Anyone saying a prayer for Ben White after his yellow card for not very much?

    naz Michael Oliver always allows that. Then he gives out yellows for nothing. He's a consistently terrible ref.

      Panda I was happy with the half as well. Chelsea have some very powerful runners. Which would be nice to have on our end as well. - I miss Cala, lol.
      We just need to contain them. And get Ode on the ball

        Leo for Nelly and Merino for Rice please.

          naz Indeed he would. We need a slightly different profile out there in such a situation. Someone with blistering pace, just to get away and pull those guys away and give our guys space to exploit.

              How come Neto is playing for Chelsea and not for us? Can we talk about it, seeing as he already moved so is retroactively signable?

              Guess he'd be injured, anyway.

                Kai's been anonymous for the most part too. No service

                Martinelli's confidence is in the dumps. His tentativeness in how to tried to take his chance was telling. He never hides but it is just not happening for him when it counts.

                We are still too slow in our build up and play without much intuition going forward.

                Bigger concern for me though is that our defence doesn't look like the best defence in the league which it should be. We need to quickly raise our level on one end of the pitch to League best and the other end will automatically show improvement.

                Coombs

                I was hoping we signed him in the summer, but his injury record and g/a contributions aren't comforting. Better than Sterling, though.

                  Chelsea are fucking shit but I think they'll nick this 1nil.

                  Very poor from Saliba there, lucky again
