Chelsea (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[jollylescott]

I had a feeling that playing the same team week after week was a big risk. Now our first eleven look exhausted, and the situation is compounded with injuries.

A word for Rodri. He was superb in the first half but didn't have the legs in the second half.

 

[Ivan Lentil]

Didn’t take advantage of some great situations and failed to put the game to bed. Battled on admirably and were a bit unlucky to concede a scruffy goal. Beyond poor refereeing was a big contributory factor

We’re running on fumes though, Khaldoon needs to spend some fucking money. This Semenyo saga is dragging on, are we on the verge of failing to complete yet another big transfer by penny pinching ??

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

He doesn't seem to trust the squad players any more to give key men rests during tough periods in the season.
Arteta uses his squad more.
We've done well to be this close up to now. Be surprised if we keep it interesting until May

 

[Eoiyflem]

Just fuck off. Sunderland missing 7 players and Chelsea getting managed by the underage coach and we reel off that fucking bollocks. Absolutely fucking wank. Shite

 

[TinFoilHat]

We're not good enough to win the league simple as that, and especially now we've got a thoroughly depleted squad. A lot of our victories this season have masked over bang average performances. Who didn't see that equaliser coming tonight, it was so obvious, another half where we can't get any control and we let the opposition start to dominate us. We look absolutely fucked energy wise but have zero options left to replace this current starting eleven. Foden and Haaland need a break, both playing so poorly at present, Cherki as bad today.
Bring your boots on Wednesday, you might get a game

Would be piss funny if we did because the Tarquins bottled it as usual.

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

I’ve always thought that despite his number of goals. I would imagine he’s getting fed up feeding on scraps and forcing his chances. He makes so many great runs but our players just don’t see him.

Spot on.

 

[paulsimpson]

Confirmed what I've been saying since the summer. We're just not ready to go for the league yet. We're still in the title race until we're not, and there's a long way to go, but this is a new squad experiencing a lot of change and we're gonna have days where nothing clicks.

Thought Pep made a mistake starting O'Reilly - the kid had looked goosed for weeks and it was him being caught upfield and tired that resulted in Chelsea's goal. All the injuries coming at the same time as Afcon is hurting us as well. Just take that on the chin, finish as close to Arsenal as we can, and get ready for the title next season.

And get into the market straight away . Need backup

 

[citytill1die84]

Daniel Sturridge fucking hell

 

[dave_blue12]

Not good enough.

 

[HolisticJim]

one of the worst second halves we’ve played that.

Foden and Cherki a disgrace and the defending for the goal was schoolboy.

Any title chance gone for sure now

That's the spirit

 

[ufo]

We missed Savinho today

Yes we did , against physical team we need quick tricky light weight players. Sure he would’ve done more than jerky and foden today

 

[dctid]

The football is over complicated, slow and predictable

 

[WallyA]

We will struggle with these new injuries now to Dias and Gvardiol.

Plenty have been ran ragged, those last 15 minutes was damning.

Semenyo, Anderson, Guehi need some new signings.

We also might need to use the academy more.

What does Mfuni offer, we need more defenders.

Can Mukasa, Heskey and McAidoo help us, see what they offer.

 

[shemnel]

Arsenal are literally an extended Rice or Gabriel injury away from getting 3rd in the league.

This is literally nonsense

 

[Blue Hefner]

It’s a good job Pedro Neto had a shit game or it could have been much worse

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

How can you say that with Arsenals defensive record ?. Besides you’re making out they’re better than Rice, Odegaard and Zubamendi.

What defensive record? We have conceded 4 goals less than Arsenal in the PL. I think we played well, especially in the first half. In the second we missed too many chances and made a mess of multiple chances. Rodri, Foden, and Cherki are far better than those 3 players.

 

[Fordyboy46]

The club should breathalyse Foden and Cherki.

Both utter cack, Foden a real concern as he's reverting back to last seasons showing

 

[Bald fraud]

Oh well at least we’re not looking ominous anymore

 

[ufo]

Daniel Sturridge fucking hell

Can’t stand that greedy ****

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Not good enough that. Was coming all second half, the ease they got through was a joke. Felt like a last season performance. Gonna be a few more of those I think.
