That was so weird, two in the box one defender, Kenny still kicks it you the one defender..

Dcl getting slated on here,? 50 yd lashes upfield against 2 defenders and he hasn't produced . (laughable)

I know we’re hoofing it to him asking him to work miracles

 

[BigBlueConk]

Obvs Sam didnt think we were going to hang on either.

[ToffeeTim]

Well that's just great

 

[collymcd]

I'm guessing Sam wants two strikers up top to chase the long balls. If we can sort out or defending it might work.

 

[Toffeelover]

Sandro? should have been Vlasic or is he sick as well.

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Not sure why we made those changes, looks chaotic atm.

It was really poor. The lack of ability from our full backs is just another reason why we struggle to keep the ball so much.

 

[the golden visionary]

Both of Chelseas clear cut chances have come off defensive lapses. The one off the line was from a poor defensive header from cuco, and the pedro chance was off keanes bad pass.

The one worry is the amount of balls they're fizzing across the 6 yard box, we're getting away with it as there's no proper striker making the run but if conte put one on well have to stop that cross coming in otherwise it's curtains

Oh oh, Gana looked like he was holding his hammy

 

[MACCA75]

Overall, a good performance so far.

We've restricted them to little. The only time Pickford has been tested was when Jags covered - and if you watch, that chance came about because of two wicked deflections.

We've shown when we've pressed and won the ball back that we can test them. We've just not had the quality on the ball so far - something that Rooney has provided in recent weeks.

Anyone asking for changes or saying we've been crap knows nothing at all about this sport.

Sam obviously knows nothing about the sport

 

[ijjysmith]

Oh Jesus. The one player I didn't want injured.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Game over. 5 nil Chelsea.

what? they gonna score now? looks like ur streams is ahead of mine

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I would guess the thinking is that three at the back gives the Kenny and Cuco more opportunity to attack... if Gana is injured we’re in big trouble here
