Yeah probably our best player today. Tony Gale on commentary was impressed with him

Thank God for Arsenal. Relying on other teams fcking up, as we ain't scoring. Bored of Harrison and Aaronson, who offer nothing. I'd rather see Gray or Perkins get a chance. WH gd going back to what it was before is also a plus.

It's not going to improve EB. We've been saying the same old crap for years so it would've improved by now if it was going to. We've bought very mediocre players who basically are in a league too high for their own good. We have all these wingers/forwards and all but one has no scoring ability whatsoever....the ONE is currently injured because of the fkn prick in charge previously. The midfielders never score and the defenders rarely score so it's inevitable where we will be in the league. The same will happen nx season as well regardless of the league we're in unless we go out and get an out n out striker who has the basic knack of putting the ball on the net. It matters not one jot the tactics, formation , style or anything else but if one cannot score goals then one won't win games.

I thought Aaronson was lively first half but trailed off in the second.

Clutching at straws naming kids who have no experience. We are playing ok - we are hopeless in the final 3rd. Rutter isn’t the answer, he is nowhere near ready to play consistently at this level.
We need Rodrigo back and pronto, but if we rush him that in itself carries a massive risk.
We surely cannot keep persisting with Harrison, even on the left he is offering f**kall. Problem we have is that when you look at forward options there is hardly any experience, we play like the under 23’s

The fact that we're reliant on one player to score, is more of an issue than Rodrigo being injured.

First half hour was rough. Felix hitting the post was the best chance for them. After the first half hour I thought we played our way into the match. Chelsea really didn't create much after that. And we started to look a bit more dangerous. You look at the stats and we really weren't dominated. They scored off a set piece. Beyond that we were pretty good defending. But the midfield was disjointed. I thought Adams had his 2nd poor game in a row. McKennie wasn't much better. And yet we still could have gotten something out of it. But my lord we lack quality in the final third!

That's what happens when you're more obsessed with buying u21s than improving the first team. We needed depth since we got promoted and continued to neglect it. The board learned nothing from last season's lucky escape.

Bang on, f**king absurd to be dependent on one player.

Need to sort out corners ASAP, when Greenwood is on we look dangerous from them, anybody else and I'm worried they'll score on the counter.

Gnonto and Summerville are the only players who look like doing anything in attack, they don't panic or rush like Harrison and Aaronson who are still playing Marsh ball. If we had Rodrigo and Síni fit, then that's a nice front 4, quality to help teach the 2 youngsters, hope they come back in form.

I can see Aaronson improving and maybe becoming the player he looked liked at the start of the season, like a lot of players I think he just needs confidence... And maybe some good free weights.

I was expecting to get beat, but i didn't think Chelsea were as awful as that, jeez i think we just kept Potter in a job coz they're all over the shop too.

We're in transition, but have we the time, i think we might just be able to beat the lesser teams, but god he's got his work cut out.

I think he's gonna try and get us to play some football, but the players just ain't good enough, can he make them good enough ?

Weasel help me out ? He's got to find a formula, i think Jacks in no mans land and the looks on his face today said to me he's either been reading the stick he's been getting on social media, or he's totally lost his game, coz he looked badly affected by something.

I'm of the thinking Javi wants to play some football, but i don't think they can, some can but most can't and we're gonna end up a right jumbled mess.....introducing Joseph - does that mean Orta's been pecking his head..."use my youth they're quality i'm tellin ya "

Piss poor display that and i thought Chelsea were terrible, yet they could and should've been 3-0 up (brilliant one-handed save that from les mes first half).

I'm just hoping Javi's got the brains now to decide which way is gonna suit these players to try and get the points.

Worried, v worried.

Bert would sort em in no time :tup:

Give me some hope Weasel please, did you see owt ?

I thought Adams was really good today Paul personally. Mckennie was in and out he does seem to be struggling for consistency.

Same old same old. Blunt in attack and lapse at defending Set-pieces is not a good recipe in the PL... Mckennie not getting up high enough this time... altho that Forfane gets up like he's got springs attached. We had the warning first half.

On to Brighton who will be high in confidence after bashing up the Hammer.

Jacks head looked all over the shop, whether it's missing the leicester gig and now regretting the new set up here i dunno, but he wasn't with it at all today, they all looked like strangers to each other, so did Chelsea tbh but i couldn't give a shite about them.

Oh ffs i can't bear the thought of the Championship again.

If I'm honest Gracia hasn't made much difference. We would have been better off sticking with Marsch. We were always going to beat Southampton. Even Grimsby turned them over in the week, and that was down St Mary's.
