I hope Potter is able to trust Chukwuemeka, Broja and Pulisic a bit more, and give them more minutes in future (especially Broja)

Point gained. 

Potter is too stubborn. Or thick headed.

Guys play terrible match after match and still in the XI. Guys play well as a sub and don't get a shot in the XI.

Sterling shouldn't be in the XI based on performance for weeks. Only reason he is is Potter's thick head. 

Very Disappointed to draw at the end but we didn't deserve a win tbh so it was a fair result. I hope Potter has realised that 3 atb is rubbish with or without James. Also, loftus cheek is only a squad player and we need to trust our youngsters a bit more.

Broja is a special player, every time he's on the pitch he makes some magic happen while everybody else gets frozen as soon as they get the ball around the box. He has to start for us, invest in him mr. Potter you won't regret. And even if he does fail at times he's still young, Aubameyand and Sterling have no excuse.

Why would you change a players position who was scoring goals and was our top player this is what Potter  has done with Sterling  destroyed his confidence and disrupted his form. Sick of this happening with every player we buy at Chelsea. Play the players in the position they played in for their previous teams that's the reason we bought them. Madness !!!

Not his fault trust me, I thought before that our manager didn't use properly a player but it turned out he's just wack. If Sterling was a great player Pep wouldn't dare sell him to us, he needs De Bruyne for tap-ins.

It's gutting to lose the win in injury time against a big 6 side. We always suffer from it.

Picked up a point on Liverpool, but need to start watching out for Newcastle 😞

Second game at home to a top 4 rival, second time we let in an equalizing header in the dying seconds deep in stoppage time.

Once again United are well under their best, once again we do not punish them. Even though the ref actually gave us a decision against them for a very rare change.

So poor to drop 4 points to United and Spurs at the death. Shockingly poor, United did not even have any attackers on.

First we need is a world class midfielder. 

Yes, and a backup for Reece. Then we just pray the offensive players suddenly find some quality. 

Potter f’ed up big time with that starting formation, but props for not delaying a change.
 

Honestly. It’s crazy how long this team has been shi**ing bricks as soon as they go 1-0 up now. Like an obscene amount of years. How come? Lack of experience? Confidence? Opposition scoring within minutes seems to always be the encore. Especially in these «big» games. There is just something fundamentaly wrong at some level. I’m just so sick of it. 

Feels like a loss. Need to see these out. 
The future looks bright though - can see some real quality pacey strong players coming thru.

Yep, those 2 needless headers at the death at home really hurt

Gutted to draw after us going ahead not long before.

 

Kepa was so close to making another big save 

We are so bad to watch, no flow to our play, no urgency, players that wouldn’t get in Fulham’s team are nailed on starters.

It looks like we’ve had our pants pulled down in both the signing of Sterling and Cucurella.

If we finish top 6 I’ll be amazed.

Gutted

Can’t feel too aggrieved over the draw, but it hurts to concede so late.  I feel like this would have been a very different game if Reece James and Kante were fit.

I have seen a lot of these posts. I am a big fan of Reece James but how can his injury have any bearing on the inept performance of Sterling,  Aubameyang, Cucure and RLC, and bang average performances from Jorginho, Azpi, Mount. No creativity,  no passion, touch, passing quality and control of a championship side. Only two players that can hold their heads up, Chalobah who was great, and Silva.

Kepa did okay. They were as sh*t as us so Kepa couldn't help buy have an okay game. His lack of height cost in the end.

Much as I really rate the boy I just cannot see how the inclusion of a fit Reece James would have solved all of these underlying issues.

EDIT: Sorry Dave that wasn't a dig at your post at all, I was just picking up a post regarding ReecexJames to illustrate my point.

Silva and Chalobah were nowhere to be found at the cross that resulted in us conceding the goal though, both just surrendered there and Chilwell was alone.

Lack of quality. The best teams don't concede late equalisers this often. We sh*t ourselves when we score and have something to defend.

Jorginho and RLC as a midfield 2 is asking for trouble IMO.

They make Eriksen look like a whippet.

Looking at the replay, Chillwell should have been stronger to win that header or at least keep Casemiro off it.

Yep, I thought Roy Keane was bang on, Chilwell didn’t have the desire to win that header.

We will always struggle with our current midfielders. The lack of creativity & ability to score from that area really hurts us.

Being a flaky right winger in my day, I am not the best on this, but as the ball was thrown in from their left wing shouldn't Chalobah and Silva have picked up the middle. For a back post overload shouldn't first of all Chilwell make a better attempt than his weak powder puff token of a challenge, but shouldn't one of the recovering midfielders make to the back post to support Chilwell in defending that zone.
