What did the wife think

She's not allowed to think.

Coleman off, Doucoure on, 3 in midfield and we crush them second half

This will be our sub at 2-2

….when you set up your team the same way & keep conceding the first goal, it shouldn’t be a surprise when it happens again. When you continually concede from set-plays it should be no surprise when you concede again.

Things wont change unless you change. Indeed you’d be a bit daft doing the same things if they don’t work.

it was very poor but the equaliser was vital because we could easily have gone 2 down. The next goal is now just as important, we score it and we should be in the hat but that’s not a foregone conclusion.

Come on Blues.

Five at the back is pure poison. It baffles me that football professionals actually think it's a decent formation. I'd genuinely love to hear the logic behind it.

3-5-2 is what it really should be, Conte has shown its a great formation when done correctly. Unfortuantely we do it and we dont have the wingbacks getting forward and llaying like wingbacks. It's like having an extra full back as a flat 5.

Taking Kenny or Coleman off and putting on someone in the middle would give us 10x more of the ball and more control, nobody on here is qualified, or a professional in football however ALL OF US can see it. ALL of us.

No wonder our press doesnt work when Allan and Gomes are having to play v 3, and easily bypassed. I cant fault the pair of them for a tactical decision that is bizzarre.

At least we know we can compete with the championship relegation scrap teams. I get what benitez is doing. Planning for the next season.

State of Ashley Williams hairline, needs to have a word with his barber.

 

[roy vernon]

Quick goal here to kill them off. Get Patterson then for some minutes and maybe Dobbin.
