None of the attackers are involved really. Just bits and pieces here and there, and it's because we are holding the ball far too long in defence. 

Agree with that. Also think theres something not quite right between Jackson and Palmer, seem to occupy the same spaces at times. That can be easily corrected, though

When we move the ball faster we look like we cant create chances all the time

I wish Maresca would try Palmer on the right and Nkunku in the hole.

Jackson doesn’t deserve to be dropped but Nkunku has to play. Surely we can play both.

Nkunku situation will become interesting if Jackson continues like this. Not sure why he's got so many "haters" but he's vital to the way we play as his movement is fantastic and so far this season he's putting his chances away so nothing to complain about then! But Nkunku can't be particularly happy.

Our earliest league goal since 2012

Cause of no help from Noni. Most right backs will get rinised 

Yep can't disagree, but Fofana just isn't a RB

he does deserve to be dropped. 

The last time we won at west ham werner scored the winner. Doesn't mean he didn't deserve to be dropped either

Are we just pretending that before today he hasn't been really really sh*t?

Maresca want his winger to play very wide, that is not Palmer game

Our wingers need to help our FBs

Let’s just acknowledge the class of the second goal.

Well done lads, more of that please and less of the last 20 mins.

This is by design though. Press bait

Certainly don't think he's been sh*t this season. Good v Wolves and delivered against Palace & West Ham.

Not a world beater but he's a good forward for me.

Cucu has been rinsed by Kudus a few times. Is that Madueke's fault too?

Why would it be, Sancho should be helping cucu and noni should be helping Fofana.

Ahh - it's expected. One swallow doesn't make a summer...

I give Jacko credit for 1) opening the scoring, 2) running into space 3) a cracking finish for the second goal. But let's not pretend that wet spam were awake and playing well. It was as bad a start from a team against us as I can remember with their defenders half asleep.

I hope we can score uncontested goals like that every week- but it is highly unlikely

This will be a good test for our two winger defensively. 

Fofana is not a natural rb and 1v1 is not Cucu strength. They need help from Sancho and Madueke 

This happen. Kudus pretty much can do whatever he want vs cucu and you can tell that Fofana is not a rb.

Absolutely delighted for Wacko, if he does well we all do….but he’s been fairly mediocre in his Chelsea career so far I reckon.

Lets hope his confidence and performances keep improving 👍

Come on Chelsea. Focus, let’s get a great win here. We’re due at this stadium. 

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALMEEEEEEEEEER

 

Spectacular counter attack

Cold!!!! 3-0

Get in 

PALMERRRRRRRRRRR 

What a counter, Jackson made a great decision and deserved the assist.
