Our midrange passes forward have been poor but the long passes have been great. Pitch conditions showing.
Saliba hasn’t been at his best so far
Eze is tired, those pre-christmas minutes coming back to haunt him
Gunner89 Eze is tired, those pre-christmas minutes coming back to haunt him
He's not laboured, he just doesn't know where to be
Rice is doing all the work I'd expect of Zubi.
But Zubi offers nothing once he shifts forward.
Madueke with a hospital pass.
Looking tired now. I hope Arteta gets his subs right tonight.
Come on Eze - do something
banduan
He looks too casual and off the pace,
banduan yeah looks a bit lost.. reminds me when we first adopted the system, players didn't know where to move..
We're playing like shit.
daredevil He looks too casual and off the pace,
Like I said, he just doesn't know where to be. So the ball can't find him, and when he's found he doesn't know where the next move is.
Less shitball, more funball please.
GooneriC Less shitball, more funball please.
Our passing hasn't been great going forward, makes it look like we're more conservative than we are.
Only positive is that we're not pressing like mad and exerting much energy
Rosenior just come to play defensive
My main concern is Kepa, he can make us concede v easy chances
Baffling why he starts most of the first X1 and then puts us with that handicap
Neville praising plucky little Chelsea for keeping it tight with 9 men behind the ball when they're already a goal down is fucking pathetic.
Qwiss Exactly. The commentators on my stream are deep throating them too, they're losing and playing a 5 4 1 with a CM and centerforward as their wingers, and we've created the better opportunities.
banduan Yep, we're making so many poor decisions and misplacing so many easy passes. We'd be dominating this match if we just did the basics right on the ball.
Pepe LeFrits and it's Chelsea not Wolves or Luton. They spend more money than we do.
And we are the ones with the lead.

Tbh, it's not a bad strategy. They can't afford to concede. It's more important for them to keep us out and hope we somehow fuck it up passing it around our back.
We almost had them with that Martinelli chance when they tried to press us high up the pitch.
I'd expect a very different 2nd half.
