I don't think I've ever seen Lukaku win a header

The thing that pains me the most about the Torres transfer is the fact that we could have got Aguero for way cheaper. Oh what could have been (if our striker curse did not ruin him too). Our scouting really sucks and we haven't learnt any lesson since then (see Lukaku).

The premier league should give us some kind of fair play trophy for that. Giving life to dead teams is our specialty. I just don't understand how we always go from great to sh*t so many times over the years. I knew we wouldn't win the league this year but it is shocking to be unable to beat a depleted Everton side that has been in terrible form. WTF is wrong with us?

I only caught the end of the game but that was the thing that struck me. Why commit so many players forward when we're leading in added time? Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Agreed. We basically gifted them 2 goals, and even the third could have been prevented. That had nothing to do with Moyes I sincerely hope Tuchel can turn it around because whenever things go wrong for us, they really go wrong. If he manages to keep us near the top, he should be safe. The league is so tough and he's been in the job for no more than a year.

I think he has bought into his own hype and thinks he's the dog's bollocks now, so doesn't bother to do the hard work anymore. That makes him useless when he doesn't score and makes us a worse team overall. I'm not a big fan of Havertz but even when he doesn't score, the team looks way better because he contributes in other ways.

I don't think the league is over, but I didn't believe in our challenge because of how poor our attackers are. It would be a huge bonus if we manage to win it. Today, we lost the game because of stupid errors. The games that we should have comfortably won are Burnley and Man U but our lack of ruthlessness in goal cost us those games. What is worrying for me is the fact that the all too familiar suicidal mistakes have started happening again. When your attackers cannot score, you can't afford to make stupid mistakes.

That's what happens when you have attackers who can actually score. Same thing with Man U before their meltdown. Good attackers will bail you out of most games when you're poor

They really are. It would be a great achievement if we manage to win the league this season, making it two titles since Klopp and Pep came to the league but it's looking like a bridge too far.

He offers Ronaldo and Messi levels of effort without the productivity to match. We should have looked for a cheaper up and coming striker rather than spending 100M on another big name striker who a lot of people did not rate. His $0 replacement is not looking any worse than he did at Inter. He really needs to step up but at his age, I doubt he will improve much. We really are terrible at signing strikers

He really is! I just don't understand who thought he was worth 100M when most people could see he is nowhere near that. I know he has just come back from injury but he wasn't great before the injury either.

A lot of us did not believe we could win the league even when we were top. I am never convinced we are in the title race until we go through December, because we always go to sh*t in December

LOL

Unbelievable. What the hell was that?

It's always laughable whenever he's out and you have folks saying how much we miss him. He's sh*t. Being hard working and making runs alone should not warrant a spot in a title chasing team. We should get rid in my opinion

In spite of the selection, we did enough to win the game and only conceded because of Jorginho's brain fart. It's not as if the subs are firing on all cylinders anyway. He probably should have made the subs earlier but I doubt that would have made a huge difference. I hope he's training the boys on how to finish because it's becoming a parody at this point and will most likely cost us the title.

He is apparently a very good player and we create a lot of chances when he plays but I just don't see it. Awful awful player in my book.

Typical Chelsea. Handing points to awful teams and conceding goals to players who have never scored. We created enough to win it but so many of our players have no composure in front of goal. So predictable and annoying how it happens every farking time. Tuchel seems to have a mental block against MU going back to his PSG days and I think that contributed to the tactics today

Typical Werner. Nobody expected him to score there

I knew this will happen. So predictable. Why did we commit every player forward?

Well, reports suggest Werner and Havertz are on close to 20m Euros a year, so if Rudiger is demanding 12m, it's not really parity and not that unreasonable. It is only a matter of time before the other players demand massive contracts too if the reports are to be believed. Neither Havertz nor Werner has set the world alight since their signing, so it's only normal for other players who are performing arguably better to demand comparable wages. Even if the players themselves don't demand said wages, their agents will. Rudiger was only really bad during the latter days of Lampard's reign, but has been decent for us otherwise.

He has upped his game since Tuchel came in but it looks like the end of the road. If reports of Havertz and Werner's contracts are to be believed, you can't really blame Rudiger for demanding 12 a year. He has a lot of leverage in the negotiations but I think he can be replaced. I just hope Tuchel is happy with the replacement and this doesn't cause a rift with the board.

They managed so many blocks because none of our players know how to feint a shot. Most of our shots are always so obvious, and it's no surprise they are either saved or blocked. The way the league is tight, we might regret dropping points in this manner. I don't know if it can be trained but it's getting embarrassing how so many of our players are not ruthless in front of goal. I do agree that it's encouraging that we created so many chances. Let's hope it's "one of those days" and not the familiar pattern we were so used to last season.

Our finishing really is a joke. This should have been an easy win if. Most of our players lack any guise or composure in front of goal. Absolute joke

I'm getting bad vibes from this game. It's all setup for a sucker punch. We need to kill it
