well if we sold renato, we need to buy some defenders

during poch's time the team had difficulties in midfield because enzo doesn't have the physical size that lavia has. the problem is that lavia is often injured and that makes it difficult to play well in midfield. the first half against fulham, ipwich and palace was good. the team hasn't been as effective and has also had problems in defense.

the problem is that unlike in some games we haven't managed to take a two-goal lead or kill the game off early. that's the only difference because we've conceded late goals like against brentford, tottenham and leicester, for example. the difference is that at 1-0 the team has found it harder to hold on to the lead. fofana's absence and lavia's absence have cost us these points. i have an idea that, with them, we wouldn't have lost so badly. lavia gave the midfield another physical dimension. something that isn't happening now.

Chelsea have shown some good things, even in the last few games. the problem is the lack of intensity and perhaps an excess of rigidity from maresca and individual errors

Chelsea didn't play a bad game. just like against ipswich and even better than that, to be honest. the problem was the individual errors and the lack of ability to kill the game off. the attacking players lacked goals. the midfield without lavia is easily swallowed up and, as we don't kill the game off, we're at the mercy of what's happened so far. the squad is good, but with players like fofana, reece and lavia always injured, it gets complicated. i liked joshua's debut. on the other hand, gusto's regression is worrying

yes like gallagher was sold

we need a center back and a striker at least until the end of the season and sell disasi

maresca rotated the line up too much and the worst thing was playing disasi.... we played ok in the first half but the team felt the second goal too much

ahah didasi

or neto....

with the injuries, I believe he will have a plenty of time playing

so this is the center back that board want until the end of the season

away from home is always a hard stadium. With lavia and cucu maybe we won that game, but sometimes a draw away from home its ok fulham defeat and palace draw were very bad results

the truly 2 ugly results are against fulham and palace

if the deal is only 6 months, I guess its okay

only makes sense if we sold nkunku

vesper see the things in too simplistic way

if we can't beat ipswich away from home, we don't deserve to be comfortably in the top 4 until the end of the season, the top four will never be a comfortable fight. it's been two bad games and now we have a chance to get back into the fight and if we win, city will be 7 points behind, which means a solid lead. with the return of fofana and reece in january, we can fight for the top four, but nothing is guaranteed until the end. this talk of fighting for the title is gone. it might do the team some good. the truth is that liverpool are in unbelievable form and it's not even worth thinking about first place. it's about fighting for the top 4 until the end and trying to see if we can avoid injuries and have a good fa cup.

well liverpool are too strong atm and no one can beat them lets fight for second place and build a good foundation to fight for the title next season, with a new gk, cb and hopefully a new striker

maybe 5h spot is enough lets see

we are tired and with no legs in the midfield if we had lavia I think we won the game

Lol why?

it is not the end of the world but I take this point at one of the most hard stadiums to play come on Chelsea

We already knew that cucurella red card would hurt us a lot
