Luiz at fault. Did nothing to commit the player with ball. He lost Aguero 3 times in the first 5 minutes.

Not impressed with Sarri at all.

Luiz being slagged off in commentary as I type. Too right. A joke of a player.

Luiz is naff, but it was Rudiger that left Aguero unattended, by the time he realised it was too late.

Jorginho has looked very dodgy

The season hasn't even started yet and you're giving up already ?

There’s continuously 20+ yards between the back four and the nearest midfielder. Don’t understand it.

No not at all, before the season in my mind i had an opinion on players who i thought arent good enough, and they dont look like changing my mind, barkley so much out of his depth, pedro a headless chicken

Because we are, they're going into their 3rd year with Pep were going into our  2nd month with sarri. What are you expecting a miracle over night, be patient.

No my friend no miracles but I do expect them to play a little bit better than what there doing now...or is that too much to ask for...?

Midfield looks pants so far, getting overrun far too easily and City too easily bypassing it. 

It's a new system give them a chance.

The problem with Sarri's tactics is that you can play slow in Italy, but it won't work in England, it needs to be much quicker and much more focused. Hopefully it will improve with time.

Cross the ball Morata, a shot was never on there. He’s clearly not lacking confidence if he’s going for a shot from there.

Yes. For picking Luis in a flat four where the onus to mark a player and hold position is key to how well you defend. Don't think Sarri has done his homework there.

You have to understand that as far as just is concerned picking David luiz in any form is cardinal sin that requires any least 10 lashes.

Sarri has had a couple of weeks with our lot City are virtually at full strength, this is just an exercise to see how far we are behind City, nothing more than that....and yes we are miles behind at the moment....we could get hammered here...so what.

Not sure what the point youre trying to make here. Youre beating a dead horse. I said were looking pub level in our play, thus have a lot of work to do. No need to defend the team, we all know we arent full strength. Im commenting on the game. 

 

Put your defense down lad, youre among Chelsea fans here. 

We have a lot to do on the training pitch. Defensively a very poor 25 mins with large gaps between the lines.

No Hazard, No Kante, Luiz in a back four … always going to be damage limitation, IMO

It is concerning. The same thing in the pre season matches.

Despite what many are saying I don't think Barklay hasn't had a bad game so far, the other two in the middle haven't exactly been setting the pitch alight, Cesc has been woeful though.

Happy to make a bet with you axman. Luiz plays regularly in our defence we won't make ttop  4.

He wouldn't get anywhere the starting eleven for any of our rivals.

what do you guys expect with Fabregas in midfield his legs are long gone.

I’m just pointing out an obvious flaw in our game.

Am I meant to pretend it’s all sunshine and rainbows so as not to say anything vaguely critical? 

Put Kante’s energy in there and we’ll look much better, the current three playing don’t look a good fit, probably why Sarri has said he wants to improve our options.

Luiz will play 40+ games this season unless we buy a top class CB. So get used to it.

Not that it will end well for anyone.

They are also missing several huge players. It just shows their strength and depth really. It's why they are champions and overwhelming favourites again
