i've tried about 20 different streams, only one is kinda working but is lagging a bit and stops every 30 seconds or so to reset. it could be my area, i am semi rural and streams are always a bit sh*t for me. i have gotten good streams before, if it many people are using the internet local to me it can slow down the internet. frustrating.

Its is easy to park the bus against us when we play 7 defenders with hazard Morata and fab meant to do majic

Spot on! It is a bit silly playing 5 defenders with Bakayoko/Kante offering little going forward, and expecting the remaining 3 to do everything.

Take off a CB & stick on Pedro.

We mentioned Burnley here, they're playing with an attacking style which we aren't yet. Not really a good first half, I've no problem with that Brighton are playing deep defensively, but we have the solution for that, Moses is doing alright, but where is Alonso? He seems tired, I've seen more Hazard and Bakayoko on the left side than him. If we will keep playing in that way, then I won't be surprised to see Brighton score. 

We've to wake up! COME ON CHELS!!!

Instead of rolling around on the floor, Morata should get on with it and contribute to our attack. We needed him there. There is no way that challenge on him hurt him.

Football culture, even culture, takes time to adapt, we are taught from childhood that being hard as nails is praiseworthy, get hit by a bus walk it off, pack of scampi fries and you're sorted, spain is totally different, they emphasise winning by any means necessary, old habits die hard. 

We need to come up with a different strategy, teams have sussed that if we have the ball 30 yds out push us inside and we'll play square ball after slow square ball and eventually f**k the move up. Move the ball quicker and get it into the danger areas from the flanks and we will create chances.

This is what happens when the players around him don't move for him. When he is on the ball, they just stand and watch him. He can't beat 5 players on his own every chance he gets.

Fair comment, but for years ive just always wanted hazard to be our own goal scoring monster

Chelsea is the least entertaining team in this league. What a terrible performance. Why the hell do we need so much secure in match like this against opponent like this. Why are we playing Bakayoko, they cannot harm us in any way... 3 midfielders against these bunch of scrubs.... Antonio, please, grow your balls back!!!

It's over-confidence that's exactly why we've been beat by teams like Crystal Palace and Burnley this season.

Bakayoko is useless. Bring on Pedro or Willy. 

Oh, hell no. We can't play only with 5 clear defensive players. We need at least 7 to make Antonio feel comfortable and well protected. Screw this football, really. I accept it against big opponents, but Brighton, Soton, Huddersfield, West Ham... 

Can't say I'm that surprised.

The 3-5-2 usually too defensive. 

Bakayoko is completely invisible. Just not needed in this game.

They aren't looking to find him when he goes forward either like it's 10 men at the moment. 

Willian or Pedro should be on here.

Lethargic. 

So predictable and pedestrian. 

Plodding passes, get ball to wing, knock in aimless crosses for Morata against a crowd of Brighton players.

I remember saying this about Drogba in his early seasons with us. He learned, so there is hope for Morata.

Another poor half from us.

Bit rubbish of late. 

Get a defender or Baka off and bring on Willian.

pretty uninspiring stuff. Bakayoko and moses missed 2 great chances, but it's been a sloppy perfomance so far, even kante has looked sluggish.

We seem very defensive. When u think Liverpool smashed these away with Can and wijnaldum at centre back, you have to question whether we should have set up more offensively. 

Hopefully we grind out the 3 points, but something is missing in our attack, the creativity and cutting edge don't seem to be there at the moment.

it might sound silly but going back to 4 at the back would actually enable us to have more offensive players as we would remove one CB and be able to put Pedro instead for example.

Creating NOTHING again. So tired of this aimless, slow build up play. Unless Hazard attempts to dribble past 3 players, we just don't go anywhere. It's back and forth, out to Moses or Alonso, sh*t cross straight to them, and then we try again.

Bakayoko 

I'd personally like to see 433

Thibaut

Azpi Rudiger Christensen Alonso

Kante Fabregas Drinkwater

Pedro Morata Hazard 

no idea why Conte is playing 3 cm at home agasint Brighton, take Baka off and put on Willian or Pedro.

Our attacking play summed up in one gif

week in, week out, the same issues arise in the PL... this easy run was supposed to correct our recurring flaws. So far, I can't really say we've made progress.

Bring on William for bakayoko I think and go 3-4-3 

the flanks are underused or missused; the overcrossing is starting to get on my nerves; the ball needs to move quicker; shoot outside of the box sometimes ffs; set pieces are... inconsistent.

He won't bring anyone till 70' except for a broken leg. 

our display against these teams is too damn defensive !

WTF has this Bakayoko achieved anways? Drink has a the premier league. Thought after his good performance against Newcastle we'd see more of Drink. Can score pass and has a great engine.

Bakayoko 

Uncalled for. 

You seem to have an unhealthy obsession with Bakayoko.

I'm not his biggest fan myself, but give the guy a break. He's not being used right in this one.
