never thought i’d find myself cheering for burnley but here we are

…and that’s where having a competent shot stopper counts

ha ha ha

i would sell in the summer. contract runs out 2025 i think, last chance to get good money for him and as decent as he is when he plays, he just isn’t reliable enough when he has 3-5 different injury problems of varying lengths every season

we can’t create much of anything right now, and haven’t done the basics defensively all season. 0-2 one big thing i miss about potter, is when things weren’t going well creatively, we could grind out 0-0s. feels like nowadays we either have to be at the very top of our game offensively (which...

much better chance of winning the conference league. one of those cups requires you to beat city. the other doesn’t

it does for me. we would have a very decent shot of winning that. can’t possibly believe the prospect of having a european trophy wouldn’t be exciting if it came to pass

clutching at straws here but perhaps this is similar to where we drew to middlesbrough in THAT game. it hurt, but we would’ve gone straight back down and were better off in the long run. perhaps we’re a season too early for europe. take stock, show some more ambition in terms of recruitment and...

have to say, they’ve got any and every 50/50 tonight

aaarrrghhhhh f***ing hell that was so dire

i will say that this is on de zerbi, actually. persisting with this back three bollocks when everyone with eyes can see it isn’t working, isolating dunk against lukaku when it’s well know that big, powerful centre forwards are our kryptonite, playing a high line with our slow as sh** defence...

has been fairly evenly matched in open play, we’ve just been woefully subpar in key moments. missed chances, and defended awfully when they’ve come forward. hardly a surprise, high line with a monumentally slow defence and isolating dunk against lukaku who has got the better of him many times...

and there you go. ball over the top for the first and now an absolute gift

would imagine fati might look interested in this one

honestly it’s like watching a team play as if there isn’t an opposition goal to attack. blind alley after blind alley

looking back at it, the defence are so slow to get into shape and play finals offside. which is not ideal when playing a high line. steele should do better too. not the most physically imposing keeper, but rushes out and makes dybala’s mind up for him anyway

aimless balls upfield, welbeck isolated in their box. we’re absolutely dire without mitoma and pedro

perhaps what’s most frustrating about or recent defensive predicaments is actually just how easy it is for teams to score against us. virtually no work or immense skill required whatsoever, just try a long ball over the top or wait for us to gift you a goal

perhaps interesting to note, with the exception of the wigan game, we didn’t win any of the games mentioned in this thread

very obvious he has been on chelsea’s payroll for some time. and i always do have to ask why, concerning us, tweets like this always come out the day before a big game: if you read the actual interview, that quote from barber starts to look very selective. FR is an absolute prat.
