This game like so many other earlier this season is why we won’t finish within 10 points of Arsenal and probably City as well. We are shockingly terrible at handling these sorts of teams. We repeatedly turn up as if they’re going to lay down and turn over for us. We stroll about like it’s a training session whilst the opponent treats the game like it’s for a trophy.

And again another terrible giveaway. Game over. Goodbye. Turning this pathetic shit off.

Leeds aren’t creating ANY of these dangerous moments themselves. We’re literally gifting them opportunity after opportunity with sloppy play ourselves.

I count that THREE times where one of our players passes a 5 yard simple pass straight to Leeds.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Poor team stays deep and compact and crowds the middle of the defense. So what does Chelsea do AGAIN to combat this? Play slow, side to side passes at walking pace. I can’t fucking stand this shit over and over again.

Being comfortably outplayed by a relegation area team.

Tosin and Badiashile have given away 2 schoolboy passes so far.

We’ve got 3 CB’s and 2 strikers on the pitch and can’t defend simple corners AT ALL.

It has 100% become a themse under Maresca. These players just cannot summon the same intensity or motivation against shit teams

ONCE A FUCKING GAIN we show up against a dogshit team and are fast asleep whilst they’re well up for it and aggressive.

Trev has played several time at RB so it’s almost surely him there unless we’re playing 3 at the back.

Chalobah, you mean?

Think it’s safe to say now that Badiashile is now ahead of Josh in Maresca’s eyes even though Josh has looked extremely promising every time we’ve seen him. Super strange circumstance. He was amazing in the last game he played and I don’t think he’s seen the pitch since? Anyways, I like the look of this XI. Plenty of rotation but still enough quality that we should be trying to assert ourselves.

Would be surprised if Maresca doesn’t make a load of changes. Can see him resting Neto, Fofana, Reece, and perhaps even Cucu. Delap up front, Gittens left, Estevão right, and Palmer to finally make his return.

Kind of crazy how poor City look at the back considering the players they have across the back and in net.

Judging by what the journalists are saying it doesn’t seem like we’ll be looking to do any business at all next month. And that’s perfectly reasonable so long as we avoid any major injuries over this festive period. There really isn’t an obvious place in the team at the moment that requires an urgent signing.

Must be such an incredible feeling to have a striker like him in your team. Just the ultimate machine if he gets a chance in the box. I feel like City are poised to go on a winning run now that they’re within touching distance of Arse. One bad week or weekend and they’re right on their tails. And with Arse having Villa this weekend the pressure is on. We MUST win tomorrow and against Bournemouth to keep pace. Raising our game against the big teams and then playing lethargic, lazy zombie football against the small teams will see dogshit teams like United passing us in the table.

We were doing well too completely nullifying them and looking dangerous ourselves causing them problems. Weekend ruined, ffs and probably much more.

Game over. And maybe serious damage to our top 4 chances too with him missing the next 3. Just got himself WAY too wired up and excited. For fucks sake.

Can’t get the ball into their half at all. Don’t think our attackers have touched the ball yet…

Saying one last prayer that we don’t see some idiotic walking pace football.

Their attacking options look really, really strong but we probably won’t have a better shot than this to get at their defense with the two best CB’s in the league out. Mosquera & Hincapie are both really good but surely don’t have super chemistry together yet.

Gonna need a monster performance from João Pedro here. Him as the lone #9 is the only real selection that I’m concerned about against this Arse defense.

Yep. Good player for sure and can definitely see him playing well for a top club but he’s in no way a Caicedo or Rice £100m player. For me Adam Wharton is the MUCH bigger talent. And I hope we’re in for him.

Murillo just signed a new deal and even before that there was talk about Forest demanding some monster fee for him if anyone tried to lure him away. So unless he ensured a release clause be put into his ew contract there’s no chance they’re selling him any time soon. As for us going back for Maignan, I can’t see that at all. The manager and club love Sanchez. And tbf, he’s been steady this season for the most part. Bringing in someone who instantly benches him would likely cause problems within the squad.
