Bit overly dramatic. We were off it in the 2nd half but still early days and felt better and with more intent and identy than all of last season. Plus Mudryk didn’t look like a silly goose. Improving a bit.

Well I thought we’d lose. So will take that, we look a real poor side. Open in the middle, no control. Finishing every chance we created v wolves has papered over a lot of cracks

We are better under maresca than we were under poch
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed

Not been amazing but you can at least see something there. Hopefully Enzo gets dropped asap. Massively missing Conors energy in the middle, surprised DH hasn't got more minutes but Enzo being captain is dumb

Doesn't feel that different to Poch. It was basketball under him, it's a similar feeling now.

We’d have won with Osmein

We look awful imo - there's no shape or structure to any of this and often we were just plodding it around in midfield and lumping it forward.

Enzo, Caicedo, Madueke were all especially poor imo but honestly it will be a different three players the next week and then next because the team looks poorly coached with no idea what it's doing.

Now got to stew on it for two weeks too.

I really don't think we played that bad. Much more control than against Wolves. Transition defending still an issue, but not nearly as bad as last week.

Enzo was terrible and missed several chances to play in a teammate. Mads, Felix and Nkunku all had moments where they were selfish.

Otherwise a pretty reasonable performance. Especially considering how early we are in Maresca's reign.

Why? Palace were sheite and done nothing. The goal was out of nowhere and a WC strike. Other than that were worse than us

I think it could easily have been Poch again.

Saw no shape, just chaos.

But we got some right old Scrooge's who are "buh humbug" for everything and will complain about everything and not take anything remotely positive

I thought the shape was quite defined actually. Back 3 of Cucu, Colwill and Fofana, the latter moving out to RB in the build up, Caicedo dropping into RCB to try and tempt the press, Palmer dropping into CM to exploit the space once a presser moved towards Caicedo.

Once Gusto got injured, Caicedo moved out the RB and Enzo played the CM dropping into CB role.

We're still not structured enough in transition defending, with our players always a bit too far away from the guys they should be covering. But it was significantly better than against Wolves.

You spent the whole game bleating about the ref and Enzo and have the cheek to call out others for complaining?

1st half we did well, much better control and really ought to have got ourselves a larger lead. Palace should have then gone down to 10 men and shortly after got their goal which came out of nowhere. The worrying thing was just how uncontrolled and frantic it became after then, we really need to improve on that. A better team doesn't panic and just let's their quality show over time. That said, we had a couple of great chances at the end to get that winner

Lol, no one's crying. Just saying it's rich coming from you.

Go and enjoy the sun and don't think about Chelsea for a bit.

I certainly am now planning to do that.

Just normal from him these days. Also like most his views in CFC. Ignores everything good, just emphasises the bad, like I said I didn't do these things

I love when someone said you done this yesterday

Like......yeh I did, you're point?

*you said this

Not sure how I got "you done this yesterday"

*your point
