I only listened to the radio, so can’t really comment on performances.

 

But from just reading this match thread  and some comments you would we lost comfortably.

eh? We bossed the first half and Chelsea controlled the second but barely threatened. 

[Ayatollah Hermione 13775]

Much better tonight and will probably post more in the morning. First game of the season there tonight and it struck me how those Chelsea players just gave up when it became apparent that Palmer wasn’t coming to save them  Special shoutout to Cucurella for trying to wind our lads up whilst losing 2-0. And that silly cunt won the Euros in the Summer for Christ sake

Just got up, totally missed this- we won?????

 

I assume Cauty and Drummond will retain their strike partnership in the QF?

Brentford at home is a surprising good draw for us

WHAT FUCKING SIDE WAS IT ON?? 🤣

Some decent performances and looking promising but man of the match has to go to @Howmanheyman aka ciaomanheyman for stepping up this evening.

 

 

 

And you're all welcome. (it was never in doubt).

Cracking draw that. Home as well we should be really up for it. Hopefully Arsenal and Liverpool manage to slip up somehow

As long as we turn up. I sometimes worry we've become one of those teams that turns up for the big six/eleven, depending on where Man U are in the table, and think we are above the games against the dross.

Nice to wake up to that draw. Why they can't do it quicker is mad.

What a grade A cunt this bloke is.  Complaining about the noise around ISak.

 

Errr Craig, that noise is coming from you

[Holden McGroin 6479]

Much improved first half and although the second was dreadful I could at least see the plan.

 

I can see Howe going with Joe and Joe on the left again v Arsenal.  Barnes must be hacked off with his game time this season.  I think Howe doesn’t like his pressing (or lack of) so he’ll be a sub most of the time.

 

At least it gives us a bit of hope going into Saturday. Hopefully the crowd are rocking for the Spanish Tit turning up.

he makes a couple of good points. Tonali as the central pivot had one of his best games for us. Could be the way to move Bruno further up the pitch.

 

Lloyd Kelly at LCB for Burn would help with the lack of pace in that department too.

The big Joe/little Joe axis on our left with Tonali CDM and a Bruno a little further forward with Isak up front and Gordon on the right could be the way to set up against Arsenal. 
 

Barnes is a great finisher but looks more effective off the bench against tired legs. He doesn’t put the work in off the ball that a lot of our forwards get through and games often seem to pass him by when he starts

 To be honest given he's already here having Barnes on the bench is a good thing. Having a strong 11 isn't enough in this league, you need someone who can come on and change things and Barnes has shown he can do that numerous times.

 

We still need to convert one of our predominantly left sided midfield/forward players into a right sided one. Maybe it's worth a shot trying to do it with Willock? He's been off the boil and or injured for a long time but he has the energy and pressing to be super effective for 60-70 minutes not just in attack but also contributing defensively.
