Jorginho's definitely grown on me but his long balls forward are atrocious.

That's Proper Chels right there.

Another 10 for beating the bindippers!

 

We generally live to a very high age in my family, so there's more where that came from 

uh-oh we may have to deal with 15 minutes of Danny Welbeck

Lukaku looks knackered now.

Lukaku is always stuck in one mode for the whole match, when he is pinning defenders he only does that, he doesn't make inside runs which could open them up when mount is on the wing

I don't think he was the problem today

Wow Jorgi . . . 

I hate to pick on him but he's such an overrated player.  He only got the awards he did because he happened to be on the teams that won the CL and the Euro's.  

But realistically he's only the third best CM on Chelsea!

I don't hate him, he's a solid player but he's so over-rated if you ask me.

Welbeck coming on. The has beens love scoring against us.

One bad game and it's already getting started...

He's the best DM though.

Alonso really is one of those players that only plays well when things are going well for the team. When things get tough, you can almost guarantee a few stinkers from him.

If I can chose which 10 minutes of my life to give up, can it be the next 10 minutes?

C’mon Jorginho ... just take a pen for us..😂

Should have been red here

Nobody disputes he's inconsistent, so there is no "point to prove". And no, he didn't start playing last week, but he's in one of the best competitions now, where mistakes are called out immediately. Practically nobody is 7 out of 10 or higher at a young age. You might want to lower your expectations.

Maybe he's the one that should lower his expectations and go on loan to a Championship club or mid-table PL like Gallagher.  Champions League winner or not 21 or not he'd better start showing us why he's worth the 150k a week or whatever he's earning because he sure doesn't look like he's playing well enough.  Personally I see very little progress if any over the last 2 or 3 seasons.   For a winger he rarely takes on defenders and beats them, he makes poor decisions and for the most part he's indecisive.  I think the arm around the shoulder time has come to an end....time to grow up and be counted. 

Mount shouldn't have gotten a card there honestly.  

What did Mount do wrong, this was all on Bissouma.

You can't not agree with Klopp and Tuchel when it comes to this time of the season and the lack of protection for players. I wanted to blame it on excuses and sour grapes from Klopp, but now I tend to sway to his side of the argument. Our players are dropping like flies and the constant games can't help this. Maybe it is an excuse though, seeing as Brighton aren't being affected terribly by the situation. I really don't know what to think.

Unfortunately the same can be said for a few of the players over the years.

He's had more than one bad game.  He has had some good games too but third place for the Ballon d'Or and UEFA men's player of the year?  Really he's not at that level.

Isn't Kante a DM?  If any blue deserves the honors Jorgi got it's Kante if you ask me.  You almost never see Kante have a bad game.

Brighton have had 2 games cancelled and don't have any european matches

Box-to-box midfielder is more like a CM.

It's an excuse. We have a big squad. Injuries are just down to bad luck.

true. I didn't think about that. good point. 

Lukaku should be taking it first time, what a waste.
