Match Day Thread Chelsea vs Southampton, 19:45, Tuesday 25th April

3rd and 4th choice says it all really. Whatever people say, Yoshida isn't a starter.

 

**** it. We've been really good at times, as good as we can be, better than we were against City by far. Balls, 1-1 at break would of been fantastic.

Boufal seems ok, and more economical with the ball. Much man love for Romeu. COYR, still in this.

 

Actually playing very well and limited Chelsea to only 2 shots at target - still conceded two goals and losing

 

Redmond please.

 

i do prefer us going end to end and trying to outscore them with our attacking threat than trying to hold them off all game with our defence.

 

You can't say that about Maya. Not sure it's allowed.

 

Hazards goal is so stoppable. Both goals are.

 

It would have to be for Tadic. For all of Boufal's lack of effort defensively, offensively he's been miles better than in recent weeks.

 

Id rather have Yoshida than Fonte who was a starter. We are up against the league leaders, with several stars to watch at corners.

 

Didn't say anything about Fonte. Yoshida has too many brain fart moments to be a starter. I am not saying he is **** btw.

 

We lack a leader at the back who organises. That's our major problem, as soon as Chelsea have a sniff we unravel, and disastrously.

 

I like Yoshi, but it's simple truth sadly. If Van Dijk is leaving, we need two new cbs. Then let Gardos go.

 

Some really sloppy defending for both their goals. Yoshida strolling back into position when they are breaking, then nobody follows Hazard. I won't say anything about the second as our defending doesn't even deserve it.
Stephens has been every bit as good as Yoshida this season.

We are in this game. We can get a point here if we play like we did in that twenty minute spell in which we dominated. They can't handle constant pressure.

 

I don't agree with analysis, Cedric was right to track back and cover yoshi. Play OS trap against Chelsea counter?! Yoshi ran to cover also, leaving a hole at LCB for hazard to run into.

Agree boufal has been better but Redmond has been so much more menacing.

 

I still think we are in the game. Just stating 1) we are missing a leader and 2) Yoshi has way too many brain farts to start every game.

Not saying get rid, I am saying if Dijk goes we need two starting cbs.

 

My match thread status on the line here. C'mon boys, we can actually win this.

My kingdom for a decent chance for Gabby.

 

Come on boys! Push them all the way!

 

He was actually making less mistakes than Virgil and fonte when we were still rotating, i know as i was counting. His mistakes do seem to have come back since he was paired with Stephens though, i do really think he needs a leader next to him.

 

Who's Fonte?

Anyways get Romeu a DM partner and we won't need a defence.

 

C'mon you Saints, everyone of them is giving their all for the team, players of lesser quality will make mistakes but the team is showing loads of spirit, don't be suprised if we get a draw out of this.
