December blip is here bebeehhhhh

What a time to pile on the stupid mistakes as well. I think those countless cleansheets have gotten to their heads.

December month hunt us again...shit happens....cant win them all....should have lost to watford but we won....this game should have draw but lost.

Liverpool and City for the title....just hope Chelsea dont finish too far away from them

Now watch Liv get ahead of us then MC

In the early tuchel days, yes he did.. our passes are flowing pretty neat and nicely up to the opponent box, there and then our issue was only about finishing chances

Now it’s finishing, passing, and in this match, too many individual errors (but this one i’d say due to piling injuries)

I wouldn’t say them as flops.. Saul has trouble adapting to the league, and now got injured so that would stunt his adaptation even further.. he should be coming in as substitute whenever we are two-three goals up to gain minutes

Lukaku.. i believe we haven’t figured out the best way to get the best out of him, but he definitely isn’t a flop

We need to fix our passing rate.. sharp short passes going forward and defender-cutting passes to get the ball to lukaku

Now we are basically using him as targetman.. damn, even giroud did better as one back then

IINM west ham also beat liverpool with the same scoreline right?

About Conte how to use Lukaku, he let Lukaku run behind the defender, while tuchel use Lukaku as target man
But oh, not many teams will give us whole lot of space behind defenders when vs us, except MC and Liv... Even got space behind the line, any of our players now can pass the ball like fabregas did to Diego Costa?

Yes, but Liv more consistent vs so called small teams...

That’s the problem.. we don’t have players that could pass like fabregas

I though ziyech could.. seeing his performance during ajax days, but with our tactic and gameplay, he seem to not able to conjure such passes anymore

More injuries

Agreed. Every I see Lukaku in the middle signal to pass to him but got ignored every time. Really kesian him not to be able use him. Maybe our players scared losing possession base on manager requirements and tactics

Time to sub Mendy and bring in Kepa. 2 very big mistakes. The first goal could have been prevented if after receiving the ball, he would just pick the ball up.

Backpass cannot pick up ball.

Ok my bad.

Would the backpass rule still apply after the the keeper first touch with his feet?

Yes

Mendy just had a bad game in two years... Kepa will get his chance during afcon

Don't write off mendy too quickly guys
He perform well for >1 years, n just 1 bad game doesn't means he is totally bad. Even ederson, allison n de gea also makes error sometimes.

Hope team will take this as wake up call n improve for next games

Wake up one thing, injuries another thing to deal with 😂
If Alonso not available, maybe Saul will play LWB vs zenit

really a bad weekend and start of Dec for us
