Missed the game. Assume it was the usual sh*t and we got lucky at the end?

They did not show a replay of the offsides that negated our first goal in the US, which I thought was very weird.  When I saw it in real time, it looked real close, like maybe Rom’s big toe was offsides, but I thought the VAR refs were supposed to allow those super close calls to be onside.

My thinking too which raises suspicions.

Looked pretty clear on my stream, seconds before it died. More than just a toenail offside.

Three points, happy with that, but still... Lukaku!!! What is the point of him really? First time since I have started watching this sport I see a player come in, regardless of the amount spent on him, and basically disrupts and entire style of play. He is basically an extra defender for the opposition teams. Lukaku and Grealish, 200M combined spent by Chelsea and City on two players that have had zero impact so far because they are both dross and 30M players at best.

The 9 men of Chelsea get the job done. Onwards and upwards !

It was a poor performance, especially the 2nd half, but I wouldn't say we were lucky. We still had the best chances of the game and should have scored from a few chances before we eventually did. Mendy also wasn't tested once. Palace may feel they deserved the draw though.

Just got back from game so not read through the pages. It was a really poor game. I not a big moaner on players and give dogs abuse but seeing Lukaku today with Chelsea in and out of possession was awful.

Centre halves didn’t have to move! His touch map at half time was two and one of those was the kickoff!  Amazed he got 90 mins along with Pulisic who was poor as well

Really slow build up play again, with no one able to travel at speed with the ball. Enjoyed our great support as ever. Funny chanting about world champions whilst watching this performance

It felt like Ziyech was on his last chance to impress a few months back, he had to take it or his career here would have been over. It's great to finally start seeing some quality from the man.

Not really. He was either coming back from Injury or played out of position.

Whenever he was played on the right he impressed

Palace did not deserve that.

All of our players bar Mendy, who had nothing to do, Silva and Ziyech were different shades if sh*t.

Pulisic looked like someone playing football fir the first time.

What an awful watch that was, credit to our away fans, they were the MoTM.

That's why our away fans were my MoTM.  We serve up that steaming pile to them and they see still top draw.

Tough match, but good to grind out three points.

Nice finish by Ziyech.

Michael Olise is going to be some player, he's another one we let go that could come back to haunt us. Him and James on the right wing would be sublime (hint to Southgate). Ziyech is 29 next month and has 2.5 years left on his contract, we will need a replacement within 2 seasons. Olise is the perfect replacement.

Watching the Rangers vs Dundee Utd game...what a player Ryan Kent is...ideal LWB for us...destroyed Dortmund during the week...

Not for me. He goes missing too often in any games I watch. Not consistent enough to credit a spot in a Chelsea team 

TT has added jetlag on top of  fixture exhaustion for sluggish performances.

.

Dunno if he says this to players  too , hope not

Yeah sorry I am a fan of most of what TT has broughr us, but the tired because of A and B and now C excuses is ridiculous. Manage the team and their fitness better then.

Just a simple screenshot from youtube

that is havertz as lw with kante and Lukaku in the box. 🤮🤮

compare to puli chance and ziyech goal

You don't have to be genius to see that our two biggest box threat are havertz and lukaku. So maybe get them in the box more and ask ziyech and puli to attack far post. Instead the majority of the game I watched Havertz picking the ball wide with Sarr supporting and puli in the middle.

Before the game I was excited, finally 442. Puli lw, ziyech rw. No more wingless, boring football and it was havertz as lw and puli in the middle

Sincerely, its getting annoying. You have a whole week to rest, and you come out and say your team is tired. Funny coach.
