That's the hardest I've seen him press in a while. The long pre-season has done him a lot of good. His pressing is what led to the poor pass that Kova intercepted and ultimately scored.

That was for you, lad!

Agreed. By the end of the game, I think he lacked a bit of confidence. I also thought Haaland should have attacked the near post far harder than he did. Brilliant dribble, though.

It has definitely been a tough start to the year for him. I thought his distribution was excellent in the second half, though.

I don't think he deserved MOTM, but considering he looked dead on his feet in the last 15 of the first half, That was a hell of an effort.

Relaxxxxx... I liked what I saw, too, but Mahrez is a Premier League legend.

When was the last time Grealish even beat a fullback?

It's been a slow start to the season for him, albeit it's still very, very early. Stones needs to take advantage of these moments if he wants to get back to starting.

Very encouraging, bar a few loose passes. I like to think that the medic using the cold spray means it was just a knock.

Maybe it's a good thing I'm banned from the match threads because people criticizing him at half-time was mind-boggling. What's his position supposed to be to stop a ball behind him when Akanji gets spun like a top in midfield? He forced Nkunku to his weak foot perfectly throughout the entire...

We're so spoiled. There were a couple of loose passes/moments, but he was almost flawless. He capped it off with a good goal.

I don’t think we were NEARLY as bad as some were saying in the thread. Chelsea have spent a billion pounds in a few short years. They have quality all over the park. We’re playing away, and riding your luck is almost inevitable at times. I saw a lot more good than bad. Hopefully, Savinho is just...

He wasn't NEARLY as bad as some 'fans' are saying... Worked his ass off. Got the ball upfield all game. You can't leave him 1v1, which opens up that pass to KDB or whoever's in that left half-space.

My honest reaction to that tweet:

Contain Palmer, and you contain Chelsea, IMO. As others have mentioned, I'm worried about our midfield's lack of defensive ability today. I really thought Nunes could be that guy with his pace, physicality, and the number of tackles he averaged at Wolves, and maybe he still can be, but it's been...

Of course not. I do believe that continuing to play Walker last season was a mistake, though, as evidenced by his being the main culprit in Madrid's goal at our place and United's second goal in the FA Cup.

It's probably to be expected, but there's no Cancelo on the bench, either. Saudi Arabia is our only hope of getting some money back from him.

Foden is my favorite player, but I can still be objective about his performances without being any less of a blue than others.

Backing Lewis is being negative now? It's like when I got banned from the Euro final match thread for saying Bellingham was playing better than Foden. Lol.
