Good fight back if the players are healthy those who ended the game pretty much need to be starting

Looks like Guiu could have a problem. Nkunku V Brighton? 🥲

Potter tried his best spell today, but the Chelsea dementors sucked him dry. 3 points is all that matters today

Both of our goals were quite lucky weren't they?

One that needed several minutes of review because it seemed blatantly offside, with a clear foul in the build up

The other a fluke OG

The kind of result that Arsenal somehow get week after week after week.

their goal was pure lucky

I appreciate the team effort. The players show a lot of attitude

I’ll take squeaky wins for the remainder of the season if it means we grab top 4 and CL football next season. Won’t be good for my health but hey this is Chelsea we support

Wasn't it atrocious defending from Colwill? Didn't seem lucky - we were just terrible?

Maybe groin? He stretched his right leg to pick up the pass from Neto in a nice exchange between the two, then dropped to the ground. Looked OK after that, but perhaps he wasn't 100% anymore.

100%

Somehow finding a way to steal a win even when we are terrible is something we've been missing for years and years. Glad we're starting to get some. I don't know how we get to Arsenal's level of just repeatedly robbing people in broad daylight but I'm here for it if we can manage it

[lluubbeenn 157]

When Maresca uses his 5 subs we win LOL

Hope that now that we know who will be here this season we can find some consistency!

Thought the first goal was the result of attacking pressure, but yeah the second was pure luck.

Their goal was a giveway tho, so it's not like they deserved anything better.

Potter back from (Chelsea FC sponsored early) retirement and then relegates WHU?! That'd be fun to watch... 😆

The last thing we really need. It could have been a blessing in disguise for him.

I guess we'll find out the full extent tomorrow.

A good run of results until the Arsenal match could put us in a good position for Top 4.

That is what we said in December before the favourable fixture list and we failed miserably. I can’t trust these players just yet. I wish it was the way you wrote though.

I trust the team more away from home than in stamford bridge

I haven't looked careful at our results in dec and jan, but I suspect a strong correlation with opposition quality: we've been struggling against all the good teams lately. A good team does not even need to be in particular good for, e.g. City, because the help with provide (aka errors) is enough for good players to capitalize on.

For example, was it really surprising that Haaland scored from that Sanchez brain fart? Would a lesser striker score that goal too? I doubt it. Actually Halland had an amazing game against us; he came alive in the second half, unfortunately.

Tuchel was a master at that

the team play better outside from home because the game is more open, with more space

well, about GK situation, I felt much more relaxed with jorgensen as a gk
