That's cos he's a gawp.

Must admit, he does look like a gormless mouthbreather

I think he is a poor player personally. But hey he scores penalties.

Bit harsh. He's very talented - it's just whether he has what it takes mentally I think.

Took his penner well today under pressure.

and bert troutman would have held that shot for the third goal .ffs.

Your fishing mate :-)

Was just one of them games where no matter how many you score the other team is gonna get another. I thought Foden and Akanji had a great game. Ultimately defensive mistakes cost us but not a bad point in the end.

Yep

it felt like an old-school game of next-goal wins, Only for your mum shout, if you don't come in NOW am going to stick a knife in the ball hahahaha

Liverpool first game of season. Hardly a test of were they're at. Spurs was away.

Just saying they won't play like their cup final today when the teams I mentioned walk into Stamford bridge.

Agree with this. I thought they were really small time, We'll they are really aren't they?

It had the feel of a cup game for them, It was like Fleetwood drawing us in the FA Cup...They spent about 2 billion quid and still carrying on like the "underdogs".

Plastic bastards.

I agree. He took one from similar position recently, think it was at OT. I thought right, he’s on free kicks now great.. but then Walker took one against Young Boys, was a decent attempt… unlike todays effort

A defender should never be over a free kick. Walker would of pulled rank as captain. He should concentrate on defending.

 

[Bald fraud]

Ah well done and dusted now should have won but they always looked like they’d get another throughout the game. Hope they kick on and finish above the scum

 

[blue cigar]

They flooded the midfield and went man for man against our wingers, a great game with defenders under immense pressure, pressure that will lead to mistakes.
Chavs won't play that well for a good while and neither will sterling, one of those games when the opposition plays at top tempo due to playing a great side like us.
With Kevin and Jonny boy we win that game, move on, we're comfortably the best side in the country

 

[jimharri]

Calm down folks. I get it; we're all pissed off with the meh display this afternoon. But let's try to keep the squabbling off the forum. If you want to disagree with another poster, and can't (for some unknown reason) put them on ignore, please take the squabbling to pms, please.

 

[Frankie lad]

Best ever? Nowhere near. It's not even the best this calendar year.

Pulsating from start to finish mate.Littered with mistakes yes but non stop commitment from both sides.End to end throughout.It was fantastic entertainment even though we didn’t pull the three points off.
I saw the 3-4 at Spurs the best comeback this was as good as that.
Not perfect no but amazingly entertaining.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Credit to Chelsea for having a go, unlike most other teams. We definitely were the masters of our own downfall though, where the goals were concerned, very sloppy at the back.

 

[1961_vintage]

stop digging you gormless ****

Congrats. 1st prick I've put on ignore on BM.

 

[SWPISHOME]

A defender should never be over a free kick. Walker would of pulled rank as captain. He should concentrate on defending.

Tripper, Alexander Arnold, Kolarov, Irwin, Baines, ect all say hello...

I would have preferred if Walker just put his laces through it, Pissing rain, Perfect surface for a thunder bastard.

I was at the game today - came from the States and brought my three kids (and husband too). We sat in the Chelsea family section right next to all you guys - and you were awesome. My 9 yo spent the first ten minutes just listening to you chant/sing.

It was a great game for my older teenage kids who aren’t necessarily into football, but my youngest and I were crushed City hold on. You all are so lucky to see this on a regular basis - either at home or away. It still doesn’t seem real that I got to see these players in person.

My random thoughts as a new American fan. Midfield looked a mess today. I know everyone was criticizing the defense, but the midfield just seemed really disjointed. Never felt like we had control. Akanji is built like a tank. I don’t see how Kova can slalom through those defenders and stay on his feet - his center of gravity is crazy.

They also drew with arsenal at the bridge, I know the spurs game wasn't at there place but so far from the current top 4 they've not rolled over for any team they've played. It seems to be the lower teams they play against that they don't turn up, Our defence was shit today and we only have ourselves to blame.

 

[1961_vintage]

Fair result in the end but so many poor individual performances from us.

We can definitely do better. Not sure Chelsea can though.

 

[lazerblue]

Don't do that.You don't know how I earn my money.Everybody has the right to sell their abilities to the high bidder and that is exactly what I do.

mmmm

 

[rumone]

games like today i really miss gundy!!!!!

 

[SWPISHOME]

We can definitely do better. Not sure Chelsea can though.

That's the thing isn't it, That's as good as you'll get from Chelsea, As for us we were way off our usual standards and that's why it was an entertaining game.

 

[dobingsdobber]

mmmm

Meaning??
