closed Krasnodar 0-4 Chelsea

[Azul 1,613]

We need to question Kai's performances. I think he needs to be rested, because he is flopping these past few games.

[Azul 1,613]

CHO!!!

[Strike 6,276]

Ziyech pressing is so good

CHO really needs to shoot better. So often his sidefoot shots are dreadful and straight to the keeper.

Sadly this is true.

[Azul 1,613]

Just when I said Kai is not having a good night, he gave an assist.

[Vesper 24,163]

let's get that second (should be nil 2 anyway)

[Milan 17,598]

I cannot wait to welcome back Gilmour. Give him a big role and slowly replace Jorginho. My eyes hurt.

[MoroccanBlue 4,439]

Did you lot see that attempted lob pass from Joringho where both Chilwell and CHO were wide open, yet the pass found a Krasnodar defender? 

[Dan Lee 40]

Zou to Mendy, M to R, back to Zou, etc. What are we trying to do?

 

[Johnnyeye 6,893]

wasted counter, Odoi with a crap pass

[Pizy 16,280]

So. Many. Sloppy. Giveaways.

And on simple passes! 

[Vytis33 762]

Really liking what Ziyech is showing today so far.  Think there’s gonna be much more to come from him too. COYB!

[Hutcho 8,443]

Bad first 25. Good last 20.

[Johnnyeye 6,893]

god we are so wasteful

[Tomo 21,163]

Ziyech's been class, fullbacks good, Mendy's done everything he's needed to do.

The rest, meh!

[Atomiswave 6,072]

The ease at which they are playing straight through our middle is worrying.

[Magic Lamps 10,608]

ziyech is a joy to watch with his ideas but havertz is super wasteful. he really should up his game, just too lax and sloppy from him

[OneMoSalah 7,788]

Whys Chilwell not just crossing that after Zouma’s cross fielded it to him? 2 players (I think?) in the box and he tries a 1-2 and makes it more difficult for himself IMO plus its pulled Timo away from in and around the penalty spot.

I do get the feeling we are unnecessarily over complicating things when we finally get to the middle/final thirds which doesn't help when they are just sitting in. They want us to try over complicate things, to try play through a low block when they can see the build ups slow with short passes and they can get back into position. 

I don’t get we dont go a bit more direct and play Giroud in some of these types of games if I am honest, these sort of awkward teams. Yes he’s limited in some ways yes but at least you can go a bit more direct and get Havertz, Hudson-Odoi and Ziyech into the game sooner if he can take it in plus with guys like Ziyech, Chilwell and Azpilicueta willing to put the ball in the box who would be better at getting to them? Or even throw him on and play Timo off him be it from the left or in a 2 man partnership. 

Still feels very unconvincing. Only winning due to a GK error and yes the missed penalty hurts but our play and creation of chances from open play is hugely uninspiring. 

[Jase 43,477]

What a garbage performance. 

[Pizy 16,280]

Ziyech has been awesome. And not even fully up to speed yet. Playing some BEUATIFUL balls here. Our best player so far.
