Poor but we've excelled at passing it to Sanchez

It's so hard to be a Chelsea fan at the moment, the club isn't ours anymore, it's been stolen.

Got a bunch of absolutely clueless owners employing even worse sporting directors. Who in turn are employing any manager that follows their dog sh*t footballing philosophy without question.

Those pricks Winstanley are the absolute enemy, absolute despise them. Cancerous to this club.

Rosenior needs to cut out the passing out from the back immediately

Blueco need to be held accountable for what we have become. Needs to turn nasty towards them if we want out of this nightmare

Getting a bit like the Oystons at Blackpool. Don't think they're going anywhere for some time ☹️

Sorry WhiteWall can't get rid of the quote box.. f**king pooters lol.

we will do well not to get thumped here, they are in total control, and barring the odd counter we look toothless and without any structure.

Rosenior has fallen into the simple trap of believing his own press too soon. He should have come in, kept the structure, played a simple game here, have something to fight for in the return. But he has gone for a weaker version of the original Maresca ball, with our entire back line now sh*tting themselves every time the ball is near them

Booing already lol

This playing out from the back has to stop

The Yes man wont last long if we keep trying to play this “lets pass it around and draw the opponents on to us”, IT DIDNT WORK LAST SEASON, this is the PL not the slow French league, Chalobah is one of the worst passers we have its a disaster waiting to happen

Well Arsenal haven’t got out of first gear yet so we are still in with a slim chance of getting something from the game. Steveo best player by a mile but he’s going to need to watch his yapping or he’ll see a red. And this pissing around at the back has to stop.

Maresca Outers actually thought it would make a difference, this is complete sh*te!

Yes, the same sh*t continues. Why don't we get a proper manager. Spending hundreds of millions in players and having amateurs coaching them. I just don't understand.

I think a lot of refs are still against us even though we are not owned by the Russian.

Come on chaps or LR let's make changes or improve the play.

Nah! Creates a really bad vibe for the players. Demonstrate before the Brentford game.

Nah. I've heard the players WANT us to do it in game ! 😂

Can I just clarify this isn't another Bonnie Blue gang bang record attempt?

As soon as Sanchez is asked to do something he’s poor at he struggles who would of thought.

Apart from Forfana I don’t think we have one player to confidently play out from the back

Okay half considering who we have missing. Sloppy for the goal, and then we havent been great play out from the back which is what has lead to arsenals other openings. Hard to critisize that with the managr only just through door, but you really need some elite level passers at centre back and goalkeeper to play like that.

Other than that i thought we have done prerty well, Enzo has dictated, and played some great passes, espcially out to josh and estavao, who both look lively on the right.

Neto very poor again, and Guiu not offering much threat.

We can definately get something here.

I will be surprised if he finishes the game tbh. He is very young when it comes to attitude, bit like the Man Utd lad that got himself sent off. If Rosenior is paying attention he may need to bring him off at some point to spare the possibility of him getting sent off.

To be fair, I doubt any manager could get much more out of this group.

Beating Arsenal if we had everyone available would have been a tough task, pulling it off without James, Palmer, Caicedo, Gusto, Gittens and Delap is near impossible.

It'll take something extraordinary to make it happen.

They're all a bunch of vultures. They smelt an opportunity when the government stole the club and everybody involved is using it as a platform to boost themselves. No f**ks given to this club or the fans at all.

We're still just about in it but at times it's been men against boys. The corner was a joke - Sanchez and Pedro both piss-poor.

And what is all this trying to play out from the back? It's horrendous to watch - we are rubbish at it.

Just hope Estevao keeps his cool and doesn't pick up another yellow. Just play for pride second half and stop f**king about at the back.

COME ON THE CHELS!!!

can't stand the way LeArse play. faking dirty toughs. hope City stops them

Source?

"Not a project CFC" have organised a protest before the Brentford game. Can't see the players wanting anti club protests during the game.

Rosenior will be here til the end of the season at least. Abrahmovic went thru a few gaffers in his time but at least we had success. If this lot start doing it we'll just tumble cos they have no idea about "soccer"

I don’t understand how arsenals goal stood. Surely their player was interfering with play wrestling with the last defender..

Probably. We've just spent 45 minutes fumbling around in the wrong box.

HT sub, I'd probably take off Guiu, move Joao Pedro up top, and bring on Buonanotte at #10

Don't think this is the game for Mheuka ...

Expect we'll see Stevie subbed off for Garnacho though :-)
