Get a grip.

Dipper mate

 

[Mr HJ]

Put him in Lewis place and Gundogan further forward and we will win this. Gvardiols lack of awareness is worrying considering how much we paid for him.

You can see with Josko he's over thinking everything. He seems to want to play it to Kova all the time and looks terrified of making a mistake.

 

[pudge]

There should be but there'll be no changes at the half, he'll wait until the 89th minute

 

[Fordyboy46]

Boring, slow as fuck, no hope

 

[maurizio]

We always look weak in the challenges at the moment. We have no real pace. A high line is an open opportunity for our opponents. We need to take the few chances we get for a change. Jack looks good today. As some have already said, put Doku on and move Jack a bit more inside.

rewatching that villa goal, lewis nowhere to be seen

 

[dromoreblue]

Savinho or Duku for Bernardo has to be a better option at the moment.

Savinho the better option on the right

Bernie is doing his job without much support

Target Cash.

They wouldn’t complete a two-piece jigsaw atm this lot.

 

[ws01]

I wanted Kova to come back and start before seeing how me might fare for the rest of the season.... sadly it seems to be wishful thinking, as he's made scant difference.

We're proper gone here and I wouldn't be surprised if we finish somewhere between 8th and 10th. It feels like one of those season Chelsea have every few years in between their good ones.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

I’m sorry but I’ve thought it for some time-we are a dead team.

From champions to dead team in a few months? Takes some doing that.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Bring Ferna back out of retirement he would still put a better graft in than this lot

 

[decmancity]

Do we even have a set-piece coach?
Never understood why one is needed (players should be able to work it out themselves) but other teams seem to have them.

Our corners barely get off the ground or beat the first man, I dont care who is organising the set pieces if the player cant get a ball in the box.

 

[WestGorton]

He’s a crap goalie FFS

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

I'd like to see Doku come on against Cash now, he's sure to get him a 2nd yellow

Ya thats a good idea he can do a few stepovers

 

[De Souza]

I think we're actually playing reasonably well in the circumstances. The problem is we don't really look like scoring, whilst they look threatening every time they break. Never really thought we could win this one, but there are glimmers of hope though that might be slowly turning the corner once we get a few more players back. Grealish has been really bright on the left hand side.

its crying out for someone to make a run on the inside left whenever Grealish is on the ball. Its on every time, but we've done about once the entire half.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Give it a rest!!!

He's commenting on what are all seeing.

There's is 2 sides to a story and all that!

We are huffing and puffing again with no real threat.

From the heights we are used to, this is not good enough. It's facts!!!

You and the rest of the moaners are adding to the fucking mood - you blind bastard !

 

[1961_vintage]

We’ve usually been worse second half during this run

Was just thinking that. The 1st 45 may end-up being our best spell!

 

[M43 blue]

Peps subs are normally the oldest players on the bench so expect kdb Ake walker or Scott Carson all to come on at some point

 

[vanchi]

So annoying that the best chances fall to him, though.

fall to him, he created that himself ffs
