Stats

Annoying. We weren't great tbh, especially first half. Improve second half. Auba should have come off for Broja imo earlier. He did not have much chances but he did not help with the press. Chalobah was brilliant though. Has been putting in consistent performances regularly now. Brilliant game he had. Happy that Arsenal dropped points finally. Made me a bit happier this wekend.

I think he accepted that already. He knows he will never be a automatic starter. He has started a lot more games than I imagined and he probably himself would have imagined.

Kepa has been brilliant last few games and deserves to be no.1, but sometimes I am of thinking that you sometimes have to play the team that suits the opposition. Brentford targeted Martinez in their game against United earlier on in season by constantly lumping the ball forward and getting set pieces. Kepa will start, but Brentford are a team that have switched their style of football since being in the PL and now very direct. They will lump balls forward and target a lot of set pieces. I noticed against Villa, that even a lot of set pieces they won but a lot of their headers glanced wide. Brentford will be even more dangerous on set pieces and part of me is thinking that Mendy may be the better choice for this game. Even I know this won't happen. He just is a lot more commanding in air than Kepa.

Mount is getting back to his best. Our best player in our past 3 games now. Brilliant free kick. We rode our luck sometimes. But fairplay. Kepa was brilliant too. He does scare me on corners though wow 😄 Also special mention to RLC. Thought he was brilliant. He bossed that game. Rarely lost the ball and was an engine all game. His physical presence was really useful. A big, big win. Another clean sheet too. 4 in a row!

Really lucky to be going back in the lead. We have bene outplayed bar the first 15-20 mins. Please take off Chilwell. We have already seen what has happened in games this season keeping players on a yellow eg Koulibaly, Gallagher. Need to assert ourselves more second half.

That was so selfish from Allsani. All he had to do was square that for Goosens for a simple tap in.

Barca are out! 2-3. Even a draw they practically out.

Barca currently out. I think I count for every Chelsea member in saying that they will be delighted to see that with they way they conducted themselves this summer. Just deserts!

Impressive performance. Two B2B 3-0 victories and good to see many of the academy boys integrated once again. 6 in total once again. Nice to see Chucky get a run out too. There was a lot of surprise when he went to us as people thought he went for money because apparently a graveyard for young talent even though we have been developing and giving young players chances for a while now. I thought Mount had a very good game. 2 wonderful assists which will give him a huge boost in confidence. Seems to have gone under the radar but I thought Chalobah was excellent yesterday. Bossed that game and looked very comfortable. Glad for Pulisic too. Wonderful finish. When we lose, the usual 'we miss Kante was brought back' but all we need is an identity for the team. These home games I have always said we can take it to the opposition and boss the game and good to see we have won the lost 2 comfortably without him. RLC is getting better and better too. I use to sigh when I saw him on the team but he has a renewed sense of energy and is dominating games. Interesting that Potter has followed Tuchel in playing him so he obviously is impressing the managers on and off the field. Big game on Tuesday to focus on now and some key players got a rest who will be in the team against Milan.

Playing Wolves at a good time. No Neves, Neto or Collins. Collins is their best defender. Neves is their best midfielder and Neto is their best winger. Traore isn't 100% yet also as although he has poor end product, is always a threat. Also won't have a new manager in time for the game.

He is referring to Kepa, not Mendy 😄

Always been a fan of gold kits and like what I have seen from leaked images and want to buy one once it is announced officially.

Dull performance so far. Crowd completely flat at our game and City game (probably to do with Queen) but no coincidence that both us and weirdly City have no tempo whatsoever. Fans make a big difference. Need to up the tempo real fast second half.

Personally would prefer if the football schedule went ahead. I was/am hoping that this should be seen as celebration of her life which can be reflected around all the football stadiums rather than a period of mourning where we cant do the things that make us happy.

Tearing Liverpool apart. Has made Gomez and TAA look silly tonight.

Yes that Georgian kid for Liverpool looks the real deal. Watched him properly today. Excellent talent.

Football is just getting worse and worse. No way should we be losing this game. I don't even see what Tuchel is trying to do with this team. Change of players/system and still the same dross. No improvement.

I love the gold Champions League outfit/training wear. Stunning. Will definitely buy once released.

Although it is tough, that is justice for our injustice against Spurs.

I agree but for me Havertz has never really convinced as a winger here. Hopefully that changes but I always like having pace on the wing

Feels like we have gone from having many wingers to being short on wingers. I feel CHO should have possibly stayed, even though the Bundesliga will be good for his development, but not with Werner and CHO both gone, feels that our wide pacey players are limited and with the amount of football that is going to be played, would have been good for CHO to stay around.

How many added time did Liverpool get on to the additional bloody 5?? Any surprise though for when it is the media darlings.

Yep, we just seem to have chucked a bunch of players on the field with no direction how to play. Need to see a change against West Ham on Saturday. Must win game.

Have to be honest and admit Arsenal look good. They are only 1-0 up but that is one of the most impressive performances you will see in a half from a team this season. Dominant. Envious.

Shocking performance. Another abysmal display both offensively and defensively. Those changes Tuchel did had no inspiration at all. Broja should have come on earlier imo but we got dominated in both halves. Worrying. I barely recall us going behind in the league and Tuchel turning it around. There is so many games we go behind to end up losing and looking clueless. Another Leeds performance. Credit where credit is due. Southampton were good. Adams bullied us all evening. Lavia, that kid they got from City is a talent and the Bella-Kotchap guy at the back is a top defender. He impressed me against United too. Only 20. Will be a star. He bossed our attack, whole game.
