Werner's last kick of the half summed it up. 

Ahh hope things improve in the second half ? 

Well done mendy

Kante looks a shadow of what he once was, sluggish and clumsy. 

 

But he’s world class

I know Pulisic plays on the left. But can it be that hard for a professional footballer to switch wings and be this quiet. I don't think he's fully fit yet. 

He was average playing on the right for Dortmund also. He is just more suited to the left, and it’s a bit criminal to switch him to the right after the season he just had.

Jorgi and Kova were great together when Kante was injured, I didn’t understand sticking Kante straight back in when he came back. 

Ooer - Time Warp.

Pulisic has to come all of the way back to defend at. his corner flag.... we aren't playing well

Mate literally the problem with this team has been not defending as a team. Him doing that is good. Your wingers have to defend still 

Zouma is awful at clearances

Its clear to see the Jorginho hatred on this forum, quite the contrary to how Mount is treated.

We've got you on the forum to make it about embarrassing Mount is and how perfect Jorginho is.

Usually we are worse second half, I don't see how we can be after that though. 

Need to bring on Kova first and foremost because we don't have a midfield so far

You got it wrong, it's "BuT hEs WoRlD cLaSs" 

f**k sake could have done with a goal there from Werner 

The Mount-LW experiment needs to end asap. He's just not a good winger and Pulisic needs to play there to get the best out of Pulisic.

It must be true then 

Don’t know if Pulisic doesn’t like the right or if he is a bit rusty still but we need to show more 

Well that was very ordinary. They are a very good side though, but still nothing going forward from us.

I'm having a really hard time understanding why the staff would do that.

Does anyone have any tactical reason why they would switch sides?  CP is deadly cutting back to the right on the left side.

Mount has offered nothing going forward, whereas the others at least look threatening in some areas despite some sloppy play. 

Really need to get him off the pitch and try something else.

every center back we have is crap at clearances. its like the ball is made of soap.

Can't deal with the insane press but they won't keep it up all match long.

sh*t first half, the only upside is that we haven't concdeded.

Instead of playing Mount out of position and Pulisic at LW, he puts both out of position and nullifies our attack. 
 

Good grief.

So someone said it looks like CFC is trying to allow possession and counter today?  

I wouldn’t say allow - Sevilla are very very comfortable - Chelsea have had a couple of chances though , perhaps Werner should have done more with the last kick of the half ?

One thing from this half, we finally have a GK but even this won't help us if we won't improve in the second half.

It takes Sevilla 3 seconds to get the ball from us, we're so awful in attacking possession. Havertz, Pulisic and Mount are useless, they don't even defend properly. 

Every 1v1 situation they beat us which leads to a foul or cross. One ball from James and that's it, Chilwell wasn't in the final third. 

In my opinion, that was a pretty awful half of football by us. We must be more aggressive, we must feel the leadership as a team on the pitch, control the game and push forward. 

Close Ocampos and Acuna with some aggression, shut their right side down and push forward. You can feel that Sevilla control the game because their three midfielders are playing the game.

We can't afford losing here, let's wake up! COME ON CHELS!!!
