Great shot from Jorgi

PETITION TO END ZONAL MARKING

At least he worked hard in this game. Ran himself to the ground pressing Brighton players. In his first few years here, it was a given that he would work like a horse and in last couple of years, that has dropped off. Hopefully, playing under Lampard and around these young players makes him rediscover his workrate even though he is older.

I think the minutes can be given at Chelsea itself instead of loaning him. Its Willian and Pedro for competition FFS. They can't keep getting away with sub-par performances when there is an option like Pulisic on the bench.

Yep i would rather see Mount in attacking positions really. Rather than the usual shitshow And throw CHO, Pulisic on into the mix in place of Willian

Why not play Pulisic or Callum?

Not Pedro and Willian. Never together! Valencia at home was enough. Pulisic, Callum, Mount - enough options for the wide positions.

Is there a way to incorporate margin for error in VAR?

A little bit yes. Mane practically stopped tracking back to Azpi. But there was a sense of calmness with which they approached the task of scoring the goals. They were no longer trying to attack in a state of frenzy. Just wish Bats or Mount finished!

The injuries to Christensen and Emerson left Lampard without an alternative

LET'S START A PETITION TO STOP ZONAL MARKING

Yes. I get that. But not like there are options at the moment. Hopefully Pulisic and CHO will dislodge Willian and Pedro. Can rotate Mount as well on the wings

Mount is playing on merit. But this talk of a one-man team would not be taking place now if it was not for Pedro coming on. Pedro and Willian together in attack is a disaster.

At this point - not putting a foot wrong isn't enough. Need to press and hurry mistakes out of the opponent, create passing moves through the middle and not just go from side to side and stick a cross.

To Jorginho's credit, he didn't push Barkley or hover around. He just shook Barkley's hands and wished him. Willian though....

Why ? He couldn't sign new players

Seriously. How were Azpi Alonso Pedro William playing for so long? Pulisic and Barkley should have been preferred. This performance takes all the enthusiasm from Saturday away in an instant I know there are players coming back but with slightly smarter management, this and the Sheffield results were avoidable

Can't blame him though. He did give the pen

Nah. I have zero interest in EL. Would rather be out altogether

Only bright spots Christensen and Tomori

It should never have reached this point. There should be a designated penalty taker and after what happened at United, there should have been a clear order

The penalty incident was down to management. How is there not a clear penalty taker? Jorgi took the one in the Super Cup

Add Azpi to the list

These three and Pedro shouldn't start. Never together again.

Fuck. This was avoidable. Have a clear penalty taker. I was literally screaming at Willian to leave the penalty box and not put Barkley under even more pressure. Fuck off!
