    Chelsea were there to be had on the counter, but Jaysus villa are absolutely all over the shop.


    Emery has not had answers for quite some time now. Praying he finds some in the 2nd half.

    Offside and var can suck a fat one.

    No offside should be based off a kneecap. It's ridiculous. If anything it should be based on planted feet. As that tells how your positioned to proceed forward.

    we can have no complaints. Nothing more than Chelsea deserve. They've been the better team by far. Yes we had the early goal and some great chances to score again but we could have let in six with that high line. The difference in quality is patently evident in the way that they hold onto possession and how we give it straight back. I'm afraid that without Tielemans and Kamara, we are a very average side, if even that.

    We can always have complaints. That's part of the entertainment of football.. 😀

    Except they've no defence - they are great going forward but wide open at times at the back.

    They are getting all the rub of the luck too - but again I scream Ollie should have had 3 - to be offside like that is criminal, he had so much space to hang back an extra half foot, Jorgensons save from the rocket he hit 9 times out of 10 that's in, the 1 v 1 after Fofana went down - you could see he was expecting a whistle, no commitment although he was clattered.

    Despite his assist Bailey has been the liability we worried about, Cash is just getting hammered by Garnacho. Mings has seemed sluggish by his standards - probably should have cut out cross for their 1st.

    It's all so frustrating - we are finally showing spark and creating chances, but still all our luck is gone

    Bogarde on for Cash - I hope he has the pace to stay with Garnacho



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,775 ✭✭✭LeBash


    And were done



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,156 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    If only Emi could have got the transfer he so desperately wanted.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,955 ✭✭✭Patser


    Nope, not happening. Losing it too easy and being picked off

    2 down now.

    **** SAKE OLLIE

    Ollie is done.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,886 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    I've a small child here that would have dinked that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,156 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    3 changes. Somehow Abraham for Ollie is not one of them. Honestly do not be surprised if Emery walks tonight.



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 8,112 Mod ✭✭✭✭circadian


    The wheels are off.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,886 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    🤷‍♂️🕦



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,955 ✭✭✭Patser


    Disasterous



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,156 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Wheels been off for months? Emery tore them off.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,753 ✭✭✭basillarkin


    Just shut up shop before this becomes even more embarrassing

    This hammering was long over due, poor poor side



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,955 ✭✭✭Patser


    Cash was only one that handle Garnacho, but was so isolated that he ended up booked - and he had to be taken off. After that we've no other RB worth it, poor old Bogarde asked to fill in again



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,955 ✭✭✭Patser


    It'll the the Million Dollar Unknown Question - if Tammy (still sitting on bench) had started instead of Ollie, and had the same chances, what would score be



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 820 ✭✭✭weadick


    Maybe Emery bringing out that book was a bit premature



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 462 ✭✭cgorzy


    We are so bad, wide open all the time, terrible on the ball and even when we close them they walk out with the ball.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,156 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Emery didn’t bring out a book. I don’t think he’s even quoted in the book.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 820 ✭✭✭weadick


    He did. Rise of the Villains by Guillem Balague



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,775 ✭✭✭LeBash


    How did Sancho make it as a professional footballer?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭Panrich


    We have a full blown crisis going on. It's a real test for the manager now. One thing is for sure. He needs to mix it up selection-wise.

    By Guillem Balague. Not Unai Emery. I don’t believe he’s even quoted in the book.
