Well done Jackson

Can only sympathize with him. To have that much talent and not get to use it because of something he has little control over. I don't get why people want to sneer at him for it. Just wish him well him and move on. Maybe the club will move on past James given how frequent the injuries have become, but until then he is still a Chelsea player. Hopefully he is back soon to provide Gusto backup. It's not like Malo is immune to injury either. And you don't want to know who will play RB if the latter also becomes unavailable.

Fucking hell that left wing is so exposed Mudryk proving a useless sub so far. And Palmer is knackered. Poor Cucurella

Come on James. One more goal contribution (for us) for old times sake.

James on for Gusto.

Yeah, sad to say...he is not at full level. We should take care of our players better. Don't want him to become plagued with burnout like Mount did

Yep. Strange sub. As if Arsenal are a pub side leaving acres of space behind.

Still don't get why Mudryk was brought on for the left hand side. We need to put more pressure on the left wing with Saka imperious

Arsenal are going to continue rampaging on that left wing. Cucurella with his hands full

Repeat.

Neto!!!

Mudryk? Why Mudryk. When has Mudryk ever been called on to turn a game around.

No marking because Madueke failed to track back this time. Time to bring on more attack minded options. Wouldn't mind James coming in for Gusto either.

Terrible marking from Gusto. Zero help from Madueke.

Best effort from Madueke so far

I know Madueke works hard defensively, but can't Neto do the same and more?

Unfortunately Felix looks like the only fallback option to Palmer., because of his play style. Unless Maresca wants to be bold and play Nkunku behind Jackson. With Sancho replacing Madueke.

Palmer doesn't seem fully fit. Blowing hot and cold

Jackson working hard these last few minutes

Personally think it should be Neto, and Sancho on the other wing, if Palmer isn't fit. I would also argue that if Palmer isn't fit, it might be better to start Nkunku instead of Jackson. Jackson plays better with Palmer in behind. Lavia and Caicedo in the center again.

Basically Madueke contributes with defensive work on the wing. But based on the United game, Neto can do all that and more. Can easily see him taking that role.

Becoming more obvious why Enzo is on the bench. Happened last season too., with Caicedo and Gallagher displacing him to take the team on a winning run. He was brought in with view of building a team around. Not seeing what he brings to the starting 11. Nowhere near Fabregas levels of creativity. Poor defensively. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

He's been fantastic in the 2nd half Never knew he was such a hard worker. Up and down both ends of the pitch doing his bit defensively. Him and Caicedo were fantastic.

Fucking hell Enzo...free shot to take the lead there.

Credit to Mudryk for not getting in the way of the shot
