The Official Chelsea Thread [Vol 3]

All becoming clear why Jackson is so desperate to take the pens

[hemidom]

The frustration is the rest of his game has been good, just waiting for that final piece to click with him.

[smn159]

bks. Not entirely unexpected when we don't take our chances though :/

[carlo996]

Agent Poch keeps on delivering. I like the blue hair, he should prolly work on his finishing though

With a solid striker and maybe one experienced midfielder you’d be quite a dynamic side.

[smn159]

Flashes of really good stuff but piss poor decision making at the sharp end. Oh well

[Daz68]

You had so many chances. City were poor to be honest.

[fourstardan]

Don't take your chances it won't happen. Jackson will improve just remember he is young and only playing his first season.

Goal was on Mudryk he exposes us too much when he comes on in games like today.

I'd rather they put shifts in the next several games now.

[blue al]

The sad part is that we had the chances in the first half to make it a more open game

And rather see Jackson shoot and miss than bottle it with a bad pass.

But we need to address the ball out the back as we are not confident enough on the ball ( or perhaps too confident) always seems to end worse than losing a 50/50 ball at the halfway line

Jackson ain't that type of player though to me.

Lot of difference today with Enzo back, where he likes having caceido and Enzo in the positions they hold and then move forward, Caceido had way more chances than usual today to take on an out the box screamer.

I think today showed more promise and progress than the last game at Wembley.

[TwigtheWonderkid]

At this level, playing Man City, you just can't expect to win if you go in with basically a League 1 striker. Even though we played better than them, they have better players in key positions, and so they make more of fewer chances.

Like Scotland, in the 70s, had a great team of 8 or 9 top players, but they always had to include a couple of absolute duffers, and it always cost them dear.

[trackdemon]

Back to reality....

[968]

3-0 down now, and to rub insult into injury, Havertz scores.

Men v boys. Arsenal streets ahead of Chelsea at the moment. A shambles.

[Carl_VivaEspana]

Hold steady whilst my boys lube you up.

[hemidom]

Knew from the starting xi we had no chance. That back four and zero protection for Cucurella from Mudryk.

The worst bit will be the Arsenal melts telling everyone Havertz is reborn and world class.

[968]

Lol 4-0 now. Havertz again, ironic really, he couldn't score for toffee at Chelsea, now he's banging them in.

I hope Boehly is looking at the players signed by the two teams, Arse signed Trossard and White from Brighton, we signed Cucu and Caicedo. We signed the wrong two players quite clearly. Maybe Boehly thought Declan Rice was Caicedo or something?

I suspect this is not going to end 4-0, optimistically I would say 5-0 but I have a feeling it'll be worse than that.

[968]

5-0. Embarrassing. Another 20+ minutes to go. Another 5 goals still a possibility. Will do Arsenals goal difference a power of good!

[trackdemon]

FFS. Didn't think we'd win, but thought we'd make more of it than this especially after a fairly decent showing 1st half. At least it barely matters in terms of the league anyway

It's a pretty terrible show. They've fallen apart. No fight, no organisation. I think they probably give up after Jackson misses a hatful of chances. I really don't see where this team is going. I see some really poor players bought who we probably couldn't give away right now but Fernandez, Caicedo, Mudryk need to get lost.

If Cole Palmer was playing, you would have won.

Possibly.

Jackson couldn't finish a cheese sandwich, he needs gone before anyone else. The others I think we're stuck with because FFP, these 'clever' contracts not looking quite so smart now: massive financial gamble that hasn't paid off.
