I've eaten a bag of mixed nuts. Wrong choice?

great idea. you must be nuts watching this

Fairly good in spells, a couple of really good transitions. With better finishing we could be a couple ahead. A big improvement on what we've seen over the past couple of weeks. Chilwell is getting a lot of opportunities on the left and is working well with Félix and Havertz to get space behind Ayling. Definitely the better team in the first half, which considering our recent past I will happily take.

On the plus side, we haven't conceded a goal after 9 seconds today LOL

Wait for the 2nd half to start before saying that.

To be fair, they got it right with Badiashille who might be better than Fofana. 

give Fofana some time also though, just coming back. Looks solid enough to me 

In fact they are only in the conversation because how poor we are in advanced positions. For the first 20 mins the defence was fine as we dominated but as Leeds realised that we're totally toothless it's put more pressure on the defence and become more visible how fragile we are

No idea how he is starting over Trev when we are playing a back 3 ffs 

It's like Chalobah is being harshly treated because we didn't pay over £30m for him. Chalobah isn't perfect, he puts in the odd really bad performance, but he's shown us more than the 2 CB's we paid over £100m for.

Hazard for £30m+ was a bargain. 

Kante for £30m+ was a bargain. 

Fabregas for £30m+ was a bargain

Costa for £30m+ was a bargain. 

What bargains have we bought since those players? 

Not as good but Mendy for £18m?

Nothing. He offers nothing. He doesn’t even know how to play a one two! It’s actually like playing with 10

For almost 80m I'm expecting a game changer, not a player that offers so little to the team. Stop playing him he's doing nothing. 

A very average half there, not seen too much encouragement from anyone.

Kovacic started well, pressing and driving forward but has faded, same with Raheem.

Havertz is so tippy tappy how about lashing the ball once in a while.

We are still far too safe, Chilwell great at getting in behind but when he receives it to feet tends to pass back all the time.

Maybe it's a mindset in the players, they just don't know what to do now, or have accepted this is as good as it gets.

Please let's put some real urgency into our play, I'd rather go down with a fight than a whimper.

KTBFFH

Well, as things stands, it’s time for a Potter masterclass half time team talk and a 78th min all out attacking sub, bringing on Ziyech for Sterling. 

Please put Mudryk on. Try something different

It's embarrassing. We have spent so much money since we signed those four players and still haven't replaced their quality. Not even close to it.

Maybe you only saw the first 25 minutes

So frustrating as he’s a nailed on starter every single match. He wouldn’t get a game anywhere else and also explains why Germany were so sh*t at the WC 

Boy we look like a Championship Team who are sh*tting their pants constantly on. 

Many of them have won CL Title last year and now looking like a Circus Clown Crew.

Every manager since he signed seems to favour him for some reason. I don't understand it. He must be a magician on the training ground because on gameday he looks bang average. The excuses for him are running low and impossible now because he's been at the club for 3 seasons at this point and nothing different.

Thiago Silva for free. 

Mudryk would be the talk of the town if he had signed for Arteta 

Noticed with Havertz needs about 3 chances before he scores.........

Growing increasingly confident Potter couldn’t prepare his dinner, let alone a Chelsea team

About the only one. Crazy isn't it. We never replaced the only 20 goal a season striker we've had in the past decade. Never replaced the best creative attacker we've had at the club in the past decade. Never replaced the best creative CM we've had for a decade. Kante is still at the club and yet we still haven't found a replacement for him. This is one of the biggest reasons we are in this situation. We lost the best players we had when we last won the league, so no surprise our domestic form is crap.

3? You’re having a bloody laugh.

Thiago Silva for free is arguably the biggest bargain in our history
