Son should have been subbed after there goal as all he did 2nd half was give the ball away, bar Kulu we haven’t got any wide players that can hold onto the ball
 
I hate to say it, but I don't particularly enjoy Angeball. It's predictable and boring.
It's meant to be predictable. Because he wants them to play that single way until they can do that with their eyes closed. And scoring more goals wouldn't be boring.

The problem is some players still don't grasp the essence. Johnson, sadly sometimes Son, Udogie hot and cold. Kulu hot and cold etc. After so many months the team is still not gelling the way to play it's meant to play.
 
Decent first half that gave me some hope.

Then hope was dragged out the back door and given a fine old council scheme kicking in a car park.

Disappointing start. Need to remind the players that we should try for both halves.

They didn't seem to learn that lesson all of last season. In fact we were crap at it under Conte too. Team has lots of different personnel since then so err .. what's up? Why are we consistently a one half team, its so fucking rare we go out and put in a more or less polished 90 mins.

In premier league football you'll never have the full game to yourself, but other than some 10-15 sticky periods, we should be able to regularly play mostly well throughout matches.

Dodgy pie at half time.
 
It's scary that we have to live in the same world as these people

I might sit next to one of them on a bus or something
Forget the window and the money for second please....I've been dug out for questioning the coaching and the selection of the back room staff. But can you please tell me what you see when you watch the actual football. Because I see a fucking myriad of issue some of which have been embedded for months and zero change. I see disorder, I see frankly hot air dressed as philosophy. I think sadly this is the emperor's new clothes and I'm starting to see Ange's big ole ass....
 
I know 99.9 % of sweet FA. about “modern football “ TBF .. but , to be honest ; something about that performance
( and result ) ; worries me ….

I hope things will improve quite quickly.
 
The talk on here about Romero being the best centre back in the world and better than Saliba after the Copa was quite amazing tbf.

Have a look at the geezers positional sense...just play very close attention to it. It's not good to say the least.
Tactics are up to the Manager. It clear that players are following Ange's Tactics to "T". They playing like robots, especially when defending.
 
Vic pass marks.
Udogie utterly horrible second half. Mixed bag first. He needs challenged because he’s nowhere near the player I thought he was.
Porro done his bit and tries to make things happen where as Udogie is offering little going forward.
Mikey and Romero fine
Bentancur very good and unfortunate injury
Madders brilliant for 55 mins then completely fades out
Sarr gives 100% of 0 which is 0.
Sonny is an impact sub
Johnson is not a footballer. Fed up seeing him getting praised but he’s a fucking little girl.
Solanke battled away and will score goals for us.

Subs
Werner should never be allowed to wear our shirt again. He’s like a fucking toddler.
Deki showed fight
Spence not enough time
Gray and Bergvall should start for us. At least they want to pass forward and try get it into strikers and between the lines rather than constantly go wide to the worst wide players in the league. Don’t give a fuck what age they are. Play them.

It’s pure anger tonight rather than disappointment because the game was won if we had a set of balls and be ruthless. At no point did I think we’d see that out. We are a million miles away from City,Woolwich and Liverpool.

And before the usual shit comes out that it’s only one game then that can get to fuck too. We drew at a dead Leicester.
