Kendrick 339 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Massive overreaction here. 0-0 against a direct rival is a good result in my book. Nothing pretty from either side but it's a point gained rather than two lost. Especially given the fixture list we've had and injuries.Direct rival for what, 4th place?

Pizy 18,984 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 We win that game handily if Bakayoko and Hazard start. A point here wouldn't be horrible against a full strength Arsenal side further into the season, but that team were weak and we threw the opportunity away. If we look like this at home against a shite Arsenal side we'll be torn to shreds against City and even Liverpool. We now are without our most important defender for two tough games against Stoke and City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at home we should be and have to be winning these clashes. It is not like we played a fantastic side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,984 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Also, I have to mention the refereeing. That was a disgrace! Oliver blew for EVERY FUCKING NIGGLY TOUCH that we made on an Arsenal player but would only penalize them when they barged our players over. So many times our players would get clearly pushed and nothing was given. The officiating in the PL is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Tottenham we lucked out and got the points, today it didn't happen. We go again next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Arsenal are a joke team - always were. Spurs at least have the excuse of being a product of the last two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,984 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Thought we largely dominated the 2nd half and restricted them to only a couple of chances. As good as Pedro and Willian can be at times, I feel like our attack is useless against decent opposition without Hazard. Morata gets no service other than long balls launched into him with two defenders draped all over him. We gave him almost no chance today. These were tactics that Lukaku would've thrived on but not Morata. He needs the ball to feet in open play. I pray that that was the last match in which Hazard doesn't play from the start. We desperately need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,963 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I am just frustrated that we are taking advantage of the Spurs' and Liverpool's results. We have to face it, we are not in the title race but in the top 4 race and we have to be beating our rivals and getting points while they are not.

King11Didier 916 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Seems like so long time ago when Chelsea were trashing arsenal, especially at the Bridge, now - last 3 games, 2 lost and 1 draw. But arsenal definitely played better than the match against pool, but that was because of our weak mid in the 1st half and they were a lot better in defence than the game vs pool. If Pedro managed to score that in the 1st half, I believe we would've won the match, big miss and feels more like 2 dropped points at home, rather than 1 point won. And it's even worse that we lose Luiz for 3 games after his no-brainer tackle. Hope the team gets on the winning way next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to hear that bulshit that he needs be handled carefully again. He needs to get in the team asap. Playing him for 15-20 minutes is not really going to help the team. He can produce some magic during that time but he is a special player and for sure he is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,963 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Indeed. Looks like Wenger has finally found a Chelsea manager that he can be beating and annoying regularly and that is frustrating and worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,963 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 We can easily go 3 League games without a win, now with Stoke away and Man City awating and that is why it was important to win today. Again, so disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abreu03 292 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Conte is the total fault of today's mediocre game. Shit line-up. But as we do not lose will not receive the merited criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
