So easy to defend against. Predictable, safe, slow, boring, boring football. Fuck off.

Azpilicueta smdh

This is shit

They are going to make it that more difficult now they’ve got their goal

Final ball from everyone just awful

The levels of nativity and reckless from someone as experienced as Koulibaly is shocking.

Kinda mental we once had a midfield of Lampard, Ballack, and Makekele.

Are you fucking joking?

Thought it was refreshing to see a team that delivered as many through balls as United. Always looked forward vs passing it backwards until De Gea or the CBs are caught under pressure.

I think its telling he's been seen as a priority over Mount regarding a new long term deal. Maybe that is why the latter is in a poor rut and his body language being shit.

Brighton are genuinely Chelsea on 'ultra attacking" whereas Chelsea toggles between "balance" and "Defensive".

That, and maybe Tuchel has finally had enough of Jorginho.

Havertz at CAM?

The thought of teams pressing Zakaria scares me immensely. It's like we are destined to have misfiring strikers and players so limited on the ball.

I mean you get what you deserve. Midfield was a glaring issue for years and it was made incredibly apparent last season. Completely ignored by Tuchel. Strap in lads. Going to be a loooooooooooooooong season, particularly when, not if, when Kovacic and Kante aren't available for the majority of it.

Could be Saul bad.

Kante has shown to be injury prone since the Lampard era. Kovacic also has a chronic hamstring issue since 2 years ago. Again, it is incredibly naïve to think they would all of a sudden not become injury prone anymore. It's also so blatantly obvious that when one of them aren't on the pitch, we struggle immensely. It's also evident that should be doing better than Jorginho. Look at Saints second goal. Tell me if that would ever happen to Rodri, Fabinho, Bentacur, Casemiro, or Partey?

I'm sorry, what? Kante and Kovacic missed 31 games combined last season. It was incredibly apparent that when both of them were not in the lineup, we struggled. Ruben is no where near good enough to play in the pivot at a high level and he too has his injury problems. Jorginho also continues to be an utter liability and it's made more apparent with Kante or Kovacic aren't covering for him. It was incredibly evident we needed another quality midfielder this season. So blatantly obvious.

He had months to sort this out. It's on him and only him. Not once did he reiterate to Boehly his desire to add quality to midfield. Only after the Leeds match.

Which makes him a good fit for us, no? I like Alvarez simply because he has something we desperately need in midfield. Alvarez partnering Kovacic make since.

But Ajax play a progressive system, no? If he is the 'glue' to their team, how do they have a DM who isn't comfortable on the ball a component to their progressive and attacking football?

I just want Jorginho off the pitch. Saints 2nd goal is giving me nightmares.

Unbelievable we had 2.5 months to address it and nothing. This transfer window will either be a 6/10 or a 9/10. We need that CM to decide.

Good

This wouldn't happen against any DM in the Top 6. We are so far behind the back its pathetic.
