Even Palace has scored in the other game !!!

Sigh. I miss the old Chelsea. 

At least we've had some shots on target. Boruc playing a blinder so far 

New striker, same ol' problems. No penetration. 

Chelsea MoTM - Kepa so far !!!

Its just so simple for Bournemouth

Should be behind here, countering us with ease.

We are brutal in attack

Approach play is fine, but as soon as we approach the penalty area, we slow down. This is why Bournemouth has been able to counter attack us.

I have no idea what our lads are trying. 

OMG this is f**king boring. Its scary how open we are to their counter attacks

I am really tired of this type of football. Hazard poor so far, slowing the attack a lot. 

Bournemouth with full of confidence here. It is so easy for them to face this. 

Hopefully Sarri make a half time. No point waiting till late.  I say bring on Willian for pedro

Let them have the ball a bit and hit on a counter when there are less than 8 of their players in the box...

Pedro with another 4/10 display 

Pedro pedro pedro... he has definitely had better halves. Also had a lot worse but he hasn;t been that sharp

Same story in the penalty area.

 

Old school thinking this is where you need fast wingers that can cross with pace to shake it up a bit.

Pedro has been poor get him off and bring willian on 

Some things from the first half.

we spend too long on the ball - we need to take less touches and move it quicker.

must try more decisive passes. We get to 20 yards out then we just work it sideways 

id rather not see Pedro start for a few matches.

we could buy any forward on the planet and they would struggle to score.

 

 

 

What a horrible half by our lads. Bournemouth much better here. This possession we have give us zero edge if we don't play smart in the attack.

I have contacted FA for licensing footage of our games as cure for insomnia. This time next year I'll be a millionaire!

Lets bring CHO. On. With his direct running and good form in front of goal

ih hold on .............

All of the attacks have revolved around Hazard and Pedro.

Its like we may as well play with a false nine if we aren’t going to get Higuain into the game. Frustrating.

They have all been guilty of that, all but Azpilicueta that is. Everybody keeps slowing down when they approach the area. We are really poor against teams that sit a little deeper against us.

Possession with no incision. Good build up but we phaff around once we reach the 18 yard line , slow it down and don't get enough bodies into the box.
