Also I know it's been hosing it down overnight and through this morning, but seems to me in the last few home games we've suddenly seen a big increase in players slipping and sliding about. Is it poor pitch, or poor footwear?
 
We are totally out of form still.

Not surprised, that Chelsea game were always gonna bite us!

Personally feel like it's a must with 3 points today, anything less and top 4 are probably gone.

And please Ange, cut the inverted wingers crap second half, we are creating nothing.
 
Constantly looking for the perfect chance and opening is driving me nuts. Have a fucking shot for god's sake - it might take a deflection, etc.

So shot shy it's unreal.
 
I don't understand how we've collectively lost the philosophy of Ange ball. Why on earth do we choose to always do the safe 2 yard pass backwards on the edge of their box. I thought the idea was "always forwards". There's been several times where there's a runner and instead of the through ball it goes backwards. What has happened to our risk tolerance and the trust in our ability to counterpress and get the ball back?

Whatever was working at the start of the season, that exciting football we all witnessed, it clearly isn't working right now.

What I am seeing on the pitch is akin to the kind of football we witnessed under AVB, lots of possession and doing nothing with it.

Has Angeball been "found out" or is it simply that we need better players still? These are essentially the same players that had us purring at the start of the season so I am not even sure anymore.
