Was always decent going away there. You know which one tops the list for me but it’s still good going to the bridge..
Yeah I know as I grew up in Dagenham I was well aware of their hatred of us and even know moving a little bit further out in Essex it's still the same so I get it

I think it's down to the fact that we really are down to bare bones and this dictates the way we play. The players need to be kept fresh for as long as possible and that means playing an energy efficient game. If we lose any more forward-playing players we are in full blown crisis mode with 3 competitions still to play in. Had it not been for one lapse in concentration we would have walked away with a 0-0 draw, meaning any score draw at Leipzig would have favoured us. Alas it did not happen, but we did have more shots on target even with sitting back. We beat City by playing that way. It just requires iron discipline from the team.

I would agree but it started against Chelsea before the injury crisis.

we definitely will lose this because:
1. we always f**k up an important match
2. chelski always turns up against us
3. injury crisis
4. fatigue after CL
its just like throwing a dice with one on every side

I can't watch. Not watching means I have no opinion on the way we play. It's heartbreaking at the moment.

Injuries aside, Bournemouth, Southampton, Wolves and Brighton play better football than us with players of lower quality. Our XI that goes out will be snapped up by most managers in the league.

Chelsea are quite alien to me to be honest. Might aswell be up in Birmingham or something.

We didn't against City.

The rest I can't disagree with.

In the last match Lampard got his tactics spot on and Jose didnt really have an answer, although it was very early into his tenure. I trust that Jose has the experience to sort that out this time, but now I'm concerned we don't have the players fit to execute the require gameplan and we're going to be fatigued. I think it'll be a stalemate tbh.... or we'll batter them.... or get battered... yeah, I've got no idea tbh

If Ndombele and Lamela can play for more than 30 mins I fancy our chances.
