I also do lnt buy the post Xmas pressure argument. But equally, there is no pressure playing Arsenal or City in November. We aren’t expected to win those. It will playing City on the final day for a UCL spot that will be pressure. I don’t think we are up to that.

If it comes down to needing something against Citeh it’s done. We won’t get a result there.

He's a prick, Enzo, but Christ we gave him the freedom of the final third to pick a pass last night.
An absolute prick that I would love in our team!!!

One of the most annoying experiences last night apart from the obvious?
Chelsea's pathetic team huddle right on the halfway line while we're waiting to start the second half.
It was like an intimidating tactic, saying we are on your ground, in your back yard, and we don’t give a fuck.

It worked.

And not one of our lot had the balls to go and break it up. Would you imagine Arsenal, Red filth standing for that?

We are just meek and its been a problem for us for a while.

Watching back their goals, horrendous really. No pressure on ball a given but our defensive line between both centre backs was all over the place. Konsa's efforts stopping Pedro getting to the first were pathetic, Mings was similar for the earlier header that Martinez saved. Konsa ball watching for the second and Mings playing Pedro onside. Onana awol. Martinez piss poor for the third. We aren't defending the edge of our box well of late. Bogarde must have been 10 yards out of position for the fourth.

A lot to fix and not just by putting another body into midfield.
