Sheaf Saint

I think his performance tonight has answered your question. I thought he was excellent against the European champions and current PL leaders. A big improvement on his showing against Sheff Utd, which wasn't anywhere near as bad as some people made out.

Tino is only 18. If he had taken one and missed you would have no doubt been howling that he should never have been allowed to take one.

No, but he dared to show a bit of emotion earlier on so he's automatically on Ducky's shit list whatever happens.

Why doesn't Mount get a yellow for that reaction?

Long offside. you ever get the feeling of déjà vu?

So close from Smallbone!

Think we can say it's a given that Stu wouldn't last 90 mins.

At the risk of repeating myself, what other options did he have?

Che and Tella were spent and needed to come off. What other options did he have?

Yeah, this. Friend never going to give a pen for that though.

And this is the difference. We bring on Long and Walcott, Chelsea bring on Mount and Chilwell. Che and Tella obviously couldn't continue and we don't have any other options because Broja can't play.

Actually, I'd say our best in the air is the player who couldn't play against his parent club tonight.

Cracking game. Don't really care what happens from here because I expected us to get beaten when I saw the strong team Chelsea had put out. It's been great entertainment and we've had a proper go at them.

For all our good play, we must stop conceding free headers from corners.

Oof. That was a poor tackle from Che. Never going to win the ball with that.

That was glorious from Stu, and close from Arma!

And laughed about it.

That's the point of Che 😉

He literally had his hand on KWP's shoulder holding him down and preventing him from jumping FFS.

He's just come back from injury and he's up against a defence that hasn't conceded a single goal from open play this season. I'm not expecting miracles TBF.

Uh oh. That's not going to go down well with Ducky 🤣

How is that not a back pass then?

Doing more than alright. Giving them a proper game so far. Tactically, I think Ralph has got this spot on. Maybe that's why it's so quiet on here tonight - the anti-Ralph posters don't have anything to complain about.

Valery just tried to walk the ball past two defenders.

Unusually quiet on here tonight. Where is everyone?
