Chelsea away

So… Mount should be off and one flukey worldie and a sloppy second, we go in all square at half time. On the balance of play it might be a fair score line but you can’t be two up and let it slip in the five mins before half time… ffs. Only we can **** things up this quickly…

[Irishnev]

Those deep runners and the pace our midfield have really struggled with. I don't think we played well in that half. Milner and Fab in particular had very poor halves imo.

I’m going to get pelters for this but Henderson and Milner are miles off the pace. All last ditch and no composure - Hendo in particular has been shocking with the ball. Blowing out of his arse trying to chase back - I can’t believe we have him an extended contract. Last season our defensive injuries and no cover ****ed us and now it’s midfield. 36 year old Milner and an abject Hendo away to Chelsea is ****ing a recipe for disaster

We may go onto win but without Fab and Thiago playing together we can forget about control in midfield

Mount was lucky, so was Sadio for his stupid arm.

Mane was a red - Mount didn’t look it for me……stupid rather than malicious

all three lads in midfield have been really poor. Slow and lazy imo. Virgil was terrible for that last goal too, also lazy. Need to get our assets in gear ffs.

I think that’s fair. If the mane one hadn’t been in the first seconds, he would have been deservedly sent off.

Hendo hasnt been good last few games, but he was excellent earlier in the season when we were blowing teams away.

I agree though, he and Milner together is not what we want to be seeing.

Its Thiago that they (we) all miss, as he is so comfortable on the ball no matter when or where he receives it. I'd like to see Keita on for Milner second half. May as well go for it.

[BootRoom]

Not overpowered no, Chelsea has been better in transition. Each time we’ve lost the ball they’ve been all over it first and trying to overload our wings.

We need someone who can put his foot on the ball and slow the game down.

Milner and Henderson look like they're running in 5ft of treacle, and Fab doesn't look fit. They are way off it.

Momentum is everything. We are stumbling our way through these recent fixtures… for whatever reason, our mojo just isn’t there.

[Buzzo]

Centre backs absolutely hopeless here.

Van Dijk looks wrecked. Covid? He needs to move across and pass the guy he is on to Tsmikas.

Should play naby from the start. Make the most of him while we can.

[danperkins]

I think Virgil was just lazy

I have to keep my Hendo bashing in check - I just see him getting worse and worse and shouting at others to do his work. His bloody contract extension was a joke…….. anyway

A bit of composure in midfield and this game is there for us

[Irishnev]

Yep - casual, Milner the same fir the free kick leading up to Kovacic goal + Trent for the Pulisic chance

I think at 2-0 we need to be a bit smarter and sit in a bit.

We always seem to keep the pitch massive and that invites decent teams back in. We have 3 playing forwards at all times. Full backs up high. If we lose the ball teams ca rip right through us.
