Milan 17,958 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 The thing is - it is not just today. I feel like we have been witnessing the same shite week in week out. Totally unacceptable. Laylabelle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Overall pathetic display, and more concerning bar the Salzburg game, is how poor we've looked in recent games going through a period in the season where we've now got a tough run of fixtures. The most unforgiveable thing at present is how much our pressing ability has dropped off in the last 12 months. It was something that looked strong initially under Tuchel, but has been very poor and ineffective for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Unfortunately atm the competition for Top 4 is high!

Milan 17,958 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 A genuine question - in the last month, was there anything positive, apart from some victories? Anything to get your hopes hold up to something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the side effect of playing players that probably don't want to be here/wanted to leave a number of weeks ago, plus those that are aging. Due to their energy and hunger, Broja & Gallagher are two players that should be starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Pulisic were any of the other starters linked with wanting to leave the club in the summer? Pretty sure from the starting lineup too, 5 or 6 of them were 25 years old or under and only Silva is older than 30. I can accept when we're beaten by a better team, but I hate being out battled by worse teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 There was no plan to absorb an early pressure from a team playing infront of their supporters and wanting to attack. Same as against Leeds, under Tuchel (his biggest failure). Complacency - everyone expected Brighton to sit back and just park the bus. Why ? Have they signed a contract to do that ? Then you have to try to come back from three goals down. This can happen only if the opponent got lucky but they are amateurs and panic. But also look at the players who are posing as Chelsea attackers: Stirling (indeed), Pulisic and Havertz. I don't care if Havertz scored our only goal and our winner at Strasbourg. He is no Chelsea material. If you make me centre forward and if in spite the general indignation you keep using me, I 'm going to score the whatever few goals are scored.

I can accept when we're beaten by a better team, but I hate being out battled by worse teams. My comment was in general. We can't press like crazy when we have the likes of Silva, Jorgi, Azpi, and now Auba as starters, more often than not. With regards to the bolded - Chalobah, Kepa and Pulisic were seen as surplus to requirements not so long ago, and the manager thinks bringing on Ziyech was a smart idea. We've lacked fight for years now, and the players we've brought in don't have any either. Edited October 29, 2022 by LAM09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling decided to leave for a starting place instead of being forced out. He probably could have happily played a similar role to Mahrez or Grealish. I'm not sure why that's relevant, though.

Furious watching that utter wank. Maybe we can go through one more round in the CL if we are drawn against some sheepsagging team like Lille last year but all the decent teams will thrash us. In the league 9th or 11th. Last year we lost Rudiger, Lukaku proved a flop then in the summer transfer window -free of the Abramovich problem so it's not an excuse- we shot ourselves in the leg. Who was responsible ? Certainly it could n't be Boehly himself. I might expect some desperate clubs with no money making such poor transfers but not Chelsea.
