Sounds like we just playing Cole Palmer.

For a neutral it is a great match. For me my heart is fluttering far too much....
I've past the fluttering heart stage. I'm pretty much resigned to a tonking now - just hope to keep it down.

Mind you, when we get a goal back with 20 minutes to go, it will start fluttering again maybe.

We are SO high, Chelsea can and are frequently running from their own half.

If only a load of Albion supporters had predicted this for a week.

If Wolves (second half), Forest and even Ipswich could cut through at will, it was bleeding obvious that Maresca was going to have an early Christmas.

A lot of posters are not questioning. They are simply critising FH and the players. Questioning is fine, all out writing off players and the manager after 1 half of football

A lot are questioning it too which I think is fair enough. I don't see any issue in questioning ability to adapt to try and stop us from continually being cut open.
It's happened to other sides before, yes, but I'm not sure I've ever seem a manager not try and plug the issue.
Chelsea are on song going forward yes, Fab needs to work out a way to stop it, great managers can adapt.

Slight nuance - tactics should be decided on both who the opposition is and who you have available to play.

The system and style of football should fit the players abilities in the squad overall.

It’s early days - we are still formulating the latter.

I think we are really missing Veltman and Van Hecke today - let’s not underestimate that.

I love Velts but second half Forest's inferior players to Chelsea exposed his lack of pace.
