• Rob (43):Yes James Garner a big favourite of mine, another game where he n ever stops working and taking responsibility for attacking and defending, a real team player—- I made Ndiaye my MOTM but wouldn’t begrudge James Garner if he got it....

• I think losing KDH so early in the game didn’t help the Bluesbut that was more than balanced out with Chelsea playing a half fit Palmer for only an hour and he was a big part of Chelsea’s victory. We had chances, again, but failed to take them and we were badly let down in defence for those two Chelsea goals. Amazingly we could have stolen a draw late in the game when Mykolenko did well lining up a decent chance for Charlie who was denied by a great block and Ndiaye, who could have had a penalty in the first half, did brilliantly with a lovely dribble and shot that hit the inside of the post, he continues to fight all,over the field for the ball and got little help from the referee with the stick he took off that Chelsea full back. Beaten today by a better team but not outclassed and we will do better than this when we get a bigger and stronger squad, hopefully starting in January and then February when Gana and Ndiaye come back....

• Easily beaten by a team who showed more quality and movement in the important moments. Our system relies upon the attacking centre mid while everyone else is stuck to their positions. Chelsea had greater movement all over the park. I didn't think we played that badly but just lacked quality. Their right back moves inside, waltzes by Barry and passes to Palmer to slot home. The same guy hits us on the counter and scores the 2nd. Our right back was hesitant to go on any over laps and when he did he didn't have the quality to play the pass. Gana drills the ball across the 6 yard box and the ball nicks off the goalie and through our strikers legs, not a quality issue more of a timing issue as any half decent striker converts that. Grealish has 2 good chances and couldn't take either in front of Tuchel. Garner my motm by a long way must have impressed the England manager. ...

• I’ll never understand how Mykolenko gets away with being unbelievably bad yet gets very little criticism. He’s a total imposter. Beto needs to be sold for what we can get and Barry loaned with an eye to get a bit of money back. They are obvious mistakes and all we can do is mitigate the situation. Our recruitment team inspires zero confidence. Let’s hope Dibling isn’t another catastrophic mistake....

• They had a little too much class for us, we were always to be going up against it when KDH was injured and came off. I hope its not too bad. We still performed well in spells and had a few decent chances to score. Ndyiaye had his usual good game despite being roughed up often. We are getting threadbare fit player wise and its bound to affect our performances and results. ...
