The James/Alexander Arnold debate will be red hot after this game. Both had great games the last 2 nights.

Much like when we played Liverpool, its not really hard to look good when no one tackles you and you have acres of space. James is quality but an under 10s player would have looked good against us tonight.

 

[Robbo]

Well that was dull but at least we didn't lose I guess.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

On the upside we didn't lose

 

[McBain]

Abysmal result for Chelsea

Embarrassing that Chelsea didnt win

Oh wow those stats. The attacking momentum stats are alarming. Who was at home again?

The comparison is boring to be honest. When James plays in a back 4 he gets exploited. At the moment he plays as a back 5. Azpiicueta is effectively right back nowadays.

Trent is a generational talent...James isnt.

I still really rate Mata. Offers so much more on the ball than most of your players combined

Same, always rated him. Seems a good solid professional, good attitude etc but sadly his legs are gone, not that pace was ever his thing, similar to Matic he’s just too slow now.

Yeah, Mata is a quality player on the ball in space still but any opposition who sees him on the teamsheet will have an easy game. Just press him and he will lose the ball so easily. No pace and doesn't have the guile of someone like David Silva to avoid losing the ball to the slightest pressure.
