Go through the thread and you'll see a decent number of posters, myself included saying he is clearly a forward/winger type and not one for the wing back position. He has pace, skills, tidy on the ball, is powerful, and can beat his man with his direct play. I'm not sure what others are seeing, but it is blatantly obvious he is an extremely gifted player. Just because he wasn't involved in games with us, and at times out of position, doesn't mean he isn't a good player. Same way Hazard looks useless playing as a false 9 against City... Yet he is one of the world's best. Was always more suited up the field, and is one of the good talents we have. Odoi, himself, Willian, with the possible purchase Bailey, and I don't think it would be catastrophic if Hazard left as far as filling those wing positions. Give our young players a chance. We didn't give it to KDB, Salah or Lukaku. KDB is the only one I'm really bummed about, since he is the only one I thought had world class potential, but as you can see, it takes a little bit of time and patience and you get absolute gems. Kennedy has all the attributes to be great. I'm not sure what his detractors can point to as far as missing skills for the winger position. Say what you want about Liverpool and Tottenham, but they give their young players a chance. I will say that I'm pleased to see a talented player like Odoi being given one, so hopefully it is the start of something new here. Build a high powered offensive system, one that doesn't rely on a single player like ours does (Hazard, or Willian at times) and consequently free up room to give younger talents a chance to shine and build confidence.

And I give him credit for it. Always have. What he has done after has been pathetic. And by that, I mean 90% of it being his attitude. Pathetic. Holier than thou bullshit.

Hope Conte struggles to find work after his stint with us. Deserves nothing less.

His idea of subs was putting on a guy up front with no pace, despite Morata actually playing decently today. Then takes off the wing back who was actually creating, and leaving Alonso on.

Fuck his subs. Idiot.

Alonso is useless.

Morata seems to finally understand that staying on his feet is the way to go. Impressed with his performance today. Hazard and Willian are doing a terrible job getting the ball to him today.

What is the point of having Alonso in a game like this? He makes striker runs. Doesn't support in the attacking build up. Get Emerson on.

Morata with another headed assist.

Put in Emerson you pathetic little man.

He has been very promising in the time he has had on the pitch. Provides a good option going forward, is great on the ball, and can whip in a nice cross. I didn't think he was as quick as he showed against the Spurs. Breezed past a few players. Him and Odoi actually looked decent on that wing together, even though Odoi is a bit fresh and made a few mistakes. Hope he starts the rest of the games this season.

People just don't get this anymore. Football is becoming infested with stat nerds now instead of folks actually focusing on what is going on in the game. Iniesta and Figo are average players going by stats. Guess most would rather have Mahrez aye?

Emerson is so pleasing to watch. Get Conte out. Pathetic little man. Typical idiot who ruins it for everyone because it isn't good enough for him. Like a child. Get someone in, and play Emerson on that left side and fuck it, play Odoi the rest of the season. Hazard isn't going to be here anyway next season. Build for next season and give the fans something exciting and fresh to watch.

Hire a few Sunday league players and get them to do knee high tackles after being subbed on in the 85th minute for Tottenham. Apparently you don't get carded. Cunts can taste their own medicine.

Seriously... this entire commentary has been "if the ref had seen that"... Yeah, for about 3 tackles now. Yet nothing. Not even a yellow.

Lamela should have 2 red cards by now. We've been utter shite but the ref is 50% responsible for this loss the POS. Conte can get fucked as well.

Why does Alonso play wing back? He is useless there. Stick him up front and be done with it. Get a proper WB who can hold the ball. Moses I won't even comment on...

That is a free kick ref. Out of all the soft shit they call for keepers in the league, the one time a keeper gets to the ball first and gets elbowed in the head clearly after, you don't call anything? This year has been some of the worst reffing in any professional sport for the league. Absolutely ugly.

Morata! Hopefully that'll shut some of you up and you'll actually support him. Proper number 9. Get in!

That was onside. Sanchez leg played him on. So many of those calls have gone against us. Bring in camera tech for that. Garbage. Cost us against Man United and might cost us now.

Not Conte's fault we went down in the opening minutes.

Thought we played well. Barcelona hit us on the counter and played the right way. I don't know how Morata is getting the blame from some of you after coming on so late lol... Ridiculous. Can't blame Conte either. Came out and set us up to attack and I thought we played some nice looking football. Thought we were the better team over the two games, but just didn't go through. Happened to Tottenham too. It is what it is.

And there is actually people blaming Hazard for not playing overly well in the last 3 games. lol... What is he supposed to do exactly? Like someone said. I'd love for him to stay, but that would need to be at a massive change in how the club plays. He is wasted here playing that way we do. I think we're all fans of great football, and seeing Hazard achieve that would be great in its own right. But like I said in an earlier post in here, it really is tragic that a lot of our own fans feel this way about Hazard. Meanwhile you have Klopp making Salah look way better than he is, and Pep making Sterling look like an out and out world beater.

Fainting could be caused by a number of things. Once he feels better he should be fine.

Look what Poch and Klopp have done at their clubs. Changed the way they play. When are we finally going to get that? Don't get me wrong. The titles have been fantastic, but when are we going to be the club that goes away, and can actually dominate a game at another big teams ground. City embarrassed us today, but did so at the Bridge as well. We had 30% possession that day too. Sick of the defensive showings everywhere we go.
