Nearly all are so called better players are having poor games.

Fofano is having a mare, as if the occasion has got to him.

James and Chilwell keep getting caught with the ball, James lost it for the goal. 
Enzo is misplacing passes.

Felix utter sh*t.

Only 1-0 so still to play for. James could be the key down the right.

Kante and Silva only ones at the moment giving good performances.

Kova seems to have forgotten how to dribble and put defences on the back foot.

He’s was alright last week, someone had all ready pre-battered the sh*t out of him. I reckon I could have taken him…

Felix too, he missed a great chance and has constantly lost the ball ever since

Story of his time here, yet he always starts. Must be in the loan agreement cause he looks just a s overhyped show pony.

How about Mount on for Kovacic? He’d make us much more dangerous. 

Honestly don't know what will work anymore. The squad just feels completely broken. We have tried everything this season and nothing has worked.

We’ve had 2 very chances that we’ve not scored. That’s the difference. We don’t take our chances.

In a sense that he has being our best player every game. Hasnt being very influental in this one yet.

He can’t do it alone. Done some really nice passing in the first half, don’t understand any criticism of him at all

Mount for kova all day. Then personally I think Sterling has been every bit as Havertz l's worse games this season. Just isnt doing anything, doesn't dribble, makes poor runs, cant finish.

Our attack is abysmal.

This is exactly why I was defending some elements of the Villa performance.

I don't get why we sacked him just to appoint Lampard, what's that going to achieve 😭

 

Questions need to be asked about the people making the footballing decisions right now

Main observations so far...

- Koulibaly is just not up to the task of playing for Chelsea.

- Enzo needs to sort himself out and keep the ball better - worst I've seen him since he joined.

- Another glaring example of how much we need a solid number 9. Sterling, Havertz, Mount, Felix, Mudryk, Pulisic, Ziyech - whoever plays its always the same story. Nice technical ability, few good touches here and there but our attack stops there.

Watch his positioning closely and compare it to Silva's. He's all over the shop. 

They are playing different positions lol 

Fofana has being worse.

Has Gallardo officially left River? If he's our man just get him in now.

No one pays 11m for a 6 month loan just to keep the player on the bench. Problem is that we want to buy him. Maybe he would shine in a well-oiled mechanism, but the 1v1 misses are unjustifiable.

I think he is not 100 % fit. But he also looks to be sulking a lot these days. Not sure what`s going on with him. Maybe the praise got to his head a little bit.

I noticed it even in his breakthrough season. He has these games where he barely gets out of a jog. He's capable of being the best full back in the world, but he doesn't look like he is in the mood every game.

if we keep it at0-1 it will be a great result

It's the only way he plays these days. One sprint per game is all he seems to manage. Incredibly lazy footballer at times.

He's also not getting released in attack nearly as often as he was under Tuchel. Same goes for Chilwell.

We had a system that was built around them two causing havoc. Now, and under Potter that all changed.

Time to use those subs Frank.

 

chalobah > Fofana 

Mount > Kovacic

Havertz > Felix

Mudryk > Sterling

 

You tried something, it has not worked, time to try something else.

RLC warming up. FFs

I just don’t trust Frank to do what’s necessary. Hope to be proven wrong.

Fofana is young and lacking CL experience. Understandable and forgivable.

Thats how i see it too. I would say chillwell has being slightly more impressive than James

Same. Feels like I am watching a different game. Enzo isn`t great defensively but he was better than many others so why single him out?

so James can play RCB

I'm on the Talisker - should I be switching to a luckier whisky for the second half?

What does Frank say for the half time team talk?

If we had gotten the same chance as RM scored, we probably would have fluffed that too. Given our fortune this season.
