Started off walking around the bars trying to decide which bar to watch it in , found a bar and went to order a beer , 1-0 , decided that was my unlucky bar and went to another bar , went to get a beer 2-0 , thought that that werent my lucky bar either and sought another bar , stood outside , 3-0 , moved on to another bar , just as the fourth went in..........and decided to go home

For the sake of people who know me i am glad i am at home and not at the game. i would have gone on to the pitch and smashed Dave straight in the face..that is how you hit someone you soft <deleted>...same goes for Rudiger. Jorghinio pedro alonso and Barkley would not even be on the pitch if i had my way....i would sub Luiz for his arm throwing in the air but that would not be fair on Christensen.

Still got 200/1 for the draw and 1000/1 for the win

[ChipButty]

Just need him to stay employed for another week. Please.

After the third goal went in, it was off to bed. If they don't care, neither do I.

Fair play Keith....I thought you'd be taking the day off sick after that performance. 

[jellydog]

Chelsea looked like a side in dire need of an injection of youth and pace last night. Is there enough patience in management for a re-build ?

Calm down dear!

[keithsimmonds]

Dave for one gave Sterling far too much space to work in,unlike the 2nd half of the game at the bridge...he has got to close the gap or not play at Rb. Alonso is shit,had one good season and that was that,5 year contract what blind twatt gave him that. Tactically you have to man mark people no matter who the opposition is there is a man for everyone....its not rocket science.

This is not Italy (thank thuck) there is no place for Jorhinio or any type of Pirlo in this league.....a deep lying play maker.....dont make me laugh.

In Barkley we got what Everton had a player who on his day could be very good,but when those days only come 3/4 times a season,then that aint good enough,well not for us it aint.

Pedro au de toilet...youv,e had your day .....just go and take the sulky teddy bear that is Willian with you. Best sight i have seen in years was Terry(barely able to stand)barking instructions at his defence while standing on the touchline next to Di Matteo as we turned Napoli over on the way to Cl sucess. Sarri arms in the air then thuckks off to the dug-out to write down "must buy more fags"????

Chelsea fan 'throws season ticket on to the Etihad pitch after confronting Antonio Rudiger' as defender apologised to supporters following 6-0 defeat by Manchester City

Incident came after defender Antonio Rudiger apologised to supporters

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6689423/Chelsea-fan-throws-membership-card-pitch-Antonio-Rudiger-apologises-supporters.html

[ChipButty]

Team of the Week do you agree? 

[oldgit]

Even though we went on a 13 game unbeaten run at the start of the season, I think we were all aware that Sarri's brand of football would not suit some of the players in the squad, especially the older ones, who had been drilled by Mourinho and Conte into a counter attacking outfit. No pace and acceleration needed there, but resilience and dogged defending with Kante the automaton, scurrying around in midfield protecting the defence, and Hazard and company breaking fast on the counter.

Now, players like Alonso, Luiz and Azpilicueta are expected to be proactive in this system but they're just too old and too slow in mind and pace to be effective. Especially when we lose the ball with Kante too far up the pitch to cover the cracks. That's three quarters of our back four that aren't dynamic enough and vulnerable to pace. No wonder then, that we're leaking goals and Rudiger and Kepa look shellshocked. Add to that Jorginho the snail in front of the back four, and the disaster that was waiting to happen, happened yesterday. What annoyed me more than anything was the way the team capitulated so quickly. I showed more energy ranting and raving in front of the TV than they did on the pitch. Sarri should take the majority of the blame by steadfastly refusing to see the obvious, and putting out a team woefully short of pace and class to combat City. If it was me, three quarters of that team would be out the door come summer. 

[keithsimmonds]

Sarri has got to take the blame for that performance and that team he sent out. He clearly blammed Emerson for the Bounemouth defeat hence dropping him against Hudders and yesterday....but keeps that half wit jorhinio in the team,who adds absolutely nothing. I never really give any flak to Luiz cos imo he has been the only one you could rely on to be confident enough (whether misplaced or not) to bring the ball out of defence or pass the ball upfield without giving someone a hospital pass. But yesterday within 5 minutes he had given up,disgraceful attitude.

This was not a one off there has been a lot of shocking performances but just like that other stubborn Italian git ...Sarri just does not change.

There will be no more than 4 changes for the game against Malmo....Christensen will start along with Giroud and Willian,a place on the bench will be found for Cho and maybe Zappacosta.

I will take my medicine (4or 5 lge anythings) and get up at stupid o,clock to watch the next encounter.

Put a fork in me i,m done.

Complete and utter embarrassment to English football. Chelsea would not be top 6 of the women's premiership. Roll out the red carpet to wolves to take the 6th position and hang your heads in shame.

He's here again trying his windup.

 

City had one of our best performances for a while but crucially we had one of those unusual games for us where we put almost all of our early chances away (4 out of the first 5 - usually  we're  very wasteful) - heads naturally drop in such a situation. Now chelsea are seen as crap. In December Chelsea beat us and were seen as crap.

City had a game like last night's 2 years back away at leicester where they surprised us with a few early goals before we'd woke up. City were crap 12 days ago at Newcastle but now we're the medias darlings. Loses like Chelsea's happen R2D2, they'll get over it and bounce back you drama queen!

 

Hopefully chelsea won't panic and implode at management level and will give ManU a spanking in the FA Cup.

Yh id tend to agree but the fact is they shipped 10 goals in 2 recent games so their basically fodder. Embarrassment total utter embarrassment.

Chelsea took three points from Man city earlier in the season, has Chelsea taken six points from Man city , they could have been held responsible for Liverpool winning the League , so Chelsea let Man city have the three points and one extra point on the form of six goals , which is worth a point itself, if the title goes to goal different . 

  Up the Blues , both shades

Their defense is woeful, as is their away form 12 goals and 3 defeats in the last 3 away.

That result was nothing to shout about, it just showed you're about thirty years behind the likes of Rotherham and QPHa!

The team looked edgy but focussed last night against Malmo. I got the impression that the players were desperate to put that last debacle behind them and get down to the job in hand. However, the central defence still looked to open to the counter due to the lack of cover in front of it. I can see no other option than employing Kante more centrally with Kovacic as the player to set up the attacks. Jorghino still looks a liability.

OK, the opposition wasn't great but, to win away from home against anybody, is a step in the right direction at the moment.

Thought Emerson showed why he should be the no1 choice,always looked to go forward first and always ready to overlap. Kovacic at times is a class act on the ball and is probably to clever for the players that are around him.

Pedro again offered very little,only the cross for Barkley,s goal was his entire contribution imo.

 Barkley does not have a football brain imo, some say (or most) that Luiz is always an accident waiting to happen...with Barkley that wait aint long.

Jorhinio ....never really known any other player who has played in his position,for any club, who could not tackle....he is an embarassment. The attempt of a tackle on Kdb against Citeh that led to there opening goal should have got jorhinio a straight Red for badly trying to impersonate someone who knows what they are doing. 

Just what the thucck is Sarri constantly writing down....it cannot be football related as i see nothing absolutely nothing that changes in his formation or team selection or style of play from one week to the next.

[keithsimmonds]

One other thing....Hazard has made his mind up about his future but is not telling anyone yet. I dont have him down as being arrogant or conceited and unless an unwritten deal has been done....i dont see him going anywhere,could be wrong,hope i,m not.
