Twice that's happened to us now in recent weeks

Yep and he does leave his leg in a bit. I thought when hecwas on loan that he would have been a good buy for us post CPFC probably would havd got fairly cheaply as Chelsea were in limbo with endless manager changes. More effective then Nunes and would really help Rodri with his 100% effort and fitness..ah well

I think playing two youngsters down our left sude was a mistake today. I know Pep did not have much of an option for left back but Doku needed to track James and he didn't. Grealish would have done.

We didn’t have it in our locker to go compact for a while and make us hard to beat. Sterling was up for it and gave Walker a torrid time all game. It’s a head scratcher he won’t be near the England camp this week whilst Rashford will be stinking the place out.

his best game for Chelsea!

Pep fucked that game up for me, Doku is not a Stamford Bridge away player at this stage of his development and Akanji isn't John Stones.

Dias and Josko made dreadful errors which in fairness I can write off as a bad day at the office. We still scored 4 and didn't play that badly, but fuck me if we're that sloppy against the scousers we'll have a bad time.

I think we need to start playing Jack and Kova while Johnny is out injured. The system needs a tweak. I'd feel better with Aké in our back 4/3 aswell, he might not be as good going forward as Walker, Akanji or Gvardiol but he's sure as shit a better defender.

Did Curcella ever get booked for that dive ? It was ten times worse than Doku one, which tbf didn't seem that bad to me

 

[mayo31]

went to the game yesterday and when there it felt to me that we were too open and exposed at times which was strange

Good game to witness though

Yeh that would've worked, still I'll take a point. Hate the mornings after a defeat

I’m not that great in the morning after we win!

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

I never felt comfortable at any moment, (which is quite rare under Guardiola), and even at 4-3, I could still envisage a shock defeat.
Too many peripheral performances and a few rare individual errors that were inevitably punished

The only time we seemed to be our normal selves, was during a brief period when it was 3-2, and squandered a few opportunities,

No harm done and Chelsea will improve as the season continues

How on earth can you score four away and not win? Great match nevertheless.

How can you concede 4 and not lose too.

 

[Grassland Blue]

Difference is they have a handful of goal scorers to call on. Upfront Haaland and Foden seem like our best bet for goals

Alvarez too.
