I hoped Woods might add a bit of that given he is a ginner but it seems he is quite timid. A rare type of ginger.
Maybe I’m going mad, but might be worth giving Coyle a go as a defensive midfielder. Gets Christie in at right back and he’s better technically than Jones who is the only other viable option there atm. It’s so frustratingly obvious that all our midfielders would work better with a proper defensive midfielder behind them. Surely McLaughlin deserves a chance now also.
Last 20 minutes maybe, other than that it was about the same level as the performance and the weather I thought. And I was in the North Stand
For me I think he thinks he's Ederson... his distribution is awful and thats partly what puts this already shaky defence under pressure. Two or three times last night he shuffled 10 yard suicide balls to defenders. If he thinks he can be Chelseas number 1 it takes more than keeping a shot out. Ingram can do that.
Fortunately my recovery is still keeping me away from home games this is the first time I have seen that as a major benefit
That’s one of the worst things we picked up since League 1. No idea why it started, but it’s a very bad habit they’ve got into.
When exiting the east stand last night I swear I could hear a chant of: 'We're $hit and we know we are.' They aren't wrong.
I should have been more specific, I was referring to the pulling & grabbing of players. Greaves being the worst culprit IMO.
This is the mindset of relegated teams. Lost 5 games in a row and every game you say we were better than last one. And one day you woke up and realize, ****, we are relegated...
