    Wow. Those subs are absolutely baffling. Jonesesque you might say.

    Presumably the thinking is Defending from the Front and adding some fresh pace to the team?

    May owe to the fact that we haven't been pressing as much this half. Three sets of fresh legs to try to keep Chelsea from pinning us back.

    Interesting subs!! Maybe to help us continue to press and push Chelsea back as they have been largely dominant so far in this 2nd half.

    Those subs shout counter attack but also invite Chelsea on to us a bit more

    Please get Elyounoussi off the pitch.

    Sorry but Mo El's creativity is non existent.

    Moi is not the best at leading counterattacks.

    Yes, swap Charly for Moi would be the logical move now.

    I get that but I feel if Chelsea equalise we will be so weak in attack to reply. Armstrong and Walcott are probably two of the least threatening forwards in the PL

    Don't you know that he has been blackmailing the manager and coaching staff since we signed him?

    Selles trolling Chelsea by having Walcott and Elyounoussi on the pitch

    No disagreement. I don't think I'd make the same choice, but I can understand the logic behind it.

    Edit: we're definitely not going into our shell, though. Still pushing up the pitch and attempting to counter, though whether we can actually execute something on the counter is a different question.

    Turns out AMN's best position was goalkeeper.
