Brave run by Pulisic there. Might be out though…

I agree. The Argentina team they have on the field is average at best. No one is worried about their midfield, defense, they’re lining up like they fully expect Messi to carry them at 35.

Shocking Foden isn’t starting or at least the first man off the bench. As a US supporter I wasn’t worried about any of those subs England used. Iran will be tricky to beat for the US and England is essentially through to the knockout stages already.

Half these players are probably thinking about the world cup and Potter doesn't look like he knows how to motivate a team...

Not bad. Same problem, terrible finishing.

We were bad under Tuchel too. It's like everyone forgot but it wasn't just this season, we were really poor the second half of last season also. The roster needs to be revamped starting with the midfield. Let's not forget Tuchel was the one who badly wanted Cucurella and Fofana coming off a major injury. Club needs an elite sporting director to actually address our most glaring needs instead of overpaying for wingbacks and older players

This was always going to be a hard game to win but we just laid down and gave it to them. you can tell they’re much more motivated to beat Potter. More hungry team and deserved it.

Our attack is so shit. Pitiful really. midfield sucks. defense is nothing to be proud about. Cucu was always going to be a panic buy. roster needs a complete overhaul

I don’t think some people remember how bad the start of the season we had under Tuchel was. Top 4 looked bleak, getting out of our group in CL looked iffy, no one seemed happy in the locker room, etc. We had been poor for a long time dating back to last season under TT. Give Potter some time. No one is going to miraculously make our midfield better which is our biggest issue. At least we have a punchers chance to make top 4 and maybe make a nice run in the CL. We were never PL contenders going into this season. Still too many glaring needs on the roster.

I've been enjoying when Chukwu, Broja, and Pulisic come on. Just some good energy and the sense that things might actually happen offensively.

Least we didn’t lose to Forest today… Another bad first half of spineless football. Then we luckily get the lead and you’re pressing in the midfield instead of dropping back to defend? The way we looked in the first I think a lot of us would have taken the draw. Changes need to be made though..

Kepa Dave Silva Kouli Chilly Kova Jorginho Sterling Mount Pulisic Auba

TBH I'll take the draw. We were terrible in the first half and got saved by Kepa again...

Havertz too might be allergic to his right foot...

Cucurella is allergic to his right foot

Gallagher is pretty soft and loses the ball too often. Skill is there but a team like Brentford will punish a player like that. hope it’s not a serious injury.

Feel for Reece. Obviously skipping the world cup will be good as a Chelsea supporter but the world cup is what players dream of. Getting to represent your country on the biggest stage is the pinnacle of most careers. I'm sure he'll have his chances in the future but Fifa really fucked a lot of players having it in the winter. Greedy bastards. More confident we'll be OK without Reece with Potter in charge. Potter's shown in game adjustments and various formations we can depend on. Tuchel seemed hellbent on making his system work no matter who the personel was. Time will tell though as Reece is undoubtedly our best player.

Mings up there as well.

Gareth Southgate watching and now has Tyrone Mings as the first CB on the plane to Qatar

Koulibaly doing his best Lukaku there

I really just see a high motor out of him. Even at LWB he's mid.

Don't really want to see Gallagher until late. He's still a turnover machine and the way Villa are pressing he'll probably continue that trend. Broja sounds nice to put more pressure on their defense. That crowd is going to force them into another mistake...

Mings and Kepa the Mvps so far. Everyone else is poor. The attack looks terrible, get Havertz and Auba off.

McGinn thinking he's CR7 there. Lol.

Signs of a good manager. So far it's just been refreshing watching this team play compared to the beginning of the season. We're not so obvious to game plan against anymore and Potter is putting players in positions to make plays. Seems like the team chemistry is really strong as even the players who don't feature are supportive and know they will have a role for the team down the road. Deserves a lot of credit but consistency is key
