Good comeback, this side has potential but we have to cut out the defensive brain farts

Havertz is going to be a very important player for us

Franks changes paid dividends though not sure his final tactical change when he brought on Giroud had the desired effect,we lost space to operate in the final third, one point gained though

CHO  did well again when moved across to the left

Werner is in need of a goal 

This season is going to be fun but will have a lot of ups and downs 

1 - Thiago Silva is the first outfield player to make an error leading to a goal on their Premier League debut since Issa Diop for West Ham against Arsenal in August 2018. Rusty

Get in line !

Gotta give it to the players For the comeback. Need to start games like this instead of sleepwalking around the first half.

 

Mind you I. I was convinced VAR was gonna cock it up for us at the end

We would of be ok if Chilwell played, i think he would have stopped two of their goals from happening, the one when Alonso made the mistake and the one from the corner.

It was too soon for silva.. should never have started..

BS. The guy cleared 10 corners, free kicks and crosses. Imagine without him. 

Massively off the hook there. Piss poor performance.

I dunno what to make of that.

 

first half was absolutely horrible. Defense was absolutely shocking! Mistake by Silva, also James was poor for the 2 goals.  Yes we missed two chances when we were 1-0 down, but you can’t be that bad.

coming back from 3-0 down and managing to get a point is a positive. Given the circumstances.

We can’t repeat this performance again. We have spent on players it’s time now we put the results in. 

Very fortunate to get a point from this utter mess.

Credit to Mount, CHO, and Tammy for getting the point.

I feel this Chelsea team is going to need to scrap any points it can this season, because you can't count on ManU, Tottenham, and Arsenal having a sh*tty season like they did last year.

Well after reading many views during this game and trying to take all this in i have to Ask the question  does this CAR crash of a performance start with Frank or is it with the players that let Frank down via basic skills 

Mix of both. Can't account for Alonso and Thiago being sloppy because you can't anticipate sloppiness.

That being said, we are such a 2nd half team which means Frank is a reactive coach and not a proactive one.

bit of both.. some players just didnt look at it and under cooked such as SIlva.. and then with 20 minutes to go.. a bad tactical switch

We are getting bullied in midfield in almost every match, I genuinely think sorting that out should be our top priority.

Well at least that performance today will make the KIT suppliers rest at ease since the last thing on all minds is how much like dog poo that strip was today 

Christensen gets bullied off every striker in the league yet starts most games. I don’t get Frank’s love for him. For someone who played with some outstanding defenders, he is utterly clueless in organising a team defensively. The silver lining in the Liverpool game was the hope that Christensen wouldn’t play another game yet he’s right back in the team. 
 

Tammy scored but he holds us back so much. He cannot play a sole striker role. His hold up play is dreadful. 
 

Lampard had an absolute shocker today. When we brought it back to 3-2, we were in the ascendency and dominating and Tactical Frank decided to change the entire formation and nullify our dominance. 
 

Lampard is a legend as a player but my god he’s so clueless with game management and tactics. He is nowhere near the level we need to challenge. Happy Clappers will no doubt adopt their seal-like approach and accept this utter drivel week after week but I want more for our club. Gutted. 

Frank need to motivate the players before the match. Most of the times it feels like the players arrive just after an afternoon nap ,no sense of urgency

a match fit with the sharpness doesnt make that error.. 

You know the saying about 'blue tinted glasses' ? their must be an opposite affect going on with some people on here.

 

One silver lining is hopefully it shuts the f**king bellends up who constantly whine about Mason Mount. 

I would be happy not to see Alonso on the field again. His fault led to their first and he lost the scorer of the third just as the assist came in. Thanks for the years of service but I think his time with us is now spent.

He was our best defender today.

It won't. 

Besides those two mistakes in both games, Silva has been solid imo

Strange game. This is not what any Blue has been expecting. We shouldn't have to come from 3 goals down against a newly promoted team that nearly blew their automatic promotion in the last few games. Genuinely don't know what's going on here. Only got to see the Barnsley highlights but they seemed really slick. Today you'd think they were playing in treacle. We've seriously dodged one tonight.
