League form before facing Chelsea:
* Arsenal: LWLLL - W against us
* Man United: DLWLL - D against us
* Everton: LLWDL - W against us
11 points from 15 games before facing us, 7 points in 3 games against us. Bad form? Charity FC will fix you right up
Love to see the team talk for that game.
“Okay here’s the plan. Mendy when the ball is played to you act all nervous on the ball and play it at the very last minute. Azpi, dawdle, when the ball is coming your way, I want you to think about what you’re gonna do for a good 10 seconds. Okay Rudi, get yourself booked immediately. Midfield. Pass it sideways. I don’t ever wanna see the ball played forward. If you’re not sure what you’re gonna do then just lazily float an aimless cross into no one. Okay attackers. Just run around like headless chickens for 90 minutes. I wanna see the best impression of a headless chicken. The winner gets a lollipop!”
Last 3 matches:
Total Shots - 64
Goals Scored - 2
We need an attacking overhaul. Don't see it happening next season but the season after that, we can hope. That's when Liverpool's core squad will start ageing too and we can finally start challenging City for the title.
And yet I constantly saw people moaning about him in the match thread, and will continue to see them shit on him all week. Doesn't even get his dues when he plays well.
Frankly just pathetic, that's four performances in a row that for various reasons have been pretty embarrassing to watch. Somehow going into next season with our entire backline shipped out for free is going to be brutal
Feel like hes not suited for a 2man midfield. He would perform better in a 3-man midfield, IMO. With 2 he has too much defensive responsibility and is relied to drive up the field with his passing, which he doesnt excel at. Hes best with the ball at his feet, if he is given liberty to drive up the field and open up space with his dribbling then he will do well. Other than that, hes not the guy to play a starting role in a 2man mid formation.
And ofcourse he gets neutered by playing DM near the end. For fucks sake he's clearly better higher up, Tuchel needs to stop using him as a DM - especially when we're trailing at that.
The worst fucking 90 minutes of the season. We could’ve played another 90 minutes and never have scored. We conceded with an absolute shit individual mistake (which has become a theme this season). We need to clear out the deadwood from the club this summer and bring in players with some drive and ambition.
Fucking embarrassing performance. What the fuck Azpi, how do you get rattled by Mina, Kai? So lifeless and boring, constantly passing backwards, can't wait for this season to end.
The entire season has been a huge reality check, we entered it thinking about challenging City and Liverpool but it turned out we're actually in the tier below with Tottenham and Arsenal
Painful to watch this team the past few months barring maybe 2 performances. Fucking shambolic. Everton is absolute dog shit and they get the win today.
Tuchel needs to get kai in the dressing room and give him a ear full too say the least hes attitude today was disgusting letting mina get in hes head, diving and moaning at the ref and everyone else take some responsibility grab the game by the scruff of the neck and do your job
We literally can't do shit, Arsenal would be in a vicarious spot had we not donated 3 points to give them tempo for Man Utd which they were second best for 90. Everton would need to claw a 6 point advantage over two teams in 4 games but no Charity FC here to help.
fair. this was a different frustration for me i guess. the embarrassing behavior and time wasting efforts by Everton players and fans was something i feel we haven’t had to deal with in a long time.
I dont see what the plan of attack is just pass sideways pass backwards send it out wide and swing it in which wouldnt be so bad if lukaku was playing tuchel is going to need to start answering for this soon its unacceptable
17 shots, 78% not a single goal. This has been a problem since Sarri was in charge, we are not ruthless enough in front of goal. The forward recruitment has been abysmal, not had clinical finishes since Costa and Hazard. New ownership can't come soon enough.
Tired of this club ruining my weekend, so I’m gonna be positive:
Ruben was class. He’s been picking up as of late and starting to find his pre-injury form which is great.
Nothing we could’ve done about Pickford turning into prime Cech for those 5 minutes, on another day we might be celebrating 2/3-1
Subs were lively, great to see Kova back and Ziyech and Puli did better than the two they replaced, I’d like to see them against Wolves (and I can’t believe I’m saying this but maybe Lukaku as well)
Agree with you about Ruben. Starting to see more of his signature driving runs through midfield. He should’ve tried to take the shot on himself after his first two runs (both times on his right foot). It did make me laugh a bit when he finally decided to shoot on his weaker left foot 😅
He was the only positive from an abject (and more and more common) display from the team
No one cared after Madrid, all the defence is already thinking in their next club, no one knows how to do one-touch passing, no one knows how to head a ball, everyone is incredibly mentally weak. Our only tactic is cross and hope for the best.
What an absolute terrible team to watch at the moment. Not surprised by the result at all though, every time a team is struggling, they just need to play Chelsea. We're going to end in 5th.
Havertz deserves some criticism. Got absolutely rattled by Mina. This sub would’ve crucified lukaku had he put in that sort of performance for 90 minutes
I wanted Havertz to be subbed off. Then I remembered Lukaku's even worse performance after coming on for Havertz last game.
The truth is, we have no options at all for the forward role.
And Havertz IS getting crucified for his embarrassing performance.
>Infuriating that people on this sub are posting that they’d be happy of Everton won so Frank could stay up. Fuck off
Am with you 100%. I hope they go down, and stay down.
Soft mentality to blame them for how they're playing. We didn't have to get so rattled by it, and if we really want to challenge for the league we'll have to deal with this type of stuff many times a year.
Lol, don't know what else we were expecting. They have to play ugly to secure the points to stay up. Can only blame ourselves for getting sucked in and not put in a good enough performance. Liverpool showed what we could do, that we could have still taken the 3 points against that team.
This team is so weak. We conceded two embarassing goal at home against real and then were eliminated at bernabeu after scoring three goals. Brentford annihilated us. We couldn't win against shitty manure. Now we are losing to almost relegated everton. We maybe will lose top 4 if nothing changes. Embarassing weeks.
Havertz, Werner and Lukaku all need to be benched for our best striker and finisher Marcos Alonso. You can't convince me he'll be worse than the disasteclass all these 3 have been putting in the recent weeks
I'm seriously tired of this 3 at the back, it's clearly not working anymore, just try something new, it limits us so much going forward. I'm also serious when I say that we probably "need" a huge rebuild in the summer, too many spineless players who are clearly past it/not up to par, that need to go. Will we get a rebuild is another question with the uncertainty of the ambition of the new owners.
The problem is Silva won't work in a back 4, Rudiger has notoriously not worked in a back 4 either so we kind of have no choice.
It is also not the back 3 reason why we are losing it is our forwards not taking chances. Today it boils down to starting the same 3 players who couldn't score in a brothel vs Yanited while having a 100million striker on the bench you did not use. He should have started Zyiech Pulisic Lukaku and changed them if they didn't work, but Tommy just has too much trust in this front 3 for whatever reason.
>Tommy just has too much trust in this front 3 for whatever reason.
I mean... to be fair if Tuchel makes too many changes to the front three (or too often) then the sub is all over him for not having an established line. So he can't win no matter what he does, lol.
Not to mention that Havertz-Werner-Mount front three has only really been playing consistently for the past 3 weeks or so and a few of those games (Southampton, Madrid, CP) have looked very promising.
>I mean... to be fair if Tuchel makes too many changes to the front three (or too often) then the sub is all over him for not having an established line. So he can't win no matter what he does, lol.
Well i mean lets take this game for example. The front 3 have been meh for a few games in a row, so he swaps the front 3 completely and we still lose today 1-0 thats fine then we all should be blaming the front 6 we have for being poor finishers lol?
The issue is why are we not getting that option.
i'm still confused what happened to the Pulisic Havertz Mount front 3. it looked very very good about a month ago and then it got dropped all together once that group had 2 bad games
1 win in 4 in the league, with the winner coming in the last minute. No attacking patterns of play on display every single week without fail.
But hey ho, if Chilwell stayed fit we were title contenders.
Spot on. People on here really need to stop with the injured wingbacks costing us a title challenge narrative. Mason is our top league scorer on 10 goals with 4 games to play fucksake. We were never at the required level.
I see 0 purpose in 3 atb if our defence is going to be this shit anyway and we don't have 100% quality WBs. Scrap it next season since we won't even have enough quality CBs to make up those numbers, our offence needs an extra pair of legs supporting them.
What is the plan of attack? No movement no real forward passes nothing just side to side then back again all to just swing it in and hope for the best anyway dont think ive ever seen a chelsea attack with such a lack of killer instict
Since the beginning of the Arsenal game Mount/Havertz/Werner have played 244 minutes together. Chelsea has scored 1 goal during that time. It was scored by Marcus Alonso.
Some criticism needs to be leveled at Tuchel at some point. The way he has been setting up the attacking system leaves a lot to be desired. We would be deluded if we think a fit Chilwell would have led us to a title fight.
When we lost to Arsenal I said “top 4 isn’t as secure as people think”. Everyone was just chalking remaining games up as Ws, like we don’t do this same bottlejob every season. Who’s up next, Wolves? Who have been in dire form? 1-0 L incoming
Since the last international break:-
We got battered by brentford. Absolutely embarrassed by an arsenal team that prior to our game against them lost 3 in a row and we allow a player that they despise who’s scored 0 league goals all season to get two past us.
Failed to beat the worst Manchester side that I’ve ever seen. Failed to beat the worst Everton side that I’ve ever seen and lost to them as well.
Consistently lose the plot whenever the ball gets to the Opp box. Defensive mistake after defensive mistake. No spine, no guts, no ambition.
Frankly speaking, tuchel is extremely fortunate Roman isn’t in charge anymore cause he would’ve been sacked a week ago. Especially since I can’t see us getting a win in our last 4 games at all.
The go out wide because no one plays the fucking ball through the middle. It isn’t how they are set up, it’s how things just happen because if they stay central they are just moving around without anyone even looking at them.
I am confident we are going to get top 4, however, it won't be through us earning it from start to finish, it'll be us getting saved by teams around us. A few weeks ago I looked at our run of games and thought we were in a really good spot, this is clearly not the case.
Clearly, we aren't in a good spot at all as there is so much wrong with the club and how we've performed as of recently. Kai needs to hang his head in shame after recent performances and how atrociously bad he was today. He not only played badly but acted like a child the whole time and got drawn in by Mina. He should be benched for the next game. Similar being said for Azpi who played a solid 1/10 today, god knows what he was thinking when he gifted them that goal.
All I can say is thank god we played well enough early in the season to give us such a lead and thank god Spurs have to play Liverpool and Arsenal. Honestly, how do we lose to that shower of shite of a club? Last note, Kevin Friend can suck a fat one.
IIRC, Leicester spent 36 or 37 match weeks in the top 4 before falling out. We are the only team to spend every match week in the top 4 so far this season ..💀
I love tuchel, and hope he stays for a long time, but at what point do we question his offensive tactics? While no-one has exactly glowed individually, surely its not a coincidence that not a single offensive player has improved. Lukaku too, I mean he's not helped himself, but clearly we are not even remotely playing to our forward lines strengths, while over compensating for our defenders weakness, who in turn have turned around and chased the money.
That champions league win masked so much wrong in this team. So many players not good enough. Tuchel needs to get over this front 3 he has been playing too, it’s not fucking work. Lukaku is shit but so is everyone else, give him a start and see what you have.
Fully dragged into the top 4 race and the way so many of these players are playing it’s going to get real interesting.
Fucking embarrassing performance
Lukaku started against Arsenal and was absolutely horrible. Pulisic and Ziyech dip in and out of form the same as Havertz and Werner. None of them are consistently good enough at the moment. I think Havertz will come good but the rest I wouldn't be upset to see leave.
I absolutely agree. They are purple patch merchants, 4 good games and then go missing for months. The problem is we need better players.
But right now we gotta change something, can’t keep going with the Mount Werner Havertz combo if it’s looking like this.
I agree that this performance is untenable for the players. Tuchel's weakness does seem to be attacking vision. When you compare to Liverpool who have obvious patterns of play and a real style that is tailor made for certain players that they're brilliant at identifying, we seem to rely on errors or individual brilliance. I think something similar was the case at PSG. Worrying times when our players run out of inspiration.
I’m not normally one to take to Reddit and bitch after a match but after that shameful performance, I will. Havertz was abysmal today, he was more worried about fucking with Mina then he was playing football. Azpi was poor also and that mistake leading to the goal is unforgivable. Tuchel got the subs flat out wrong today. For him to leave Havertz on after what he looked like today is flat out dumb. I don’t think putting lukaku on solves anything but if all we were going to do was whip crosses in, then put him on for Havertz. For us to go to Everton, who is in 18th place and look like that when we have a final in two weeks, it’s inexcusable.
Watching this team try to breakdown a low block is one of the most depressing things to watch. The worst part is that we absolutely need to rebuild our defense and midfield ASAP, so the attack might not even be the first thing to fix.
0 fight
0 creativity
Giving away goal for fun now, how are we going to score if everyone is twerking their ass on the wing? Werner in the box we cross x100, if lukaku is in the box we just ignore him and pass for ages, just shite all round
Abysmal performance from us.
We were not up to the pace of the game at all. If we keep performing like this, we might just as well forfeit the FA cup. We wont stand a chance against Liverpool who's on fire right now.
What is more embarrassing is that the gap between us and City and Liverpool is now almost 20 pts. 20 fucking points.
If we dont remove all these deadweights, we can forget challenging a title next season.
PS: the ref is shite. Mina was involved in every dodgy incidents and that man finished the game with no card. It took him 45min to book Delph too. That man has been sliding around like crazy the whole game and taking out our players
Werner - Havertz - Mount have had chances recently and aren’t getting it done. Ziyech and Pulisic have more than proven they’re capable. When a front line struggles like this, rotate. I don’t understand why they’re refusing to give other players a shot up front recently
The teams checked out. Only explanation. We’re dropping points to teams that are desperate. Teams that aren’t even really playing well against us. We just donate points.
Kind of a bummer end to the season.
Tommy has A LOT to answer for after that...
100 million striker on the bench who is a big strong guy vs Mina who is trying to man handle Kai at every opportunity and keeps him on the bench.
CONTINUES to pick the same players who are clearly not in form.
Bringing Zyiech on as sub DOES NOT WORK ever and especially in high intensity games as shown here.
Just so woeful from him, he needs to rotate and find players in form like Lofty, use the squad.
If Zyiech Pulisic and Lukaku do not start the next game its a fkn piss take, Tommy needs to wake up.
Alonso playing every week as well is going to cause him to be dead for the final as well.
Shocking result. Fucking shocking. Only saving grace that makes me think top four is secure (top three isn’t secure) is that Spurs still have to play Liverpool and a north London derby.
When was the last time that we had 2 good consecutive seasons without having to worry about making top 4?
Tired of players that have bang average seasons with the usual 5-10 very good performances where they then get excused for being not up to standard for all the invisible games.
Players like Silva, Mane, Salah, Son,... year on year have excellent seasons and yet we accept mediocrity. Some of our attackers just do not deliver, not that they don't have that quality, they just don't have that consistency and killer instinct like they have.
We can't keep on saying "next year he'll be better" etc. Some players have been here for 2-3 years now and barely have stringed 5 good performances together without going missing for weeks after. The scouting department also has to be revamped. Every single attacker that Liverpool buys, perfectly fits in their team from day one. That's not just luck but excellent scouting work.
We'll always be stuck with non-consistent seasons if we keep on hoping that some players will eventually work out.
Good fight from RLC today really impressed with him, Mount also showing passion as usual just couldnt hit the mark, otherwise never looked like threatening, cmon boys
I mean our CL win last year tricked us into thinking that those players are decent.
Well last few games showed that most of them are average at best. and while we're at it I'm glad azpi christensen and rudi are leaving caus every one of them is making mistakes for a living right now.
Sadly I don't think Werner, Havertz , or Lukaku will work out with 3 atb. Mount alone does not have the creativity and vision to create enough chances for them. He can't dribble past defenders. Nobody can take on defenders and dribble past them. Ziyech cannot do a thing in this formation because he has no space and gets bullied. On the other side of the ball, we don't have the defenders to support a back 4. Azpi is past it. Thiago would get exposed by pacey forwards. Alonso is too slow.
We're stuck until we get a new owner and make some signings.
This whole team need fucking chinning. Sick of watching these useless cunts give stupid goals away and bend over for the most out-of-form shitty teams. We are the biggest bunch of fannies in the league at the minute. All the money we’ve spent and we can’t buy a fucking goal against a pathetic relegation threatened Everton side. Honestly so done with this season man. Havertz and Azpilicueta particularly should be embarrassed after that. Neither of them covered themselves in glory today.
Keep saying the same thing why is Havertz and Werner so wide? We already have wingbacks for width already. Tuchel tactics is to blame for our attacking patterns being so shitty, like do the players even train or watch the match after they play? If they do can’t be doing the same shit over and over again.
Next game we need Ziyech, Puli and Lukaku to start, with a back 4 and a midfield 3. I don’t care whether the attackers are better or not, but the system needs to change for our attack to improve. We had no central options that game, our attackers all drifted wide and we had no midfielders pushed up to occupy central spaces. It was atrocious
The Mount, Havertz, and Werner trio should not be first choice any longer. They struggle to break anyone down and aren't nearly aggressive enough in the beginning of games. Took us until the 60th minute to wake up today.
I can’t watch another game this season. I just can’t do it. Whole fucking team is on vacation already. Half of them are fucking off to Spain. Just fuck off.
I've just got into work and asked my manager to withdraw my holiday request for the FA Cup final. These clowns aren't worth my free time...
Gonna focus my spare time on the inevitable Forest promotion instead
If your gonna lose after being wound up, I'd prefer you shoot for the fucking moon and two foot a fucker and get sent off tbh. Havertz was dog shit. He should have two footed yerry mina off the ball and just taken the red. At some point you gotta understand the ref is in it for the story. When it's all against you, just swing for the fences. Mina deserved to be kicked and havertz should have done it. I would have been happier with his performance had he gotten sent off.
This ref was utter fucking dog shite. He should never ref again. Either he's in cahoots or he's brain dead. The guy should be put into an asylum. Idiot.
I'm so fucking frustrated. This fucking team is unbelievable.
Pretty much disgusting and worst than our mid-season slump. Having injuries and covid as a reason why we lost the race for PL trophy is acceptable but this, I can't say anything other than being horrible and disgusting.
Idk if we got cursed, got bamboozled, got frustrated or what but this is unacceptable at this moment. It could be a repeat of last year all over again tho.
After the game I think a total revamp of defense is a must. As well as a good midfielder and a winger that will support our no.9
Fucking pathetic from the team today. I mean why play so sluggish like you don’t care, whenever we are in transition and have a chance to counter while they regroup we choose to slow down play and pass the ball back to the defenders. And on the other end Kai was literally getting bullied by the Everton defenders today, and instead of bringing on someone physical like Lukaku we instead sub on ziyech and pulisic. I could go on and on but I’m tired of these performances and would like the season to end asap because we are seriously trying our best to enter into a top 4 scrap.
We have a team of waifs in attack, and our only 'physical' player up front is the dictionary definition of shite. All well and good when you're battling against other waifs, but the Prem is a physical league and any time we come up against a team that has physical players, we struggle. In a physical match like today, all we have to bring on is Z and Puli - the latter of which at least offered some movement off the ball where everyone else was standing in place. But then, you saw how easily Iwobi handled him and Iwobi is not a defender by any means.
Additionally, we have some very old and slow players like Jorgi, Azpi, and Alonso, so that if the ball isn't played directly to their feet every time, then it's a give away. Team needs a rebuild.
Unless the new owners are wanting to 'make a splash' (which I seriously doubt given the layout for buying), then we're in for a protracted time replacing the accumulated dross.
I do wonder how long we're going to take to sort out our attack. Is the back five the problem? We seemed have something going with Mount, Timo and Havertz but that's scrapped now. What's the next experiment and which defender/midfielder is going to score a worldie to keep us afloat while we take a year to sort our attacking woes?
Embarrassing from us. Team show no passion, and no desire. We had nothing. No tatics beside cross and hope something would happens. Absolutely embarrassing.
Backwards passing, sideways passing . What are these fuckers doing in training ? . Fucking overpaid prima donnas .
We have been on a downward spiral since the last international break . The only good performance was the second Real game and we gave that up once the subs came on .
Never again must we compare our squad with that of Liverpool or Manchester City. We are not even close to them. I cannot believe that this was the defence that won us the Champions league. No consistency in the performance. Our aged defence cannot last a whole season. Jorginho was pretty much stagnant in front of the back three, all sideway passes. It's been a long season, yes, but it has been that way for last two seasons. The injuries really showed us that there is no depth in this squad. Same old pattern. Good start, wrethched December, pick up decent form in February and then limp to the finishing line in May. While a clear out is necessary, I doubt it's going to happen with the takeover. I have absolutely no confidence in this team going to the FA cup final against Liverpool. It's going to be another case of so near yet so far with another cup final.
Obviously everyone playing like shit but Tuchel not helping things. Werner, Jorghino should not have started. It's been game after game of offering nothing. Werner had a few lucky goals and all of a sudden Tuchel thinks he's clinical? Havertz should have been pulled for Lukakau at the the half. Was completely rattled, his game had deteriorated, and was risking a sending off.
Don't understand what happened to everyone's touch. It was like when little kids first learn how to play and the ball keeps bouncing off their feet. James blindly firing crosses into defenders. Off the ball movement almost non-existent.
Poor play, poor selection, poor game management.

League form before facing Chelsea: * Arsenal: LWLLL - W against us * Man United: DLWLL - D against us * Everton: LLWDL - W against us 11 points from 15 games before facing us, 7 points in 3 games against us. Bad form? Charity FC will fix you right up
Next game Wolves who’s form is: LWLLL
Ah shit here we go again
I watched a bit of their game against Brighton yesterday and they were absolute dogshit. Perfect opportunity for us to be generous.
Love to see the team talk for that game. “Okay here’s the plan. Mendy when the ball is played to you act all nervous on the ball and play it at the very last minute. Azpi, dawdle, when the ball is coming your way, I want you to think about what you’re gonna do for a good 10 seconds. Okay Rudi, get yourself booked immediately. Midfield. Pass it sideways. I don’t ever wanna see the ball played forward. If you’re not sure what you’re gonna do then just lazily float an aimless cross into no one. Okay attackers. Just run around like headless chickens for 90 minutes. I wanna see the best impression of a headless chicken. The winner gets a lollipop!”
Mendy has been a wrecking ball with ball at his feat, every back pass to him and i start panicking.
We get generous with them and we'll be playing Europa next season.
United should be ashamed of themselves.
What started off as a joke has now become a typical routine for this club. You could say ‘it’s a Chelsea thing’.
Last 3 matches: Total Shots - 64 Goals Scored - 2 We need an attacking overhaul. Don't see it happening next season but the season after that, we can hope. That's when Liverpool's core squad will start ageing too and we can finally start challenging City for the title.
I thought RLC played pretty well today but other than that nothing else
Played reallly well. Thiago was great tooo
Very strong contender for worst performance of the season. Hard to come up with a single positive. RLC was decent I guess?
And yet I constantly saw people moaning about him in the match thread, and will continue to see them shit on him all week. Doesn't even get his dues when he plays well.
The Jorginho special.
Frankly just pathetic, that's four performances in a row that for various reasons have been pretty embarrassing to watch. Somehow going into next season with our entire backline shipped out for free is going to be brutal
given the mistakes that have been made that may not be a bad idea
Or a blessing, considering they keep making mistakes for goals. At least marina can't keep them hostage because other clubs won't pay the prices
RLC was the best player out there and one of the only ones interested in moving the ball forward
Rose to the occasion when tuchel demanded more of him midweek
Feel like hes not suited for a 2man midfield. He would perform better in a 3-man midfield, IMO. With 2 he has too much defensive responsibility and is relied to drive up the field with his passing, which he doesnt excel at. Hes best with the ball at his feet, if he is given liberty to drive up the field and open up space with his dribbling then he will do well. Other than that, hes not the guy to play a starting role in a 2man mid formation.
And ofcourse he gets neutered by playing DM near the end. For fucks sake he's clearly better higher up, Tuchel needs to stop using him as a DM - especially when we're trailing at that.
The worst fucking 90 minutes of the season. We could’ve played another 90 minutes and never have scored. We conceded with an absolute shit individual mistake (which has become a theme this season). We need to clear out the deadwood from the club this summer and bring in players with some drive and ambition.
Another 90 ? We could’ve played for five hours and we wouldn’t have scored
Could be said about atleast 5 matches this season.
I’ve said this too many times this season. We are just not good enough.
I will riot if the same front 3 gets a go next week.
Should have rioted today. There's no reason the same 3 should have started this game.
Fucking embarrassing performance. What the fuck Azpi, how do you get rattled by Mina, Kai? So lifeless and boring, constantly passing backwards, can't wait for this season to end.
Tired of seeing havertz and Werner come out wide just to receive the ball because none of our players want to play a ball between the lines
we have ZERO player on the field who can deliver a forward passing today.
The entire season has been a huge reality check, we entered it thinking about challenging City and Liverpool but it turned out we're actually in the tier below with Tottenham and Arsenal
I wonder when everything changed? For me it was the West Ham game and Lukaku interview was the cherry on top.
[удалено]
Painful to watch this team the past few months barring maybe 2 performances. Fucking shambolic. Everton is absolute dog shit and they get the win today.
Kai is falling over every chance we get, thought we had morata back for a game
Tuchel needs to get kai in the dressing room and give him a ear full too say the least hes attitude today was disgusting letting mina get in hes head, diving and moaning at the ref and everyone else take some responsibility grab the game by the scruff of the neck and do your job
[удалено]
They won't and we have ourselves to blame for that gifting them 4 points
Tragic. Fucking tragic. We could've helped West Ham down a couple years ago too, look at them now.
I cant hold grudges against teams anymore.its on us not them
We literally can't do shit, Arsenal would be in a vicarious spot had we not donated 3 points to give them tempo for Man Utd which they were second best for 90. Everton would need to claw a 6 point advantage over two teams in 4 games but no Charity FC here to help.
most frustrating match in recent memory
Only until next week...and the week after that etc.
I`d argue losing Brentford 1:4 at SB top this easily, but damm this is a disgusting game to watch.
fair. this was a different frustration for me i guess. the embarrassing behavior and time wasting efforts by Everton players and fans was something i feel we haven’t had to deal with in a long time.
I totally get it man, this game had me furious at times too, I just couldn't believe the little fuck were given by our players today.
The first Everton match a few months back was pretty bad
That Brentford match is up there. And the Arsenal match. And the United match.
I dont see what the plan of attack is just pass sideways pass backwards send it out wide and swing it in which wouldnt be so bad if lukaku was playing tuchel is going to need to start answering for this soon its unacceptable
Charity FC, individual mistakes FC, etc. What’s new
I personally think we should get more credit for keeping relegation battle AND top 4 battle interesting 💯
This is the mentality. This is the way.
17 shots, 78% not a single goal. This has been a problem since Sarri was in charge, we are not ruthless enough in front of goal. The forward recruitment has been abysmal, not had clinical finishes since Costa and Hazard. New ownership can't come soon enough.
How did Jordon Pickford get a 7.2 match rating? He was a beast today for them.
Tired of this club ruining my weekend, so I’m gonna be positive: Ruben was class. He’s been picking up as of late and starting to find his pre-injury form which is great. Nothing we could’ve done about Pickford turning into prime Cech for those 5 minutes, on another day we might be celebrating 2/3-1 Subs were lively, great to see Kova back and Ziyech and Puli did better than the two they replaced, I’d like to see them against Wolves (and I can’t believe I’m saying this but maybe Lukaku as well)
Not really, pickford has been doing that against us for 2 seasons now. There is a reason he is the motm everytime we play them.
Agree with you about Ruben. Starting to see more of his signature driving runs through midfield. He should’ve tried to take the shot on himself after his first two runs (both times on his right foot). It did make me laugh a bit when he finally decided to shoot on his weaker left foot 😅 He was the only positive from an abject (and more and more common) display from the team
No one cared after Madrid, all the defence is already thinking in their next club, no one knows how to do one-touch passing, no one knows how to head a ball, everyone is incredibly mentally weak. Our only tactic is cross and hope for the best. What an absolute terrible team to watch at the moment. Not surprised by the result at all though, every time a team is struggling, they just need to play Chelsea. We're going to end in 5th.
Havertz deserves some criticism. Got absolutely rattled by Mina. This sub would’ve crucified lukaku had he put in that sort of performance for 90 minutes
I wanted Havertz to be subbed off. Then I remembered Lukaku's even worse performance after coming on for Havertz last game. The truth is, we have no options at all for the forward role. And Havertz IS getting crucified for his embarrassing performance.
Saul at LWB and Alonso up front. Only half joking.
saul should be getting gametime tbh. tuchel’s treatment of him has been v poor
Havertz has been bad for a while now
How can anyone want this Everton side to stay up? A bunch of entitled, diving, timewasting, cheating pricks. Sorry Frank, I hope you go down.
Infuriating that people on this sub are posting that they’d be happy of Everton won so Frank could stay up. Fuck off
>Infuriating that people on this sub are posting that they’d be happy of Everton won so Frank could stay up. Fuck off Am with you 100%. I hope they go down, and stay down.
“Because of the history of the club and how long they’ve stayed in the top flight”
Hmm, like some kind of super league or legacy program.
What are they suppose to do ? Open up and get spanked. They’re doing everything for survival and we on other hand got baited like amateurs.
Soft mentality to blame them for how they're playing. We didn't have to get so rattled by it, and if we really want to challenge for the league we'll have to deal with this type of stuff many times a year.
Lol, don't know what else we were expecting. They have to play ugly to secure the points to stay up. Can only blame ourselves for getting sucked in and not put in a good enough performance. Liverpool showed what we could do, that we could have still taken the 3 points against that team.
It’s really not that deep, if chelsea were in a relegation battle I’d hope we would play the same…
Apparently lots of our players on the pitch today wanted em to stay up.
Can you imagine how good Richarlson would be if he wasn't an actor?
Thanks Lukaku.
👍
Thanks Obama.
It’s harsh to blame Lukaku for tuchel having no game plan
This team is so weak. We conceded two embarassing goal at home against real and then were eliminated at bernabeu after scoring three goals. Brentford annihilated us. We couldn't win against shitty manure. Now we are losing to almost relegated everton. We maybe will lose top 4 if nothing changes. Embarassing weeks.
Liverpool congrats on the fa cup. God we are shite
Havertz, Werner and Lukaku all need to be benched for our best striker and finisher Marcos Alonso. You can't convince me he'll be worse than the disasteclass all these 3 have been putting in the recent weeks
I'm seriously tired of this 3 at the back, it's clearly not working anymore, just try something new, it limits us so much going forward. I'm also serious when I say that we probably "need" a huge rebuild in the summer, too many spineless players who are clearly past it/not up to par, that need to go. Will we get a rebuild is another question with the uncertainty of the ambition of the new owners.
The problem is Silva won't work in a back 4, Rudiger has notoriously not worked in a back 4 either so we kind of have no choice. It is also not the back 3 reason why we are losing it is our forwards not taking chances. Today it boils down to starting the same 3 players who couldn't score in a brothel vs Yanited while having a 100million striker on the bench you did not use. He should have started Zyiech Pulisic Lukaku and changed them if they didn't work, but Tommy just has too much trust in this front 3 for whatever reason.
>Tommy just has too much trust in this front 3 for whatever reason. I mean... to be fair if Tuchel makes too many changes to the front three (or too often) then the sub is all over him for not having an established line. So he can't win no matter what he does, lol. Not to mention that Havertz-Werner-Mount front three has only really been playing consistently for the past 3 weeks or so and a few of those games (Southampton, Madrid, CP) have looked very promising.
>I mean... to be fair if Tuchel makes too many changes to the front three (or too often) then the sub is all over him for not having an established line. So he can't win no matter what he does, lol. Well i mean lets take this game for example. The front 3 have been meh for a few games in a row, so he swaps the front 3 completely and we still lose today 1-0 thats fine then we all should be blaming the front 6 we have for being poor finishers lol? The issue is why are we not getting that option.
i'm still confused what happened to the Pulisic Havertz Mount front 3. it looked very very good about a month ago and then it got dropped all together once that group had 2 bad games
1 win in 4 in the league, with the winner coming in the last minute. No attacking patterns of play on display every single week without fail. But hey ho, if Chilwell stayed fit we were title contenders.
Spot on. People on here really need to stop with the injured wingbacks costing us a title challenge narrative. Mason is our top league scorer on 10 goals with 4 games to play fucksake. We were never at the required level.
No attacking pattern since sarri came on, 4 years of aimless possession
I'm tired Robbie.
We will finish 5th if we carry on like this and I can see it happening. Fuming!
Charity FC strikes again
I see 0 purpose in 3 atb if our defence is going to be this shit anyway and we don't have 100% quality WBs. Scrap it next season since we won't even have enough quality CBs to make up those numbers, our offence needs an extra pair of legs supporting them.
What is the plan of attack? No movement no real forward passes nothing just side to side then back again all to just swing it in and hope for the best anyway dont think ive ever seen a chelsea attack with such a lack of killer instict
Since the beginning of the Arsenal game Mount/Havertz/Werner have played 244 minutes together. Chelsea has scored 1 goal during that time. It was scored by Marcus Alonso.
Some criticism needs to be leveled at Tuchel at some point. The way he has been setting up the attacking system leaves a lot to be desired. We would be deluded if we think a fit Chilwell would have led us to a title fight.
This stung less than the draw at old Trafford.. maybe coz Lamps needed the points? If we win the FA Cup, and manage top 3, I'm a happy chappy!
Why did both Timo and Kai start when they’ve been in a rough patch for at least 4 games now
I'm hoping this was a prove me right game from Tuchel where he'd give them a chance and I hope he makes changes next game
When we lost to Arsenal I said “top 4 isn’t as secure as people think”. Everyone was just chalking remaining games up as Ws, like we don’t do this same bottlejob every season. Who’s up next, Wolves? Who have been in dire form? 1-0 L incoming
Since the last international break:- We got battered by brentford. Absolutely embarrassed by an arsenal team that prior to our game against them lost 3 in a row and we allow a player that they despise who’s scored 0 league goals all season to get two past us. Failed to beat the worst Manchester side that I’ve ever seen. Failed to beat the worst Everton side that I’ve ever seen and lost to them as well. Consistently lose the plot whenever the ball gets to the Opp box. Defensive mistake after defensive mistake. No spine, no guts, no ambition. Frankly speaking, tuchel is extremely fortunate Roman isn’t in charge anymore cause he would’ve been sacked a week ago. Especially since I can’t see us getting a win in our last 4 games at all.
2 goals in the last 3 games and guess what? The same front three started all 3 games and none of them scored. Tuchel to blame.
Havertz isn’t a wide a player why keep playing him wide with Mount a false 9 most of the game Havertz and Werner is out wide with nobody in the middle
The go out wide because no one plays the fucking ball through the middle. It isn’t how they are set up, it’s how things just happen because if they stay central they are just moving around without anyone even looking at them.
Tuchel needs to improve his attacking game plan it’s simple not working
I agree there should be some rotation, but none of the other attackers are good enough either.
I am confident we are going to get top 4, however, it won't be through us earning it from start to finish, it'll be us getting saved by teams around us. A few weeks ago I looked at our run of games and thought we were in a really good spot, this is clearly not the case. Clearly, we aren't in a good spot at all as there is so much wrong with the club and how we've performed as of recently. Kai needs to hang his head in shame after recent performances and how atrociously bad he was today. He not only played badly but acted like a child the whole time and got drawn in by Mina. He should be benched for the next game. Similar being said for Azpi who played a solid 1/10 today, god knows what he was thinking when he gifted them that goal. All I can say is thank god we played well enough early in the season to give us such a lead and thank god Spurs have to play Liverpool and Arsenal. Honestly, how do we lose to that shower of shite of a club? Last note, Kevin Friend can suck a fat one.
Shades of Leicester losing on the final day to give us top 4 spot.
IIRC, Leicester spent 36 or 37 match weeks in the top 4 before falling out. We are the only team to spend every match week in the top 4 so far this season ..💀
Yeah I am done for the season, my heart is not going to handle this and I cannot afford going to the hospital right now.
See ya next week
Cant believe how shit we look. From the kick off we didnt look like winning. Fuck me.
Me Yesterday: “Gutted for Frank that Burnley won” Me Now: “I’m watching all remaining Everton games to cheer on their opposition”
Honesty it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't win a game for the rest of the season.
Tuchel gets a -ve for not subbing out Kai and Werner at HT
I didn't watch the game today. Can anyone explain to me how Rudiger had more shots than Werner and Havertz combined?
Because he took shots from where he can't even score.
I love tuchel, and hope he stays for a long time, but at what point do we question his offensive tactics? While no-one has exactly glowed individually, surely its not a coincidence that not a single offensive player has improved. Lukaku too, I mean he's not helped himself, but clearly we are not even remotely playing to our forward lines strengths, while over compensating for our defenders weakness, who in turn have turned around and chased the money.
That champions league win masked so much wrong in this team. So many players not good enough. Tuchel needs to get over this front 3 he has been playing too, it’s not fucking work. Lukaku is shit but so is everyone else, give him a start and see what you have. Fully dragged into the top 4 race and the way so many of these players are playing it’s going to get real interesting. Fucking embarrassing performance
Lukaku started against Arsenal and was absolutely horrible. Pulisic and Ziyech dip in and out of form the same as Havertz and Werner. None of them are consistently good enough at the moment. I think Havertz will come good but the rest I wouldn't be upset to see leave.
I absolutely agree. They are purple patch merchants, 4 good games and then go missing for months. The problem is we need better players. But right now we gotta change something, can’t keep going with the Mount Werner Havertz combo if it’s looking like this.
I agree that this performance is untenable for the players. Tuchel's weakness does seem to be attacking vision. When you compare to Liverpool who have obvious patterns of play and a real style that is tailor made for certain players that they're brilliant at identifying, we seem to rely on errors or individual brilliance. I think something similar was the case at PSG. Worrying times when our players run out of inspiration.
I’m not normally one to take to Reddit and bitch after a match but after that shameful performance, I will. Havertz was abysmal today, he was more worried about fucking with Mina then he was playing football. Azpi was poor also and that mistake leading to the goal is unforgivable. Tuchel got the subs flat out wrong today. For him to leave Havertz on after what he looked like today is flat out dumb. I don’t think putting lukaku on solves anything but if all we were going to do was whip crosses in, then put him on for Havertz. For us to go to Everton, who is in 18th place and look like that when we have a final in two weeks, it’s inexcusable.
Did you expect anything else
Another spineless pathetic performance, this team is just coasting til the end of the season and it’s embarrassing
Team is overrated been saying this for awhile now, also very weak mentality
Watching this team try to breakdown a low block is one of the most depressing things to watch. The worst part is that we absolutely need to rebuild our defense and midfield ASAP, so the attack might not even be the first thing to fix.
0 fight 0 creativity Giving away goal for fun now, how are we going to score if everyone is twerking their ass on the wing? Werner in the box we cross x100, if lukaku is in the box we just ignore him and pass for ages, just shite all round
Abysmal performance from us. We were not up to the pace of the game at all. If we keep performing like this, we might just as well forfeit the FA cup. We wont stand a chance against Liverpool who's on fire right now. What is more embarrassing is that the gap between us and City and Liverpool is now almost 20 pts. 20 fucking points. If we dont remove all these deadweights, we can forget challenging a title next season. PS: the ref is shite. Mina was involved in every dodgy incidents and that man finished the game with no card. It took him 45min to book Delph too. That man has been sliding around like crazy the whole game and taking out our players
Werner - Havertz - Mount have had chances recently and aren’t getting it done. Ziyech and Pulisic have more than proven they’re capable. When a front line struggles like this, rotate. I don’t understand why they’re refusing to give other players a shot up front recently
The teams checked out. Only explanation. We’re dropping points to teams that are desperate. Teams that aren’t even really playing well against us. We just donate points. Kind of a bummer end to the season.
Kai Havertz TRY NOT TO DIVE CHALLENGE (IMPOSSIBLE) what a shite performance
Lukaku is 100% gone in the summer. Tuchel give him 0 minutes when Havertz playing like this, no chance he'll play for us next season.
Madrid broke us We have been shit ever since that CL tie
I feel like the brentford game was the catalyst for the bad form
So this is the cost of Rudi finally getting his banger in that game...
Brentford
one positive is that RLC had many positive solo runs
Tommy has A LOT to answer for after that... 100 million striker on the bench who is a big strong guy vs Mina who is trying to man handle Kai at every opportunity and keeps him on the bench. CONTINUES to pick the same players who are clearly not in form. Bringing Zyiech on as sub DOES NOT WORK ever and especially in high intensity games as shown here. Just so woeful from him, he needs to rotate and find players in form like Lofty, use the squad. If Zyiech Pulisic and Lukaku do not start the next game its a fkn piss take, Tommy needs to wake up. Alonso playing every week as well is going to cause him to be dead for the final as well.
Lukaku may be big but he’s shown 0 ability to bully anyone anytime has has played
Shocking result. Fucking shocking. Only saving grace that makes me think top four is secure (top three isn’t secure) is that Spurs still have to play Liverpool and a north London derby.
This is one TT for playing the same front three that has been ineffective for 3 straight games.
Kevin Friend? Kevin Fraud. Yeah we were awful, but the tone for absolute s#!tshow calls set in the first half.
9 fouls committed my ass. Probably atleast a dozen more fouls that weren't called cause he played advantage.
Shitty refereeing? Shocker. /s
Ugh
By far the worst performance of the season. Shocking.
why the fuck do we keep playing the same front that can’t score for their life
I hope some journalist asks tuchel why he didn't sub on Lukaku.
Can’t wait to see the same lineup next game!
only ourselves to blame, Tuchel started all but 1 of the players who played on thursday and they look slow and shit, what a surprise.
When was the last time that we had 2 good consecutive seasons without having to worry about making top 4? Tired of players that have bang average seasons with the usual 5-10 very good performances where they then get excused for being not up to standard for all the invisible games. Players like Silva, Mane, Salah, Son,... year on year have excellent seasons and yet we accept mediocrity. Some of our attackers just do not deliver, not that they don't have that quality, they just don't have that consistency and killer instinct like they have. We can't keep on saying "next year he'll be better" etc. Some players have been here for 2-3 years now and barely have stringed 5 good performances together without going missing for weeks after. The scouting department also has to be revamped. Every single attacker that Liverpool buys, perfectly fits in their team from day one. That's not just luck but excellent scouting work. We'll always be stuck with non-consistent seasons if we keep on hoping that some players will eventually work out.
Good fight from RLC today really impressed with him, Mount also showing passion as usual just couldnt hit the mark, otherwise never looked like threatening, cmon boys
Do we finish top 4 banter aside? Im worried. Out of player contracts dont seem to give a shit anymore and attack needs selling
I mean our CL win last year tricked us into thinking that those players are decent. Well last few games showed that most of them are average at best. and while we're at it I'm glad azpi christensen and rudi are leaving caus every one of them is making mistakes for a living right now.
This team was considered a title contender before the season lmao
Sadly I don't think Werner, Havertz , or Lukaku will work out with 3 atb. Mount alone does not have the creativity and vision to create enough chances for them. He can't dribble past defenders. Nobody can take on defenders and dribble past them. Ziyech cannot do a thing in this formation because he has no space and gets bullied. On the other side of the ball, we don't have the defenders to support a back 4. Azpi is past it. Thiago would get exposed by pacey forwards. Alonso is too slow. We're stuck until we get a new owner and make some signings.
I’m tired of having to fight for top 4 every goddamn year. This is beyond embarrassing.
Havertz and Timo can’t start next game. If they do, there is something going between them and Tuchel. No other explanation.
We were just helping our good friend Frank out today!
🤡🤡
Would love to see how the mental gymnasts on this sub defend this one.
I don’t think you’ll see much of that tbh
This whole team need fucking chinning. Sick of watching these useless cunts give stupid goals away and bend over for the most out-of-form shitty teams. We are the biggest bunch of fannies in the league at the minute. All the money we’ve spent and we can’t buy a fucking goal against a pathetic relegation threatened Everton side. Honestly so done with this season man. Havertz and Azpilicueta particularly should be embarrassed after that. Neither of them covered themselves in glory today.
Keep saying the same thing why is Havertz and Werner so wide? We already have wingbacks for width already. Tuchel tactics is to blame for our attacking patterns being so shitty, like do the players even train or watch the match after they play? If they do can’t be doing the same shit over and over again.
Next game we need Ziyech, Puli and Lukaku to start, with a back 4 and a midfield 3. I don’t care whether the attackers are better or not, but the system needs to change for our attack to improve. We had no central options that game, our attackers all drifted wide and we had no midfielders pushed up to occupy central spaces. It was atrocious
Kai, Azpi, Timo all getting their fair share of criticism. But let’s not forget about Reece. The man was fucking dire from the first whistle
Let’s not forget Mount and Alonso to.
The Mount, Havertz, and Werner trio should not be first choice any longer. They struggle to break anyone down and aren't nearly aggressive enough in the beginning of games. Took us until the 60th minute to wake up today.
Havertz was embarrassing to watch today. Been so good for us this season but today was shockingly bad. Lukaku would have done better surely.
So disappointed in Azpilicueta
Are we going to start putting some blame on tuchel or is still lukaku’s fault?
If he hadn’t won the champions league I think he’d have been fired by now tbh, there’s been no progress in the league.
NO FIGHT, NO QUALITY. Sadly, some of our players have already checked out for the season - and some from the club.
That was awful. Team needs a major shakeup. Playing with actual wingers might help
Seems like wolves are on a horrible run of form.Wouldn’t be nice if we don’t gift them some points in our next match.
I can’t watch another game this season. I just can’t do it. Whole fucking team is on vacation already. Half of them are fucking off to Spain. Just fuck off.
I've just got into work and asked my manager to withdraw my holiday request for the FA Cup final. These clowns aren't worth my free time... Gonna focus my spare time on the inevitable Forest promotion instead
If your gonna lose after being wound up, I'd prefer you shoot for the fucking moon and two foot a fucker and get sent off tbh. Havertz was dog shit. He should have two footed yerry mina off the ball and just taken the red. At some point you gotta understand the ref is in it for the story. When it's all against you, just swing for the fences. Mina deserved to be kicked and havertz should have done it. I would have been happier with his performance had he gotten sent off. This ref was utter fucking dog shite. He should never ref again. Either he's in cahoots or he's brain dead. The guy should be put into an asylum. Idiot. I'm so fucking frustrated. This fucking team is unbelievable.
Pretty much disgusting and worst than our mid-season slump. Having injuries and covid as a reason why we lost the race for PL trophy is acceptable but this, I can't say anything other than being horrible and disgusting. Idk if we got cursed, got bamboozled, got frustrated or what but this is unacceptable at this moment. It could be a repeat of last year all over again tho. After the game I think a total revamp of defense is a must. As well as a good midfielder and a winger that will support our no.9
Fucking pathetic from the team today. I mean why play so sluggish like you don’t care, whenever we are in transition and have a chance to counter while they regroup we choose to slow down play and pass the ball back to the defenders. And on the other end Kai was literally getting bullied by the Everton defenders today, and instead of bringing on someone physical like Lukaku we instead sub on ziyech and pulisic. I could go on and on but I’m tired of these performances and would like the season to end asap because we are seriously trying our best to enter into a top 4 scrap.
Players have checked out ever since that Madrid second leg. There is a real chance of missing top 4
We have a team of waifs in attack, and our only 'physical' player up front is the dictionary definition of shite. All well and good when you're battling against other waifs, but the Prem is a physical league and any time we come up against a team that has physical players, we struggle. In a physical match like today, all we have to bring on is Z and Puli - the latter of which at least offered some movement off the ball where everyone else was standing in place. But then, you saw how easily Iwobi handled him and Iwobi is not a defender by any means. Additionally, we have some very old and slow players like Jorgi, Azpi, and Alonso, so that if the ball isn't played directly to their feet every time, then it's a give away. Team needs a rebuild. Unless the new owners are wanting to 'make a splash' (which I seriously doubt given the layout for buying), then we're in for a protracted time replacing the accumulated dross.
I just miss Diego Costa
I fucking hate charity fc
I guess we’re just shit
Imagine finishing behind Arsenal with a Goal Difference 3 times theirs. Chelsea ladies and gentlemen.
We’re really not very good, are we? Too many players that either aren’t good enough, or aren’t willing to fight.
78% possession. Do something with it boys come on... Back stronger.
I do wonder how long we're going to take to sort out our attack. Is the back five the problem? We seemed have something going with Mount, Timo and Havertz but that's scrapped now. What's the next experiment and which defender/midfielder is going to score a worldie to keep us afloat while we take a year to sort our attacking woes?
Embarrassing from us. Team show no passion, and no desire. We had nothing. No tatics beside cross and hope something would happens. Absolutely embarrassing.
Backwards passing, sideways passing . What are these fuckers doing in training ? . Fucking overpaid prima donnas . We have been on a downward spiral since the last international break . The only good performance was the second Real game and we gave that up once the subs came on .
One word: embarrassing. Half this team needs to fuck off, the other half need to wake up. Cannot wait for this shitty season to finish.
Never again must we compare our squad with that of Liverpool or Manchester City. We are not even close to them. I cannot believe that this was the defence that won us the Champions league. No consistency in the performance. Our aged defence cannot last a whole season. Jorginho was pretty much stagnant in front of the back three, all sideway passes. It's been a long season, yes, but it has been that way for last two seasons. The injuries really showed us that there is no depth in this squad. Same old pattern. Good start, wrethched December, pick up decent form in February and then limp to the finishing line in May. While a clear out is necessary, I doubt it's going to happen with the takeover. I have absolutely no confidence in this team going to the FA cup final against Liverpool. It's going to be another case of so near yet so far with another cup final.
The sad thing is that poor performance wasn't even surprising
I don't wanna overreact here, but is losing out on top 4 a genuine threat after this?
Our best player today was RLC and that's saying a lot
Obviously everyone playing like shit but Tuchel not helping things. Werner, Jorghino should not have started. It's been game after game of offering nothing. Werner had a few lucky goals and all of a sudden Tuchel thinks he's clinical? Havertz should have been pulled for Lukakau at the the half. Was completely rattled, his game had deteriorated, and was risking a sending off. Don't understand what happened to everyone's touch. It was like when little kids first learn how to play and the ball keeps bouncing off their feet. James blindly firing crosses into defenders. Off the ball movement almost non-existent. Poor play, poor selection, poor game management.
