This is beyond frustrating, can only imagine how Hazard feels. Doesn't matter if we break, there's no outlets.
Our best chance for an improved team next year is if hazard makes certain demands to sign a new contract and Roman puts keeping hazard above his new goal of having a net 0 spend. Beyond that I think hazard goes this summer and maybe the team gets rebuilt. Around who? I don’t know.
He has already stated that he doesn't feel comfortable playing centrally. I don't understand how he keeps getting played out of position when we have two fit strikers on the bench.
Yeah I guess that's valid. I'm irrationally angry right now at everything. This has been excruciating.
We basically tried to out-City man city though with the false 9. Whole gameplan made 0 sense. Going to be a very tough battle to get 4th.
Can't blame Hazard for giving up. The fuck is he supposed to do with such shitty service? We were just aimlessly lofting the ball upfield. Pedro probably misses the toilet when he takes a piss; awful pass after awful pass. Hope we come out more positive in the next one. If we're down 1-0, we might as well have a go and lose 3-0 than not try at all.
And we at least break even in the midfield so hazard gets enough touches. Kante as key as Willian to the success of the formation that has worked MAYBE 10% of the time it has been used
We still play Liverpool and Tottenham. Going to need one of the other three teams to slip and going to need to win all the other games and win one of these two big games remaining. I don’t see it happening. Would be a big comeback to make champions league now and it will be tough to recruit in the summer without it.
My God that was pathetic. FFS stop using a false 9 particularly if the other option is Pedro. Saw Drinkwater getting a ton of shit at halftime and thought he was one of the only ones to play well. Another Christensen brain fart leads to a goal in a big game. On the balance he’s been excellent but it’s getting old. Excited for some Thursday nights!
that's amazing. I cannot get over the gameplan and how we played down 1-0 with Champions League on the line. I mean at least make an effort of it. shit
Solid lineup. Every game from here on out is basically a must win. Need to start putting pressure on Tottenham and Liverpool.
It's weird but there doesn't seem to be a ton of energy with this team. Score two goals and everyone is pretty meh about it.
I was thinking everyone looked down when they walked out of the tunnel. Then Conte didn't even look happy when we scored. Hopefully we pour it on in the second half.
We played well today. Took about 3 goal line clearances by Palace to keep it from getting out of hand.
Probably our most dominant performance in months. Dumb goal to give up at the end but 5-1 wouldn’t have been out of the question.
I'm even more baffled today after watching the match of day highlights than i was watching yesterday. It's actually impressive that we only had 2 goals.
Just realized our game is this afternoon, that came up quick. I can't take this much high stakes sports right now. A surprise W today would be really nice.
I have gone from overly pessimistic to optimistic #cfc team: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso, Hazard, Willian, Giroud.
LOL fuck off Wahl nice piggybacking off others with the Conte to PSG stuff. No way that guy has better sources than journalists in Europe.
