When it comes down to it we are down two attacking midfielders from where the club wanted to be. We were counting on a healthy Kevin and we wanted to acquire Paqueta. We are just going to have to make do until Kevin comes back.Not seen us that chaotic in years. Was like an early 2017 pep team. Very odd.
We should have got the win. Can't score in 85th min and not be able to see it out. Very disappointing. Would have been huge to head into an international break with a buffer.
Yes Doku was taken off too early i think. Another 15 minutes with him and we might have scored another. He also gave us an out all game as he's the fear factor for the opposition who have to deal with him constantly and takes pressure off us.Not sure I agree with that. I think Pep played it right. Grealish didnt do too much when he came on other than retain the ball a bit, although he did that rather well. We lacked a bit of pace and punch without Doku. Love seeing Doku run at his defender, just wish he would take it on his left sometimes rather than cut in.
But its not 5 mins is it? its 10+ mins and in a crazy game in the rainy conditions it was inevitable there was going to be twist at the end. I actually thought there was going to be winner right at the death from either side. I was so on edge and glad to hear the whistle so I could decompress. Impressed with Chelsea, they went toe to toe in an epic battle.Not seen us that chaotic in years. Was like an early 2017 pep team. Very odd.

That is a great point plus the Stones situationWhen it comes down to it we are down two attacking midfielders from where the club wanted to be. We were counting on a healthy Kevin and we wanted to acquire Paqueta. We are just going to have to make do until Kevin comes back.
Or last last let in 4 and not lose.Happy with a point, but when did we last score 4 and not win?
But the problem wasn't scoring goals it was defending them!When it comes down to it we are down two attacking midfielders from where the club wanted to be. We were counting on a healthy Kevin and we wanted to acquire Paqueta. We are just going to have to make do until Kevin comes back.
I was very worried they’d disallow that. They’ve made some stupid rule changes over the last few years but that handball rule is the most absurd. In theory say prime Messi could have an accidental handball in his own box, dribble past the entire team and score and they’d pull it back and give a pen to the other team. If he did the same but then remembered it had touched his hand so rolled it to a teammate on the line for a tap in it would still be a goal.Couldnt believe the VAR scrutiny of Erlings elbow for his goal. Ha ha,desperately trying to disallow it.
Full members Cup final in the 80’s?Happy with a point, but when did we last score 4 and not win?
