Back to poor again today

Think he's a total liability if i'm honest

John Stones and Ruben please..

 

[Claytop]

Needs Stones in there.

Been poor all season bar a few games. He and Walker were dreadful today. No idea of what was going on around them. Chelsea could and perhaps should have scored 4 goals today.

Different player with Stonesy in there. It feels like without him, he is more focused on trying to fix everyone else's mistakes, which kind of means he is all over the place.

Has to laugh when he is rousing the crowd when he had played so shit. The crowd weren’t the problem today!

I must have watched a different match. I thought he played fine.

In rank form

Looked like he was running in wellie boots at times

Nah. Doesn’t win his headers (not just yesterday), frequently in the wrong position, gets rolled and outmuscled far too often for a centre half, too slow to play such a high line (not his fault). Not helped yesterday by the lack of a midfield press or by Akanji’s half arsed jogging whenever he lost possession, but Dias has been a liability all season. Starting to remind me of Otamendi, only not as good in possession

Obviously a long way from his best. But I don’t think the setup is helping - way too open and exposed to the counter, and a fair few of the defenders (Walker, Akanji, Dias …) are struggling, Gvardiol as well at times. There’s only really Ake that’s been consistently good. And Stones when he’s been fit - but then we generally change the setup whenever he plays and look much more solid anyway.
