Romero, Emerson, Skipp, Gill
Really? Is there any evidence Emerson is better than what we already had. Skipp was already out player. And sorry, if Gil doesn’t start or get subbed into that game today’s he not improved the team. Romero, I’ll give you (and will look beyond the shocker he had in Europe in his first game)
 
Funny thing is I’ve actually been really encouraged by the performances of all our CBs this season.

Dier before going off was dominating benteke and I thought Japh was also really good before the red. Rodon too came on and did well.
I feel we do actually now have a decent range of CBs

Lo celso and Romero and Dav. will have to be ready to go for Chelsea because we’ll have little other choice
Yeah, agree with this actually. Davies flopped big time, but he's our 6th choice CB, and it was unfortunate circumstances that led him to play.
 
That was not acceptable today- any credit in the bank for Nuno has already been used - lose both of our next 2 lge games which is very possible and things will be toxic - early season optimism has gone the squad looks mid table at best
 
Should do us all a favour and sack him now and bring back Mason. As pathetic as that situation would be, it’s ultimately what’s going to happen anyway !

Nuno is a nice man, but never should have been given this puddle of shit to make an Apple pie of.
Mason no way I couldn’t watch his mate Winks playing every game. Blame Levy it’s him that has to go.

In the words of Walter Sobchak ‘the Nuno is not the issue here dude. The millionaire Levy is the issue.’
 
I´d go one further and say we are 6 players short of competing!

A High calibre centre-back
A defensively strong right-back
A defensiveley strong left-back
A high calibre defensive midfielder
An Offensive creative centre-midfielder
A striker
In my humble opinion what we really lack are good passers of the ball - all over the pitch. We have assembled a team of specialists for everything except playing good possession football. Some are good finishers, some are good runners with the ball, some are good tacklers. But passing and moving and cooperating and playing well with the ball has just disappeared.

How the hell one fixes that in a season or two I don't know , because this team is so extremely unbalanced. I suspect that Nuno will have to play defensively and boring as hell to try and get results or he will loose his job by January.
 
Been trying to get Igula Igula to see this for a couple years now. Once folks recognize he no longer can get that half-step to clear for a shot they will better understand what we are actually playing with up top. Oh well.

The PL leader in goals and assists is what we are playing with up top.
 
He had Ndombele and Gill on the bench - who we gonna buy better than them?
Gill is young potential. I'm excited about him but he's not proven yet. Ndombele has been here since 2019 and hasn't exactly made himself indispensable. We're going into Chelsea looking like we'll need to play Ben Davies at CB. We have one single striker. No creative midfielders. Threadbare.
