Well, gotta say we're doing our best to keep Arteta as Arsenal manager forever.

Tuchel: why do we always have to donate points to Arsenal?

Watch us do exactly the same against Man utd as well. We'll gift them goals and lose, just like we did here. Just like we do every time.

I guess this win will buy Arteta another year at Arsenal charge. Are we doing this on purpose to keep him there?

Klopp pretty much always puts out his best XI ... I don't see why we have to rotate so much when we don't have to. We get no rhythm and patterns in our play, or understanding between the players. Bizarre ... 

United and Everton will be happy they have games against us coming up. They need some points and we seem to be in the giving mood.

This result won´t change a thing in the end, but VAR disgusts me. PL referees are the biggest dumbf**ks on the planet. I´m sorry. How in the f**king world can this decision stands, when it is OBVIOUS that Saka is holding Azpi´s arm. Unbelievable.

Even if VAR denied the pen, chances we still go on to lose 2-3. Forget the VAR, look at what TT did. Unforgivable.

What the f**k was Azpi doing there? Got real aggressive with the fans who seemed to be just applauding him.

It's difficult not to believe there are really serious issues within the club. The attitude stinks. Maybe no one feels they have a future at the Bridge.

Horrific performance. Tuchel got it so badly wrong today. Maybe our worst performance since they did us at the emirates at the end of lampards tenure.

We have lost 3 home games in the row for the first time since 1993. Record broken.

I hope that Christensen and Sarr won't start any games for Chelsea ever again!

Seeing how Liverpool are set up. I would rather have 11 quality players than 22 average ones. Squad depth is overrated. All this resting and tinkering yet Klopp plays near enough the same team challenging for 4 trophies.

Lost to a sh*te arsenal team for a second year in a row and gifted it to them on a plate too. Utter bollox. Tuchel has to look at himself in the mirror..the team he picked was sh*te. How can Chalobah not get in that defence? Sarr shouldn’t play for the club again. Hopeless.

Well we changed the team around and got punished again, not just by Arsenal but also that ludicrous penalty they got at the end. How on earth did that stand when Saka cheated that by pulling his arm and falling over clamping it under his armpit?! Got me proper wound up now. Bloody football.

Looks like Dave was having a go at some Chelsea fans when he came off. Needs to take that into the changing room and let Tuchel have some.

I think the fan was gesticulating that they should have fought harder 

One of the performance when you can't understand how poor we were looking. 

Playing at home, being played so easily by your opponent it really hurts as a fan.

I can understand that there are mistakes and they're part of football, but the second half was probably the worst half of football under Tuchel. 

We deserved to lose and I hope the players will understand that performances like this are unacceptable. 

COME ON CHELS!

Number 1 mission for next season turn SB into a fortress again, our away form is great. Home form atrocious, I think someone said that's 3 Ls on the trot at home. Why couldn't the players motivate themselves when it's a direct rival I just don't understand. 

Timo, Mason, James and Alonso were all decent today can't really fault them. Lukaku personally don't think he had a bad game just not the greatest, when involved he looked alright. Azpil until the penalty had been decent as well.

Kante and RLC ok, but didn't provide nearly as much cover for the back 3 as they should. Also failed to move the ball quickly to start counters. 

Havertz decent when he came on, starved of opportunities. Silva decent. Sarr and Christensen awful, Ziyech non existent since coming on, hasn't received the ball nearly enough. Mendy has looked shaky playing out from the back recently and I would of hoped he could have stopped their 3rd goal but I don't put any blame for any of the goals on him. 

Outplayed at home, a combination of lack of desire, bad team selection and I guess what we have to come call the Arteta curse in recent seasons. 

On the balance of things this game was for pride, we still have the chance to extend our lead over the chasing pack to 8 points since we have a game in hand.

Heads up lads we take the L and move, I think our recent fixtures have taken their toll on us and we can see what happens when starting players are missing though injury Kova, Rudi, Kai need to start for the rest of the season. Hopefully Kova and Rudi recover soon. 

Need a huge clear out. A few special mentions below

AC incompetent

Saar a woefully footballer 

Lukaku nothing needs said

Pulisic injury prone and ineffective 

Alonso times up

That game, probably more than most, explains why we are so far behind City and Liverpool. Not just in points but in quality and consistency. Those two teams are not perfect every week either but rarely if ever would you watch them and say as many as 4 of the starting eleven had howlers. Maybe one, at worst two.

You'd put Cheek, Christensen, Sarr and Lukaku in that category easily tonight. All four were horrific.

Kante was at best average but probably a little worse.

Even the players who looked good in the first half such as Werner and Mount went totally off the boil in the second half.

Tuchel got it wrong tonight. This was not the game to be resting players.

Bad game to rest players Loz, but I seriously wonder if it would have made much difference? With Kova and Rudi injured, you look at some of the others and wonder where the fight is. Yep, Mount and Werner in first half but other than that, piss poor, the LOT of them. Prima dona's who switch it on when it suits them but tonight are quite happy to pick up their massive wages for doing f**k all.

So angry tonight. Gooners lose 3 games on the bounce and yet we let them embarrass us tonight, just as Brenford embarrassed us. We could lose to West Ham and United playing like this. That thread re exodus of players - it HAS to happen as tonight just underlined how much dross we have in our squad.

One almighty f**k up by all

Tired minds but play your strongest side at the start, overthinking by the coach

James has to be the wing back

Christensen is in Barcelona already…make sure he doesn’t wear blue again

Sarr and Alonso recipe for disaster…Azpi had a poor second half 

Midfield all over the show …we play back and side when progressive passes are on

Attack with no cutting edge

Still lots of work to do for top four…we have to make sure we don’t bottle it

i refuse to believe azpi was taking it out on fans undeservedly, there must have been a right bellend in the crowd

Why should I forget it. Mabye the next time such a horrendous decision stands in a game that matters to us. Thomas Tuchel might have gotten his line-up wrong, that doesn´t justify the VAR ref to be utter sh*t at his job.

Malang Sarr is on 120 grand a week ... he's our third highest paid defender after Chilly and Dave. Another Marina masterclass ...
