Lack of principles of play or a process. Frank Lampard is poor in man management. He like his mentor Jose Mourinho only loves players who can run. Chelsea are a team full of runners and no one to supply them good balls. It is clear CHO can create, can do combination play, can beat a man, and is extremely good defensively contrary to what these coaches crap about. In fact, Reece james had a howler in first half because he had to deal with the entire right side alone because wait for it — Pulisic does not track back well and is not good defensively.
Enter CHO and not only does he assist again and is a nuisance, but also covers for Reece who is good in second half. I never want to hear this bad training excuse again. Our full backs were injured. They carried a niggle. On Timo — yes, he did great as a second striker or inside forward.
But not as an out and out wide man. He makes unbelievable runs and no one picks him, two he is not a winger. No play makers. Lampard prefers runners. Chelsea should nail top 3 this season and I am not convinced Lampard is the man.
He has an amazing eye for talent and will always be my favorite Chelsea player, but this is different. Roman needs to make a change quickly before Top 4 is out of grasp and players lose confidence.
Aravind, Frustrated Chelsea Fan. Actually they do but it seems like in England, it is fashionable to go with the narrative and not actually watch the game.
So, let me try and make one thing clear for you, particularly for those who will only see highlights. Kane, Son, Ndombele and Regulion were all quite far forward most of the time. Doherty and Hojberg spent a lot of time in opposition half as well.
Winks too was most of the time, just behind the halfway line. The problem was the inability to win the ball in midfield and hold on to it to do something good with it.
Which is why Ndombele was substituted as despite a few sparks, he was not quite dictating the attacking tempo of the game, mostly falling over. Hopefully, he will be able to overcome it soon. Which is why Sissoko came into play. But sadly there was no Lo Celso to inject some energy combined with creativity. Without another goal, it always looked like it was heading for a draw and it eventually happened. C an Arsenal keep playing direct football? Watching Arsenal in the past few weeks has been nothing but an eyesore.
There was an unhealthy obsession with building slowly from the back despite the lack of adequate personnel for that system. This changed completely against Chelsea. For the first time this season, we ditched horizontal passing and focused on vertical passing; every pass was forward, fast and direct.
With no Ozil-esque player, we misplaced a lot of those passes. Until we get at least two pretty good attacking midfielders, I believe Arteta should find a way to make the entire team see the burden of chance creation as theirs like they did against Chelsea Eseosa, Lagos Mendy kept few clean sheets against some unknown teams and they swore he was the second coming of Cech.
Just a point on Bruno. Someone asserted that he seems like a nice bloke off the pitch. Fair enough. Just using the last two games as an example, he did a Kane special on Richarlison which led to the latter going off concussed.

The sheer obviousness of this statement makes it far too easy a target, and means any critic is open to accusations of jealousy. This is a club with about as much grace as Ed Balls on Strictly Come Dancing — and even he had the, erm, balls, to smile and thank everyone for their support when he got voted off. Chelsea are classless; the footballing equivalent of that bloke who won the lottery and spent it on a quad bike track in his garden, a load of prostitutes and enough drugs to kill a horse.
Talking of horses…. Maybe next season we can race. The entire thing was shameful, from innocuous start to litigious finish. I quite like Diego Costa. There was always the debate between Chelsea fans — would we sacrifice some success for more stylish play? The wantaway winger has shone throughout the youth teams at Chelsea, finally breaking into the first team squad this season.
He has managed six goal contributions in his last six starts — three goals and three assists. Pedro, one of his rivals for the right wing spot has just one goal and no assists in his last seven starts. Chelsea are famously hopeless at bringing promising youngsters into the first team. With Hudson-Odoi, they have a player that is a cut above.
