closed Chelsea 0-0 Lyon

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

Ah, Moses.  How I've missed your inability to make decisions.  Zappacosta was streaming in.

[Artandur 939]

This is probably our best pair of CB‘s tbh.

[robsblubot 3,508]

Tammy is not usable at this time. Will not get a loan in the PL.

bakayoko is the worst player on the pitch as usual. Danny slightly above that.

RLC is playing well even when dropping back.

moses on the left now

No one is making runs.  The intricate passing is nice, but the 3rd man runs are what opens everything up.

[Pizy 18,368]

Man, didn't think it was possible for a player to be slower to turn than Cesc was but Drinkwater may be. Looks like a 50 year old out here! 😂

[Pizy 18,368]

Also don't think DD is a good fit for Sarriball. Too slow on the ball. Takes too long to decide what to do with it.

[whats happening 1,525]

dd only passes backwards. bakayoko was literally invisible. abraham is not for this kind of football. zappacosta was ok, emerson is better than alonso, no doubt.

We could do away with that midfield. Offer literally nothing

Probably our best back 4, Emerson and Zappocosta bring so much more energy.

Jorgingo is like 10 levels above Drinkwater. Why the fuck did we ever sign him....what were they expecting?

[Special Juan 27,429]

This is the most pointless game ever, absolute disaster.

Work horses in midfield.  That's what Conte wanted.  He wanted better quality, but you can see what Drinkwater and Bakayoko have to offer in a technical side.

At least good to get Willian minutes. He'll likely be the only starter against Huddesfield of this lot.

As for Bakayoko, you can tell he's still completely terrified of making a catastrophic mistake. Just like he was last season. Only plays the safest passes and sort of hides. That I could deal with because at least he's not hurting us. But then when he's defending his positioning was very poor that half. Midfield was open where he was supposed to be.

Honestly, I wish we'd loan/sell Baka and DD and keep RLC as an option along with Barkley and Kovacic for that attacking midfield role.

[Vybzkartel 284]

Drinkwater into the bin.

On the contrary. It exposes Bakayoko and Drinkwatee that little bit more so Sarri can see how truly shit they are.

It's double deuce out there.  Moses is also back to being a shit winger.  At least he's homegrown and 5th choice.  I guess from that perspective, Drinkwater can stay this season (assuming Kovacic is done).

Fuck it, I’m calling it, Ampadu is the best defender we have at the moment.

 

Please please please give him a proper number unless he likes 44.
