We do have a choice, he's on the bench right now.

Bang your head against a brickwall, i said Sanchez shouldn’t be playing and someone shouted me down, when is this coach going to wake up and drop him?

I’m away for a bath as I’ve just found out Paul Merson agrees with me.

i feel dirty.

Confident we will blow them away second half.

We shouldn’t we have been our own worst enemy.

Questioning if Colwill is really good enough. The slips were so poor, but both goals 

First - Conwill did not defend the ball or run of the man. Not aware enough

Second - just marked the space and could have got much closer to the man prior to the shot 

needs to command his space better. 

The problem is the coaching. They don't seem to be coaching how to defend in the traditional sense, they seem to be coached to defend by playing with the ball. It's resulting in all of our defenders skipping the basics and I feel it will hurt them in the long run. Doesn't matter how much the game changes, you still need to get the basics of defending right.

Which is a f**king rookie mistake!

What you going to do Maresca? 

 

Make changes so we can get a win, or see us limp to failure in another big game?

Which is a f**king rookie mistake!

Palmer has been missing also.

Lavia has been brilliant, but due to the yellow, I would move Caicedo into CM and bring Gusto on at RB. Makes sense. Also bring Tosin on for Badiashile.

Gusto would crumble against Son I reckon and Forster is faster than Tosin.

Poor first half. Expect much better in second. In these conditions need to get some earlier shots off. 

Lavia playing welll. Enzo looks good also. Great goal from Sanchez. 

Sancho might be replaced by Jorgensen soon enough. Very poor distribution again 

You might want to reconsider what you've posted there 😉

Felix is on the rise, he should have playing time sooner than later.

Our team came out unprepared. The occasion got to them. This is why we won't be title challengers this season

Merson is a Chelsea supporter

I don’t think you’d find a fan who doesn’t want Jorgensen in . The trouble is no one reckons Maresca drops Sanchez. Maybe today is the straw that breaks the Camel’s back.

Here’s hoping.

I think given the benchmark set with VAR we got lucky. I don’t think he even got booked 😂

The leg breaker challenge on Palmer in the Leicester game was on a different level and VAR didn't do a thing about that.

If he wasn’t an academy graduate he’d be getting some of the stick that Badiashile and Disasi get.

Yep. We are opening them up with ease, but horrible forward play from Jackson and players at the back sh*tting themselves is what is holding us back.

Hope Spurs get a big fine for throwing stuff at our guys when taking the corners... also hope they force them to put up cages around their supporters near the corner spots - scumbags.

I think we are struggling with their turn of pace. Gusto could be good. Also, Lavia is one challenge away from getting sent off and Tosin can't be any worse than the performance Badiashile put in.

looked like he went with moulded studs and switched to screw in

Pretty amateur mistake to make at this level, no? I doubt the player picked the boots himself.

I know but that doesn’t preclude him from being a muppet.

Looks like Gusto is coming on

Yep, Gusto stripped. Good decision. As I suggested. Most likely for Lavia, I reckon who also took a blow end of first half.
