Same old!

• Broja needs to start cause Auba is useless. Auba actually plays worse than Lukaku did when his head went! Broja is sharper!
• Mendy's strengths are Kepa's weaknesses, Kepa's strengths are Mendy's weaknesses, we need a decent keeper or Dr.Frankenstein!
• Don't sub your best player to keep in with the owners bringing on Pulisic, he doesn't score, my Betfred transaction history can prove it! For more stats see @HazardousChoice
• We need Kante cause an unfit Kova and a sh*t Jack Grealish isn't the answer.
• Maybe Tommy wasn't the problem and if he can't fix it, nor will a Brighton Manager.

Onwards and Downwards, gang!

Say what you want but it was evident that the players really tried hard tonight. I still don't see why so much faith is being put on Aubameyang but part from that everyone did their roles decently, even Broja and Ziyech could have scored the winner at the end.

Can they for the love of God just spend 2 whole training sessions shooting the ball into the net!

From every angle around the goal, just shooting practice...feels as if they are all allergic to the damn goal!

A team and squad with far too many passengers and mental midgets, no steel anywhere on the park. A soft centeredness that shows up every game, its so boringly predictable if lucky enough to score  first nearly always gift an equalizer then have no answer. No new manager bounce with that lot. Cant be upset with GP I hope now he realizes the magnitude of his task on hand. Luckily we've got a 2 week break before Viera makes us all suffer.

Yep, that was how I saw too. A comedy of errors for their goal starting from just inside the halfway line.

Started when Kova lost the ball in their half and stayed down injured...followed by the comedy club

I firmly believe the main problem here is a collection of sh*t players. Simple as that.

We don't have any match winners, the players don't have that mentality to get goals in the last 10 minutes of games like our great teams of old, and they're massively error prone all over thew pitch.

I also don't know why we had our 2 new centre backs on the bench either. This club has had some great times, and some great players, but we're in for a rough ride in the close future.

So many of these players could f**k off tomorrow and I genuinely wouldn’t give a sh*t.

I think that the problem is that neither would these players

I thought that was an improvement on what we have been seeing under Tuchel but two fundamental issues ultimately shone through which Potter needs to get a grip of.

First a total inability to kill games off

Second sh*tting ourselves after we concede.

Couldn't understand Sterling being taken off. Would have made more sense to put Sterling up front and bringing on Chilwell for Aubameyang.

However there were positives. Higher tempo, less f**king around with gradual passes which just allow teams to get their defence comfortably in order, and no sign of Pulisic and Ziyech on the pitch...at least that's what i saw.

Couldn’t have expected him to work miracles in one week 

Same old Chelsea, f**king boring. 

Unbeaten under Potter.

 

What really pisses me off is that when we get into the final third so often the player will turn around and play it backwards

Reece James very guilty of this tonight. Not a great game from him, and got a needless stupid booking. 

I'm not going to blame Pulisic.

But has there been a more uninspiring attacking substitution in Chelsea history when you need a goal late on than Bringing on Pulisic for Sterling?

May as well just send Puli on waving a white flag.

The inability to kill games was on Potter. Ruben + Borja sub made no sense.

Have you just visited us from a time machine.?

Havertz also has something mentally going on...I've never seen him this sh*t ever, every touch went wrong!

He is soo much better than that...his head is not right atm. You can see it.

Lets be honest, the only reason Pulisic wasnt sold in summer was because of fat Todd. The only reason hes been getting any game time this season is because of fat Todd. The only reason he was brought on for Sterling tonight was because of fat Todd. Fat Todd is thinking of shirt sales in America.

Never thought I’d miss our counterattacking football but I do.

I rather see Chukwuemeka than Ziyech again 

Well he hasn’t got a magic wand like his name sake, but he has time and I am right In thinking it was the managers first champions league match ? 
 

having said that the basics, stop the opposition scoring in the champions league group stages 

I saw green shoots of am attacking improvement though 

Win lose or draw I accept the result doesn't matter how elated frustrated I feel after but nothing can forgive the one hit wonder Havertz generational talent my arse and the man with the worse body language of any footballer I've ever seen Ziyech who looks like he'd be more psyched up for a kickabout with his kids in the park.

They shoot like lunatics pre match at our end.  Don't know why they bother

James did well compared to the rest tbh.

But yeah, his attitude will get him sent off again, much sooner than later.

During extra time if the 4th official wasn't there I swear he would of chased that guy and decked him.
