FA Cup: Chelsea (A) Match-Thread

[Chris63]

Omg just embarrasing . We even awake on the pitch 

[winteriscoming]

I live in hope that Fatuwo might actually go on the outside instead of cutting in every time. I can dream. 

[Mike1983]

Doyle’s been awful

[Pliskin]

It’s not been that bad for **** sake. 
 

People were stupidly suggesting Chelsea were there for the taking? They might not be the force they were but they’re still littered with quality.

 

We’ve stood up to them fairly well, we know we make mistakes, and premier league teams will exploit that. We were never going to win today, it was about getting through the game and try and work some positives out of it, because we need it. 

[LVFox]

We've played nice stuff at times, midfield 3 look comfortable enough at this level.

 

The back 4 is horrific, and we should be 4 down.

 

Naive football really, I admire that we are sticking to our principles but other than our midfield 3, we are nowhere near their level

[K789]

Very naive from manager with high line 

[Langston]

Fair play to KDH for looking decent. Quality of football from both sides has been pretty shite all in all.

[Clever Fox]

Chelsea are too big, strong ,and quick for us. Our soft spot has been exposed.

[Tuna]

We're a shambles at the back and have no idea as an attacking force

 

Very worrying

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

Especially if you’ve got winks as the guy protecting them.

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

We are going toe to toe, better finishing and it would be a game 

[KingsX]

[LCFCfoxes12]

We’re miles off them in terms of attacking threat, and pretty woeful at the back. Can’t see any kind of come back 

[Kasey Keller]

Our defence look like they’ve dropped anchor 

[South Shire Fox]

Embarrassing how easy it is to get through the defence. Absolutley no belief up front either. Completley rudderless without Vardy, Coady and Ricardo like we all knew apart from Enzo

Fatawa having a stinker ball watching for 1st goal and give away a penalty.

[Durnerz]

Approach play so slow and predictable. Hard to believe Daka was brought in as a premier league striker.

He's playing inverted.... 

yeah and hes been miles away when theyve got the ball down that side....

[Swarles Barkley]

Get into good positions, turn around, pass to CB, Pass To winks, pass to CB, pass to choudury, pass to winks, pass to choudury, pass to centre back, attempt long ball, lose possession 

[RowlattsFox]

I don't want us to go all Sean dyche but tactically we are just asking to be beat. It's brave if you are good enough to cope but we aren't. 

[Dr The Singh]

Fair score line.  I think Maresca will learn alot, today.

 

The gulf is massive.

[Andy11111]

No Vardy, no goals

[Kasey Keller]

Chilwell to come on, score and knee slide in front of the city fans 

[BenTheFox]

Fatawu and Vestergaard in particular have been abysmal 

[OadbyBlue]

If we go up the defence needs massive investment. Doyle has done well but the rest of em clearly not good enough
