Luiz was stupid but a yellow for an overhead never that's a clown of a decision, second he went into a 50/50 other players studs up too want that high could have easy given a yellow for that and would have if against us 

From Pedro's knock, Hazard not starting, Morata underperforming and Luiz losing control. Lucky we didn't fail miserably. We do need an attacking front end, particularly if our forward isn't performing.

Studs up and airborne. Red all day I'm afraid.

I wish refs were consistent with that ruling. Loose interpretation and application of the ruling dependant on the ref's mood gets fans and players pissed off.

Too many crap performances.

Cesc, Ped, Willy, Cahill, Moses all crap.

Baka needs to start every week now.

Amazed we came away sith a point considering how terrible our performance was. 

If anything Arsenal should be kicking themselves.

its not bad result to be honest . arsenal didnt do much after Conte corrected his mistake with bakayoko in , we looked more dangerous with hazard on the field of course but didnt create enough chances to bother Cech , gotta give credit to arsenal  they seem to really found out Conte's system and tactics , they looked less dangerous with sanchez tho 

it was Terrible challenge by Luiz, but that was all anger, Luiz almost broke his wrist at end of half and ref didnt even call anything.

If Arsenal can hold their own against the other top 5 it will be a okay result. 

Maybe thou it was just a one off from Arse.

Not airbourne and how else do you go into a tackle ther? If you've played the game there is no other way to make the tackle there.

You're right there's no other way to make the tackle, but that tackle gets you a red nowadays so all you can do is hang back from lunging and try to block the tackle. Same with Cahills tackle, once you loose control of the ball and you stretch into the tackle you appear reckless and dangerous. In both those tackles look where the tackles were made on the pitch, both uncalled for.

I BET after this that Conte comes up with a magic new line up and we just win everything now.

Poor showing from the team, really wish we would play two up front, morata looks like he needs a hand up there at the mo!
Glad with the point though didn't deserve anything from that, only positive is with Luiz out it gives Andreas or rudiger a chance to play then hopefully they can displace Cahill as he sh*t me up several times today!

Probably being dragged back twice by sanchez with the ref doing sweet fa about it. He shoulda flopped like an Arsenal player who clearly noticed because whenever we tackled them they just fell over in case they get the foul.

Yeah probably, and he seemed to have a go at Sanchez off the ball shortly before he got sent off. He's developed into a very good defender but he still has that side to him.

Why does Ramsey sound like a foreigner 

Not the worst result, just a bit frustrating if anything. Never mind, clean sheet and onto the next

Embarrassing performance by Chelsea today. Arsenal deserve the point. Poor selection by Conte and half of the team piss poor today. Luiz played relatively well but deserves his red, he took forever and then made a stupid, stupid tackle. VM and Willian were useless today, zero on the pitch. Fabregas has a problem when playing Arsenal he was unrecognizable today. But for me personally, Conte got jt all wrong with selection and formatio tonight. Well,on to the next game now, we will be 3 points behind the Manchester teams tonight.

Conte's tactics were poor all-round.

Bringing in Cahill unsettled the defence, we didn't see his aerial abilities, nor did he play well enough to justify his inclusion.

Arsenal pressed more than Conte expected and could overrun our midfield. He was IMO too slow to react to this, as he has been in the past RE substitutes. 

By the time Bakayoko came on, Arsenal were content to have a point and so he could not provide the same forward momentum as both Bakayoko and Cesc could have in a 3-5-2 formation. 

I'm not as worried as I once would be because I expect that Conte will learn his lesson from this just as he learnt from the 3-0 shellacking at the Emirates this time last year.

We were poor, but lets put this one behind us, I'm not overly worried. 

Souness said overhead is a red  f**king irony defined, one of the most dirty bar steward calling that as a red

Really wasn't "Embarrassing". Huge over reaction . It was a tight tactical game, nothing gained nothing lost. Far from embarrasing

I only managed to watch the 2nd half and wasn't very impressed, but seeing the line-up I wasn't expecting much anyway. It didn't scream eager new players with a point to prove, it mumbled same old, same old from the usual jaded suspects, bar Morata.

Is Luiz out for 3 games or 1? 

I'm assuming a back three of Cahill, Rudiger and Azpilicueta in the next match. That doesn't seem so bad.

They're desperate on sky to push the comparisons to the mane red card, if you can't see why mane's was a red and why an overhead kick is only ever a foul then you're an idiot.

Sorry looking at the replay his studs weren't up he was trying to hit it with his side foot the side of his boot went in not his studs
