Other teams have said just low block and they tire after 70 mins then catch Chelsea on the break

Funny how everyone hated Maresca for that and his replacement literally does it from the first second as well!

That is because the job of manager at Chelsea these days is to follow orders from the SD's and owners.

37 minutes gone and absolutely nothing to get excited about so far ...

You sound surprised ;)

I think Garnacho has been dispossessed virtually every time he's touched the ball

I don't think overall we are playing as badly as some are making out. Other than Badiashille everyone up to the front four are doing their job well. Unfortunately Gittens aside, the other fron three haven't a bloody clue how to stretch a disciplined defence.

How many saves has the keeper made

Don’t understand the Buonnanotte signing, why didn’t we just keep Paez and give him 10+ apps?

Gittens playing like the weight of Maresca has been lifted off his back.

4 so far.

Get the Brighton reject off and put on a baller

I'd rather see Reggie Walsh playing than this light weight Buonanotte ...

Very few for the reason I said. Buanomotte, Garnacho and Guiu are putting in league two standard performances.

He's a horrendous player, absolutely insane we paid £40 million for someone we knew was already sh*t.

We should terminate the loan mid-season. Waste of time. I'd rather see an academy player get a chance

I'm glad Liam ditched the scarf, he was giving me Tigana vibes.

There's a lot of negativity on here but on the bright side we'd clearly hold our own in the Championship

We haven't tested the keeper once.

Still don’t know what to do 20 yards out. Now I would have thought that given his first game he would have picked his first team, got 3-0 up then made a number of changes instead of which it’s the same dross, slow build up, short 5 yard passes sideways and back, runs being made but being ignored for the safe 2 yard sideways pass…not sure why I bothered rushing home for this….

Because Paez is crap

Chukwuemeka is who we should have had more faith in ...

He's like a bring your son to work day. Any form of physicality and he crumples

Same as any cup games under maresca.

That front 4 is just piss poor.

Badiashille taking the crown for worse player on the pitch though.

Would love teams to play 442 in these games.

That just about sums it up perfectly

The complete opposite of Estevao. Estevao signed and got his head down and kept developing. Paez signed, thought he made it, started living it large and stopped developing.

If we are serious about this then Delap, Estevao and either Enzo or Pedro should come on at half time for Garnacho, Guiu and Buanonotte.
