Home defeat pending 😪

Which is quite plausible IMO given the run of form, and what will be a terrible end to the season + missing out on Europe. The "project" needs to be binned, and the squad needs to be properly built again to address lack of physicality, leadership and goals. (2/2)

Rosenior (nice guy as he is) is in well over his head at the moment. No credible manager would touch us with a barge pole, with the clowns upstairs running the circus. Best we can hope for is that there's a falling out between Eghbahli/Chuckle Brothers + Shields (1/2)

You've got skin like tissue paper if you think I was being a cunt to you. All the best, maybe get some fresh air.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 jeez, chill out.

You keep telling yourself whatever you need to!

No idea who was motm in either leg. Even poor players can have good days though; similarly as a team sport, poor players can be carried along in a good side at times.

I've been saying the same things about him for years, even when he was playing for us pre-Mendy.

How did that experience help him yesterday? Experience isn't worth anything if the player is of poor quality, and isn't capable of learning.

I'm under no illusions about Sanchez, believe me. Much rather have him than Kepa though! Jorgensen is probably worse than both though 😂

Might sound a bit nuts, but I think if he wasn't Basque, he wouldn't have been signed, I can imagine he might have been chosen for that reason as you were bringing in Zubimendi - to help him settle in.

I take your point, but I'm not talking value for money here - just quality.

I'd argue knowingly signing a keeper that has issues with long shots, crosses, is ordinary at best with his feet, and isn't tall enough (when considered with his overall flaws); is poor business regardless of fee.

Chelsea supporter here - Kepa is most definitely a bad keeper.

They can deny it all they like, but anyone with a brain knows that they want to sell Acheampong.

I can't make sense of that back four. At all.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Playing Jorgensen, a Championship level goalkeeper on that stage, and adding pressure of insisting he play out from the back; it was only going to end one way.

Any thoughts on how the change of goalkeeper coach has seemingly coincided with Sanchez loss of form?

Far better than the noughties remake!

I feel like I've aged 40 years watching that. Football eh

Ah Marin...I was buzzing when we signed him. I'd watched him play years before at under 21 level and thought he was class. Turned out he was less so. Still, will always have that horror challenge vs QPR to look back on...

What a hit

I won't ask what that would make Gittens...

Big save that, felt it would be fated for Rom to score.

He's a head-down merchant. Doesn't see the pass until it's too late, which I think contributes to this.
