If this ends a Draw, ars will se it as a win, and they should. Sarri must learn you cant do open game all game with everyone.......in the long run you cant do luiz and Alonso in defence, bound to bite you. Come'on Chels ........we want a win.

Sarri doesn't need to learn that. He needs time to make his system work in time.

System is one thing, but you have to take into account the League. Balance it out......

Morata doing a giroud atm ... Better play him as CDM then !

we seem to have solved our defensive weaknesses by not letting them have the ball - what a simple solution  

Alonso spends more time in the Arsenal box than he does defending in ours....is this all part of the tactics and game plan or am I missing something?  Or does Alonso not understand that we are not playing 3 at the back any longer?

We are playing such a high line.........one pass and we are exposed as f**k.

I hope he does it fully and not because we want to win Arsenal in our second league game because we are anxious. 

Fcuk ... We did not do much with the ball actually. arsesh*t defended very well !!!

We're controlling the ball again, but Arsenal are sitting deeper now, so we aren't getting the ludicrous space behind their defensive line. It's also meant they haven't been as dangerous pulling us apart though.

If we lose this, I'm going to be absolutely gutted.

Morata had an OK game ....still needs to muscle up to defenders though, he is going to have to work on that.....a lot. 

Dodgy keeping

Kepa spills the ball quite a bit doesn't he

Remember we need to learn. To learn we are going to make mistakes. Cool down man. 

Imagine if Kante had scored that.

Ah, Kante should have scored.

Its not about being anxious.......its all balance at  the end of the day. This high-line scares the sh*t out of me.

Kante certainly looks good in this system, he's actually pretty dangerous going forward!

But what does Alonso really do for the team ?

Get in Alonso!!

alonsooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

We have consistently played the better football but have managed to defend worse than the arse...some feat
