Every soddin single one of them needed to be named and shamed!

See if Eden would give his 'I don't care, I thought I played good" speech.

An old Chelsea lad kinda sums them up

I think kovacic is quality, just can't do a lot in this joke of a system, reckon he'd be class if we were still a counter attacking team, we got a glimpse of that vs liverpool for the opening goal

They will surely do that but in truth Kovacic is just the ball hog version of Barkley with even less output.

He has played at Inter, Real and Croatia in various systems and never really established himself. He has always been the level he is now. Nice floating movement and good dribbling skills and that's it. I don't think he will ever become better. Even at Real who I consider one of the great counter attacking teams 2014-2017 he could not really get his mark, even though he always showed glimpses and can break free with his close control he usually misplaces the pass. It is like Willian. He too on paper is the perfect counter attacking player but just cant make a pass or decision to back up his running. Two of the greatest counter attacking players I have ever seen are Lampard and Ramires. Even if the one did not have the pace and the other one not the skill of Willian and Kovacic, they were absolutely deadly because they always made their mind up early and even at full sprint had the composure and concentration the apply the final pass or finish.

 We won't sign him if we are still a counter attacking team. We will play bakayoko and Kante.

naaa ... If we are to buy him then there are too many options out there who can be better than him. I feel he's just fine for now.

I don't think his position or formation will have any effect to scoring free kicks mate 🤣🤣

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

He's a bang average player that somehow continues to be trusted by Sarri. Barkley has no business starting games against big teams.

I disagree, he provides physical presence in midfield. If we have Paul pogba, there is no way we will play Barkley but we have either rlc who has not played in 2 months, Barkley or kovacic.

RLC should definitively start against Tottenham, he played great in his cameo.
