Chelsea 1-0 Palace
Can't see Hodgson being there much longer, they're in shocking form.
They could sack him and then reappoint him in April to save them.
Bump
I love there being football over Christmas EXCEPT Aston Villa matches. So I propose going forward we don't play from around 20th of December til at least New Year's
Tried dribbling out of trouble when it really wasn't on and gave them the ball in our box. Someone had to bail him out and give away the corner, which we obviously conceded from anyway.
We've got away with conceding goals this season by outscoring teams in most matches but our inability to keep clean sheets against middling to lower clubs especially is a concern to me. The second half of last season was built on a solid defensive foundation which seems to have disappeared. The recent performances against Man City and Arsenal show we can still do it but I would like to see more defensive resilience overall.
Yeah I'd much prefer Konsa in the middle too. You can see he's frustrated whenever we concede a soft goal there and he's thinking "I could have stopped that"
They hadn't scored for 450 minutes or something and then we go and let them score 3. We posed pretty much no attacking threat in the 2nd half. Played at a snails pace thinking it was a piece of piss at 2-0 and then couldn't get going again once they did. Too many passengers today. I can kind of forgive the ones that aren't good enough like Dendoncker but others like Luiz, McGinn, Ramsey, Watkins etc. should be doing far more.
It seems like Emery has decided he is happy with Konsa as the RB. And Ramsey at full flow last season was definitely good enough to start LM, although agree he hasn't been good post injury yet.
