closed Chelsea 1-1 Brighton

[Pizy 16,013]

Rest Jorginho for the next 2 matches, btw. Go with Kante and hope Kova plays himself into form. Or see if Saul can build upon his promising last couple of appearances.

We’re going to need to shore up the midfield if we are to have any chance of masking all these defensive injuries.

More than results best way to lose respect from the fans is to do things like he did today with Kante/CHO sub and defending the lead against fucking Brighton. 

I do hope he survives for 12 more months until Luis Enrique is available. 

I want to play real football for a change always for extra goal like City. Last time we had that was with Ancelotti more than a decade ago. 

 

the real problem is our player cant beat 1vs1 expect Lukaku

And yet, they still had the better chances/moments and worked Mendy more than we worked Sanchez. They out-shot us and at one point in the second half, they had like 9 shots to our 0. The only thing that let Brighton down was their usual inability to put chances away. 

Yeah we got lucky. They had 18 shots..6 on target. 

We just seemed to have a habit of passing it to them..or break away then they got it back and off they went.

Disappointing but was watching Welbeck in the build up and said hes going to score, you could see it. CHO is not an intelligent footballer, Injury list grows. On the positive Lukaku is getting into beast mode. That is all.

Oh and Bissouma is a right cunt and should have seen red, instead of which Mount got a yellow.

To telll you the truth I managed to watch from the 28th minute onwards - just caught the replay of Lukaku's goal.
From 28' to 70' we were nowhere in the pitch. We were all over the place and Brighton were attacking in waves - corner, after corner, after corner.
From 70 to 90 it was different but now we were unlucky. Instead of 2-0, 1-1.
I can't blame the forwards as for the 42 minutes out of the 62 I saw they did n't see the colour of the ball.
But being outplayed for 42 minutes by Brighton is too much.

The game was lost when we lost RJ and AC

those two injuries will weigh heavier than the lost 2 points. At this rate, losing two players per game we will not be able to field a full lineup soon despite all the comebacks

Hard to turn around a game after losing all subs to injury

the whole constellation is not favourable to us

having our best players out, Covid, injuries, crazy calendar, corrupted refs, stupid 3 sub rule

its bad but we should not throw the kitchen sink yet 

the league is not there to be won. Even in good form it would be hard to keep pace with a superior city side for which everything falls into place

but the teams behind us will drop points too 

all we need is a a few good transfers and tactical tweaks

Guardiola has really bossed the Premier League. It needed one bad season from them and a superhuman season from Liverpool to win the title.

Who cares ? We need a telescope to see them.

Always blaming the players but this system is catered towards the defense and players like Jorginho. He's been awful...

Once again we were so predictable and literally Norwich could give us a game right now. Tuchel deserves a bulk of the blame

[NikkiCFC 6,589]

Cant believe some try to defend this team. Are you aware that we have exactly 10 bad games in a row. Maybe AV 2nd half is only good thing.

Chelsea:United 1:1

Watford:Chelsea 1:2 undeserved win

WH:Chelsea 3:2

Zenit:Chelsea 3:3

Chelsea:Leeds 3:2 another underserved win and horrid watch

Chelsea:Everton 1:1

Wolves:Chelsea 0:0

Brentford:Chelsea 0:2 they should have been ahead in the first half

AV:Chelsea 1:3 like I said solid 2nd half thanks to Lukaku but again 2 pens needed

Chelsea:Brighton 1:1 horrid game

10 GAMES!

Even when Sarri lost 6:0 and 4:0 he beat Huddersfield 5:0 in between.

Lamps had Luton and Morecambe in his horror month.

What does Tuchel have?

Only ONE league win at the Bridge since that 7-0 win over Norwich and even then, we needed a late penalty to win that solitary game.

And a lot of those wins involved us getting a penalty

[robsblubot 2,719]

Team is not flowing… play is pedantic. Intensity is still there but not much else.

Lukaku scored a great strikers goal and at the same tIme played like shit; story of his game for me.

He is actually a player for Pep team (who wanted him) and you saw on EURO for Italy. Looked much better. Would not say we play system for him.
