@cfcnxt @Matt_Law_DT Palmer and Estevao weren’t fit enough to play 120 mins. The game plan was sensible, although I would have introduced Palmer at HT. Chelsea have great recent history using pragmatic tactics in cup ties where big moments win the game… Barca semi-final (Torres) and ECL wins.

@kieranhatt @Matt_Law_DT What enzo and delap on the flanks for 60 min. Timid behaviour. Man's looking for hype for not losing at the emirates. Why not someone who operates there and can have a chane myabe palmer or estevao

Didn’t like that approach from Chelsea. They’re a big club with a history of winning. Go toe to toe with Arsenal and try and win the game. Total non-event imo.

@cfcnxt @Matt_Law_DT I’m afraid we are inferior to this Arsenal team at the moment. If CP was fully fit and RJ was available, maybe we could have approached the game differently. On another night the ball might have dropped for us if Enzo could hit the target.

@kieranhatt @Matt_Law_DT Nonsense!!! 11v11 we can't be inferior, the plan was to gamble???Utter Nonsense.

@MobyChe I can’t remember seeing RJ dropping deeper than the CBs once

@MobyChe I’d like to see Reece James sitting in midfield as the anchor and dropping in to make a back three in possession. With Caicedo and Fernandez ahead of him with more licence to aggressively press central areas. Sack off inverted full backs and get them overlapping in tandem

One of the massive issues we've faced since the beginning of the season and when Tosin doesn't play is the ball progression from CB. It's a big issue also behind that fact we can't break down smaller teams or create enough xG. Colwill has been Massively missed. It's why Maresca wanted a new CB and why earlier in the season he played Tosin more until he became a liability off the ball and had to stick with Fofana and Chalobah but they don't progress the ball through the middle well enough, they don't quickly make those progressive passes to cut through the lines. I'm interested in how Rosenior sees this. Badiashille can do this but can be reckless in how he does it but to actually speed up play you need CBs willing to break the lines and do It well.

@rioferdy5 With the tips of my fingers

How we all feeling right now….

@MobyChe You need to stop piling on individuals with negative comments. Crap fan

I need to erase this game from my memory

@VdykCFC @MobyChe You clearly haven’t been watching Chelsea for very long

TOSIN IS THE WORST DEFENDER I HAVE EVER WATCHED AT THIS CLUB. BOTTOM OF THE FUCKING BARREL, THE WORST OF THE WORST

@VariableKev Bat and ball

The greatest sporting event In the world is about to start !! An away ashes series. There really is nothing quite like it. Coffee ready. Buzzing. #ashes

@brendangrady11 @dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim I don’t comment on X often because people can’t talk respectfully to one another. For a moment I thought I was actually having an interesting conversation with someone but then you turned it sour.

@kieranhatt @dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim I haven’t but would expect some substance behind the Let’s All Go To Dubai comments

’Every young person with an ounce of ambition has left the country to go to Dubai…’ @ReemAmirIbrahim delivers an impassioned argument on pensions.

@brendangrady11 @dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim Sorry, didn’t realise you had banned me from discussing Dubai.

@kieranhatt @dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim Well first they need a job and sometimes sponsor them. Quit while you’re behind pal. You know now’t about Dubai so don’t include it in your comments

@MobyChe I watch him warm up before games. He can’t strike the ball with his laces. Often the worst finisher in the group. For this reason alone I can’t ever see him amounting to a league-winning striker. Cash in now while stock is high.

I know we apparently don't need him but isn't this strengthening last season's top 4 rival? I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on this. If it goes through won't really be a massive issue for me but just a thought.

@brendangrady11 @dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim For a new graduate in London, average income after tax is £2.3k. Room in the rough part of town £1k. Utilities & council tax approx £250. Now factor in crime/safety & the state of public services. That’s why young people are giving Dubai a shot. Don’t blame them really.

@kieranhatt @dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim Just makes me laugh when UK media think Dubai is the golden egg for young people. Graduates are earning £1500 per month paying £400 a month to live in shared spaces. Competition on salaries with skilled professionals from the globe.

@brendangrady11 @dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim Good luck to you

@kieranhatt @dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim I’ve lived in Dubai for 26 years, and the standard of living good, but certainly don’t get more bangs for your buck. Healthcare, education, children’s activities, alcohol, restaurants, groceries, all very expensive that’s before very competitive salaries with global competition

@brendangrady11 @dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim My sister has been there for 12 years and is raising a family. I’ve visited many times. I was merely pointing out what draws Brits to emigrate. Both economic systems have drawbacks but IMO you’re getting more bang for your buck in Dubai. Quality of life and safety is incomparable

@kieranhatt @dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim Then you need minimum 20 grand a year per child for basic education. You probably need to spend a bit of time in Dubai to understand how immigrants are taxed.

@brendangrady11 @dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim Yes, health insurance is expensive. As are taxes in the UK. The real difference is the quality of care and waiting lists.

@kieranhatt @dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim You realize healthcare in Dubai costs a fortune for immigrants

@dunn_outdoors @LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim Next to no ASB, sun, glorious beaches, good education, 1st class healthcare, every football game on TV…

@LBC @ReemAmirIbrahim Serious question, what's in Dubai besides low taxes?

@Jamie_Lang44 Don’t hold back Jay 😂

Saliba looks Robin Reliant not Rolls Royce today 😤 all round a poor performance from Arsenal

@rickygervais Those bloody angels 🙄

I was hoping this selfie would make me look really cool, but the angle makes me look like I have a withered body and a giant bulbous head. Them’s the breaks. Anyway, off to Montreal 👊

@MobyChe Any injury update on Lavia and Fofana?

Maresca system is that which, even though you leave the training pitch it's ingrained into you. Maresca Phase 2. Even we aren't ready for it lol. Hes one of the best communicator of his style of play I've seen in a long time as a coach and with speed too as well.
