just one of them games, nothing to lose sleep over.

this 3atb formation seems to struggle with creating chances as fluidly as when we played with a back 4.

many positives again about this game though. Kovacic has really grown into his role and is getting the confidence to play those hollywood passes. Tomori barely put a foot wrong today and looks to me like he'd be ahead of Zouma in the pecking order once Rudi is fit. Willian had a good game as did Jorginho. Alonso showed flashes of his old self and didn't do badly either.

onto liverpool next. If we have rudi and kante fit for the match I'm confident we can make them work hard to get a result at the bridge.
