They were pathetic today in that first half - to start the match as shockingly as they started, then Sanchez's idiocy. They were making mistakes galore.
They were better in second half when it was even up in numbers, but still didn't create anywhere near enough (giving allowances for the worse rain in second half).
I am still not convinced by them. Think they can get fourth at best. Liverpool, Arsenal and City (still) are definitely better sides.
They also need to keep Palmer fit and it's a worry for them, he's been picking up injuries. They're half the team without him. They could do with Lavia being fit too, and playing Pedro a bit deeper.
Far too many players too, and Maresca makes tactical and sub errors. Jury still out for me. What do you think @soul24rage

Imagine spending so much money and still ignoring the positions you needed the most (GK and CB)!!

They have a million centre-backs yet none who are that good, it's bizarre.
Same with goalkeepers, actually.
Someone needs to tell these lads quality beats quantity.

Currently, the team is top 4 right now imo, but there is still a gap between the top 2 and Chelsea.
They do need a better GK and need a better manager than Maresca. Should be doing a lot better with the squad he has.

Too many players too. It's hard to build chemistry. Tbf that's not Maresca's fault.
I think you probably rate their overall squad more than I do, but yes, they have some good players, mostly in midfield and attack, and I like Reece James.
Sounds like you rate them above City, or at least near City (gap between Chelsea and top two you said, and not top three).

Surprised they never went for Maignan. Sanchez is such a horrible Gk.
