closed Brighton 1-3 Chelsea

[!Hazard! 3,394]

People acting like world's about to end as usual over here at TC but I'm really impressed with Werner. 

Come to think of it, every time we've had an in-form striker over the past 10 years we've won the title...

[DDA 9,570]

Werner looks pure class. He is head and shoulders above the rest. 

Havertz had glimpses of whats to come but he looks lost in the system at the moment. 

No fluidity to our play. Hit and hope bullshit.

Hampered by the average performances by RLC and Mount.

Timo looking the real star.

 

Kai seems disinterested...or out of position.

if we can give him the service he will score loads this season!

[Magic Lamps 11,450]

Alonso, RLC terrible. Christensen Zouma look rock solid so far. Passing is super rusty. Wtf are they training. Weird approach to the game playing on the counter. Will be a nervy 2nd half

[Alabama 1,992]

No loftus cheek for second half pls...

Thumbs up to Werner and Zouma they really look up for it...

[Pizy 17,860]

How does a midfield containing Jorginho and Kante allow play to be dominated by a relegation caliber side? Just how?

We've been forced to become a counter attacking small team by Brighton. Not Liverpool, not City. Brighton!

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

All the excitement down to drain lol, it’s just as poor as it could get, Werner is the only decent one on the pitch.

Kante Jorginho

     Mount

Havertz    Werner

    Giroud

 

Wake up Frank

 

Wake up

Wernes is going to be big player for us

[bigbluewillie 1,806]

What an appalling half from us, Brighton can feel unlucky to be losing.

Werner what a beast, love the guy on the other hand Havertz looks lost, doesn't know to shit or bust.

Then only one's who's performed out there for us is Timo and Mount

[Hutcho 8,443]

Think CHO for Ruben. Or put giroud on and move Werner wide.

With some better passing Werner would have been in a couple of times.

Werner has looked very good. Havertz hasn't got into the game yet though.

[nofacej 132]

The main positive to take away from the performance so far is that we have so many players set to return from injury or integrate into the squad that we won't be playing with this horrible formation again and at least have something to look forward to.

I think out of position. Someone tell Lampard to leave players in the position they are good at

[DDA 9,570]

Think nerves and a lack of pre-season with new signings thrown in for their first game is showing big time.

[Superblue 6,331]

Werner looks a potential superstar. He's so rapid and lively.

Havertz I think will take longer to get adjusted to the league. Everything he does looks tidy and effortless, but you can see he's not quite on the same wavelength as the rest at present. I think he'll definitely be more suited to playing centrally long term.

[0007 511]

We are piss poor.Can't press, can't pass, can't play out from the back. It's not just the players, Brighton's team looks like  the better coached team. The early signs are not good. 

Loftus-Cheek is done, just done. We overhyped him, it's not just the injury - he is miles off the pace of the game. Academy player or not - he doesn't have place on the pitch. Mount as always rushes things too much.

I am beyond pissed, maybe even disappointed...

What happened to RLC, I’m more concerned than frustrated

He's always been better on paper than in practice, he had a few months under Sarri (who doesn't get the credit he deserves for his work with Ruben) where everything seemed to be finally coming together for him.

Sadly it looks like back to square one, if Gallagher shines at West Brom he's gone.

No man to man in defense. We 'll be slaughtered.
