On Pep for me.
Akanji in midfield doesn’t work, we can only assume Stones isn’t fully fit.
Foden on the right is just ridiculous.
Alvarez and KDB in midfield doesn’t work either.
Big lad miles off it.
I did think Chelsea got there tactics spot on though and Pep seems to struggle against Poch.
Think we’re going to struggle against all of the teams that we’ve already dropped points against this season.
We won’t win the league unfortunately.

We’ve only beat 4 teams currently in the top 10 this season. We’ve been pretty poor in the big games

Fucking some clapping Sterling and Palmer off the pitch, disgraceful, why?

For the 'penalty' at the end one of the reasons it rolled down his arm is because he had hold of Dias shirt and pulling him down. Two fouls in one moment but VAR couldn't see any of them

If Haaland had his hat-trick it wouldnt have mattered some will say. Regardless of that it was a penalty. That the red tops get

This. Not enough is being made of the shirt pull. In fact nothing is being made of it so they can focus on the fairly weak handball which was still him controlling it with his hand.
this shirt pull was a clear penalty

Nothing? It might not match your record but 4 FA Cups and 5 Community Shields would be something most fans would love.Hubris from you.

Lol.

I didn't clap either but I didn't boo them off either. Bit small time from some of our support.

Can't believe people are slating Doku.

He was fairly good for 60 mins but had nothing the last 30. The amount of times he was fronted 1v1 and just stopped and stood on it for 10 seconds. Then he had 2 on him. Killed everything.

Haven’t seen replays yet so won’t comment on the penalty decisions.

I thought we set up wrong. Foden has been immense in the middle and was scoring goals so the decision to move him out wide today was very strange. I thought it was even more strange to keep him out wide when it looked like Alvarez had his boots on the wrong feet. Bernardo really made a difference when he came on.

I don’t like Akanji stepping into midfield. I think it exposes us. Stones and even Lewis both perform better in that role for me. I’m not criticising Akanji there though, he’s doing as he’s told.

The tempo was way, way too slow and we invited pressure needlessly. Chelsea overran us too often through the middle and when we had the ball we waited patiently for them to get back and set up as they wanted.

Haaland was woeful looked like he couldn’t be arsed. Doku even worse, sadly. Too ponderous, then running down blind alleys. He’s not letting the ball go at the right time.

31 shots, 5 on target. We can complain as much as we like about bent refs but that stat is fucking pathetic.

Bad day at the office. We’ll still do it, though come the end of the season.

Doku makes all the wrong decisions consistently. That is a big worry

Charity shields FFS.. you won one of them because we couldn't play ourselves
4 F A Cups yeah that's not bad. But the top teams win the Premier League
