Nice to see Branthwaite getting a vote on the MoM poll so far.

Gutted KDH gone off injured - hope not a bad one. Was just hitting real form.

might stop us putting garner at RB too, which we do need to do until we get a proper RB.

 

[Titus Shambles]

Same predictable responses from the usual suspects every time we lose a game. Weak stuff.

No, no, no. This week we're blaming luck. Next week we'll be back to blaming the officials.

Nice to see Branthwaite getting a vote on the MoM poll so far.

Probably from his agent whilst he's waiting to sort out his January transfer

Moyes with another frustrating display from the sideline. But that ends in a draw on a different day. Now he has some real management to do instead of picking the same players setup which he decided before the season started. We shall see how it goes.

I love Davey but he has been frustrating me lately.

I'm not one to believe a manager makes that much of a difference tactically, players win games.

But a manager needs to be clued up on what their players are good at and pick the team accordingly.

He has been failing massively in that department over the last while and I don't see what he sees at all.

Badly need a couple of full backs and a half decent centre forward... O Brien had acres of space and time in the 1st half and just tripped over himself, I'd honestly cut our losses on beto and Barry at this stage, Barry will never be good enough, so awkward, he'll run around and try hard, but he will never be good enough for the Premier league

It wasn’t mentality it was a lack of quality. We are definitely moving in the right direction though.

Best thing I can say is we play the same way regardless of score/injuries, building out from the back etc.

That got us the win at Utd, just bad finishing and decision making let us down today.

 

[Richard Alex]

Bit of a strange game TBH. Could have scored a few goals but I thought we looked off it. I thought Chelsea did as well.
KDH was a blow, especially the way he’s been playing lately. May have been a different game.

 

[WilliamBoo]

Next time put Moyes in the poll as well

 

[summerisle]

Think I'll bin the second half and instead make some mince pies.

Good move, mince pies are delicious.

 

[Kurt.]

We just weren’t at the races today, we looked slow, sloppy in possession, gave the ball away too much with loose passes, Chelsea were just better than us on the day.

 

[Bwana]

Mick Keane was anonymous, I do agree. But not even on the menu for MoM anonymous?

 

[HappyJack]

Get a striker in in January. Sell or loan the Beto and Baz…

 

[Zatara]

Motm Alcaraz or Garner by a margin and then Ndiaye.

Thought for the most part we were OK, conceded two naive/soft goals when we were the better side, after the 2nd went in I think the match generally drifted toward the end, the Barry/Beto swap just seems a waste of sub, can't say who was MOTM as there wasn't really a stand out player
