Really sorry to see UK struggling again under Covid. Here in OZ it's under reasonable control due to us having closed our borders from the off, with compulsory 14 day supervised Quarantine for all essential arrivals. Still we had a 112 day total lockdown in parts of the Country, everything closed except Supermarkets and medical centres. It was tough. Not so easy to do in your place, with so much more travel and trade between borders, and you are also in winter. Stay safe and enjoy your Christmas, and get the vaccine soon as its' available.
Have family in Melbourne they had it tough for a while, friends in Sidney they were worried for a while but my old mate in Freemantle hardly had any change at all. best wishes to you and all this Xmas CP.
Have a great Chistmas everybody. Let's hope, with the help of these vaccines, that we will be able to start returning to some semblance of normality in 2021. With so many deaths and job losses, it has been an awful sad and depressing year for so many around the world. Stay safe !
Covid has set in the Chelsea camp, they all played like they were under the influence, starting to question Franks leadership when at 2-0 down at halftime he chooses Jorginho to up the tempo, its similar to putting petrol on a fire. Thought CHO played well for his 45 mins mind.
Agree on this. Jorginho and Tammy Abraham aren't good enough. Our struggling new striker plays in the wrong position, we leave out our most in form striker Giroud, and the players can't motivate themselves to even put in some effort. Today everyone was just pathetic, apart from CHO. What a pity he didn't start with Pulisic on the other side, now there's a thought, play 2 wingers !!!!!! Zouma and Silva were their usual tidy selves, Pulisic and Mount showed effort. Food for thought when Zouma and Silva got more attempts on goal than the striker. Even Kante was poor with his control. I though Reece James was shocking, he was run around, run past, run in behind all day by Arsenal. Most unlike him. Mendy was scratchy. Frank needs to get this stuff sorted, Abraham has poor technical skills and no anticipation. Werner can't pass, can't dribble, but can run onto decent balls and score as well as anyone. The teamwork is slow, sloppy, and predictable. Frank needs a rethink when his injured players return, because teamwork is not getting better
Frank seems to be playing Tammy against sides that play deep (like spurs) when we cross the ball a lot and Giroud should play then he plays Giroud against Wolves when we he is too static against a high line. Tammy should play then and he can run channels and stretch play and swap positions with Timo
I expect to see a massive response against Villa tomorrow, The bin dippers unexpectedly dropped points today so hoping Wolves can stop Spuds from winning and it won't seem so bad.
As always your optimism is catching. One thing is sure though, we can't play as badly as that again. Can we ??
