grrrrr

not happy we coughed up that goal

They made far too many inroads on our defence, especially in the first half. 

[Vesper 27,342]

lol

Didn't really look like a team playing for the manager who demands respect. 

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Gallagher sounds like Becks

[Vesper 27,342]

Absolute NO goes (no order)

get these dregs off the team, Sell them ASAP

Connor Gallagher, so overrated

Lewis Baker

Izzy Brown

Kasey Palmer

Donkeywater (horrid)

Ike Ugbo (2nd worst Chels player tonight, useless, so shit)

Lucas Piazon (worst player for us, made the pure shit Donkey look good)

Dujon Sterling (very disappointed, he was very poor, might give him a few more chances)

The blondie on the sidelines.

Ampadu was a real positive and batshuayi was good at times. But as said before, yeah it would have been nice to win as always but its just pre season. 80 percent of these guys are getting loaned or going back to the academy and casual fans had probably only heard of about 5 of them.

We have a transfer ban so no point just fully writing off the likes of bakayoko and drinkwater as we can't replace them so may as well get a look to see if they can have some benefit at least as squad players for Cup games etc unless they can improve.

Far too many players are out of their depth. Piazon couldn't even get into a relegated Serie A side weeks ago and here he is in the squad.

 

Lamps needs to be cut-throat from the get go by getting rid of players that have no chance. Club need to stop holding onto duds in the hope of making the odd dime.

Baker, Brown & Piazon are no longer kids.

We've already replaced them, Jorginho and Kovacic took their places in the squad.

I had a cardiologist appointment. Looks like I didn't miss much.

True, and I doubt any make the squad so it makes no difference. Bit unfair on brown given his injury problems as well but that's beside the point.

Worst case we wasted half a preseason game playing players who won't make the squad, so no big deal. Plus alot the first team and fringe players played in the summer so weren't gonna play tonight anyway.

The likes of Mount tomori Abraham etc. The 'youngsters' we really wanna see at this stage

Long season, injuries happen (I.e RLC). And most of the first team weren't gonna play this early. What's the harm in giving them a half?

We have three main players fighting for the two pivot/deepest midfield positions with Ampadu as an emergency 4th, there's just simply no space for them. As soon as Jorginho, Kova and Kante start playing they will likely be sent back.

I agree, I'm just saying our squad is our squad so no harm in playing them in the early pre season matches and sending them out if we decide to.

Practically all of the players playing today (bar the first teamers) won't make the squad.

If this was the final game of preseason and they've played shit and we're still trotting them out then the people moaning about them playing would have a point but not on game 1.
