WTF Mason?  2nd time

In fairness, we're at least creating chances now, not making excuses for the average performance mind. But it's about time we started to create chances again.

Kova gonna whack Mount if he keeps that up.

Kovacic has been our best player for me. He's been positive for once instead of playing the safe option. Most of our attacks have come from his quick forward passing.

No, I was busy with some very needed cardio and a shower. But I watched the match through the shower stall on my tablet 

We're on course for 1-1 and a CHO goal  although I'd rather get the 3 points by any goalscorer....

Jorginho tries his first pass over 15 yards. Straight to an opponent.

Is there anyone in this team who can actually shoot from outside the box? Because I don't think so.

I'm still liking what I see, its not like we're not creating chances. Players are almost not used to being in positions to score and their final touch is letting them down. The movement off the ball has improved in under a week. 

This is such an incredible reach IMO. We’ve not even looked like scoring and our only shot on target are trundlers along the ground that my nan could save.

Please God, no sucker punch today

I hope the next training session has the entire team standing in front of a goal learning how to shoot for the entire duration. This is embarassing.

Can anyone shoot? Ffs.

We've had at least 2-3 clear cut chances. That have either been sent into the stands or fluffed

The very basic of basics of football is kick the ball into the net. 

Why are the players so sh*te at that? 

Can anyone remember what it was like to look forward to watching chelsea play?

Opponents can easily let Jorginho and Kovacic run towards their box with the ball. No way are those players going to shoot. So predictable to defend. You need everyone to pose a threat. 

Burnely's defensive line isn't exactly deep, there's room there to play someone in behind but our passing from defence and midfield is too safe. 

Seems too me that Tuchel has instructed them to create chances quicker and shoot more, because we are doing more of that today than we have in months. The shooting hasn't been good, but at least it's better than a few hundred passes before we even attempt a shot.

If you want cardio then go get a round in, the only exercise anyone needs to worry about
