What would you have done differently?
Outcoached today. No doubt.
I wouldn’t have started Hojbjerg, Dier and Davies.
I don't think he could feasibly have raided the academy to make up the squad today, but I do think we're seeing a few players playing their way out of his plans, so to speak. I think Poch did similar when he first came in.
Could definitely envision lads like Phillips getting a nod if we continue like today.
hes let himself down by bringing dier back into the fold.
Like Conte and every coach, Ange is only going to be as good as his players. You can't execute Angeball with Dier, Davies, Emerson and Hojbjerg building up from the back. It's painful to watch.
Our recruitment has been brilliant to give Ange some proper players to work with, but we set ourselves on fire again Chelsea and our lack of depth, which we all know about, is exposed.

I will give Ange a freebie today. He picked all the bog standard players from last season we all know aren't good enough. He gave them a chance to prove their worth to him and they didn't (bar Davies). Now going forward I hope Ange has it in him to at least have 1 or 2 youngsters get starts given we all know Dier etc is offering.
Davies was literally the best player today. I don't know if you noticed, but both of our starting CB's were missing.
So who do you start instead of Dier and Davies then?
No issues with the bloke.
Needs fill backinv.
Today we got fcuked but it's the nature of that beast.
Painful loss but one-up away from home is nothing but precarious

He's pretty much had a squad today that was bought for previous management and a previous style of play due to suspensions and injuries.
We weren't going to sort all that out in one window. It's not realistic. Shame today happened the way it did. Conceding two late goals is always a kick in the gut.
International break really come at the right time.
Let's hope he learns from this what his predecessors didn't pick up on after so many years.
Time to integrate the youth.

Who would you have started?
He had a few on the bench. Great excuse today to give them a chance.
If they make mistakes, blame it on injuries and take it on the chin.
We are meant to be rebuilding or in a transition. So why bring back players that arent going to be part of our future?
So why are you blaming his tactics and team selection then...
Lemina waa easily the most influential player today. Country mile.
We just don't find players like him. No idea why.
