nta786 Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 Do we look a shadow of our former selves or are Chelsea just that good? This performance takes me back to the days where you go into games against the big teams with absolutely no chance- the gulf in class looks huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igsey Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 Feels like a training exercise for Chelsea, defence v attack. Can't understand how Minamino has replaced Adams in this side after so little time to learn Ralph's intricate system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrensup Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 Going to be a long game me thinks. wonder if we’re just plain being out played, or are we trying to defend in a more containing manner then second half try and turn it on a bit?

Exactly this, really bizarre formation unless djenpo not following orders, we look completely clueless, adams needs to come on and hold up play, redmond and minimino can't retain the ball Edited 20 February, 2021 by danjosaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 If there's one positive here, we know that possession doesn't necessarily mean a won game. But we're not capitalising on anything...just giving it back to them with sloppy passing. Gonna be a long afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 4 minutes ago, BotleySaint said: Doesn't seem to be anyone playing RB/RWB Yep, my thoughts.

BotleySaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 Whew, risky passing it around at the back and inviting pressure. Romeu and JWP being turned a bit too easily at the moment. Showing up our lack of pace in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 This is just painful to watch. Nearly half an hour played and we haven't mounted anything even resembling a meaningful attack. Ings has barely had a single touch. Doesn't look like anyone understands the formation and there's no intensity whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 I can’t help but feel a little sorry for Djenepo- probably doesn’t want to play in the role he is being asked to do.
