I don't understand how Emery can watch Chelsea play these through balls behind us and not correct it. I just don't get it.

Schooled. Lots of skill but no leadership or steel. Work in progress I guess.

Could be 0-7 this.

The MIngs / Konsa partnership was the bedrock for us last season. Pau is worrying me, poor decision making and very worryingly defensively. I want my defenders to be good at defending. The slack ball press with a high line - have we not learned?

Are the retro kits on sale in the club shop up to speed regarding comfort/materials?

Is Yorke sporting the Pro Shirt?

We have some excellent kits from the 90s (e.g. 1990 away). A lot of the versions created by fans on this site are great. I don't understand how the club can end up with designs like this. I want to buy a kit (from the Emery era) but my nervous system blocks me from actually clicking the 'Shop' button.

Because he's so incredibly relaxed in posture and attitude he can take the speed out of a pass and carry the ball with an elegance that reminds me of Grealish or even better. He just lacks a bit aggression and determination both offensively and defensively to really cash in on his talent.

Ollie !

Pretty poor last 10 minutes.

Why why why kick the ball away. Where is the cost-benefit analysis Digne?

My first reaction is that I hate football. I hate the ridiculous tribalism, the theatrics and schadenfreude. I hate how you put your own well-being into something you have zero control over. It's completely irrational. It's all put on it's head when we win of course. Then I bask in it. Newcastle were pumped up with lots of confidence and a great crowd. They got something brewing there, and you could see the synergy when fans get into it. We can do that too. But we panicked. We didn't trust our game when it din't click at once, at they smelled blood. We're good at slowing things down and controlling play with a slow tempo then shifting gears. When we couldn't slow it down we looked lost and out of ideas. Not terrible, just not ourselves. However, the second half was just a complete horror show. If we play the high line with that kind of limp attitude we will be dismantled by every team in this league. They tried to physically do it, but the heads were gone. Pushing rope. Credit to Newcastle here, they were on it. We will be better but I think we need to adjust our expectations a little in the short term. The injuries will cost us points, Mings is the kind of figure that increases confidence all around the team. He eats up attacks and the rest of the team can trust their instincts more. The high line need to be rethought and reengineered. Off to the beers.

Is there another sport you can recommend?

Haha Tonali. Football players are such spineless little opportunists.

Close, well done Watkins
