We’ve comfortably had the two best chances. Both falling to Cam. He’s getting into great positions

Great to hear. Got no working stream so following it on here.

An enjoyable watch. Can see Archer being a bit of a Delfouneso.

Think that is very harsh

Extremely.

I dont understand the logic of not having one or two senior players on the bench.  Lets be honest OT away we are likley getting nothing. I would have rather prioritised this game. Chelsea are there for the taking.

Konsa is there but I agree...Watkins has looked a bit rusty so far this season so definitely could or should be in the squad. To be fair to Deano and the club, there is no point courting the best young players across the divisions if you don't give them chances in the first team when they arise. Chelsea have given a few of theirs a go tonight too. Has made for a good game. Tuchel certainly is taking it seriously if his antics are anything to go by.

I wonder if it would be an effort to get the club thinking like "the Big Six" - if the big clubs play their reserves, then if we want to be perceived as a big club we should play our reserves. Also, why give Chelsea's reserves / youth the free experience of playing against experienced PL players in a match their club don't care about ?

I’m really lucky in that my stream has no commentary at all. Just the crowd noise!

Chelsea defence looks strong
They do not concede many, but no complaints about our performance I was moaning a bit about El Ghazi and Beundia and then they both got involved.
Keep going

I think that's the same channel I have on, the one who keeps saying 'we' can get in the fucking sea.

The only way for us to be perceived that way is to win trophies and finish in the top six regularly.
