closed Chelsea 3-0 Aston Villa

[different level 1,056]

Maybe we rotated a bit too much? Obviously Reece is suspended so we didn't have many options at RWB, but Saul's debut and Chalobah's experience play time could have been postponed for the Carabao Cup game.

We’ve been completely outplayed here. Outworked, too. No control in midfield and this CHO at wingback experiment looks awful. There’s a massive, gaping chasm on the right flank of our defense.

Need to wake the fuck up now. We’re basically inviting Villa upon us with this bombardment of free kicks and corners.

Extremely fortunate not to be losing after that half. I was worried about us being lightweight in midfield before KO, and it's proving to be an issue, not to mention Saul's horrific first half.

Everytime after an international break we seem to lose our flow a little.

You guys here need to come down.

that was a foul throw by Villa on that long throw-in that lead to that double wonder-save by Mendy

We have a player who legitimately played for Villa that first half. 
 

We have every right to be worried.

his foot was in bounds when he let it go

Kovacic is such a good player. Will repeat and repeat again, the most underrated player in the league. Pure quality.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt it's first game jitters but Saul looks totally out of his depth.

He doesn't look match fit. Watching him for Athletico, he had way more ergency and pace about him.

Saul absolutely shocking. There was a reason Atletico didnt mind getting rid though, so still think it's a decent gamble. Hakim on the other hand adds nothing at all, and should fucking know the league by now.

Kounde is very much needed. I love Chelsea youth players but Chalobah is not at our level. He is a decent squad player nothing more

Kai also looks like he didn't recover from that flu and plane crushing scare. 

Jorginho on! 

[different level 1,056]

Okay, the best player in Europe is coming in!

Christensen is though.

 

Him, Silva, Rudiger, Azpilicueta (if Reece James play wing back) is more than enough with Chalobah as a backup.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Well at least Tuchel is not afraid to admit he got it wrong

[Atomiswave 6,072]

YEah Villa os on it, we hava allowed them too much space......too close for comfort

[Magic Lamps 11,450]

Damn Saul was atrocious . Glad he is off. Rough start to life kn England. Can only get better from here 

[NikkiCFC 7,582]

Kova scores 😂😂😂
