I would consider switching to 4 at the back. With Maatsen coming on in front of Chilwell on the left

We are playing 4 at the back. Chilwell is playing LW and Colwill LB. Has been like that the last 2 games as well.

Not been great despite a good goal from Sterling. Not much of an attacking threat. No fluidity, very cautious. Nothing happening from midfield. Chilwell no threat on the left. Just doesn’t look like a balanced side. 

From wishing Sterling was on the bench all of preseason to relying solely on him during the season.

Colwill is certainly not playing like any modern fullback. He's barely crossed the halfway line once and never once overlapped.

To me it looks like a very traditional back 3.

Players are clearly not very loose. Pressure to win a match perhaps. This is where you need your experienced players to step up. We really don't have many 😅

Found myself watching Netflix on the second screen. We make cricket a fast-paced and exciting game.

Oh dear.

If there has been ANY sporting contest that has been more nail-bitingly exciting than this year's Ashes series. I certainly haven't seen it.

f**king hell , I'm coming off this forum , full of whingers and moaners, I should have gone tonight instead of reading this depressing negative stuff. We'll probably f**k it up knowing us , so it'll be wonderful for our " fans" on here later.

Good night

Come on you BLUES 

😂, 

You could copy and paste a description of this performance from the same match day threads from years ago, just replace Hazard’s name with Sterling. 

The football and setup is a real cause for concern. 

Disasi is not looking great is he

We should've finished this game in that first half

This'll be nail biting in the last minutes 

This is amazing. We’ve scored an amazing goal and they haven’t scored any. The progression we’re displaying after losing our last game, totally unfairly it must be said, is to be lauded.

What does Poch say at HT.

Gimme more lacklustre, that's what I want lads?

If it wasn’t for that goal, he’d be getting a lot more attention, of the wrong kind. 

Early days yet but it’s looking like another Sarr.

Why the f**k isn't he shooting!!!

Jackson not having the best game so far, but I feel like our attack is far too isolated, we've got far too many defensive minded players on the pitch, get Disasi and Gallagher off and let the boys have a go at it ffs. 

Chilwell, just shoot man!

All three games have been different. There is not really anything consistant in our football.

Chilwell just shoot for Christ sake. Man up 

What was Chilwell doing?? Just shoot

lol

Jackson is a poor finisher.

Oh why Chilly. Clear chance. No need to pass.

Brilliant work by Chilwell and he doesn't take the shot! What is that about?

Someone in this team needs to grow a pair and take control. They’re scared of their own shadows
