You appear to have zoned in on Coleman, im not sure why, I saw 14 players on the pitch playing at a very low level of performance.

But enjoy your scapegoating.

Wan Bissaka would cost an utter fortune Zat, hes a very good player, but hes not what we need. You have said constantly that we need a Digne clone on the right, that is not AWB.

Get the boy Atal for buttons and win the lot.

I mean Digne quality...that would allow Richarlison more freedom as hes not similar to Bernard and needs to play higher up the pitch.

£40mil...id pay it tomorrow.

Atal is rapido but im not sure if his all round game is good enough.

Looked like bad tactics to me.

Is Kenny the answer again? LOL. Seamus has been back to his best in the last 5 or 6 weeks. He was crap today but no more crap than anyone else in blue. Him and Rico have dovetailed nicely in recent games, not today.

Think today only proved that when Richarlison plays more of an advanced role Coleman isnt good enough 1-1 anymore.

The problem.with that is he's not 1 on 1 he's left covering two but ends up getting caught between two. It was the same with Walcott playing there. I'm not saying Seamus wasn't poor earlier in the season but I think its overstated by some.

He's been very up and down this year. Today was a complete disaster of a performance. But the main issue is his lack of quality this season. He can't pass the ball incisively or take the ball in tight spaces.

He needs to look at himself and work out how he can play so well last week and then so poorly 6 days later. The drop off simply can't be so dramatic. Players have to take responsibility for their own standards. These players seem unwilling to do so.

Totally disagree, last few games Richarlison has been charging back to be practically a 2nd right back without the ball...

Chelsea first half until this game.

Now richarlison is further forward and coleman was targeted all game.

Maybe his was left exposed by the manager’s tactics?

I didn't think so. I expect my right back to not get rinsed by Ryan Babel. The tactics were not much different than last week.

Yeah, and I wonder if Seamus is now of an age where he will struggle to maintain his old consistency?

Quite possibly. You never saw him play that badly before the injury. I'd be more than happy to replace him if someone is available.

Yeah - would be looking to keep him as backup though. Especially if the competition makes him recapture his old form and force himself back into the team

His Barkley levels of consistency continue. Awful challenge which means it's likely the last we will see of him if we don't buy him..

Great player on his day.... Awful today like many. Probably won't get the Same levels of criticism though.
