Brentford vs Chelsea

[Laylabelle 9,539]

Make that still 1 win in 8 games against them....

[Vesper 30,291]

should have scored again

[Vesper 30,291]

Garnacho has been great

[YorkshireBlue 3,298]

Absolutely shit defensive performance 

[Vesper 30,291]

BAD draw

wtf

[Laylabelle 9,539]

We were never going to challenge for the title with that defence..I dont get how the issues havent been addressed they've been so obvious since game one!

But but.. they bought 10 defenders and 5 goalkeepers.

[Vesper 30,291]

no way we come close to winning the EPL with games like this

[Pizy 18,992]

Bayern will be licking their lips at our defense.

Long balls and long throws cause a club with title/UCL ambitions that many issues. Issues we didn’t correct over an entire 90 minutes.

Yeah, thats a really great positive.

But as usual the negligence shown to our back line for the past 3 years rearing its ugly head.

Tosin is a decent squad player.  So is Chalobah. And today Tosin was awful.

We should ideally have at least 3 starting quality CBs, and only Colwill barely meets that requirement.

Dreadful from Garnacho on that last Brentford goal.

[Laylabelle 9,539]

The problems were obvious against West Ham..they were obvious against Fulham. So frustrating

Yeah the back line is problematic.

If it weren't for Maresca, the club would probably be still thinking of Disasi as a solution.

Just like they think Fofana and Badiashile are viable options.

All 3 CBs proving to be disastrous buys.

[Laylabelle 9,539]

They did deserve something from it I guess and we generally dont win against Brentford these days...but to be so close makes it worse.

[xPetrCechx 13,578]

They almost scored twice from long throws,  so please give them another opportunity to score...

 

[Vesper 30,291]

horrid CB play all game

if we ignore that its his fault that we conceded the second goal, then sure.

[Fulham Broadway 17,361]

Not that hard to chuck the ball 30 or 40 yards with a run up and one foot off the ground

[Mário César 1,331]

As I said, no way we can fight for the title. top4 and thats it

Not with the current backline. And certainly not without Colwill.

With all the UEFA FFP constraints it was going to be tough to bring in a quality CB this summer.

Should have got rid of Disasi and others a while ago, and invested in real quality instead of just filling in the squad with numbers.
