the ref is having a mare

Morata must be wrapped in a bubble wrapper

We are giving away a lot of freekicks around our own area this season, it's like we can't defend players running at us.

I know we seem to just back off and back off and then you get the mistimed challenge. I think maybe some of that is about Kante not being there to snuff stuff out before it gets anywhere near the box and I do think the red cards we picked up in those early games have impacted on us.

We are so crap at keeping possession from goal kicks, look how quickly that turned into a chance for Watford there. Courtois to Cahill, Cahill to Alonso, Alonso sweep's it to the side and we lose possession and concede a chance.

We play like the entire team is already on a yellow card. Too scared to tackle anyone

Things happen when the game team is not in form. Bad things to great players.

our crossing is crap

agreed, it's worrying - it feels that most of the goals we have conceded recently come from that lack of confidence.

Can someone tell me why Cahill is dribbling all the way into midfield? 

we're letting them boss the game now 

Is it just me or is morata a bit of a pussy?

Looks like it.

High press again and our players are incapable of getting the ball out from midfield. Look how Watford are stroking it around, that should be us doing that.

Kante is brilliant at that.

Luis that was silly

Apart from one stupid playstation-4 style overplay, Luiz has been excellent.

Thank f**k Watford aren't pressing us as hard as Roma and Palace have. Allows us some breathing room

Can't seem to be able to get out of our own half when they are pressing. Disjointed performance by us so far.

I know it really is embarrassing...

No linkup between Cesc & Morata

Morata needs to find his balls. Seriously. Looks embarassing.

I feel like this game is especially highlighting how much we miss Kante in the middle

I wish we hold it instead of look for the early ball some times. Play it around it a bit and give ourselves a breather defensively.

There's absolutely zero confidence in this Chelsea team...

Well timed by Luiz there
