    Does Trent actually have any spatial awareness of attackers being behind him?

    Endo is doing ok. No pace but we know that. He is holding his own.

    Jones looks a spectator and not arsed.

    Elliott being Elliott sadly.

    Jota is also anonymous and not putting himself at risk.

    We are well in the game though.

    No.

    Hasn't done so since he got that ankle injury.

    He will sort of close players down then slow up and let them pass or just run him

    It's not even that I really care that much about as he does run about and try.

    It's the fact whenever he gets it he rarely does a positive thing with it. He's just recycled it every time so far.

    But he's still not the worst today. Jota and jones are not arsed. Just seen jota not show there when in yards of space and a 5 yard movement opens himself up for a pass.

    Slot will give them a rocket at half time.

    They only need 5% of actual extra effort and focus to be the better aide

    Besides the first five minutes we haven't been that bad.

    Certainly not looked our best... But understood considering nothing to play for and half the team replaced

    A few goals would be nice.

    Some of the moves to cut Chelsea open have actually been really good but the quality just hasn't been there to pull them off yet.

    Bring Mac, Dom and Diaz on in the second half and we win this game.

    It's all through 3 or 4 of our players.

    At least Elliott moves and links play even though it is most just giving it back.

    Jota has been absolutely not bothered.

    Experimental team not working. Changes have to be made.

    Enzo Maresca looks like a store brand version of Pep.

    I'd like to see Chiesa given some decent time on the pitch.

    Well thats why some players don't play.

    Half decent showing by trent
    Vvd OK
    Endo holding his own just about
    Gakpo doing a bit.
    Salah holding his spot and just trying to assist

    Ellott's tried his usual game but I wish he would try turn and be the playmaker.

    Jota is a black hole at 9 of not bothered

    There was some discussion at one point about Nunez approaching an appearance clause where we pay more... Anyone know the accuracy of that? Is he done for the season?

    I thought it was to do with starting a match, not so much as appearances?

    We will see.

    Jones is not defensive minded. His thoughts of defending is holding someone off as they try to win the ball from him. I really don't rate him.back there

    It's not shock me to see macca on but slot might take Elliott off and move jones first.

    However really it's a fairly.close game but we have not created a good chance yet. A few bad decisions with the final ball or shot too early.

    Don't agree with the yellow there. Foul yes. Yellow no, wasn't dangerous just mistimed and unfortunate.

    Right.

    Enough now.

    Time for subs.

    Jones pulled out there and left van dijk to chase in and try get it.

    No pace in midfield and it's Chelsea running in on back 4 all the time
