AvonVillain Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Surely we'll see much earlier subs than usual. Keep it to 1 - 0 and we stand an excellent chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Chelsea have immense squad depth to easily rotate, I think we lack a little sharpness. But there's enough in this still, I feel. I hope the break has given time to properly check on Cash. Still disgusted Pulisic got away it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Just before they scored, I am seeing Giroud is too good for our center halves. I would rather Abraham had played. We started brightly, but after Cash got the kick we have looked very lethargic. Traore didn't track for the goal, but it was very nicely taken. I think Elmo 0r Freddie should come on for Traore, it could be even done at halftime. Watkins could do with some help, he looks the most tired of them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't track Chillwell for the goal but that was the exception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rodders Posted December 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2020 oh and that was not offside, and certainly shouldn't be given offside. If we'd score a goal and had it ruled out for that "offside" I'd be livid. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our squad depth can't compete with the top sides. Exactly my point in the title chase thread, our squad isn’t strong enough for a European place at the moment and that impacts the first XI when they have to play every game especially 48 hours later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Think Nakamba needs to come on for Traore and we need to switch to a flat 3 midfield with Jack on the left and Anwar on the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted December 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2020 Gotta not drop our heads here. These guys can be hurt. Their defence and GK are beatable. Hopefully we can find some energy second half. I know we all like a distraction over Xmas, but two games in two days is crazy. Only benefits the top teams.

Yup - the only player on the bench who might score is Connor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the better team up until this very point? Strange.... Still 45 mins to go, I still think we will get something out of this game.

Yep - I think I'd go with Nakamba - we're outnumbered in the middle with Jack playing so high and it's allowing them to get overloads out wide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Get Jack out on the left. Azpi has a yellow. Get him in the game more and running at him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re playing against a higher calibre opposition this evening, far superior to Palace or West Brom. I think we perhaps need to get Grealish out on the left up against Azpilicueta, try and draw some Chelsea players away from the middle. Bring Traore infield and try ElGhazi on the right against Chilwell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
