With Huddersfield one up, I fully expect us to come out with a care in the world. Thinking it's all done, again

Can't really feel too excited about Huddersfield when we look like we could easily lose. I will be if they're still ahead with 10 mins to go but am more concerned about us not losing to be honest!

I wonder if Poch is going to do a Harry and tell the players that Chelsea are winning. :ROFLMAO:

Let's hope Huddersfield keep their noses in front!

I don;t think it was that bad? A few chances. The main thing that's irritated me is that Davies has often been totally free on the left, but the players have taken the ball centrally into crowded areas. Must use the width on both sides, not just the right.

The thing is, Poch is extremely limited in his options to make a massive change. He doesn;t have the CM personnel available, and would have to bring Alli or Eriksen into the CM. Perhaps Moura on in place.

Would like a 4-3-3, CM consisting of Eriksen, Wanyama and Dele. the AM3 of Moura, Son and Kane. At least the CM area won;t be so clunky. COYS

Not that bad???
It was awful. Just cannot believe how out of form and one paced the team is. He has options but he won't change it.

Lucas has to be sitting there utterly befuddled. He was our biggest threat against WBA, drew two yellow cards within minutes of coming on, and somehow hasn't gotten a look in while Sissoko is given a start.

Needs a Poch pre-season to knock that out of him.

no doubt the players will know the chelsea score, question is will this fire us up or make us more lethargic

TBH poch has always favoured Physicality in CM over say more of a passer and nothings changed

I think he was coming around to a more passing type CM when Winks was playing regularly. There isn;t really much else of an option but to go clunky. Unless the whole system changes to a 4-3-3 dropping our more creatives like Eriksen and Dele alongside Wanyama. I don;t think Eriksen works as well in a CM2. Still would be better than this though I suppose. But if you put Eriksen in a CM2, you lose the little creativity we have in the AM section.

The fact that we're sitting here cheering for Huddersfield to save our season tells you all you need to know :D

I would make whole sale changes Toby on for Sissoko and play three at the back. Lamela on for Dele and Moura on for Son
