Sick of seeing a midfield '2' instead of '3'. We only need Hazard & Morata up top, no need for Pedro as much as we need further stability and ability in the centre. Bakayoko is erratic and Fabregas is slow. How on earth will we control the game?

Been saying this exact same thing all week. This midfield 2 just screams to opponents, "press these two and counter!"

Cesc should really only ever play in a more advanced attacking role or as part of a midfield 3. Strange and frustrating that Conte doesn't seem to realize this.

Cesc - Bakayoko, going to get destroyed in midfield

stupid that we didn't sign Hernandez despite trying for Llorente. With Hernandez and a better LWB signing, our season could have gone better. Hernandez, Hazard and Morata would have made a killer trio up top.

[Pizy 17,860]

Arse and Liverpool both won so this is even more of a must win now.

fuck my life why fabregas?? Watch our midfield being overrun 

Who else? None of the youth players are going to get as start, and Drinkwater still isn't at full fitness from his injury.

Could have gone better? That's so defeatist. We're in the third month of a 9 month season.

Fabregas lol how awful is this bloke

[Pizy 17,860]

Were playing more slow, zombie football and not getting the ball to our dangerous players at all.

[Pizy 17,860]

Alonso has been absolutely useless for weeks now. Just awful again so far.

I really like Alonso, but has he done anything right since scoring 2 goals against Spurs at Wembley?

If his name was Moses people would have been calling for his head for weeks now.

[Pizy 17,860]

You see every other big team go to these little sides and force the issue. We play so slowly and predictably that we make it so easy for them.

[different level 1,056]

How the hell was that not a goal?

[LAB 1,030]

oh dear..

Nothing positive

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,738]

To be fair this bournemouth side are terrible.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Need to take chances like these in this game. Very poor from Morata.

Bloody hell Begovic is suddenly a world class gk.
