Goalkeepers have been sh*te so far this season. I dream for the days when we can go back to having confident goalkeepers that aren't panicking from corners and can claim a set piece. Everybody is asking for the ball playing goalkeepers, but the ball playing goalkeepers are the ones making the most basic errors.

Because they're not goalkeepers anymore. Basically they're players who've been given gloves and an additional task of preventing goals. It's just stupid the basic goalkeeping tasks that this current generation can't perform.

Cech one week then Kepa the next. Honestly. 

Time for Petrovic?

When all of your attacker are running on fume, leaving them on is worse

If all your forward players can't last 90 minutes this early in the season then you will not win matches like this

Madueke was sooooo Shyte... He offered absolutely nothing and was a liability.  

The kid has magic in his boots. Give him time.

United winning this evening might f**k me right off.

Thanks for your insight Mr. Noobs.

We bossed Arsenal. With bit of luck, better finishing we could have been 3 or 4 up and it would have been game over (Palmer and Jackson). They got lucky due to keeper error.

For you to say we are just not good anymore is so wide off the mark when there are clear signs we are getting there.

Didn't deserve a draw there, Arsenal got lucky, as per f'ing usual

Images don't tell you the whole story. The pass wasn't even aimed at Gallagher, it was for Enzo, but he smashed it so hard that it went straight passed Enzo and became a hospital pass for Gallagher. It's 100% on Sanchez.

It was easier got Gallagher to collect that pass than rice. And rice got it. 

Gallagher was on his heels. 

Sanchez poor pass, but it should still have been recovered by Gallagher

Even Rednapp saying we were by far the better team tonight.

Doesn't matter if we can't convert it into wins. Remember the same things were being said after the pool game which we couldn't win and see what happened in the next run of games. We need to beat the big boys to gain the confidence of a top team. That's the reason I'm f**king outraged with this result. We had this in the palm of our hand and we threw it away.

Yeah we desperately need to turn these into wins. Had luck on our side for the first time in ages and we still blew it.

A better performance than most, and a few good individual performances, but still many serious problems.

A penalty and a fluke. Our lack of goal threat is shocking. Jackson is terrible. It was like going down to 10 men.

And that keeper… I lost count of how many times I’ve said I have serious doubts about him. I no longer have doubts. He’s garbage.

We still need to spend on a proper keeper and a proper centre forward.

And Enzo needs to get his head together.

But at least we weren’t utter crap and we didn’t lose, so it’s progress I suppose.

The performance was excellent except keeper and Jackson. We bossed Arse and made them inferior.  We created better chances and if it wasn't for the idiot keeper would have won comfortably this one.  We played well as a team today. The keeper let the team down. Jackson disappeared after stepping on the pitch.

Before kick off :-

    Chelsea fans happy with a draw

    Arsenal fans gutted with a draw

 

After the final whistle:-

    Chelsea fans gutted with a draw

     Arsenal fans happy with a draw.

 

Footballs funny isn't it.

Such a wasted performance. We put in a great 90 minutes, with nothing to show for it. Entirely too believable, but we are obviously beginning to turn things around.

For me it's about the results. Playing well in patches doesn't get a team anywhere, especially a young team. Results give teams the self-belief and confidence and it doesn't matter how you get them. Yes we should've been 4 up. Yes we bossed them but ending up throwing it away. That hurts and that's been a theme for us since the CL run. We've simply been unable to get results against our top rivals even after playing well many times.

Have to watch this one as I had no chance to see it. Can't see the disappointing aspect in 2-2 draw. Maybe after watching it. Arsenal is in a habbit of winning so usually teams like that find ways to get a result.

If you ask your attacker to press like that they won't last for 90 min.

Not really true, Gallagher was never on for a pass, Rice was stood right on him and it was a stupidly risky pass. I agree that Gallagher was definitely caught out, but it was never a pass that should have been made.

Home form continues to be a worry, as it was last season.

1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses.

The win vs a basic cert to be relegated.

Hopefully, people will realize that this Chelsea team is not a bad team and poch is pretty good. It has many raw player, too many for a top team but this is the strategy that our board is running (thank God Palmer is not raw). 

 

 

I don't remember being so angry with a draw.

Tell that to Salah who is over 30 or Man City attackers. When we where a top team we never let 2 goal leads slip especially in the last 15min. When was the last time we beat a top team in the league you play and press for 97min or you won't be successful

He looks a cut above than most of the players we've signed. Quality.

Hey @mojoyou got gifs of the 2 Arsenal goals for those of us who could not see the game and want to see how we blew it?
