The defensive positioning of the Betis players has been world class.

Has it though? We're just making it so easy for them, not even probing or running at them.

Haven't even tested the keeper.

Badders been watching Lavia in training with the through balls

Gusto is literally all over the place

Compare our wingers to theirs

Said for so long that Gusto is a crap footballer and tonight is his opus. Should already have been subbed by now.

He's been appalling this season. But I don't think he's a bad footballer.

Looked a quality traditional full back last season. Like most of our players hopeless in this briandead style of play. Sitting in midfield most of the time, absolute load of bo**ocks.

@Valerie a beer for your thoughts

@mojo We're f**ked, Betis are really up for it, they'll play to the death.

Jackson is really good.... ball sticks to him like glue

Jorgenson, Gusto, and Badiashille, not started a single game since the 2nd leg on the 8th May, which was a dead rubber.

This is up there with one of the worst team selections ever.

I don't think Jorgensen is much worse than Sanchez but playing Gusto over James is ridiculous

Both can be true. They are not allowing a lot of space. Not that we would know how to take advantage of it, though.

There are a number of players in our team incapable of playing at pace fizzing balls in. So the tempo comes out which just plays into their hands. Add to that our crap defence and its a recipe for disaster

Gusto useless

Gusto had been shocking,

But that's on Maresca. He was outstanding last season as a traditional fallback, but has shown time and again he can't do this inverted nonsense.

If Isco was just 15 years younger I think we'd have a look at him in the summer

We're so slow they could get their deck chairs out before we put the ball in their box

Do we really have nobody better than noni?

Why is noni on the pitch

ITS SO f**kING SLOW!!!

That was a cunning corner.

Jeez. Chelsea have to be the most boring team to watch these days. This first half is going like so many before. Pass, pass, pass, get nowhere, lose possession, go a goal down, panic.

f**king corner

Too slow with the passing and not brave enough playing forward

Why can't we play Madueke RW and Neto LW so they can cut in?

It's not like we have an aerial threat to cross to
