Twat pundits bringing up the money spent and players playing out of position. Can pundits not do a single bit of homework? Chilwell is injured, Gusto is suspended and James is injured, who else can play LB and RB? Punditry in football is so bad. They don't do any research.

On the plus side, at least Man utd are losing as well. Another terrible piece of defending and Onana just letting it in underneath his arm.

Thought at the time we should’ve bought Onana but I’m glad we dodged that bullet.  He’s a lose cannon that’s terrible at saving the football from hitting the back of the net.

Disasi can play right back while cucurella or maatsen can play left back. Playing colwill at left back is cowardly 

What is the point of Pochettino  no style of play no passion slow boring football against a Championship level team. Of course  the owners are to blame for buying all these average players and producing one of the worst Chelsea teams imaginable but surely a manager of his apparent standings should have some sort of style of play this is  mostly rubbish pub level football played with no imagination. You can not spend 1 billion and regularly turn out this relegation sh*te

From what I have heard of Maatsen, he can't defend. The game against Fulham was a sign of that when he wouldn't track back. Disasi may be able to play RB, but he doesn't have the same mobility that Colwill has at LB.

Want to see a lot more from Enzo. Show us the World Cup winning quality. 

And overall mroe effort. If we start the half slow we’ll sink into an infuriating pattern. 

Honestly after watching that Beckham mini series on Netflix, we need a bit of Sir Alex in the dressing room

I thought we saw a hint of something v Fulham but we've the same guys out there today (except Sterling) in the same positions and they are back to looking like a bunch of strangers. Really frustrating

When is Pochettino going to stamp his own style on the team? I'll ask what I asked a few weeks back, does he have his own style of football or does he just try and improve on what a team was already doing? Because I have seen nothing different compared to recent seasons.

None of those sides did that. Mourinho's teams hit Drogba or wings as quick as possible. Ancelotti was about getting it into the attack with quick attacks. Conte used the defenders a bit more, but it was still about getting it to Hazard or Willian quickly.

Playing out of the back like we do started under Sarri. A ton of passes amongst the CB's looking for an opening that doesn't come. We try and play like City, but we will never be like them. I want us to play with high energy and quick attacking play.

They did pass around at the back, but then we had players like Robben, Duff, J Cole, Malouda, Anelka, Hazard, Willian and Pedro for the quick transition and were deadly going forward. 
 

Cant just lump it forward if nothings on.

I thought he had a pretty decent 1st half, but we need more movement and more power from the attacking players.

It's not about hitting a long ball forward. It's movement and quick passing, that would be enough of a change to what we are seeing now. Get the ball out of defence and into midfield or the wings quickly. Teams sitting back will like nothing more than to see a team passing it amongst their defenders.

Referees are such a joke. Beyond all the VAR debacle surrounding the game, anytime a player opens their mouth or even makes eye contact they throw a yellow card out. They’re playing to the pantomime 

I know a lot of people have a soft spot for him but I'm glad Broja's off I don't think he'll ever be good enough for us.

Jackson is very raw but I do think he has a lot more upside he's a much more intelligent footballer with a lot better linkup play.

it's a good question. hard to tell from his track record - at PSG he'd such talent there he probably just let them get on with it
