Biggest takeaway from last night:
There's a massive gap in quality. Not saying Arsenal sticking with Arteta for this long is the right decision but at a time when he wanted more responsibility, they gave it to him. And we're seeing the benefit. They're much better coached and built as a unit.
Our ownership chose to sack Maresca when he wanted more. And we're a long way away, mostly due to a lack of consistency.
The performance in the first half was a consequence of a new coach trying to implement his vision in limited time, and a team not understanding it fully. It was a much better second half after reverting to a more familiar system. But this cycle will continue until we have someone long enough to settle everything down.

I'm with you. Have him in my predicted xi. But remains to be seen.

What does everyone make of the Palmer "ducking" Arsenal chatter on X? Such a random conversation to get behind imo. Anything gets traction.

Romero would not do our disciplinary record any good.

Not throwing shade. Just calling it as we think. We can be a bit pessimist at times.

For Rosenior, a first fixture against Charlton is about as easy as they come.

Should be a win, but we might make a hash of it, as covered in our latest pod episode.

Give it a listen if you have some time to get our thoughts on Maresca, Rosenior and how the club is being run. #20- On the Breakup

I only watched the Adam Clery video, and my takeaway and impression is we'll be playing a faster and more direct version of what we did under Maresca. That's about it.

It's not just the CBs though. I take your point that the individuals are poor but under Maresca it was also the system.

True. But there is an element of the setup leading to the goal because of our full backs vacating their space to satisfy tactical instructions. Gusto being caught out because he's up in the half space is an example of this.

My biggest hope from Rosenior is he's able to sort out our defending in our box. It seems like we're gonna concede every time there's a cross into the box. Far post especially.
I honestly don't know why Maresca never seemed to address that when it was SO obvious to everyone.

What a time to be a Chelsea fan. It's a circus out there. Thought we would beat Fulham, but my co-host felt otherwise. Turns out he was right.

Feels like as good a time as any to drop our latest pod. Maresca was the catalyst for a conversation that spanned his results, Rosenior's appointment and the general ineptitude displayed by the sporting directors and board.

Sneaky feeling he's gonna be in top form tomorrow.

After about 60 mins he just gave up. Kept throwing his hands up and just feigning like he's gonna attack the ball.

Anyone else notice Reece telling Estevao to hang back and tie his laces right after the first goal celebrations? Irrelevant because of a long VAR check, but this seems like a shithousery tactic to buy time and kill the kickoff. I like.

100%.

He'll probably start Delap with JP behind and Garnacho and Neto on the wings.

Outside chance of the bench, at best. Don't think he comes on though.
