Tomo 21,751 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I'll give him the benefit of the doubt it's first game jitters but Saul looks totally out of his depth. bohops and bigbluewillie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Villa are better than I thought they would be. And we are much much worse than I thought. FFS get Saul off it's too early for him, and get Ziyech off he's a fucking liability. Jorgino for Saul, Havertz on the right and Werner on for the Moroccan.

different level 1,056 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Maybe we rotated a bit too much? Obviously Reece is suspended so we didn't have many options at RWB, but Saul's debut and Chalobah's experience play time could have been postponed for the Carabao Cup game.

Pizy 18,913 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 We’ve been completely outplayed here. Outworked, too. No control in midfield and this CHO at wingback experiment looks awful. There’s a massive, gaping chasm on the right flank of our defense. Need to wake the fuck up now. We’re basically inviting Villa upon us with this bombardment of free kicks and corners.

LAM09 7,056 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Extremely fortunate not to be losing after that half. I was worried about us being lightweight in midfield before KO, and it's proving to be an issue, not to mention Saul's horrific first half.

Nero 1,874 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Everytime after an international break we seem to lose our flow a little. You guys here need to come down. Vybz Kartel and bigbluewillie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,142 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Kovacic is such a good player. Will repeat and repeat again, the most underrated player in the league. Pure quality. bohops, Johnnyeye and Vybz Kartel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Saul absolutely shocking. There was a reason Atletico didnt mind getting rid though, so still think it's a decent gamble. Hakim on the other hand adds nothing at all, and should fucking know the league by now. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Kounde is very much needed. I love Chelsea youth players but Chalobah is not at our level. He is a decent squad player nothing more mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him, Silva, Rudiger, Azpilicueta (if Reece James play wing back) is more than enough with Chalobah as a backup. Vybz Kartel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
