One of the worst displays I’ve ever seen. Disciplined yes but it is so so lacking in any ambition at all. It’s a gutless park the bus display I’d expect from a league one side trying to nick a cup replay. There was zero chance of playing 20% possession football and coming out with a result. Need a drastic turnaround of this bulls*** at HT. Edited by Master Coin (04 Nov 2018 4.55pm)

Jorginho is a lovely little player. Don’t think we’re doing too much wrong, just need to hang in there and wait for the inevitable penalty award :0) We'll have to get hold of the ball and then get it near their goal first
Bangell - If Camus wrote The Myth of Sisyphus today, it would be about Jason Puncheon eternally trying and failing to pass with his right foot. |

I don’t get it when people say Sakho is clumsy. Our best central defender with a great range of passing. Edited by the.universal (04 Nov 2018 4.55pm) just watch him, his legs do not look like the belong to him!

This is a terrible tactical philosophy and is on Roy

Good lord, 22% possession in 45 mins of football. I know possession isn’t everything but hard to do much in 10 minutes! With no target man up front surprised we have reached that against very good passing opposition. Let's hope we can just hang in there and make a few chances. Expect Hazard to come on 2nd half if it remains at one goal between us to secure the game for them.

It's Hodgson all over - he did exactly the same with England, park the bus, no positive attacking intent at all

100% agree. The line up we had last season that worked for us was 4 in midfield that in attacks would often rotate to see RLC push forward and shift behind the forwards. Even if Roy wants a traditional striker to partner Wilf when fit, that’s still fine. But that midfield 4 with Meyer in the RLC position is what we should’ve been playing with since day 1. I still think Sørloth is improving match on match. I hope he gets 25 mins or so in the second half

Looked very positive until they scored and when you consider what we're playing against being still in it at this point is pretty decent. When you look at Chelsea's quality there's not much point in complaining about tactics because they could deal with pretty well anything in this form. We're playing to our strengths which is all you can really do.

We're playing to our strengths which is all you can really do. Chelsea look excellent, and have done in most games I’ve watched. We look like we can nick a goal if we keep it tight. Meyer looks like an excellent replacement for RLC, now that he is up to speed in terms of fitness.
If you come to a fork in the road, take it. |
