So when Gusto struggles at right back we move him to left back and inverting to midfield. i guess the system is the system at this point - just not a fan.

Feels like a Europa conference league game

Gusto is the backup LB, RB, CM, winger, GK don't you know

This fcker has bored the sh*t out of me already. These rubbish, gutless tactics from this bloody manager will turn every game into a major contest. This could well be a struggle.

Nice dribble and shot by Delap. Needs to watch that - he’ll get subbed for shooting!

The do look lively on the break.

No real rhythm or patterns yet. Another game we start slow and play to the opposition rather than the assertive start we’d like to see.

Hard to get a rhythm when a backup RB has a lot of the ball, the backup CM at the RW and our SS is at the 10 playing with a new CF

How was that not even a yellow, let alone a VAR review. High foot into Noni’s leg.

I really like Acheampong and I really want him to succeed but his passing and decision making needs a massive improvement. He needs to get up to the required level quickly

I think santos should change his position to RB. He’d get plenty of CM playing time!

It’s so poor today all over the pitch Scott H, Ax & co will be gutted they missed it! 🤣

Seen this fking match so many times. It is so draining. Same old sh*t

I was packing for a trip and stopped to watch this. Packing was more interesting.

You just know we'll end up conceding first. Our lot will be bolloxed by half time. 100 degrees.

Enzo is looking very active, unlike several of his teammates.

The close up of them (Chelsea players) standing over the free kick. You could see them all absolutely dripping with sweat

Listening on the crystal set was an alternative to getting out of bed. In the end, I have. Found a good stream.

Yep, two South Americans on the bench, played in these conditions all their lives. Still let's go with KDH from the tropical micro climate of Leicestershire

What's the cooling break for? They barely broke a sweat

There must be enough indoor NFL stadiums with air conditioning to play these matches safely for the players and crowd and be a better spectacle, FIFA have the 💰

They actually needed to do some sprints to warm up

Came home from work late...should have stayed at work when I looked at the line up. Maresca clearly wants to go home. I've never seen such a combined load of sh*t as this....I guess this is the 11 that are on the transfer list bar Delap and Lavia.

Clearly the Esperance manager has watched our season review video already. Low block boys and they will be ours, mwah mwah mwah

Is Maresca fining players for putting the ball into the box?

Yes, it looks like Trump's not the only one wheeling out a bomb squad from the States

This ref has poor positioning, he's always in the path of the ball or in the most congested area of the pitch

Point proven. Twat of a ref

That was a good shot
