Chelsea (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

It's on Pep. Flogged the same players for weeks and now quite a few of them look absolutely knackered.
Who can he bring in? Look at Arsenal's bench (even with injuries they have) then at our bench, EDS players. Bad squad planning even with 2 afcon absentees.
 
Terrible subs.
Best Haaland's played without scoring.
Doku for Reijnders, good sub, Doku was needed and Reijnders kept giving the ball away carelessly (could have been any of Foden, Cherki or Reijnders didn’t mind who, they were all at it with the carelessness).

Khusanov for Gvardiol, Gvardiol got injured.

Dias for Aké, Dias got injured.

We had nobody else on the bench. The rest were all EDS players.

Or you bringing on Trafford for Haaland and going long or something?

You have to give at least one of the young uns a go from the bench. It was obvious for anyone to see that everyone was looking fucked after 65-70 mins but Pep has no faith in the bench that he just leaves the attacking players on to wilt and it cost us. Mukasa couldn't have been any less effective than Foden today and would've brought vital energy to the team. I'm sure most other prem managers would've chucked one or two on today
 
Didn't see enough to be chucking in the towel just yet, but didn't see enough to think we will chase Arsenal down or that we can do things in the CL.
 
Very disappointing result, but with both Dias and Gvardiol missing, it was inevitable that Chelsea would score. The team looks very tired and the glut of fixtures and with the injuries ramping up, the squad doesn't have the depth to cope.
 
Cant see that than anything other than 2 points dropped, however shite we were.

Thought bernardo did ok.
Rodders looked classy but knackered.
Kush when he came on was solid enough
Great goal by rjeinders

The rest … fuck me.

Haaland is on one of those runs where when not scoring is contributing fuck all. He has credit aplenty but he needs to ‘show’ more when its not going for him in front of goal, rather than appearing sulky.

Foden and chirki were as bad as each other.

A little finesse in the area and the right ball and that games out of site rather than conceding so late against a very, very average chelsea

If arsenal dont win this league …
 
Things happen, lets move on

Win the next game and then the next one

I am 100% with you

But we need to do a player count first ? 2 more injuries to main players also how the hell do you put back any sort of energy in the players in 2 days, Monday rest day, Tuesday training Game on Wednesday
 
Frustrating game today. We had plenty of opportunities to win that, just like we had on Wednesday and picked the wrong ball or played the right ball poorly.

They were shite and looked out of ideas yet they’ve come away with a point.

We can’t keep on letting 3 points drift away from us because it’ll be too late
 
We ain’t winning this league.
The squad doesn’t have the mentality or the physicality.
They also don’t have the killer instinct or the mental aptitude to see out a game.
Our decision making at times is baffling.
We’re still miles off where we need to be.
That’s the poorest Chelsea I’ve seen in a long while and we’ve handed them a point wrapped in a big bow.
The whole league is piss poor and I think it’s masking how good we actually are.
We’re still miles off it.
 
Entire team looks out of gas.

None of the team besides Rodri & Khusanov had any fight in them.. we were outhustled and outplayed played from the starting whistle to the end whistle.

Shocking.. absolutely shocking

DonnaTrauma As good as he is, that was horrifying for the Chelsea goal.. Traumatic 3 chances and he couldn't save/ clear it.

I'm not giving up but we're a 75-85 point team.. that sadly just isn't enough to win the league this season! Just don't see us getting 90 points this season.

Congrats Arsenal or Villa..
Not giving up? You folded at the first fucking fart by the sounds of it.
 
Needed the second goal from one of our breaks. That said, I thought we were unlucky to draw. Without stating the obvious, to win the league you need to pass the multiple tests presented you. Sunderland on a cold Thursday night, hold on to 1-0 leads against anybody, win away at title contenders etc. We are built to score goals but a side with Cherki, Foden, Doku, Haaland and possibly young Nico (our find of the season) sometimes looks lightweight defensively. On the other hand we have the second best defensive record in the League, conceding 4 goals more than Arsenal, so maybe I am talking through my arse.
 
Doku for Reijnders, good sub, Doku was needed and Reijnders kept giving the ball away carelessly (could have been any of Foden, Cherki or Reijnders didn’t mind who, they were all at it with the carelessness).

Khusanov got Gvardiol, Gvardiol got injured.

Dias got Aké, Dias got injured.

We had nobody else on the bench. The rest were all EDS players.

Or you bringing on Trafford for Haaland and going long or something?
So we hung on then?
I'm bringing off Bernardo, not Reijinders.
Smart arse.
 
Since winning 4 out of 4 titles and the treble and being on top of the world we should have put our foot on the neck of our opponents and gone out and bought seriously quality players instead of the potential in Khusanov, Savinho, Doku, Marmoush, Reis, Echeverri etc.

We didnt have a recognised left back for about 10 years and now we don't have a recognised right back. As good as Nunes has been over the course of a season players like him are ultimatley not good enough. We are filling round holes with square pegs and it works for most of the time but not all of the time. Could be our second season without a trophy and although I can live with that will it make Rodri sign a new contract, will the owners be happy with their return and will it fill that new stand.

We have a lack of quality and yet we have the best goalscorer in world football who we fail time and time again to get him through on goal.
 
Doku for Reijnders, good sub, Doku was needed and Reijnders kept giving the ball away carelessly (could have been any of Foden, Cherki or Reijnders didn’t mind who, they were all at it with the carelessness).

Khusanov got Gvardiol, Gvardiol got injured.

Dias got Aké, Dias got injured.

We had nobody else on the bench. The rest were all EDS players.

I thought Lewis could have given us a little bit more bite in midfield tbh. However, if he’d have come on and the result the same then he’d be getting the same pelters Pep is
 
Frustration rather than anger at that.
Worried about Ruben and Gvardiol injuries.
League probably a bit beyond us now unless we spend in Jan.
Chelsea were shit but somehow managed to nick a point.
We are way to nice. O'reilly selling himself so easily. Just fucking clean Gusto out.
Ake.. awful now. No legs at all.
Bernardo runs around but offers little.
Foden so so poor again.
Haaland dis ok.
Cherki did ok.
My motm..Nunes
 
Outplayed from start to finish?

What absolute fucking bollocks.

Jeez.

Whopper
Absolute crock of shit
Embarassing.

Facts are Chelsea outworked us on the pitch today..

If you think we did enough today.. I disagree

We need much more effort and more courage..

And you can call me crazy but we need 1-2 more starting midfielders, one of them a DM.
