Costa, again!

Extremely poor today. I think this one, thus far, is on Nuno.

I think as a forward unit we're not quite there yet. When we have such a high amount of possession I feel we need a different type of player in the attacking phase. I'm not knocking our players, but we need more technical players. As I type, they score. Wounded,

That really was poor. I have seen Traore's name mentioned yet there were 5 or 6 who were equally poor. This is not a game for Traore or Coady. Also, if we are going to use a high-line we need to put more pressure on the Fulham back line. Our transitions are slow and we have Traore playing in a...

The problem today will be how we deal with Mitrovic. He will have the beating of Coady all day long in the air so I hope that very early we stick Boly on him, however, I feel he'll try to stay cantral to trouble Coady.

Agreed, was surprised that that incident wasn't given.

Which means Rafa has even more reason to be annoyed as it insinuates it should have been a foul/pen!

He is not, and never has been, a centre-forward. A deep-lying one, I hasten to add!

This!

Without a doubt, ugly game of football.

Boly going up with Rondon now

He's not exactly given himself as an option, thus far.....

Traore, who I actually don't think is a bad player, should never start in a central position, in any way, shape or form!

We cannot have Coady marking Rondon.

Absolutely fantastic. Endeavoured and persisted and the result came. I think Chelsea will be disappointed with the defeat but it was a fair result. Jota looked like the Jota of last season, I really do hope he kicks on from here and flourishes. There were many a good performance but I can't be...

Fucking Costa! Twice!

Wait one moment, why can one simply not put forward a plausible possibility without such insults? I've not seen anybody asking for his head nor say he should be gone! Simpy that we have played way below par recently and questions are being asked. Stop being so extreme, for crying out loud!

Then what is?

This is what I saw too, I can't see how anybody saw it differently. We did not attack with conviction and nor did we at any point look in control. Cardiff didn't play that well but they endeavoured and ground at a result. They had other chances too.

Earlier in thread you said we pre-planned to play more direct football. That was also false, we played the ball to feet without being to hold it up or without runners from midfield. Please, enlighten me, how did we play differently tonight.
