Nice to see Khusanov once again getting the respect he deserves

 

[Sky Blue]

Probably for Napoli...! Evens it up. For the VAR.

And if we do get one that bloody goaly will save it!!

Christ, stop dooming.

6 games into the season is our Reindeer the new whipping boy for some?

And Silva, Dias, Doku etc.

Cmon blues

Absolutely not a chance. When have you seen Bernardo go past someone recently?

If he takes it inside every time, he only needs to throw a dummy once to get the step on the outside. Once he’s past the arm, the defender has no choice but to give him a little room, esp in the box.

Never say never!

Where's that from? He's playing better than that

We're getting the ball around the box but outside of that Reijnders chance I don't think there's been anything clear cut created, in my opinion.

Minus the red card I suppose too in terms of that would be chance.

Has a scrappy goal on the counter for them written all over it. Although I'm a pessimistic **** so there's that.

You'll very rarely get clear cut chances against a well drilled team sitting that deep, it's just too congested. Needing a long shot, or deflection or rebound.

But a bigger threat on the right side should help, they kind of know they can leave Dias and Khusanov in space, and condense the other side.

They're alternating him with Doku. Lot of hate on here for some of our players, t'was ever thus though, sadly.

 

[deano ou812]

It will be a major disappointment if we drop.points here.

It would a defeat would be a disaster though..

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

KDB is a luxury player apparently

I thought I heard that… I guess breathing is a luxury too in her book.

 

[SamBlue]

Only energy, a lot of energy and some sharp, quick passing will overcome Conte's defence.

 

[I'm Blue]

I hate Lucy.

Fotmob - Everyone I’ve heard on about him have said he was playing great

 

[Blueknows]

What's that silly woman.going on about ? Not many clear cut chances ?

 

[heslops barnet]

He wouldn’t help here at this point. I don’t think subs are the answer, at least not till at least 70 mins. I’d keep as we are line up wise, but maybe give Doku a go on the right. He did ok in the inside right channel the other day, after all.

We definitely need an attacking player on the right hand side
