The thing about last nights match is I have to admit, Arsenal were very good - right at Sheff Utd from the off and they carved them to ribbons. Sheff Utd were as bad as I have seen a side in the PL, but deep down, you know that if we had been playing them last night, we would have struggled to break them down and probably struggled to a 2-1 win after handing them a goal on a plate when one of our defenders gave the ball away whilst f**king about trying to play out from the back.

We're too content with creating a single good chance once every 10 minutes. When was the last time we got at teams and created a flurry of chances one after the other? It feels like years.

The thing that impressed me about Arsenal last night, was their desire to get off to a fast start. The intensity in their play was relentless, only surprise was it took them 4 mins to score. 

This is probably the one thing which has bugged me the most over the last few years with Chelsea, and even longer IMO.

When teams go away to Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City you literally have to survive that first 20 mins to give yourself any hope in that match, as they have the capacity to blow you away well before half time, and like last night these teams can come straight out the traps in away matches too.

You can look at these matches and think that teams roll over for them but in most cases they actually don't if we are honest with ourselves.

Liverpool, Arsenal and City start fast and continue to play with such intensity and accuracy that the opposition struggle to live with them and are normally in big trouble by half time.

 

The amount of times that Chelsea could take a good 30 minutes to even get a shot on target really does my head in, and I'm mainly talking about home matches against teams we should be beating.

We are not fast starters and seem to prefer to feel our way into matches - a slow labored European style.

This culture has got to change if we ever want to dine at the top table again.

Bayern looking awful, i dont know if they can comeback 😵

Really looking forward to the new format to European football. Can’t wait to lift those pots!

Brighton getting thrashed again. Is De Zerbi getting found out?

Lukaku banging them in for Roma, honestly if he wasn’t such a prick we could save ourselves 100m and have that goal scorer we need

Anyone who thinks De Zerbi is the answer am to our manager problems will be in for a shock.

He gets teams playing well but they seem to have no way to see out games just full attacking even when you are getting done over and over again on the counter.

Away from home on a European night the first aim is to not get beat and if you are losing don’t get battered. 

If any Liverpool (or Arsenal fan for that matter) need another example why they’re loathed or people would rather citeh keep winning the league, it’s the sh*t Alexander Arnold, Klopp and their supporters spout about how winning means more to them…oh fcuk off. It’s this putting themselves on a pedestal/superior to anyone else that everyone finds so fcuking irritating. Apparently they not only care about winning more than anyone else supposedly, they also have the super power of knowing how other club’s feel about winning too…do me a favour.

They will never understand why people hate them because they are entitled. They think everybody should like and respect them as much as they do. They can't comprehend that nobody outside of Liverpool gives a f**k about them, and this is why we enjoy to see them lose.

Spot on!

I honestly would rather see City win the league 5 times in a row than it spread out between those 3 clubs if it came down to it.

Arsenal are the Liverpool of the south in terms of entitlement and they don’t even realise it - 2 football clubs with no self awareness.

The way they are talking at present you’d of thought they won the league last season.

Neither club have spent any money on transfers either…bunch of frees and academy players 🙄

I fully expect Brentford to roll over for Arsenal today.

No doubt. It'll be another 5-0 or something. Arsenal just smash everyone atm

Immediately as well. 
 

We are such a poor footballing team. 

Ramsdale should've dummied that and tricked him on the clearance, how embarrassing! Mendy-levels that!
