2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[matty1878]

A few missing heads have already resurfaced tonight after being missing for the last two weeks, I’ve noticed.

yep

wuss lol stay and fight

We are still in a battle for 4th and in the FA Cup, it would be unfair for me to fight from such a position of strength.

Hope Carlo is ruthless with the squad this summer. He’ll know full well who is and isn’t good enough.

 

[gonetomorrow]

He's done great. A few more faces in the summer and we'll be in there.

yep one game doesn’t define a thing

 

[Jim Hopper]

this game really exposed just how far we are when it comes to squad quality from top4.

It was already common knowledge. The teams above us all have superior quality and squad depth than we do.

We are a work in progress. When we get to the stage were we no longer need to rely on Alex Iwobi, Andre Gomes and need to use centre halves as full backs thats when we’ll be ripe to compete with those above us.

 

[alphabet]

mate we know we need a far better squad

not coz of tonight’s game lol

I meant in terms of actual top4 positions. When the top teams are in form, not much we can do. Specially when our only reliable creative player (James) is out injured.

I do think that overall we looked solid defensively. That own goal was just unlucky, the ball was really soft and was never going in the back of the net otherwise. And penalty. That's about it. Sure we let through some shots, but Picks finally did his job. On the other hand, when it comes to going forward, no James no party.

we need creativity and when James doesn’t play we’re basic

 

[Lanolin]

Was always going to be very difficult to do anything tonight, don’t think there’s a lot we could have done differently. The important thing now is not to let it become the sort of slump we often see after a bad result. Back on it against Burnley.

 

[Axlswhk]

Surely carlo must now realise no tactics or style will work if he continue to start Gomes n siggy in the same team.

 

[LocalNative]

Chelsea absolutely run as ragged there. Given our away form recently it's hard to be too critical. We were poor, really poor but move on I suppose. Top 4 a bit too far for us but hopefully can hold onto 5th and qualify for Europe.

 

[kenada_blue]

Idea was there tonight, just lacking quality and injuries

 

[sageyefc]

Meh wasn’t expecting much from that game, would’ve liked to see us a bit more competitive and not so defensive.

 

[Death]

March on blues. Got these at a bad time.

Keep going.

The results are better, the level of play really isn't.
