A few points about yesterdays game, a great improvement on the Wolves game though we did not really start to play until Azpilicueta scored.
Despite good performances yesterday I still don’t think Alonso, Jorgino and Hudson-Odoi (at wing-back) should be in the team in matches where our defence is likely to come under pressure as their defending is dubious. Where we have 70% possession no problem. Good to see Hudson-Odoi playing well, I think he has finally got over his injury, that has taken a time. Loftus-Cheek by comparison is still not fully recovered.
The collapse in confidence shown by Werner to me means he should not be in the team until he recovers, you can’t play in the premiership with a striker who seems to have his shoelaces tied together. I greatly hope form returns soon, maybe play him against Barnsley hoping he might find the net. I give Werner credit for not hiding, he is working his socks off.
I don’t understand why Tuchel took off our two best players on the day (Mount and Hudson-Odoi) when we were only leading by one goal – strange.
I think the Alonso badge kissing was to show that his problems were with Lampard, not the club.
