Enzo was our best player today. Probably the only good one aside from Caicedo.

Semenyo is a hell of a player. 

[LAM09 7,056]

Talk will come up about Jackson again. We didn't take two big chances, so we only have ourselves to blame, antifootball or not.

Maresca didn't do much to help us either today.

[Vesper 30,195]

so up to 9 points dropped we should have had, grrrrrr

4 draws we should have won, and we should have drawn with Pool

The ironic thing is that Everton rolls over and show their arse to Liverpool in the same kind of fixture.

Here though, they came with a game plan and executed it well enough

 

Yeah, they'll lose against Liverpool 0:4 oder 1:6. But against Chelsea, they play like a different team 

[Blue Armour 4,443]

Robbie Earle putting a positive spin, saying that a hard fought away draw by a young Chelsea side is still a good point to take.

I agree with him. Came tantalizingly close to breaking the deadlock though. That's the frustrating part.

SHIT

2 more points dropped

ARFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Nico's 2 misses on sitters fucked us

Jackson is really frustrating to watch, is simply not good enough to lead a title charge, these are the type of games a top striker would have bailed us out. Sigh

Liverpool have a different game play to us though. Don't think so much case of roll over more Liverpool have the players who can score game in game out...Salah etc

The games where Palmer is a passenger we need to be brave and take him off

[lluubbeenn 174]

Very hard game to watch. I think everyone played ok, but this has to be the last time Gusto plays at lb. He can’t use his left foot and makes all the attacks predictable. On the positive side we got a clean sheet against the shittiest attack in the league 😀

I think Guiu deserved 5-10 minutes at least. We are still in a good position. Let’s beat Fulham!!!

Sancho should have been off after 30 minutes, and Disasi is useless. Get Veiga on and let Gusto play his natural position. He was super limited on the left. 

Neto and Noni should have been running at these fools all game. 

 

Sanchez once again proves people wrong on here. Saved us points. 

Noni was useless to be fair, one of the worst and most ineffective sub appearances I've seen in a while

For me probably the most interesting thing would have been to see Felix but who knows how effective he would have been either.

Tough opposition in tough conditions. It is what it is. Last year we would have lost a game like this 3-0.

[King Kante 1,643]

That game is exactly why I call Disasi, Disaster. Some idiots will go, 'oh, I thought he was OK. Jackson much worse'.

However, they fail to realise his:

a) inability to run off the ball

b) move the ball forward

c) read the game so the other defenders and GK don't have to bail him out everytime the ball gets moved forward owing to his brain dead fucking positioing/not allowing his man inside.

I mean, let's look for a common denominator of playing sh*t and that fecking idiot in the side. 

Tbh, I am not even angry at him individually. As he is simply a shit player who clearly looks like he knows he is not at the same level as his team mates and opponents - even when they are decking Noah, dispossessing him numerous times. Yet, he still plays multiple games for us. Fucking joke.

yes, it is a quandry

I still want to know what happened with (granted I slated him hard for a long spell) Samu

I mean, IF we rated him that much, we should have pulled the trigger (and I was wrong on CuCu, so I am far from infallible)

he does look like he could be a beast now

[Mhsc 1,097]

Depressing but true. Spurs fans would absolutely love to lose today.

[Pizy 18,926]

The kind of match where we really miss having that alternative #9 to Jackson. A Giroud type.

Also a match where not having any threat whatsoever from our fullbacks in attack makes us easier to defend against. They were able to double up on our wingers on both sides. Having a Reece James or Cucu overlapping makes a huge difference against deep blocks and parked buses. 

Thankfully, I never for even a second let myself think about the title or even a title race so I don’t care about losing ground to Liverpool. We aren’t ready for that yet. But ffs, it would’ve been nice to give ourselves a huge cushion to City and the others behind us.
