We should have play our B team instead and rest our key players for league.

Why is Matić trying to tackle maguire ?

Because he saw the little dribble he tried a few minutes ago.

Its not the problem today. Our wingbacks have been bad and our defense injured and indecisive, and our keeper appalling gifting them goals that never should be. Rashford also a chief culprit of losing possession cheaply. Even now with some of our starters on we are struggling. Combined with 48hrs less rest and we are getting a good beating.

EDIT: penalty! We are clearly winning this now.

I didn't say it was THE problem. I said it was Oles problem. It was a bad idea. James hasn't performed in a long time and does not have the relationship with Bruno or Rashford. Martial should have started.

All the other reasons you give are the OTHER problems. I just said Ole's mistake was that decision. It didn't work, James offered nothing, it wasn't the game for him with Chelsea playing 3 CBs.

People are also forgetting that Chelsea has more time to recover from their last game. At this stage of the season this makes a huge difference. (I mean in the real world not on FIFA 20)

BBC shouldn’t even be allowed to show any football. The programme always finishes a few minutes after the final whistle because nobody intelligent schedules it properly. We never get post match analysis, nor do we see post match interviews with managers/players.

Tonight we will be cut short and have no analysis/interviews so they can show a repeat of Antiques Roadshow.

Shambolic.

If I was in charge, it would have ended half an hour ago.

Redlyn · Jul 19, 2020

So no result and all the key players knackered. Good one Ole.

Well i won't feck off because im entitled to my own opinion so don't get rude about it.

We went unbeaten during the first 20 or so games when Ole first joined and the last 4 or 5 we played terrible, the rest was horrendous. We don't have a style of play at all, we have played about 5 games of exciting football this whole season.

We've had the best points record in the league since the league resumed...

To ask for him to be sacked on the back of that is just ridiculous. Not to mention you've proabably only just come around after a loss in a cup after fielding a weakened team against a chelski side that have had 2 extra days of rest.

I dont blame him for rotating, I blame him for the players he selected. Why start with James if youre going to play with 2 strikers? We have Ighalo for that, why use Bruno as a false 9? Why changing for a back 5 when we have played with a back 4 all along?

We tried something different and he feck up, thats the truth.

It happens. I just don't want us to focus too much on this result when we still have a lot to play for.

Another choice for us next season if Dalot is leaving the club.

You’re expectations must be low. His been simply okay.

As i said to the other person, i am entitled to my own opinion. Ole rested 4 first team players in this game. Chelsea are in the same boat too with tiredness. Why dont you review how teams play and how we play, we have no style, we are slow, we ball watch, dont chase down players.

Not they are not.

They've had 4 days rest and we've had 2.

It's fecking unfair.

Imagine we gave the armband to someone who hasn’t won anything in his career. Let alone the fact he had only been at the club 6months.

I’m still baffled by that decision.

Not when we're having to play so many games with such little rest between them.

Some of our ‘supporters’ need to have a word with themselves.

It’s not the result we wanted, but we have done well since the restart.

Get over it, let’s move on until Wednesday.

Agreed.

Maguire and lindelof have been poor today, but boy oh boy has OGS worked them every minute of every match.

They haven't had the best of games, but DDG has been beyond poor. He should have saved at least 2 of the goals.

Brilliantly this season? The team has played good since Bruno's arrival and great since covid.

But somehow did you missed the first half of the season?

fecked over by injuries

I think we have been fairly average since we beat Bournemouth. ALthough the goals and enternainment has been very good since lockdown. If you were to analyse the fixtures we havent actually been that good against any of the good sides we have played apart from Sheffield Utd.

Also if you look before January we were a mile away. If you look since January we are so so reliant on Fernandes. When he plays well, we play well and score. He has looked tired the last 3/4 games with all the running he has done and its no coincidence we have struggled a bit those games.

Credit to Chelsea for the pressing. Also it is the best they have been defensively for me this season. NOt that we made it hard for them, we hav ebeen very sloppy and again without Fernandes unlocking defences sitting behind the ball, we are too slow and clueless.

I am glad leicester have so many injuries as the way we have been the last couple of games I wouldnt be confident at all of getting a result there against there best side.

AGain our squad is probably 4-6 players short of one to challenge, hopefully 2/3 of those can come from our academy but we definately need three quality signings in the summer and one of them HAS to be a quality centre back.

Maguire for me isnt good enough to be the main man in a centre back partnership, he should be the supporting defender. And none of our other centre backs that have been fit are good enough to support him either.

Hard to argue with most of that , we have improved as the season has gone one but we are also very overrated right now and still a long way off having a squad that can compete at the top.

Would really worry that Leicester will turn us over next Sunday.

I never asked for him to be sacked. I said i dont think Ole is a top club manager. There is a stark difference between what i said and what you have assumed.

peridigm · Jul 19, 2020

Never in this from the start but the 2nd goal killed it.

It's not a managers problem that he's rotating players. Chemistry is an excuse for the player. Daniel James is a mature enough player to understand his team without having to play every minute with them

Solsjkaers players let him down and he puts so much trust into these clowns.

Lampard is English, of course he's their 'darling'. It's typical of British media. Don't worry about it.

Apart from not starting De Gea, who could we have rested without making XI a completely mockery of the competition?

Who gives a toss about the line when they give the other team 4 days rest and we only get 2 and then have to play another game 3 days later
