Kante re-injured before even getting back on the pitch. 😔 Could’ve been extremely useful in a match where Milan will be desperate to make amends for the horror show last week. A fully refreshed Kante would’ve been a great weapon that Milan wouldn’t have expected.

The depth issue is what I’m hanging my hopes on with Arse. An extended injury to Jesus or Odegaard or Saliba and they’re in real trouble. Unlike City who have the insane squad depth to sustain their top level through an entire grueling season, Arse won’t be able to maintain this super high energy style the whole way. We just have to keep winning and reel them in. One or two poor results and they’ll start to crumble hopefully.

Liverpool may as well roll out the red carpet down their right side. Henderson is Jorginho-esque when the ball gets turned over and Trent doesn’t have a clue about defensive positioning. Arse just having their way out there whenever they wish.

His awareness is embarrassing. It’s got to the point where they should consider a position change for him. Make him a wide midfielder or winger. One of the best right foots ever but he’s totally clueless defensively.

Trent 🤣🤣🤣 Liverpool 🤣🤣🤣 But man, I hope Arsenal fall off soon. Annoying as fuck to see them flying like this.

It’s not even like Kepa is that much better with the ball at his feet, he just doesn’t take lots of stupid chances. When Mendy isn’t being pressed and hurried his distribution is fine.

What should have been a picture perfect loan for him has turned out to be a total waste. As for this game, it shows how mediocre we’ve started the season to see this Spuds side above us in the table. Brighton have comfortably been the better side. Spuds have so many bang average or even below average players all over the pitch. They just have the two killers up top to keep winning them points in spite of their continued poor performances.

Spuds are still totally dependent on Kane’s goals. He gets injured and they’re nowhere near top 4 in the end. He constantly pops up and scores out of nowhere to bail them out when they’re playing poorly.

Astounding how much better we look when we play quick, decisive passes and have confidence when doing it. Clear patterns in our play and finally starting to see players instinctively knowing where one another is. Something I’ve been desperate to see for ages. Nice triangles forming around the box, nice one touch football. Potter can clearly elevate us if we continue to work in training. The ideas are there so it’s now up to the players to keep confidence high and execute.

Traore is terrifying 1v1 in space. We have to double up on him, ffs.

Now would be a good time to solidify the midfield. If RLC is going to be Potter’s new “it” guy for a while I’d take him off and have him fresh for Milan. Bring on Kova for a bit more bite and ball retention. Have to be extremely weary of Adama. He’s the only one who is consistently causing scares for us when he gets the ball in space. Cucu is a bit too small to deal with him 1v1.

If we don’t score first and demoralize them then they’ll sucker punch us and park the bus. They look WAY too dangerous on the very few occasions they have been in our final third.

This is perhaps our most dominant display of the season so far. But nothing to show for it.

This game should be over and out of reach in the first 30 minutes. City would be up 4-0 with these same chances we’ve created.

Jesus Christ, we’re carving them open like a League One side and can’t finish to save our lives. Or even get it on target! We have to make this count, ffs.

Auba would probably have a couple of goals already with these chances we’ve created. Beautiful build up over and over and then ZERO composure with the final touch. And the AGAIN burned and carved through on the counter. Our midfield has been nonexistent defensively.

Surprisingly very tidy, quick football. Still very open to counter attacks, though…

A J5 + RLC midfield pairing just looks SO poor on paper. Hopefully won’t be a disaster in real life.

This has all the makings of a banana peel game for us. We know what always happens when an opposition team is in utter turmoil and comes up against Chelsea… I’d rather have played a full strength side here to ensure we have the best chance to win and then make a change or two for Milan if fatigue was a factor.

Still not even a sniff for Zakaria. How are we ever going to know what we have with him if he never sees the pitch?

Ooooof. That looks like an early round cup XI that we’d put out against lower league opposition. I don’t like it at all!

RB Chelsea incoming? Or RB London? 🤣

Wtf happened with Wolves, btw? I haven’t watched them at all in recent weeks but I was very impressed by them in the first few weeks of the season. In fact, they were one of the teams I thought could make a real push for top 5-6 when I watched them. Looked solid all over the pitch. So they just imploded since? Classic trap game for us then after the high of yesterday.

Very concerning images of Fofana on crutches and with a serious looking knee stabilizer on. 😩😩😩 Chalobah looked very solid when he came on but fuuuuuuck. During this insane period of fixtures we desperately need all the depth we can get. This feels like it could be a very bad injury like an MCL. 😢

Imagine how many he’d score if we had Cesc feeding him the ball with all that space he’s running into.
