Re: The why is there no Chelsea thread thread
You know its a bad decision when even chris sutton agrees we were robbed there.
Re: The why is there no Chelsea thread thread
Absolutely correct - a great coach could surely see that. The other novice could see after 35 minutes it wasn't working for them and made the key change that turned the game. Pep's cone man was happy for us to drop out of the game completely in the second half. As soon as they equalised it was obvious they'd win.

It takes time to get that fitness like Liverpool have, and we are starting from a position where players like Ozil, Lacazette, Torreira and Guendouzi aren’t fit enough to start with, never mind for this level of pressing.
Get used to us clinging on a bit. Arteta needs to come up with some way to counteract that - leaving Lacazette and Saka on the pitch was ridiculous and certainly in the former case contributed to us not winning.

I would have left laca on the last defenders shoulder and pinged balls over the top of him. The fuckers cant all push up with someone onside behind them. As a manager you have to leave two back just in case.
Fitness wise IDK why Torreira and dozer cant last 90 without struggling. This is their 2nd year, they should be up to speed by now

In torreira's case, he has spent most of the season on the bench, so his fitness on paper was never gonna be up to full pelt - saying that, I thought that he never stopped running all day, and I wouldnt have said his fitness let him or us down at all

Re: The why is there no Chelsea thread thread
I thought Torreira was very good again Augie, but his influence on games does wane considerably as they go on. He’s got a good work ethic but not fit enough.
Re: The why is there no Chelsea thread thread
You can argue that pepe was spineless when he came on too btw
I think that I seen it right, and if so can I give a massive well done to the fans who were abusing other fans for leaving straight after they scored their second There was a minimum of 10 mins left (inc injury time), but these c.unts just fcuked off like they didnt give a fcuk.
Should never get a ticket again imo

Re: The why is there no Chelsea thread thread
Referees should be made to come out and explain decisions. That was a joke. And if VAR is about correcting clear and obvious mistakes, then why isn’t the ref informed in his earpiece to hold the game while they look at the offence? Really infuriating today as we showed a lot of fight, high energy and desire. Just ran out of steam ( and defenders!)
Re: The why is there no Chelsea thread thread
Sliding towards the relegation zone with the wrong man in charge. Pearson will have Watford out of it within a few weeks and it will be interesting to see how West Ham respond to a change of manager (hopefully as well as us with one win in seven)
People will soon see how abysmal this appointment of Arteta will prove to be.......just as Ancelotti waves goodbye to us and starts climbing the table with an Everton squad infinitely less talented

I guess martinelli was sick or injured ?
Shit ref and chambers loss was huge.
Luis defended well today to be fair to him - very focused.
We are a mid table club right now. Tets has made a difference though, you could see that today.
The improvements are there to see, we need to improve a whole lot more and ensure those improvements are for the full 90mins.
Ref was a disgrace didn't do his job and should be made to explain his lack of balance in decisions , especially what should have been a 2nd yelow (red)
Mustafi & Willock Not good enough get shot asap.
Just feel gutted...especially watching that FATFUCK Lumpalard celebrating at the end as if they deserved it, did they fuckk.
Re: The why is there no Chelsea thread thread
My sentiments entirely.although a massive improvement in the 2 games arteras been in charge it's not improvement in performance that matter right now its points on the board! I'd rather be playing dour insipid shit right now under a new manager but winning than this high tempo press that is getting us nowhere even if it is entertaining. I wanted ancelotti when he was available and I stick by that, the results so far show that Ancelotti would have been the better choice at this stage, I know its early days but jesus christ how we could have done with those 6 points hes gotten Everton. I seriously cant see us winning any of the next 4 premier league games either.i said before artetas appointment we would be facing a relegation dog fight by the end of the Christmas period and we are bang on course for it.if we were in chelsea position with a winning mentality and guaranteed a top 4 finish almost certainly then arteta would have been worth a go but our situation was so delicate it was suicide to appoint him and it's no good saying wait for the January window to open as what player any good would want to join a relegation dog fight with a nobody as manager?no one that's who!SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 29, 2019 5:07 pmSliding towards the relegation zone with the wrong man in charge.

There are managers out there who could have done a GG and built a solid unit which could have stabilised the ship. Instead we are still dreaming that Pep's cone man will transform us into the next Barcelona/Man City. With little investment we could buy defenders that would be a massive improvement on what we have now, but we won't. Instead we will be chasing the creative midfielders and wingers to keep up this myth of playing entertaining football
Today just proved it - two awful defensive mistakes, the sort of which finished off the last 3 managers. This bloke isn't doing anything, and won't do anything to sort that out - isn't his background or blueprint as a coach.
We are 100% battling relegation without a single leader in the team, with star players wanting out and a bloke who is experimenting and learning his managerial mistakes as a guinea pig with us. If someone offered me a 17th place finish now I would take it. Instead we'll be obsessing about how a run of form might see us contend for the top four
Re: The why is there no Chelsea thread thread
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this load of melts could get relegated,there is not ONE player in this squad who you would want in the trenches next to you,they are in free fall,SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 29, 2019 5:54 pmThe club and the supporters obsession with the top 4 will end up costing us our top flight status that has actually survived a century.markyp wrote: ↑Sun Dec 29, 2019 5:46 pmMy sentiments entirely.although a massive improvement in the 2 games arteras been in charge it's not improvement in performance that matter right now its points on the board!

Re: The why is there no Chelsea thread thread
Nailed on defeat coming up on New Year’s Day to the Manc scum too I’m afraid. They’ve had an extra days recovery and our already cobbled together defence now has to suffer the addition of Mustafi.
We are fucked.

Re: The why is there no Chelsea thread thread
We need to grow a backbone quickly.
We have been outplayed comprehensively by some of the worst sides in the league this year - Watford, Brighton, Southampton and by Villa and West Ham for long periods. The only game we have won by more than one goal was at West Ham, which was on balance still a pretty shit performance over 90 minutes. The points we have got have been by and large scraped.
If the atmosphere descends quickly then we are not a million miles away from being in the thick of it. If it weren’t for West Ham’s complete implosion against us, we would be 3 points off the relegation zone for fucks sake.

Re: The why is there no Chelsea thread thread
The first goal you can’t legislate for it’s just an apoplectic fuck up by the keeper. However the second showed the complete lack of leadership that’s in the side when nobody kept the team in shake and we were caught pants down with half the team up the pitch.
