I love the man but I have no idea what he was thinking with that starting XI today. Too many players in that line-up on the basis of their reputation and what they've done for us in seasons past. Of the entire front 6 only Marmoush played like he had anything to prove or fight for. We...

I thought he looked decent early on today but that foul from Casemiro seemed to affect him badly. He's obviously struggling this season and I think it was probably the wrong call to start him today.

Fuck off Casemiro.

Nice try from Marmoush. He's going to be very good for us I think.

Glad to see Doku come on. He can be frustrating at times but at least he tries stuff.

Can't believe anyone could watch that first half and not think we need changes.

I would take any substitution(s!) right now. Game's crying out for somebody with something to prove.

A lot of players on our bench have got to be watching this and wondering what the fuck they need to do to get a chance.

Bobb not in the squad unfortunately.

I know we don't have a big squad so there's only so much you can change up, but this pattern of rewarding lacklustre performances with more starts has led to a lot of complacency in this line-up.

Hope Phil's okay!

Please don't lose to these twats.

Lineup doesn't really inspire much optimism in me. All great players in their day but that midfield looks too old and slow now. Happy to see O'Reilly given a chance. Glad Marmoush is on too although I worry about the level of service and support he'll receive.

Difficult watch, this.

Put in a good performance and got a goal. All on what must be an incredibly difficult day for him and his family. 25 years is such a milestone, and of course it will be the first anniversary since Jack became a father too which must add another layer to the grief. Hopefully the club is there...

He played particularly well considering that emotional context. So glad he got a goal today.

Honestly, I'll take a boring second half. We looked good first half and scored two goals. Then we kept it incredibly dull while nullifying any threat they might have had (admittedly, they were very poor). We always want to push on and score a load but given the team's fitness and form it was...

The win (assuming we get it) is good. The performance (first half especially) is decent. Oscar Bobb on the football pitch is best of all.

I still believe he has a role to play in this team. He's not the solution to every problem we ever face, but very few players are. We always look more composed, and like the whole team has a little more time and space, when he's on the pitch. Given his appearances have been largely limited to...

John Terry on Jack: https://talksport.com/football/3033591/john-terry-full-interview-talksport-chelsea/ I'm no great fan of Terry but that seems to be a pointless thing to have made up. I don't think that kind of workrate just disappears. I think it's very unlikely that what's going on with...
