We are where we are though. We''re not going to be able to attract a genuine world class striker. Tammy is about our level at the mo. Imho, there are much more glaring weaknesses that need seeing too - keeper, CB's, fb's, wingers, and someone who can make a pass in the final third.

I think I'm correct in saying that in the ratio of goals conceded from shots on target he has the worst record in the league. Would anyone be stupid enough to pay even £20 million for him now? All I can say is get him off the wage bill asp!!!

Our players are simply not good enough! Azpi is shot. Piss poor keeper. 4 very average CB's. A dire midfield that can't create or protect. Wingers not doing anywhere near enough. One young centre forward carrying the team.

Possibly the weakest keeper in the league.

Once again Kepa gets a hand to a shot and can't keep it out. The guy is a liability and must be replaced, no matter how much we lose on getting rid of him!

Nope! We were absolute, clueless toss!

Is Stevie Wonder our defensive coach?

Just one of the poorest quality games I've seen in a long time. Not one player on the pitch deserves more than 6/10. Let's face it, we're a bang average team in a bang average quality league this season. The fact that we're still in contention for top four underlines just how average this league is this season.

Could be unhappy, missing home life, family and friends etc. I really rate this lads potential so I hope he gets his form back.

I agree about his passing being good. Loved that pass wide to James last week! I could be wrong, but I don't think he quite has the top level pace or trickery to be a top winger. I can see him developing into more of an inside forward as time goes on.

Too many injuries to too many players these days! Overtraining or something must be causing this.

The stat of being 24 and only starting 33 games underlines how desperately unlucky he's been with injuries. When fully fit and given a good run of games he was really starting to show the huge potential we all know he has. Without those injuries he might well be up there with the elte players in the Premiership or even true world class. I just pray he can regain full fitness and get back to his best.

The clubs alarming financial figures for the last year has put into serious question just what level player we can afford to buy now. Losing nearly £100 million and revenue almost flatlining might well mean we're shopping at Aldi rather than Harrods in the coming transfer windows.

Apart from that everything else is OK.

Imho he was our poorest player. Not good defensively and going forward not one ball into the box went to a Chelsea player. Weak shot when given space and a free kick that went straight out of play. Still very young, so by no means giving up on him, but out of all our young players he's been the one who's not really shown anything yet. Just doesn't look ready for us yet, so a loan to another Premiership team might be best for him.

I remember Henry not being able to hit a barn door with a banjo early in his career at Arsenal. At least CHO is now getting into the box and looking to be positive and having a go. Hopefully he'll get a goal soon which will be a big boost to his confidence, ease some of the pressuee and help him relax a bit more. Also.Why are CHO, Tammy, Mount, Tomori getting their fair share of stick while James seems to be getting away with being pretty shite?

If Frank is going to be a top manager, with a lot of money and the right signings, he should be able to make us challengers for the start of the 22/23 season.

Almost zero creativity from out midfield yet many fans still think Jorginho, Kova and Kante is a great trio. All they give us is lots of posession which we do nothing with time and time again.They do not compliment each other at all and are costing us bigtime! Kante has gone from one of the very best, most important players in the league to a bang average bits and pieces player who's not great at anything anymore. Need to rip up that midfield!

The results against Spurs and Arsenal just papered over the cracks. I keep saying it, but if we're to challenge for the title nearly the entire team need to be replaced. It's painful and frustrating to watch us like this, but there's no quick fix like there once was with a change of manager. Frank is going to need at least another 2 seasons and hundreds of millions to fix this!

Point won in the end.

Our keeper has kept us in it against a shit team. Says how bad we are!

To be fair he looked good enough for the first half dozen games of the season but he's lost his way since then.

James is far too casual in every area of the pitch. Not a fan of him I have to say.

Badly need Loftus to return to his best. Sadly, far too often Mount's first touch is just not good enough and attacks breakdown.
