I wouldn't be against hooking Palmer later on, assuming the score stays the same, and throwing Jackson on at the inside left position, with Neto moving to RW. It'll be interesting to see if Jackson and Delap together might be a viable option. Delap has to be central, obviously.

Fabulous defending from James there.

That's so lazy Reece!

It’s almost as though he’s not a CM

Sanchez been very solid after those two miss placed passes first half.

What just happened there

Chelsea leading the way with a breakaway scoredown that would make Old Glory weep in this all-American soccer ball showdown.

Defense locked tighter than Fort Knox. Rocket Rob’s locked in, focused on delivering a first-half lockout. Not a sin bin in sight.

And thank the football gods, Donkey Jackson’s not out there hoofing balls into orbit.

Foam fingers at the ready for the 3rd and 4th quarters…

It’s life Jim………. But not as we know it

James ain’t a midfielder. Gusto ain’t a right back in this system. How can Maresca not see it.

James has had a few WTF moments tonight. Not his best game.

Well they both played for Chelsea.

Clearly doesn't remember his heroics during our 2015 League Cup campaign.

Great recovery though. A crucial deflection.

Nothing to do with position this time. He's done that same mistake on the right side as well.

Because inside that bald head is an ego so bloated it thinks it can turn water into wine or a hogs ear into a silk purse

When has he done that playing RB? What game and what minute.

Asking our wingers to beat a fullback seems like an impossible ask.

Either play Gusto as a WB or dont play him, either play James as a RB or dont play him, either play Sanchez as a GK OR DONT PLAY HIM

Game against Flovidance FC on minute 2,5 or 5,6. Not sure

Maresca's tinkering too much tbh

Are you making teams up and inventing a new way to measure time?

Take as old as time

Any day now please

Sanchez had a blinder of a save there

1-1

Riding our luck in this second half.

Big save from Sanchez, but think their forward should have done a lot better there,
