Rogers what a player, meanwhile Watkins is terrible

Can we beat teams like Villa like this, Omo

Kilishihunter:
This Portugal group tough sha but they should still top

I feel Colombia are stronger

The three presidents doing the draws themselves, Infantino cooking

StarchAndBanga:
Still of the opinion that if Lavia and Fofana are unable to play 15 to 20 league games this season they should be chased out of the Club..

It’s almost like minutes managing and preserving players is the new trophy at this club, yesterday when we got 1 we could see Leeds still attacking why not bring in James to solidify that back as he’s more comfortable receiving the ball from the back and progressing and a threat at set pieces, or is Maresca telling me James can’t play 30mins after resting for three full days? What’s the use of your quality if you cant actually be on the pitch

Buonanotte is better than what ever JP is at that 10, it’s almost like if you weren’t bought for a big fee you have no chance here except of course Madam Tosin

drisham:
Someone finally gets it

Idk how you'll sir and decide to generalize it on the defense


Last time the animal started was qarabag
And we conceeded 2 goals

Think he started the sunderland game as well

drisham:
Lmao
If tosin was in the defense against you guys

You people would have won comfortably

That's how terrible he is

He weakens the mentality of the team

Without his error we would likely have equalized, he literally blew the final whistle with that mistake, anytime I get the Chelsea lineup on the Chelsea app it’s always Maresca makes 4,5,6 changes and I keep wondering why, next game you’d see Maresca makes 6 changes to the starting lineup

Emaprince:
Just as he was losing against brentford, until second half when he brought in palmer and Caicedo them, we were able to turn the tie around but ended up drawing.

Starting with a strong squad would haave had us out of sight.

Even the small teams we won, it was struggles. Nothing showed we were a big team in any of those matches.

Only time Maresca steps up is against a top team.

A dissapointing coach.

It’s players like Cucu and James I feel for, all that performance the other day have been literally thrown away, 1 point out of 6, would have been better to even lose that and win this as that’ll be 3/6…..Maresca is using us to build his CV, he’s a conman

Emaprince:
Soon, even the ones defending Maresca here will understand this obvious pattern of playing well against big teams and serving crap against small teams.

Winning against big teams gives more credit in the bank for a manager and he knows that, title contenders for three days cause we’re not beating Bournemouth at that their tiny stadium

rooftops:
Just tuned in. This man is a mad man. Na when your superiors are not putting any pressure on you that's why you will have the mind to play such line up.

Why not start your main 11 then take them out when the game is almost done?
Is that too much to ask this mad man?

No it’s better to start with the weak team and when you’re losing send in the Calvary to save the day, never seen this style before

Garnacho should own the left wing, no more tweaking only if Maresca learns

Guiu looks better than both Delap and JP, watch him not make the squad next gameweek

Unlimited22:
The guy has made everyone around him look horrible every time he's played. Only God knows why he's still seeing games.

Wonder why none of his teammate has swung at him yet

Absolutely got demolished by Leeds, they’ve outplayed us in every ramifications

Watch of lose to Bournemouth next and end their losing streak

Unlimited22:
Them go still play am again 😂

No be here we dey, everybody must play

Tosinnnnn

Entering that zone where we pray for a draw, bring in James for Santos to close that back while we attack vigorously

raumdeuter:
Make he bring on Reece James oh

Thank you, we might score but we’re very porous

See defense with so called tall men

Netoo

Gittens still back on the pitch, Maresca na cruise master

nateevs:
No. We don't know Gittens is shit. Fans like Swi123 will tell you Garnacho should not start in front of Gittens.

We don't know why Palmer has not started. It might be a medical advice.

The most experienced of this lot just gave the ball away for the second goal. Nothing to do with Tosin.

In terms of structure, when we attack, Cucu is inverting and we fall into a 3ATB. There's no RB, and so height is necessary. No better than the three we have there. You will not have Gusto in a back 3. It's simple tactics.

The only person having a stinker is Delap.


Because we are having a bad game doesn't mean it's because Maresca has done something wrong. You cannot play your first 11 into the ground. If you do, you will end up out of the top four.

Now you’re talking, we have very different goals and expectations for the team, sorry chief

Emaprince:
When Maresca dey treat league games like say na carabao.

He’s here to try and play everyone so the club can make money on players, everybody must play

nateevs:
You tell me what you are saying then. Are you saying we are two down because we played Tosin?

Do you know what you are saying?

I am yet to see what Tosin did wrong now. You all just attribute everything bad to Tosin playing. Enzo lost the ball in a Criccieth area that led to the second goal, not Tosin.

What has Maresca done wrong here? Rest a player for Tosin?

All of a sudden you don’t know what’s called team structure again, it’s either individual mistakes or nothing, poor players would make up a poor team structure, we got Tosin on a free why are we trying to still play him when we know what he brings to the team.

And at the bolded, there’s a world where Chalobah who had an excellent game the other day starts at CB alongside a natural LCB in Badi, Santos, Enzo and Palmer in the middle and Estevao, Garnacho and Delap/Pedro up top, as a coach you should know which players are good for the team and give them a good run of games, we know shittens is shit at the moment why not give the better player in Garnacho a run of games or he’ needs rotation as well?

BikeMan:
The disinterest in this game is crazy. It will really take a lot for us to compete for the PL.

Because the team gets chop and changed every game, and that’s solely on the coach

nateevs:
Are you suggesting the lack of Gusto is why we are not taking the game to them?

You suggested why we’ve used tall players and we’re 2-0 down at half time, so you definitely don’t know what you’re saying

There you have it

BikeMan:
We are not playing City, are we?

If Tosin can’t handle Leeds, then it’s on him. Arsenal rotated their team today too, they will still win. You want to play the same set of players all through December? It’s that not black magic?

Thought all games were three points maximum, why not win the one you’re sure of rather than hoping on the one that’s not likely

Why not just pull your foot and win a PK

nateevs:
Chalobah

Look at the height and physical build of those Leeds players. If James, Fofana and Caicedo are not playing, you need as many tall players in there, so we don't lose the 50/50s.

Well they scored via a header and got another free header all in less than thirty minutes, we’re playing Leeds not PSG we should be taking the game to them not thinking what they’ll do to us
