Only as good as your most recent performance on here mate
Man for man I don’t think they are better than us. When u can’t defend very well don’t pull everyone back to defend. Park the bus will not work for us. Sometimes I think we need to accept that at the moment we are going to concede with the personnel we have whatever we do. We must therefore look to play higher up the pitch and give Chelsea more to think about. We are not composed enough in front of goal to rely totally on counter attacking
Dembele was getting injured constantly, his body couldn’t keep up with the pace of the league which is why he went to China. Incredible player though - irreplaceable.
Alli is the nearest thing we have to that
That's not the solution, we losing 4-0 of that's the change, how Chelsea plays they have 2 players running along Giroud,
You need 2 wingers,
1 AM,
Lloris draws the 5 attacking player, a striker pegs rudiger back. Spreads ball fast and wide
Winger draws cesar or reeve and beat them and pass to AM, you will end up having a 3 v 1 situation
Mourinho lacks plan, we don't have a capable keeper who can pass w their feet
From the late 00's from the Modric/VVD years to the magnificent 7 or whatever that replaced Bale we had a very solid setup imo though. But we became arrogant and frugal because of it and expect to replace our stars for nothing and without effort.
Love those having a go at a creative midfielder not being amazing in an ultra defensive 451.
They have 4 players hovering in central areas around the midfield area. We have our best player at right midfield and Lucas at left midfield.
Short of getting the ball and beating 3 or 4 players bo spurs players has much chance here.
If we have the numbers in midfield to match them , and as a team attempt to play in their half then our creative players can start having options to make things happen.

And as I said earlier neither did Poch
Not on bench
We equalise we win because they are there for the taking.
Do I think we will? Not unless Alli is on the pitch.

Quite incredible how many people on here live in the past.
"why did we sell Dembele"
Because the Dembele we sold was performing worse than the guy you're bashing for being unfit, that's why.
We are going to come out and smash these, high tempo, high press. pepper their goal and win 3-1.
Then I woke up and realized it's not 2017 any more and we are now largely shit.
2-0 stroll for Chelsea written all over this. We will be lucky to trouble the keeper.

Levy carries the blame. Spending money might effect his bonus
Why the fuck was he holding his face and writhing about on the floor when Barkley knocked the back of his head?
We need a Lion; not a mouse.
