Chelsea (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

I suppose that was a good game if you’re a neutral but Im actually pretty pissed off about It. Suicidal defending and absent midfield. Chelsea are a bang average team and there is no way we should be scoring four against them and not winning.
Gvardiol had a shocker and Dias had possibly his worst game for us. Walker needs to give his head a shake. He was schooled by Sterling today and his only thought was to get himself booked, or worse.
I know I’ve asked this before but what exactly does Grealish contribute to this team. A total waste of money.
Rant over !
 
It might have been a great game for the neutral but from our perspective it's two points thrown away. You just can't score four goals away from home and not win it's ridiculous.

For all the wanking about Gvardiol I'm not impressed.....and yes I know he's still settling in. The biggest problem is our midfield. Without De Bruyne and Stones it's as weak as fuck. Nunes and Kovacic are well below the level we are used to and as for Phillips, he's a lost cause. No decent midfield protecting it means our defence creaks when it's put under pressure and boy was it today. Individually and collectively they were shocking.

Looking on the positive side were still top by a point and we normally get better as the season progresses. I guess it's just raw after scoring so late not to win it so I may be being overly critical.

I don't remember Sterling EVER having a good game against Liverpool, but he turned into fucking Ronaldinho against us and celebrates? Maybe im wrong but i kind of remember him not celebrating against Liverpool? Anyway, we should have controlled the ball better and not allowed for what always happens with Poch teams, transitions. I think that's where we missed Stones.

I think he and Foden destroyed them in one of those covid era games. He got a goal and an assist or was it two goals?
 
We didn’t excel in any part of the game. They worked harder, were better organised, and faster with the ball.

I think that’s probably the worst defending I’ve seen for a pep team. Very one paced and edgy all game.

Hopefully we will see this game as a turning point in our season later on…

Liverpool game is now very important…another draw wouldn’t kill us but it’s a great opportunity to stay ahead.
 
A crazy game, not like us to get involved in a cup-tie style game.

We looked vulnerable when they played it quick, Dias shaky all round and one of the hardest afternoon’s Kyle has had in a long time.

Thought we were on top in that second half so gutted to get pegged back.

Alty gave us the penalty and next to nothing else. He repeatedly gave them advantage for nothing challenges and then pulled it back for the foul if they fucked it up. An identical scenario late on with Gvardiol was ignored.

What the actual fuck would Gallagher need to do to get booked in that game?

Forensic examination of our penalty as per the norm, “it’s soft” their staple go to.

A points not a disaster though.
 
Don’t think we can afford two strikers against better sides, it leaves us too exposed in midfield. Fine against the lesser teams because it gives us more options going forward. Madrid or Munich will tear us a new one if we play that wide open against them.
