Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea

[MoroccanBlue 5,320]

I’ll take it. 
 

We are always shit after the international break. Both City and Liverpool were ass too. City fortunate they have the freak up front though. 

[Strike 7,265]

Poor performance but I liked how lively Sancho was.

First time seeing this. Stats are so bad. How can you have 70% of the ball yet concede 19 shots, 7 on target. Absolutely poor. Then look at ours 10 shots, 3 on target. Then touches in opposition box, again Bournemouth 32% possession, Yet more than us…. 

Got lucky today. Won’t get lucky every week with Sanchez pulling in a MOTM award. 

Barring a good period of the Wolves game we have been so up and down it is unreal and it can’t continue. Don’t get me wrong Bournemouth are a pretty half decent team but still.

This wasn't a good match. We got the win, which is what counts, but this was horrible for the most part and Bournemouth should have won. 

Firstly, Enzo need's to recognise Disaster should not be playing one minute of football for us. The guy is absolutely shocking. I honestly perfer Noni then see him out there. 

Second, CM was a big issue. Absolutely zero control throughout the match which meant the ball got played straight through the middle of the park with for the majority of the game and we had very little invention on the ball when in possession. It appears Caicedo has again got away with his Scrappy Doo performance impressing people because he got a couple of scrappy turnovers and ran around a lot. Veiga grew into the game a bit and I will give him time but that is certainly not a pairing I want to see in the PL for a while again. 

Owing to the problems the CM pair caused, it is a bit hard for me to be critical of other players unless the were dire like Disaster. The front line had zero supply and the back line were constantly under pressure. Although Neto could've tried to drop a little more often at times to get hold of the ball like Sancho and Noni did. 

Standouts were Sanchez and Colwill for me, both did well under pressure and pull out consistent performances. 

Tosin in the sweeper role also looked quite good, I am not sure about him defensively still but he has good passing between the lines, so having him drop back to give him an extra yard or two to play the pass is a good idea, whilst he also shouldn't get too isolated - although he needs to be careful not to play oppo attackers onside if their is a long ball/quick transition. 

Sancho also did well, good technical skills and went looking for the ball. Hopefully, he keeps that up as mentality is his biggest downfall.

Palmer probably glad someone else has taken on the load for a change.

He's looking drained all second half

You're right bruv, but I think he's carrying an injury, he's not looked right this season so far.

Isn't that what he did at Brighton as well?   I'm not sure what fans expect from Caicedo?    He's the energy player, gets around the midfield, runs a lot...similar to Kante (but Kante was a cheat code). 

We should just be glad that we somehow got away with 3 points with a makeshift midfield and Disaster at RB.  On to the next game...

West Ham, Brighton, Forest....then we basically play the top 6 till 23rd November.

Mate, you need to link the Drogba video for context 😆

The controversial calls from Ovrebo lad to outrage from the Chelsea fans and players. Michael Ballack chased Ovrebo down the pitch while screaming in his ear after he did not award a penalty for the Eto'o handball. After the final whistle, Didier Drogba had to be held back by Chelsea staff, and ultimately shouted into a television camera, 'It's a fucking disgrace.

And this is what the cunt eventually came out with:

I don't think the Chelsea supporters are correct when they claim four of five penalties, but I think everybody that knows football and the laws of the game knows there should have been a penalty given.

Sorry I know this this is not the right place for these postings, just so angry about these officials fuck up's

Another tragic performance in another day will be bad lose this defence is shocking every game .

[Mário César 999]

bournemouth have made a good start to the season and after a Nations League match it was never going to be an easy game

the display was poor, but acceptable given the context

it's a good thing there are better solutions on the bench and it's possible to tinker with the game.

We got lucky today but deserved to beat Palace by every metric so what comes around goes around.

Felix coming on before Christo needs to stop however, if today's anything to go by he hasn't changed one bit.

True.

Also on Felix - again true. But apparently we got a bargain on a world class talent if you take 75% of the opinions on here…. will do something one week then go missing for ages.

Some already taking digs at him after less than 90 minutes in 3 games but we're willing to suck Mount for years playing trash week after week.

True that. Compared to that infamous match, everything else seems like easy pickings.

Not to defend Mount but he was from the academy so he gets a few passes for shite performances. 

Felix has always been inconsistent, thats why he's been moving clubs every other season.

Must feel so strange for Christopher. He was near the starting XI for game 1 and now sees himself behind Jackson and Felix when he's better than both of them. Definitely better than Felix

Crazy to think the gaffer is selecting Jackson and Felix over Nkunku. Unless it is to manage his fitness with the fear of injury considering his injury record.
