I cant believe people couldn't see that we pulverised Chelsea which was amazing when you consider how they have been playing. Had we gone even 2 up we could have introduced Fernando and sat back.As it was we had to keep creating chances with the inevitable stretching of the game and result..A rest for Sergio who was fucking rank will do him and the team a power of good.

That's about the sum of it all.
My only concern at half time was what the ref was going to continue to do to screw it up.

We were all over them . Even the otter had Pluto in his pocket.

This league is corrupt and the refs are the worst in the world yet the Brits and English in particular hang on to some mythical beliefs. If those in charge don't make changes people will stop going to the games.

A couple of excellent posts there amongst all the weekend mayhem !

Replace Clownio Bravo. Buy some very average defenders with top flight experience (even these would surely improve us at the back) . Don't let Otamendi or Kolarov anywhere near the back four ever again. Stick Jesus in the team at the earliest opportunity.

As bad as the defence looked, I don't think that was the issue.
The problem to me was a combination of our setup, and our inability to finish. The defenders are obviously instructed to play a high line, to the extent of camping out around the opposition box, it's not surprising they are getting caught out by punts over the top, and this combined with Bravo's total inability to deal with one on ones means we are always liable to concede.
But the other side of the same coin says we should be overpowering sides when we go forward en-mass, and more or less scoring for fun,but that's just not happening.

He won't save us.

No, but the sprinklers will be popular at half time.
