f**k! I finished my beer seven minutes into the second half. What a rookie mistake...

Someone feign an injury for two minutes so I can run to the fridge

I've been saying it for a long time now, we need a new goalkeeper badly. Kepa is not an elite goalkeeper. Just because he's barely okay at reflexes and passing the ball around doesn't mean he's a starting GK at Chelsea.

Small, weak and not dominating enough. A better and taller goalkeeper wouldn't concede the goal vs Dortmund and the one today. We went from one of the best GKs in the world in Courtois to Kepa. We can buy all the outfield talent we'd like but with a weak GK (and manager), we won't win much. Someone like Sanchez (6'6) would be perfect, but I don't care to see anything from Brighton right now.

So you are watching this game and then you feel like Kepa is the reason we play like crap? Ok.

The keeper has been the least of our problems this season. Going forward, we need better, but he's the only reason Potter's draws haven't ended in defeat.

I don't understand Fofana's substitution.

Potter was getting confused giving instructions to both Fofana's playing simultaneously. Had to take one off.

Reminder that Southampton just sacked Nathan Jones after 14 games who had a much better record in his 14 games than Potter had at Brighton or has had here.

So Nathan Jones is available you say?

We’re capable of scoring, given a dozen chances and luck but not 2 goals. So this is either a draw or a defeat now.

Potter on borrowed time, this is a full blown crisis, f**king ‘Southampton’ at HOME!, Christ.

This squad is simply too good for him, he doesn't know what he's doing.

Potter's a fecking dumbass today for some reason.

Like he just lost a screw or something up top

I know you hate Potter but that is not true. Yes they won a few cup games. But they lost all but 1 of their league games under Jones.

I'm more a Chelsea lover than a football lover, which really helps this season.

We are stuck with Potter. Boehly stupidly gave him a 5 year contract.  Any coach with potters record would be sacked but our hands a tied with his contract... Potter might actually be a worse investment than Bakayoko

Wonder if they would even looked at Potter if they were looking for a manager right now.....probably not.    

There are Project Managers and there are 'Project Managers'...a Project Manager Potter is not.

Do cup games not count?

They won 5 of 14 games under Jones even beating City in a cul quarterfinal. 

As opposed to Potter who got knocked out in both cups in the first round without scoring a goal

I prefer Mendy honestly. I'm surpised people were so quick to turn on him after a rough patch, he was world class before AFCON

Truly it does. You go Val 💪💪 I'm really tired of seeing us lose

I thought Madueke was ok first half too. Made a few decent runs

That's all seems to be able to do at the moment, run. Not seen anything else from him so far. Seems to get the ball stuck under his feet a lot and has a lot of loose touches.

We were better under Lampard to be honest, Potter is by far the worst coach we've hired this century

So let's just go by recent games. An elite GK wouldn't concede the second goal to Fulham, Dortmund or today. If result stays like this that's 3 recent defeats that could have been draws/wins if we had a better GK, the most underrated position of the pitch so it's a big problem not a little one.

And when did I say Kepa is making us play like crap? All I said is he's a weak GK and not Chelsea quality.

I'm glued to the screen.... trying to find a Cajun restaurant in my area.

What Kepa did now????

Madueke is not ready to start week in weak out.. if he played like this under TT he wouldn’t have survived 6 months.. CHO protected the ball much better created more and yet he was rarely starting..

So Kepa's fault that we can't create and score.

GET OUT

Whenever he concedes a goal some "fans" decide to blame it on him. It's always the same.

No we are not. There is no pattern of play that will get us a goal much less goals. 

Our plan is pass to Enzo/Kova, pass it long to a bombing fullback then cross to the middle. Now we have Mount instead of DDF so who knows

Is this the first time two sides have both made a sub in which they've taken off and sent on two players with the same surname?
