Our captains let us down last night, non more so than Romero obviously.
We started like a train and Chelsea couldn't cope with us. The match changed after Udogies tackle which seemed to be the point where we abandoned playing football and just wanted to kick the shit out of Chelsea.
Why didn't our captains try and change this?!
People will point to Son chasing down the keeper at 4-1 and yes his work ethic was great but he's captain of both us and his country. We needed him to settle the team down especially Romero who was lucky to stay on after first tackle.
Ange needs to sort this in next 2 windows. If our 3 captains cant carry out one of the main responsibilities then we need to ensure one or two of our next signings have the personality to be leaders on pitch even if that means we sacrifice a little quality for that. And no that doesn't mean we sell son and Madison or anything like that but the team will be evolving in coming windows and the mentality of who we buy is crucial.
