And then he returns Mason Greenwood back to the squad.
Chelsea started to decline the day that people started singing 'We hate Tottenham' during the liquidator. The football fan equivalent of children being given their chocolate first and not made to eat vegetables.
Four centre backs again when there’s fit full backs on the bench.
Gordon v Disasi could be fun.
Caicedo :D
Lucky he wasn’t sent off. Chances are he’ll get another yellow later on mind
Gallagher as your deepest midfielder is just asking for trouble when playing out for the back.
We don't have any midfielders on the bench, so I imagine we'll have to ride him out for 90, or throw on in his place some much needed forward company for Lee Harvey Oswald.
When you’ve got the worlds most gifted midfielder already, does it really matter who’s around him?
Jesus Christ. That was like something from women's division three.
Disasi playing on the right wing. :happycry:
With Colwill at left back to offset it. An utter mess. Just sitting ducks for Newcastle to pop off on the break.Quote:

The fun continues in Turkey. Istanbulspor were playing Trabzonspor and the former were denied an apparent clear penalty. The latter then went up the other end and scored to lead 2-1. The president of Istanbulspor has come down onto the pitch and ordered his team off in protest.
We're very disheartening to watch as a fan. The capability and tee-to-green method is there, they are just so green it's not even worth expecting them to be mentally strong enough to get on the right end of games. That's where Taz's XG discrepancy comes from, a massive lack of composure which comes from experience. We've been far better than Newcastle and yet it's been very easy for Newcastle.
This is deliberate from the ownership of course so as a fan we just have to lump it. Three or four years away.
He’s actively ruining Colwill by forcing him to play out of position (he’s been doing it all season, even when Chilwell was fit). Getting worse every single game.
Liverpool should bid for him in January.
Or Brighton.
Needs to cut his losses.
Chelsea are living proof that xG is complete bullshit. They’ll never revert to the mean (what was it, 6th?) anytime soon.
‘Won’ the joint most games on XG too. What a stat
Fwiw I don't use xG but the model I use to beat Tajik Women's U16 3rd Division football also suggests Chelsea will kick on in a big way in the 2nd half of the season.
What did the model say for the first 17 games of the season? That they were going to be wank?
Oh my days. He’s brought a right back on at next back rather than bringing a fucking left back on. Fuck me sideways
Not watching but did the most gifted footballer in history get injured or was he just subbed off after half an hour for everyone's benefit?
It said they would be good. Variance, injuries blah blah blah I don't actually watch football. Their rating has remained fairly static while Man Utd, Newcastle and Brighton's have all dropped a fair bit.Quote:

There goes the great marksman again. Bullseye!
Nkunku time and the shutting up of a lot of xG deniers.
How many times has Raheem Sterling been booked for simulation in his career? Feels like a lot of times.
Definitely a lot. Horrible little cuntQuote:

You’re catching on
Leaves a bad taste in the mouth that.
What we've basically done is misinvest in a lot of physical attributes and they all have zero upstairs. This lot couldn't get a football GCSE between them, let alone an actual one.
Trippier again? Someone pension him off. We didn't deserve that.
What’s with trippier and giving away goals recently
Could do with scoring another because this has Gallagher and Broja missing penalties all over it
We could have done with extra time there.
The commentator blind? Maatsen just got booted into next week.
I heard he was the best right back in England.Quote:

Gallagher and Broja are simply not at the required level. Same can probably said of the 18 BLM defenders they brought in. Definitely needs another round of wholesale changes in Jan or summer.
With Everton out, if Newcastle go out, winner of tomorrow has a trophy to their name.
5 quality penalties. At least he’s got that sorted.
lol. Back on the M1 with you eh. Or maybe on the midday train so you can see the sights in the morning. Madam Tussaud's is good.
Southgate will be straight on the blower to Tripps.
Eurgh.
That said, the players have some brass neck doing a lap of honour for that shit.
Enzo looks like he's had a death in the family or something.
Are the semis for this still two legs or has that been done away with?
Still two legs. Hopefully we play Fulham to save our carbon footprint, and to ensure we lose and don't have to get done by Liverpool in yet another final.
At least if it goes to penalties this time Kepa isn’t in the goal making it look bigger.
Hopefully a Moysie masterclass with Liverpool resting players for Saturday.
Given the state of the other 3 teams left in it, I think Klopps team selection will change. I don't think any of them would beat us over two legs.
The path is clear for Liverpool. Hopefully we don't draw them because it'll be an absolute bumming.
