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

Not saying he was great but we were worse after Lukaku went off. Barely did a thing in attack.

Are we going to pretend that arsenal were great? Watford would have scored 4 if we play like this

Assuming Kovacic is unavailable, team above is what i'd go for. 

Seen Kante get spun by Arsenal a few times with their quick passing. Give Lukaku a chance to bully Arsenal's physically weak back line again. Mount to set the goals up and Werner to get in behind on the good form he's currently on. Wing backs seem to pick themselves at the moment. Hopefully time to see Chalobah back in the line up too, but wouldn't be too hopeful. 

Heart says it should be an easy walk in the park, so 3-0 Chelsea on current form.

Realistically my head says we'll pinch a 1 or 2-0 or they'll end up playing the game of their life and we'll lose 4-2.

My genius is truly a curse at times.

How can Christensen not make a simple pass back to the keeper? f**k me, shambolic for an experienced defender. 

Wouldnt suprise me if sky would make a big deal about the azpi incident at the end

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.

Easy to blame on individuals but we had a number of different players over the last 3 games and still shipped 11 goals. Unbelievably bad, we are almost up there with United when we play like this.

Our home form is particularly worrying. Particularly when we still have 4 more to come at the bridge and need points to confirm top 4. If we beat West Ham it will only be because they have one eye on the Europa Semi.

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.

VAR is there for clear and obvious errors. It wasn’t clear and obvious.

But if that VAR decision gave Arsenal the points, I understand you fuming at them but we lost even IF the decision was given to us. So this VAR doesn’t matter. 

Direct your anger for the 80+ minutes of football. And how awful the line up and the players were.

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

34k a week.

You've got to be moronic to believe we'd put a player on 120k a week and sh*t him straight on loan to Porto's B team. 

Less of the Marina slander too, she does great work for this club.

The players can moan at the fans all they like, but they have had to watch consistent sh*te from our lot at home all season. If you can't get in the mood for a game against one of your biggest rivals, then what the f**k are you doing playing for Chelsea?

Yes, our lot need to rediscover their noise, but when the performances are so sh*t for so long, it's only a matter of time before they go quiet. We have also had to put up with so much off the field sh*t in recent times too, so I don't want to hear Tuchel coming out with sh*t about the lack of noise in our home games. The players need to set the standard, their constant cowardice in these types of games is why the fans are f**ked off. If you can put in a world class effort against Real Madrid, then there are zero excuses to not at least put the same amount of effort against Arsenal at home. I'm sick of it happening every season. Every game counts, and until we rid ourselves of these half hearted performances where the players don't give a sh*t, then they will never challenge for a league title again.

He was right. We got three assists for their four goals. Disgraceful performance.  In fact I think there should be a close check on betting patterns around fking excuse for a defensive performance.  That Sarr fella isn't a real footballer surely. He must be related to someone who has got him in. And when we will learn that Christensen isn't good enough and doesn't want to play for us anyway

The players should be ashamed of the constant poor performances they put in against this lot. Arsenal don't ever have to play well against us because our lot don't seem to give a sh*t about it. The way we approach our games against them shows that they couldn't give two sh*ts about the rivalry between the two clubs.

Players definitely should be ashamed but Tuchel honestly takes the biggest blame IMO for letting said players start.

Azpi was in a heated discussion with a supporter, who it seemed like, was trying to convey that they should have went in harder or fought harder 

I’m fuming that I care more than these players about a London derby.

Arsenal players are apparently having a party in the dressing room at Stamford Bridge.

That’s embarrassing on our part, whatever happened to London pride!!

Less of the personal insults fella. 

There are other sources on the internet that list him at £120K. I'd agree £34K is more likely for a freebie, but with this club who knows ... we supposedly opted to pay Lukaku £325K a week after all ... more than double what he was on at his previous club.

We need Rüdiger and Thiago to start, we cannot play sarr and christensen anymore.

This result will supply talksh*t and sly sports with a topic at least. Get ready for the arsenal love in again. Arteta is great, how amazing Smith Rowe is, blah, blah, blah. 

Absolute sh*te.. sucidal tactics.. 2 of the goals we conceded today were identical to RM the first one similar to what Mendy did and the third one too..

we are f**kin cup team because we don’t have players who have elite mentality.. look at where Alonso is for their second goal .. Sarr is the worst defender to play CB for this club and we have known this since pre season friendlies .. 

AC is a fair weather defender and less we speak about our midfield getting overrun the better.. TT costs us at least 2-3 games a season with his tactics too.. needs to cut it out.

Their victory against us will be in the All or Nothing Amazon documentary they have coming up.

I am so pissed off at TT. He didn’t learn from last season and we cannot grow when you keep making the same mistakes over and over again.

That’s what annoys me, if they were excellent and really outplayed us that’s something else. But we were soooooo poor but everyone is acting like arsenal were brilliant 

Edited April 20, 20224 yr by azpi28

Sometimes I think we just overcomplicate  things, if we don't have the right level of players for it don't play 5 defenders. The main reason this system works is that when we play 5 out and out defenders in our starting line up all 5 are world class. 

 The difference between Chilwell, Rudiger, Silva, Azpil and James vs Alonso, Sarr, Christensen, Azpil and James is night and day.

Might as well have just played 4 defenders and had an extra attacker, Ziyech and Pulisic would have enjoyed the open game today. We didn't even have to play a back 4 we could keep the same shape and play Ziyech on the wing like vs Spurs where he dominated the game or Pulisic who can run at the opposition with the ball and play high and wide unlike Azpil who has to remain closer to our half because of his age and diminishing pace.

Edit: Also for anyone wondering if Sarr is listed as being on £120k a week that means realistically it's closer to £50-70k a week after tax

Edited April 20, 20224 yr by LongtimerLurker

Watching Sarr put in a performance like that when his weekly wage is essentially what I earn in a year...

They famously done it at Villa a few weeks ago as well, we shouldn’t be having Arsenal dancing around in our dressing room.
