Kamara best player on the pitch first half.

Pretty even game. We're not winning thanks to an unreal save.

They're offside every single time and Sterling is a cheating little shirt tugging ******.

McGinn not at the races at all. Need to get Diaby and Watkins more involved. Kamara looking a lot more like it.

Not sure what the fuck the referee was doing there. Chelsea should have had 2 or 3 in the book, but Digne gets a yellow for Sterling pulling his shirt, then they're allowed to attack down that side because he refused to let a blood injury back on.

That's a top save, very unlucky for Zaniolo. With a bit of fortune he could've scored a couple of belters int he last few days.

Looks a great technical player. Like him so far

Last season we had another gear to step up to. It looks like we're stuck in first here.

[Martyn Smith]

Liking the safe standing although with my frame, sitting in this pinhead of a space isn't really a option...

[Proposition Joe]

Kamara lookingike his old self again, but what's happened to McGinn?

Overall it doesn't seem to be clicking at all, especially up front, but maybe we'll eventually get that setpiece goal we'vs been threatening

[Hampshire Villa]

Ref doesn’t have a clue. Seems out of his depth here

I'd give Bailey a try second half. He could do something against these.

[Risso]

I think you'd get good odds on Watkins getting 20 goals this season.

[Martyn Smith]

This very much feels like two teams neither of whom are in their finest moment

[Nii Lamptey]

Generally looking pretty good. Kamara’s best half this season, but Ollie and McGinn not really at the races.
…And those Digne and Zaniolo strikes! 😳🔥

Kamara best player on the pitch first half.

Agreed, has been excellent. Luiz very good too. Cash and Konsa doing well. Left flank very vulnerable. Diaby and Watkins not in the game at all, very little cohesion between midfield and front.

I'd give Bailey a try second half. He could do something against these.

Except he wouldn't do anything, apart from weaken the team.

Noticed Poch was straight in the refs ear as he left the pitch. Expect further leaniency in the 2nd half & calls for Digne to be sent off.

He's not had a massive amount of service but still, pretty anonymous...

McGinn the weak point so far. 2 good hits but not created a fat lot else when it comes to decent chances. On the plus side neither have they.
