At least Josh has been solid

FIFTEEN shots, one on target. Shocking.

Maresca currently getting less out of this squad than Pochettino managed, despite having better wingers at his disposal, and a much improved situation in general with player availability

Colwill too

The Champions League is overrated anyway imho

Enzo escapes there. We won't get another chance from this ref again

Jackson’s absolute lack of IQ and basic footballing ability cost us today. No striker should fluff that many chances at this level. 
Marescas inability to see the inevitable and make 0 changes to effect it doesn’t help either.

Poor game management 

Caicedo always drops in situations like these

We might have downgraded in managers, will see come seasons end.

This was terrible game management again.

Maresca isn’t Chelsea manager quality

And that is a massive difference that many people are ignoring SF. Maresca hasn't had anything like the injury list Potter and Poch had to contend with.

If he lost just Palmer, I think he would be in huge trouble 

I said we’d be 7th come Feb

Probably just knackered to be fair, the guy has to do so much work. 

I’m starting to hate on wacko now 

Jackson and Maresca can hold all that smoke. 
 

Dead performance from Jackson and dead game management from Maresca. 

I love Whacko Jacko and would love to see him succeed but enough to enough. He is a donkey through the middle. Surely Maresca has the smarts to figure out a good team without Jackson. 

Utter sh*t again

Well a point more than I predicted, up to 36 points.  More and I think we are comfortably safe for another season in the PL.

 

4 games, 2 goals scored, both by Palmer. 

If we lose this… then questions have to be asked.

Gusto pass was perfectly fine. Palmer messed up.

Every pass Gusto makes is either not completed or it is passed backwards.  Absolutely no need for him to pass that ball back to the keeper

We would have won imo if it wasn’t for such a needless pass from Sanchez.

We should have taken our chances and we didn’t, so all it took was a daily Sanchez f*ck up.

Shocking peformance

This is what happens when you rely on Jackson as your main striker. Need to buy a new one in January ASAP

Script writes itself now. Man-City guaranteed top 4, even if we get a 5th UCL spot, Newcastle have picked up the pace and look strong again.
