Isn't that his purpose ?

Probably in silly modern day broadcasting

Missing Tark’s leadership. No one seems arsed

 

[Rita_Poon]

besides 2 youth players, chelsea spent £520 million on their starters today. with £105 million of signings on the bench.

As awful as that was, it’s only one goal and could’ve easily been worse. A couple changes at half and leave the final 3 for last 15-30.

What really sucks is by the end of the weekend Man United, Wolves, West Ham, and Spurs could all be higher than us. Again. We would literally, again, be sitting at 17. Being safe is good. But yet again, 17th.

 

[DanEFC92]

Just no creativity or pace. Any sort of buildup is slow and laboured.

 

[D. Amokachi]

If you watch overlap Baz (toffeeTV) raises this and spit says their not biased (then said ‘you had no problem when it was Andy gray’).

It’s bollocks - you shouldn’t commentate on your own team.

Barney Ronay talks about this problem of partisan commentators and pundits on this weeks Football Weekly podcast. It’s particularly bad for European matches involving English teams. There’s no analysis - just hysterical cheerleading.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

I’m very laid back, and generally keep myself to myself. And hate is a very strong word I don’t like to use. But I hate everything about Cucurella; his hair, diving, ref conning, dirty deliberate discrete studs up challenges, grabby armsy defending style, and face.

 

[wellillwill]

Meh. Been outplayed but that's a low xG shot that's crept in there. Still in it.

 

[HTCHERO]

Get off your knuckles and try and catch up with the rest of us.

Sorry snowflake

 

[davek]

I dont think O'Brien will have a great day today. Not enough PL experience on that right side at CB, and he'll be dragged over bailing Patterson out all day.

Chelsea will target our right side all day long.

Vault me on that.

As predicted ^^^^

I am 100% certain that of all those you list, Spurs won't be.

 

[NathDogg]

Played fine IMO. One mistake and a quality finish really.

Patto looks solid enough too

Agreed, fairly solid all round, just some shocking footy and mistakes to gift them the goal. The jarg reffing isn’t helping us either.

If we had a little more composure in attack there’s opportunities for us, but I say that every game.

Doucure, Harrison and Beto can’t control a footy or pass 5 yards, so frustrating.

 

[Zeke]

Well that was fun!!

hoping charly comes on and shows what a 10 looks like
