This is lovely football I’ve said it over and over we need to give sarri a chance his football is brilliant when it’s firing on alll cylinders 

It's also full of weaknesses, as we have seen with Burnley's goals.

Well if we don't win this, no point of being in top 4 at all.

Normally quite pessimistic but we'll win this tonight, we look good. 

This zonal marking is ridiculous

Wait, till you see the second half. 

2 f**king chances 2 goals come on what’s the point in all this lovely attacking play if the defenders just stand there like dummies 

Hazard your sh*te !!!!!!!!!!

He needs to stop using zonal marking. It’s been a nightmare all season.

In all of my years as a football fan, I have rarely ever seen Zonal marking best man marking over a period of time.

Feel pretty cheated.

f**king shame isn’t it attackers doing all that work and defenders fannying about, this cb pairing no good Rudi holds it together need him back 

They still not mentioned it was possibly offside for their 2nd goal, looked like it was on my tv paused.

 Four Chelsea player grouped together in the penalty box, two of them bump into each other - while defending a free kick.  Do we practice defense at Cobham? 

This is pretty entertaining

I hate seeing zonal marking. It allows the attackers to get a run on a defender, it’s  much easier for an attacker who is running on to the ball unchallenged that when they’ve got pressure on from a marker.

Well at least Higuain is trying .....

I agree mate, but Callum is 5 years younger so if that wasn’t the case then we’d have to be asking questions of Ruben in my opinion. However, I think they’re both important first team players now. We look better when these two play but RLC is key, especially in our midfield which lacks the power and attacking danger that he adds.

The question then becomes if Callum has the patience that RLC did?  Obviously when CHO is meant to have clubs like Bayern interested it can inflate ego a little

It’s nothing to do with the CB pairing when the two goals we conceded were from set pieces. It’s the fact we’re set up to zonal mark and it’s costing us goals. We should go back to man marking at set plays.

Guess your feeling a bit up and down then

well done ref, no more f**king about wasting time, people pay good money to watch football..

Jorginho's been very poor so far, he's hitting a load of poor balls forward.

We have had some amazing midfielders - Frank, Cesc etc in front of Ruben in his time and some very good aka Matic. Callum has underperforming Willian & Pedro in front of him so it’s slightly different in my opinion. He has been hugely under used by us this season and I’m sure if he’d had at least a decent amount of game time in the PL this year then he’d be a lot more content.
