Mendy with another clanger to add to the list. 

Bloke is a liability. The only surprise is that this time the brain fart wasn't with the ball at his feet.

The 2 defenders (couldn't quite see who it were, Thiago Silva perhaps and who?) didn't cover themselves in glory either letting Awoniyi outjump them so easily.

Mine was a lie but might have a hint of truth in it

It feels like your stat was spot on.

Some others that feel true:

More players scored their first ever career goals, against chelsea, than against any other team. 

17 out of 20 EPL clubs scored their goal of the season against Chelsea.

Players/teams going through a goal drought, are 97.3% more likely to break that drought against chelsea than any other team.

Oof Madueke - good that he has the confidence I suppose.

Some of Thiago's positioning is mad for a centre-back in a back four.

[Scott Harris]

We had Felix running at the defence there, and then we play it out to the wing and try and play intricate passes through the eye of the needle. Be more f**king direct for once, I am sick of all this intricate bollocks that they are sh*t at 99% of the time.

[Gcgoal2012]

Yup we got a top forward 😩. And still people asking for more wingers. We need a real 9

[Backbiter]

Shocking mistakes all over the pitch

[Frankie8Lampard]

Havent watched us in 3 games and was just reminded how painful our matches are. I guess the only positive is that the youth are getting a run-in.

Oh - they were also sh*t.....But a decent keeper clears out the 3 of them (2 defenders and the attacker) to claim the ball.

The concerning thing is Mendys strength was crosses and his overall presence defending anything in the air. He simply flaps now. 

when it comes to his foot/ball skills and passing, he is woeful there. Has to go this summer - just not good enough 

It look's like he's lost it mentally to me ... the errors are always poor decision-making ... not really been the same since he was subbed off last season in the EFL Final penalty shoot out after having a blinding game ...

Honestly boggles my mind that people still complain that we don't have the right wingers when its clear we need a number 9

Kovacic, you're f**king sh*t. Why is it so hard for this lot to play a string of passes without giving it away?

I don't mind him being sh*t (I do, of course) but I can't excuse him just jogging around the pitch clearly not giving a flying f**k. Hook him now.

I'd take that #9 playing for Forest.

[alwayshopeful]

99% of teams think 3 points is a guarantee playing chelsea at home .  ......they arent wrong.

What we need is more than a number 9. What we need is a group of players that are going to approach every game with hunger and determination. This lot turn up and play sloth football.

O% of teams in the history of football have made more lineup changes from game to game than Chelsea in 2022-3.

And Frank keeps picking those who display the least hunger and determination. That doesn’t exactly help

Chelsea players have more sh*t hairstyles, per capita, than any other club in the northern hemisphere

Our owners try to sign more big name wingers Neymar, Mane, Raphinha or backup Atlanta attacker from Italy Hjolund.

we clearly need  real 9 or Lautario( friend with Enzo)

[nonotnowjim]

We should get Navas. 

[Backbiter]

99% of our crosses are played to players who are not there.

[rocker_joker]

Madueke end pass always wrong. Lad needs to work on that. 

[Scott Harris]

Mangala should have been booked by now. The guy is just fouling our players whenever he gets the chance.

[alwayshopeful]

chelsea will have the biggest fire sale than any other team in the world.

[Gol15]

Enzo needs to work on that...
