue to believe this is not a player issue - it's a system/coaching issue. Tuchel had the team playing with the handbrake on.

utterly joyless sh*t

Agreed. If PEA too struggles in this system then TT will have nowhere to hide.

We should be sponsored by Smirnoff - this'd drive you to drink

This system is no longer working for Tuchel 

I think that’s more due to the team selection.

I’m convinced we’d be better if we brought Lukaku, Werner, and Alonso on for the second half.

Please put someone on for Pulisic. We might score when having equal amount of players on the pitch as the opponent.

His jaw looks fine - suit him up

There's zero urgency in the attack what the hell. The most boring game I've seen all season I think

Auba realising being mugged isn't the worst thing that has happened to him this week.

Rice is commanding this match. I fully expect Tuchel to put in a 100m bid next summer.

We have to be able take one first

The corners have been fine, they’re all hitting between the penalty spot and the 6 yard box. The lack of anyone actually attacking them is the bigger concern.

3 midfielders is much better suited for our players. Gallagher needs time and experiences. 

I've Always Thought Our Crossing Situations Are Stupid For A Few Years Now, We Will Try Floated Crosses To Guys Who Are About 4ft 2, Then Whenever We Bring An Actual Striker Good In The Air We Then Negate All Crossing 

This what you called nonsense football.

How do Tuchel expect us to score? 

Switch to 343 or bring Borja up top for puli. Overload is the right hand side and pump ball to the left. If needed bring chilwell for cucu and ask him to attack the box

I’m beginning to think he got lucky with the CL - his tactics are dreadful. 300M spent and no improvement whatsoever. Roman would have sacked him by now. 

Our football wouldn’t be so boring if the ref was like this

It wouldn’t be funny if she did that to RLC

meanwhile...the player we should have signed (Ivan Toney) is smashing them in

The 2 Up Top Is Silly, Both Players Who Want The Ball To Feet And Run With It, Use A Target Man Or Someone Who Can Hold It Up Pass It Off To Either Puli Or Sterling
