Having a midfield three of Kovacic, Kante, and Jorginho is redundant. Not an ounce of creativity from them. It's no wonder we can't create chances.

Higuain Hazard---------------CHO Ruben-----Kante Kovacic Emerson---Luiz---Rudiger---Zappa Kepa

Kante is the only player who can realistically hold his head up high this season.

Pedro's decision making this season has been worse than Willian's. That is saying something.

Not looking forward to that. They will no doubt follow Bournemouth's game plan.

As brilliant as United were during that time as well, I am still convinced that manager instability is what led that Chelsea team do be under their thumb those three consecutive league titles United won. We had great players, but at times there was no cohesion whatsoever.

Sarri at the bare minimum deserves next season.

What's mad to think, is that since he's been here, we've never had a player that could match his influence in the third. Not since Mata. Cheers Jose

Does this lad really think Bayern will let him waltz into the starting XI?

True. I still think however the board plays a massive role in players that are invested into the club. Ruben has been here for what, 5 years? And a donkey like Bakayoko has played more minutes than him in one season.

So then why did we reject 60 million from Barca? Twice?

One of the first that needs replacing IMO

I think there is massive pressure on the manager from the board to play players who were invested on. I can't see any other reason.

This is a hard truth pill to swallow. There will always be a fear in selling him though given the lack of trust we have our board in utilising the funds effectively.

If we sold Willian on deadline day which Meant CHO would get more minutes, the Bournemouth defeat would be less painful.

Mad innit

How was he awful? I thought he did pretty well given the lack of service.

If I see any "Don't worry, we'll fight back next week!" Instagram posts from any of these tossers, I might just lose my shit.

I agree on the mentality aspect. If Kovacic's goal went in, we would of won that game. But no, these players had to work for getting a result, to which it had them crumble when they were under the slightest pressure.

Liverpool and City are light years from us in terms of personal and understanding of manager. Spurs are slightly better. Arsenal and United have a potent attack, whereas we don't. Truth be told, I think 5th is a perfect reflection of where we are at personal wise.

And Spurs beat us at home for the first time in decades. More and more records are being broken recently. What's become evident, are the players we have that continue to allow these records to be broken.

Officially 5th now.

You force the board to go against regulations on players over 30 and their wages, to sign Higuain, and you do not even play him the full 90 when we are in desperate need of a goal? YOU HAVE YOUR MAN? Sorry. I've defended Sarri for everything, but not this. Slap in the face to the board.

Looking forward to the post match presser and an explanation of this abomination of a performance.

I'm honestly embarrassed. Truly am.
