FA Cup: Chelsea (A) Match-Thread

[Bozman]

No Vardy no win, Daka up front may as well play with 10 men like a kid in mens football

 

[foxes_rule1978]

Had we got Vardy we would be at least level 

[Pita]

This is just not a premiership team struggling to do the basics right

[Blue ROI]

Would prefer this to happen today than during the 2021 final.

[egg_fried_rice]

Patson really poor. Too often on his heels.

[RoboFox]

I’m actually bored. It’s boring.

Cole Palmer needs to **** off back to Waterloo Road

He's Plug from the Bash Street Kids. He can't help it. 

[Number 6]

General play is ok but it's not translating into taken chances, and it's giving up too many good ones at the back. Our defence is nowhere near this level.

both goals have come from his side tbf

He's playing inverted.... 

[tom27111]

Take Daka off and stick another defender on.

 

Try and keep it at 2.

 

Daka might as well not even be on the pitch anyway.

Faes vestergard Doyle getting shown up for being the snail 🐌 paced defenders they are

As well as faes and vestergaard have done this season they are just too slow... need a bit more pace!

Or tbf just better positioning, if ur in the right place u dnt need pace

[FoxesWalk]

we’re getting rinsed on the counter but at least we came and tried to play, didn’t park the bus 

[HankMarvin]

Just now, Langston said:

We are going to get killed next year if we go into it with Faes and Vestergaard as starting CBs 

Go and read the Vestegaard thread we will be fine, (after the Bournemouth win) back to reality. 

[Stinkenzo]

Those consigning ourselves to relegation next season because we're losing to a team who are man for man better than us are ****ing hilarious 

[Guest Col city fan]

Tactically incredibly naive against a quick side. SO wide open…

[TMELcfc]

Piss poor defensively. All over the pitch. No aggression, massive gaps everywhere. I don’t like this team, haven’t for years - Weak 

[phoneticerror]

Ndidi is really poor

[KingsX]

I'm not normally very pessimistic, but I would take KDH and Winks off at HT and rest them.

 

I'd put Ndidi back in bubble wrap.  He hasn't come close to playing 90' since back from injury, let him rest.

[Tielemans63]

Well, it was nice while it lasted. At least we can focus on ****ing up promotion now

 

[Kasey Keller]

Shite

[StevieH]

Too slow at the back. Not enough quality in final third both at the front and back

[coolhandfox]

Our shape and structure is all over the place.

 

Same issue we have had for weeks, can't win games conceding 2 goals a game.

 

Attacking play is fine until we get to the box.

 

Playing like Burnley in the PL.

 

Can't be this open.

Liked it better, when we could give these guys a game. We are too easy to play through at this level and pretty toothless on the offensive. 

[Number 6]

Think KDH has been really good down the left though and Ndidi looking better too. Getting the mins in.
