Geez, another Chelsea let down. Draw against Forest, who are probably the worst team in the league.

Havertz - so little impact on the game, not enough running, not enough sticking a foot in and making something happen. Sell him to Bayern this summer.  He's not man enough for the Premier League.

Aubamayang and Sterling, two guys who need to use their speed to run behind defenders, and neither are doing it. Neither are working very hard, either. Sit them both down. I've seen enough.  Neither has scored in 4 months.

Pulisic and Ziyech (despite the limited time ...) were the best in attack.  Mount works very hard, but he's lost his touch a bit, he's missing his best pass opportunities.  He should be rested a bit.

I liked seeing 4 in the back instead of 3/5 against an opponent who doesn't score (only 12 goals all season).  It showed some attacking intent.  I thought that Zakaria, the big athletic midfielder deserves more game time.  I thought Chukwemeka is another big athletic midfielder who deserves more opportunity.

Jorginho is a possession guy, but he doesn't create opportunities like Cesc Fabregas used to do in the same role.  Connor Gallagher is green, loses his touch too much, fouls a lot on defense, but he hustles and plays hard.  Not a starter, but a good guy to bring on when your midfield gets lethargic later in the game.

We like possession, but we take WAY too long getting the ball upfield.  We need to be more direct.  Sell Aubamayang in January.  Sell Havertz in the summer.  Let the contracts of Kante, Jorghi and Thiago Silva expire.  Sign a better goalkeeper in the summer.
