Front 3 not having a very good time so far it has to be said. Watkins looks out of sorts and the other two need to get in the game.

Agreed, it’s the Watkins-Ings combo which doesn’t work for me. One of those two up the middle with Buendia & Carney supporting.

Excellent:
Tactics, Mings, Konsa, Targett, Sanson, Luiz

Good:
Cash (would be excellent if he had a brain), Ramsey

Ok:
Ings, Watkins, Martinez (more he hasn't had anything to do)

Very Poor:
Buendia

Tend to agree, although I’d leave Buendia on and take Ings off. Think we need Watkins through the middle.

Bit gutted I sold my ticket now even though I couldn't make it. Gerrard out!! Better without him. lol. 

Passing and movement has been superb. Luiz running the show although to a man they look quality. 

I think this team is levelling up, moving up a gear....I like it, we look great. Another 45 like that please!

A 20 minute Bertie cameo against his former club incoming.

He’ll fall over the ball a couple of times, play stray passes continuously but then dribble past two players and smash it in the goal from 25 yards to get us the winner! That’s our boy 😁

They are really poor but the full backs look threatening. Silva is a very classy player. Cash needs to stop doing that silly slide in the box.

Top players make better decisions, we are improving for sure but there is still a way to go

Apart from cash having a total brain fart, and I really mean a total switch off of his brain, going for a challenge on the wrong side when the player is already in front of you in the penalty area,is always and I really mean always , going to be a penalty. 

Apart from that, and some poor final balls, we have been aggressive, quick and pretty decent when we have the ball.

Expected a few shots from ings which he instead tried passing ? Hyper critical I know but we need to take the shots when they are there.

Decent half.

Watkins is winning every ball that's played to him, Ramsey is tucked right in behind him and it's causing Chelsea , Reece-James , issues . Ings and Ollie interplay isn't quite there yet, we have carved Chelsea open a few times and just fell short with the final pass or some great blocks from em. 

We're are playing well against a good team, defense has been good apart from us going to ground in tackles , both Target and Cash have been guilty of it , Cash paying the price.
