Here they come again...we look shakey when they do

Smith-Rowe had 5 Chelsea players around him and he still got a shot off and only just missed

[Benchpress 42]

Apart from the first 10 minutes, we've been a shambles. Mount and Werner have been industrious.

[Vesper 28,877]

GET SARR OFF

[ZAPHOD2319 4,489]

This type of game is like having a flashback to Lampard as the manager

[Pizy 18,370]

Our midfield is totally nonexistent and the left side of our defense is a nightmare. We’re making them look dangerous in nearly every attack.

Kante is basically 1v3 or 4 every time. Kova is very much missed. Or in form Jorginho to calm things down and stand in the ball.

Man that Defense is looking really shaky and despite scoring the goal Azpi as offered us absolutely nothing we wasting Reece James in the Back three , Lukaku as usual is useless I barely remember him touching the ball

[DDA 9,690]

Kante has been playing at such a poor level for quite some time now. 

He gives the ball away constantly. 

[Laylabelle 9,360]

Look so dodgy...they look very good coming forward. Hopefully can turn this into a win..or least take a point from this! Don't want to lose to this lot though wouldn't be surprised but making it so easy for them 

[Pizy 18,370]

Thiago Silva had already been rested a couple of time in prior matches so I have no idea why he has been rotated today. We could predict as soon as the XI was announced that this defense would struggle no matter how shite Arse have been in recent games.

And my God, I can’t wait until this summer when we can finally address the LB situation. We desperately need a Alonso replacement. I’d even take some boring guy who isn’t great going forward so long as they can defend. Chilly + a new LB and we have a colossal upgrade.

Bad! Vesp it's fucking awful, never ever want to see the like of it again

here would be my worst possible line-up

4 3 2 1

GK Marcus Bettinelli  ( or, if being realistic, Kepa Arrizabalaga)
CB Malang Sarr  
CB Andreas Christensen
LB Kenedy
RB César Azpilicueta  (feel bad putting him there, but no other RB, ie. one who is actually shite)
DMF/Deep Holding Ruben Loftus-Cheek
CMF Saúl Ñíguez    
AMF Ross Barkley 
LW Charly Musonda Jr.   (realistically, Callum Hudson-Odoi)
RW Christian Pulisic  
CF Romelu Lukaku

Christenssen off I guess

[Razer Sharp 4]

Hopefully Some control restored with our defensive general on the pitch

[ZAPHOD2319 4,489]

Keep shooting Timo

should also be SARR!!!!

[Vesper 28,877]

tinfoil hat time

BUT

AC and Barca benefit hugely (potentially) if no Chels in CL

[Razer Sharp 4]

Please get Havertz on the pitch 

[Vesper 28,877]

damn, close, but Timo should have laid it off

[Pizy 18,370]

Look at how WIDE OPEN we are in midfield. There is a Grand Canyon sized hole there for Arse to waltz through.
