Chelsea 0-1 Nottm Forest

[Thor 2,392]

We're very lucky at the absolute lack of comp there is from 3 teams that we won't get relegated. Any other year... 

[DH1988 1,273]

Didn’t have time to catch the second half, any summary? Actual summary, not a one word shit show 😆

[Blue Armour 4,290]

Yes, maybe Poch shouldn't be so cautious.

But what do you expect?

The side is very inexperienced. Even with a back 5, it still conceded because of a mixup in central midfield.

Those kind of mistakes will continue to happen this season with this lot, regardless of the manager. 

If anything, you should be looking at the administration that decided it was okay to flood the squad with talented youth and barely any players from the upper age brackets.

It's a gamble, which would be excellent if it pays off - but the risks are always there.

So yes, you will see more of these see saw performances.

One lavia comes in, gallagher needs to be benched permanently...cost us the goal and the game

[King Kante 1,484]

Thank god we upgraded the side this year according to some on here.

[MoroccanBlue 5,306]

Absolute scenes if Chilwell starts LW against Bournemouth.

Caicedo was just as much at fault, if not more. 

[Vesper 28,856]

close to a billion quid spent gross and we cant even score against a team that was 1 win, with a minus 36 GD in their last 21 away league games

He is another defensively minded midfielder. He isn’t going to solve our goalscoring or creativity issues, is he? I mean people kept saying about how a MF of Enzo, Caicedo and Lavia would be one of the best in the world. No it wouldn’t. Far from it. Good players but not enough creativity in them, barring Enzo, but he cannot do it all by himself.

Personally hope Poch takes one of Disasi or Colwill out and goes with a back 4. He has to, no?

Poch is entirely to blame for these types of losses. 

Just packs it in for a half, puts immense pressure on the players to make it happen in 15-30 minutes, and at the same time makes them play with a crutch by having players all out of position and not set up for attacking. 

Bell end. 4 at the back dipshit. It ain't hard. 

[Alabama 1,992]

All on Pochettino...

Why back 5?

Why Gallagher?

[Alabama 1,992]

Don't tell me inexperience bullshit...Pochettino out...

Disasi is probably our biggest goal threat after Sterling as pathetic as that sounds.

I'd rather it be Silva. 

I actually think he slows down our play a lot. I've said it before, individually defending - great. Kinda like the Ibra situation at Man United. He scored, and individually still decent, but doesn't fit the team.

I agree

[LAM09 6,752]

I'm starting to lose patience with our reluctance to spend big on PROVEN attacking players. Spending sizeable amounts for what at this point?

Here I was thinking we had a good run after the Liverpool game to cement a high league position. Two defeats out of four are almost cause for serious concern. Poch needs to really fix up fast, or we'll only be adding to that number.
