We have no one in that midfield that can create anything

Fancy a bit on an upset here. I reckon Chelsea may actually win.

Willian and Pedro - but they haven't got on the ball yet.

Get Fabregas on, we've got nothing in the middle.

Kante and Bakayoko is an awful pairing. They are useless with the ball at their feet - hell they both have been awful at shielding the back four in recent months.

He's been poor this season. Overall I think he can be brilliant, but he hasn't been in good form tbh

Bakayoko has made 3 mistakes which have resulted in Watford shots.

Please, he doesn't make us better offensively or defensively.

I meant deeper.

Bakayoko has given the ball away in goal scoring situations 4x in 20 mins

Why don't we ever press teams the way everyone else presses us? we just let teams stroll into our half but they give us HELL getting out of ours

Bakayoko might have given one of the worst football performances I have ever seen

Simply because most of the players we have are bad at it. Other than Kante and possibly Pedro, our players are awful at pressing.

We're relying on long balls up forward because we have no midfield - fine, than can work, but not when you've got no facking target man!

Wow Bakayoko again

This is just painful to watch

Could work if there was movement behind. Going long doesn't have to go to the target man. But you are right, that the long passes we are playing are just panicky clearances.

Headless plonkers being managed by a clown...time to get rid

Bakayoko not making himself an option, Luiz is having to play sideways because there's no option in front of him.

Do you know if we place emphasis on pressing in training? It is a coordinated effort that has to be worked on and perfected

I think Conte should be fired now just for playing Bakayoko

Cant believe Chalobah and RLC were turfed out for Bakayoko. Possibly the worst buy of the season.

Why the long balls to hazard Pedro and willian? Who is the genius behind This?

Honestly, I know there's more problems in the club, but I honestly think this is because of Bakayoko again he offers no connection between defence and attack so we're forced to just go around him (around our own player ffs!)

Remember players like Chalobah and RLC

We got Drinkwater and bakayoko
