I think if Pochettino wants to play back 4 with a high line, Silva is pretty much done. It will be just like JT/Villas-Boas

 

On a brighter note, Madueke looks sharp today

what a mess for pochettino to clear up , 3seasons at least

What is the point in Loftus-Cheek? Never seen a player at this club do nothing and keep getting games.

He sets an awful tempo / tone as well. The most passive underwhelming player I’ve seen for years

Because we have no other midfielder. 

Chukwuemeka? You could put anybody there and they would have more an influence on the game.

I should add one more thing. He could get in a relegates Fulham side. What more is there to say 

Dave’s dip has surpassed Ivanovic’s.

Carney is not a midfielder. He is more of an attacker.

Think RLC has been miles better than Gallagher myself.

Pull Gallagher back and put Chukwuemeka in his spot.

always said  RLC is a player that will never achieve his potential since he started ,and in all the time hes been at chelsea hes done nothing. yet gets a game time and time again. he is not a premier league player.

Gallagher is also not really a midfielder. 🤣🤣

We just don't have any midfielder. 

 

We’ve scored a goal!! 

Get in

Fantastic set pieces 

We're staying up!!!!

It's not his best position, but I would trust Gallagher and Chukwuemeka to add something more than Loftus-Cheek in the same position.

To be fair, we responded quite well after that awful start

HAND OF GOD! EAT YOUR HEART OUT, MARADONA!

The ball went in off trippiers hand. I’ll take the goal, but I thought handball was handball. 

Own goal.

Trippier is now one of our highest goal scorers.

Enzo, what a delight when he isn't forced to play so much as DM

Madueke seems like a real talent. At least something positive.

Nope they will be worse. Ruben is better than carney or conor as midifelder. Heck we saw so many disaster when tuchel played Conor as double pivot in 343.

 

Own Goal opens his account for the season !
