Musonda has played, but maybe should be playing more. Don't know what is up with Kenedy... Every start for Rudiger and Christensen was due to suspension (Luiz red card and Cahill red card) or injury (Rudiger today because Azpi was moved to RWB). When the whole squad is fit they will be back on the bench with Cahill starting over them in every match that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the best solution for now Cahill's defending for Pereyra's goal was just . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 could they (pundits) just quit moaning about the corner that shouldn't have been? WTF!? If you cannot defend a freaking corner than perhaps you deserve to lose the game? BTW, as someone who like Alonso for what he is, which again has not changed by the time we signed him, he was so poor today that I agree he needs to be benched.

It was embarrassing to say the least. There was someone else tracking the player with the ball. Why did he track him too? (he even tripped in the process!) The goal practically came from the spot he vacated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The origin isn't the problem if the ball is given away at half way. The attack needs to formulate, and it occurred completely because of Cahill. That was actually some of the worst defending I've seen. He left his spot to follow a player who was already being tracked. Literally came across the field, and ended up tripping. He had an embarrassingly bad game. Can't believe people were calling for Luiz to be dropped who was our best player aside from Bats last night.

bluephoenix 1,131 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I can feel for Conte here, he is in a critical position just like all the other managers we had. When the starting 11 doesn't perform we expect the managers to rotate with the younger squad, but we(board and fans) are not willing to take couple of successive defeats. I mean he/the team have lost 2 matches and drew one, no manager would risk getting fired and obviously go with the exp. players. Our board is still not ready for that I feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the best solution for now The moment Alonso was removed, we became very mobile on the left with Azpilicueta. Watford couldn't attack as much through that side and Azpi had the speed to both defend and attack. Wing back is the only position that gives us width, playing a slow snail like speed in that position is unheard-of among any top team except Chelsea.
