Fofana could be the biggest waste of money out of the lot of these players we have signed. He's an absolutely sh*t defender. He's slow, his tackling is terrible, he can't contain, he's bad in 1v1's. What did people see in him before we signed him?

It's his first start since 1st October ... probably needs a run of games ? 

This is obviously not all on the manager, but on paper he has so much to work with, but we just look absolutely woeful.

He also needs to be showing something right now though. Chalobah is better than him.

Even Trev has his moments...

He's literally just come back from a bad injury mate lol. 

Kovacic looks absolutely done now. Which I think is the main reason our play has deteriorated.

Starting to slowly unravel now. Misplaced and understand passes, needless fouls and a loss of tempo. Can see us conceding at this rate. We need a spark from somewhere

Was a typical chelsea signing. Rather than look for the under the radar, unknown version of fofana that leicester purchased a year earlier, we instead get all excited about a standout 6 month period (pre injury) and throw silly money to get him. Very risky. Scouts are rubbish. 

I think we should adopt a new strategy. 

1. Identify the latest flavour of the month we want to purchase from leicester or brighton (or the like)

2. unsettle the player by leaking to the press 

3. enter negotiations. offer £100m. say we will wait for you to secure a replacement etc

4. once said team knows who they want to sign to replace said player, go all in to gazump them, Willian style. 

5. pull out of initial conversation - leaving 1x unhappy player and 1x pissed off rival

Koulibaly getting mugged off by Aaronson again. 

Leeds should just play 10 forwards.  We can't score anyway.

That’s the future France CB Pairing we have, he’s a top talent he will come good

Only having scored in 4 of our last 16 games, I haven't seen anything so far to suggest that today will be any different.

I'd slap a tenner on Kaleidoscope Klownability to score an own goal. 

Well, we may have peaked today. Last 15 mins Leeds have looked the more likely side. 

my paitence with Kai has finally run out. he is such a poser

Koulibaly is killing me. What a massive downgrade from Silva he is.

That must of been the 4th or 5th cross from Chilwell to Havertz, i cant decide who's fault it is, Chilwell for not finding the perfect cross, or Kai for not finding the right position.

i just want us to score a goal 

Villa beating palace so currently 11th....

Bring on Chalobah. KK is having a horrible game. SOOOO slow

To be fair, they got it right with Badiashille who might be better than Fofana. 

give Fofana some time also though, just coming back. Looks solid enough to me 

Another 45 minutes. Another blank. So fun to watch. Very similar to last few games - good first 10 mins, then just it all disappears.

Well this has the Southampton game and tragic ending written all over it as Brighton and Villa to continue to score - Spurs continue to be frustrated in the first half and the champions elect are losing at home to Bournemouth.

@Valerie ice cream?

I've eaten a bag of mixed nuts. Wrong choice?

Well, there is improvement at least. We played decent for 35 minutes instead of 15........

Chilwell has been quality, what has Havertz done apart from trying to score a fancy goal and f**king it up?
