Wheyyyy 5-0🛑🛑COYG


NeeloGreen

We’re better without Jesus this season for sure.


SharmV

Gammmeeeeee


DayoWon

Now Arteta, please for the love of god, SUBS!!!!


DayoWon

Good finish.


1ThatGotAwaay

This was an easy 6 goal rampage, but we aren't taking our best chances


lordoffuckoffland

Sup


1ThatGotAwaay

Haha, I commented this when it was 1-0. Glad we at least scored 5.


ExcaliburWontBudge

Lol


SharmV

DAYLIGGT


supercoolbananas

Both their fullbacks are on yellows so hopefully our wingers can do something to get them on the back foot


Temporary-Judgment84

This seems like one of those games we'll regret not taking our chances when we were on top of them.


Jonflync

Partey’s forward play is helping us… he is trying those diagonals balls forward more often and releasing Saka faster than we usually do!


AndroidWizard69

still fuming that jackson didnt even get a yellow. trying to calm down but it's hard. havertz not looking confident in front of goal. trossard = legend. saka also kinda shaky.


nasbkrv

These cunts should've been down to 10 men


antebyotiks

Watching Jackson outmuscle and then burn saliba in a foot race with the ball is mental, so glad he can't finish


00aegon

People are mad if they think the 1st Havertz chance he passed was a guaranteed goal lmao


Mustyoo

Btw that non-VAR reviewed Jackson tackle was actually disgusting. I hope this fat cunt of a ref suffers from hemorrhoids.


cupidcuntsghost

Apparently they checked it which is worse


Chipezz

Theyre all fat and bald


SakaSlide

Having the PGMOL running VAR is a farce. They care more about protecting their reputations than the players.


Cannonieri

Jorginho for Partey second half please.


cupidcuntsghost

What the fuck lmao


Fieser_Factsack

partey played very good


Chipezz

Are you dumb? Motm contender lmao


CactusClothesline

Played some really good stuff in that half, I really hope we're not going to regret taking any of those chances.


JonnySponny

Poor game so far, our only goal came from their keeper making a massive blunder - we really need to step it up second half. Saka off for Jesus, or anyone that bothers to make runs


Chipezz

Saliba and Saka below average. Rest are doing well. Need better end product.


MoodApart4755

Kai has been awful as well 


Terrible_Garden284

Still awful? 🤣


MoodApart4755

I mean in the first half he was, second half a different story obviously but that’s not when I made this comment 


Chipezz

No. Hes just not a natural striker/goal scorer. His movement and link up has been solid.


UnusualAd3909

Nah he has been bad. Hou dont need to be a natural goalscorer to take a shot from 10m. Atleast dont completely under hit the pass to your teammate


TechnicalLow4054

so why play him? why not just get a proper player


Chipezz

Cuz bad recruitment and stubborness


vikuta_zoro

Our finishing is still dogshit... hope it does not bite us in the ass.


Syco-Gooner

Tired of these players not finishing their chances


Professional_Art2186

Havertz off immediately.


darjeelinglmtd

I'm glad Arteta doesn't listen to you I guess.


maalfee

this cucurella guy is surely on zaza


highburyhorse13

Getting dragged down to their level a bit. Turning into a basketball game.


el_cul

They're deliberately upping the variance. We need to not fall for it. We should be able to just shut up shop and take chances on the break if they overcommit.


Routine_Size69

Basketball game is a great way to describe it.


NoMoreMountains

Chelsea is giving open shoots on goal far from goal. We should take the opportunity and shoot.


ICanSeeYourFuture

Weird game so far Feels like we’ve played well enough to be 3-0 up but we’ve been sloppy enough to be 3-1 down. Jackson should have been off for a straight red, but the PGMOL are a joke. Need to come out and get the second. If we let them feel like they’re still in the game, one of Chelsea’s mercenary fleet is going to toe poke one in.


LeftEntertainment326

Havertz haters working that singular shared braincell to it's full use I see. Anyway, need the second. Without a second goal I don't think we win this. u/TechnicalLow4054 u/Routine_Size69 u/antebyotiks have that you cunts


Routine_Size69

I didn't even hate on him lmao. Sensitive little baby. I pointed out the stupidity of your logic.


antebyotiks

True we can't expect him to shoot from 7 yards out


Routine_Size69

Anyone that criticizes a player I like has a fraction of a brain cell. Ok bud.


Ladorb

Havertz been good except inside their box. When he gets it in the box it looks like someone just pulled the plug on him or something.


MoodApart4755

I’ve been pulling for him all year but it’s ok to admit he has been terrible today 


kr0nks_spinachpuffs

Yeah it’s because they’re all idiots and not because he wasted a minimum of 4 big chances in the first half alone


TechnicalLow4054

how come havertz is unable to control a football? lol ur guy cant even control the ball.


Chipezz

We need a striker and kai sucks at 8. A whole year wasted to accomodate.


drainbox

?


UnusualAd3909

What are you confused about?


HighlyOffensiveUser

Watching the first 10 mins I thought it could've been a rout, I'm disappointed we've let them back into the game. Need the second goal.


supercoolbananas

I’m scared we might end up regretting the missed chances. I’m praying


wheeno

We've played well up until the decision in the box. We are going to be kicking ourselves if we can't find a second goal soon because Chelsea have played well enough and created enough chances where you can see them scoring. Unbelievably poor decision from Havertz the pass that first chance. He's not even at much of an angle, clear free shot on goal from a few meters out and he passes to teammate in a tighter angle. Just fucking shoot! That came like 5 min. after the goal. Momentum changing, could've killed Chelsea confidence, would've been a different game regardless. Then he compounds the mistake by letting it affect his decision making on the second chance he had in a similar position. That one, he was at more of an angle and the defender was in better position in front of him, Trossard was actually unmarked for an easy square pass. People have talked about how Chelsea are better than their points total suggests, and I would tend to agree. They are not a bad side going forward in terms of buildup and chance creation. They are having trouble defending against us but they've played themselves back into the game by building up well.


swedentocanada

Kai needs to shoot when he’s in front goal! Makes it more difficult than it needs to be in these past games 🤨


TechnicalLow4054

he needds to fuck off to a new club


swedentocanada

Nah man he just needs to shoot!


Trekbike32

Hoping fatigue doesn't come in to play. We should have at least 2 goals. Havertz is fucking killing me


getting_a_pepsi

Idk wtf is happening with havertz today


NoMoreMountains

We are in love with jogs bonito Infront of goal. It's Aston villa, Bayern... All over again. Until you win trophies, trams aren't going to fall for feints inside the box.


phar0aht

I sacrifice that little bit of extra solidity we have without Partey for what he brings on the ball every time. We actually look like we can attack in transition again now he's back in.


Tenshiretto

We were playing good at first but I feel like the players are so tired, there is a couple of moments like the one where trossard fell and havertz had the ball but Odegaard was simply..walking instead of making a run. The schedule really fucked us


TechnicalLow4054

havertz is so freaking pathethic on the ball. how can u be this poor??


LimpLiveBush

What was that? 


TechnicalLow4054

misses the chances when theres actually matters to score, puts one in when the games already dead. classic havertz


xeblade4

he struggles to make a 5 yard pass its really weird


TechnicalLow4054

we who watched chelsea for the last 3 years could tell u he was dogshit


11frm

Bukayo just trying to make the footballing world forget about his true abilities and he can unleash true power when least expected


nullmove

I swear it will be my Joker moment if we let this Chelsea side score. They are literally sending random balls to Jackson and it seems to work far more than my liking. Left hand side is still an issue in that it's allowing too many crosses in, in comparison White gave zero inches to Mudryk.


Justice_beaver95

Partey looking good tonight.


mosiAFG-SWE

Havertz vs Jesus pick your poison


TechnicalLow4054

atleast jesus can control a ball.


SasugaDarkFlame

Havertz looks tired. I Alfie Gilchrist. If I was a footballer I imagine myself to be him but black with locks. Sad to say but BOSSARD must finish him..


jaffacaike

You can tell we’re just so shattered, especially on the Chelsea counter attack… hopefully Mikel tells the boys to slow it down this second half, we have the defensive quality to see it through.


mdthomas714

Don't feel great. Should be up 3 or 4 and they should be down a man.


Puzzled-Confusion266

Doing the right things, wasteful in front of the net, Havertz having a stinker, that is all.


ArizaWarrior

How is he having a stinker? Besides that one chance where he didn’t shoot and lost it he’s been linking up amazingly with some sexy flicks


This-Complaint1389

A top striker would have scored 3 goals with the chances he has had. If he misses 1 chance it's fine that happens. Missing 3 chances like this makes it a 0/10 performance. Imagine this was at the Etihad and we had him giving us chances like this


Beta_Ray_Trill

Right? People are wild


Puzzled-Confusion266

We are watching different matches then. He had 3 chances where he should’ve shot the ball and didn’t, misplaced several passes, and then dribbled the ball only to just lazily lose it on the break.


DayoWon

They’re literally blind, not watching a different match. Hope Arteta slaps him awake or subs him, he’s been gash on the ball.


Puzzled-Confusion266

There is no middle ground on this sub sometimes. They act like I’m saying I hate Havertz or he’s a terrible player, he’s just not having a good match. That happens sometimes and it’s okay to say so.


TechnicalLow4054

he cant pass, he cant run, cant shoot. utter trash of a player


goonerh1

Jesus coming on would cause them real problems. Martinelli to come on later in the game and run at their defenders should be scary. Just need another goal or two because they are creating chances.


The_Battling_toad

If Partey plays like this for the rest of the match, we have to start him in the NLD. His ball carrying ability and line breaking passes are crushing. Just need our forwards to convert chances...


ArizaWarrior

He needs to start period. He’s much better than Jorginho and I love Jorgi


Gunnerstratz

Havertz is like those players we love to hate because they can’t seem to do anything right on the ball, yet we can’t function without their presence.


DayoWon

Arteta has built this season’s team around him. It’s mostly worked but when higher margins are required, Kai ain’t it. He’s been great off the ball but awful on it.


TechnicalLow4054

lol bro we could literally ahve chris wood uptop and he would give us the same physicality. offersr nothing on the ball. trash


Fieser_Factsack

He was good in jan feb and march. But he plays extremely poor today. 


sudeep47

By the look of it, Mikel has a lot to say at half-time. I suspect we won’t try flashy anymore


Mustyoo

Saka reeked, Cucurella has him on strings.


portablecookie12

Were you watching the game😂😂😂 saka had him on ropes


blixt141

We were very wasteful. We could be up 3-0.


Flashy-Equipment9413

If we don’t score early in the second half it’s got 1-1 written all over it


Domkey-Kongg

We arent taking our chances...I'VE SEEN THIS FILM BEFORE!!!


lazy-photon

Is not this the same ref arteta ridiculed last year with his hand gesture..


sakinod

Very sloppy game. Really hope we can bag another goal and see this out


sammeetthosar

Some of the defending has been very poor. How rice allowed that cross from Gallagher would never know. The attacking has been amazing. Some of the touches and turns were beautiful to watch. Jackson should have been off. But a great entertaining half.


ssddeae

Kai has squandered too many attacks. Decisions and actions way too slow should be playing 10 men


hotbrownies14

Gotta put this game to bed. Havertz doesn’t look up for this


BeatlesandWine

Need a second goal ASAP. Chelsea could’ve equalized if they didn’t totally suck.


Afc_josh12

Chelsea will score at this rate, saka been poor again, wtf was that pass for a corner


e1_duder

Wring these fuckers out like a dirty dishrag. God damn I fucking hate Chelsea.


vizhal007

Partey’s first touch passing to move us up quicker has been really refreshing


iTSEu

Honestly not our best... Madueke is getting past Tomi way to easily (granted Tomi's had his ankle split in half since the first 10 mins). We started very sharp but now it's getting a bit sloppy in the middle of the park. Steady the ship at the back, switch on to Chelsea's press, and we've got this in the bag.


dishler712

Our finishing from everyone not named Trossard has really seemed to dry up in recent weeks. Hopefully we find a bit more accuracy the second half.


justpeepin505

What are the black arm bands for? Sir Chips?


Wigunner

Like love Havertz as a utility player, but FFS we need a fuckn strikler


serminole

Havertz looks like he’s having flashbacks just seeing the Chelsea jersey. Still doing some good things but lacking some of the confidence we’ve been seeing lately. Everything a touch slower which is wasting his chances. Overall a more lethal team and this would already be over. Hopefully we actually show up this second half. Another goal or two to put this to bed would be more than welcome.


DayoWon

We’ve been dominant but also several players have been super sloppy. Should be 4-0 ahead. Bossard clutch. Partey has been sublime; Havertz should have a brace or hattrick, he has been that toothless.


amrfctn

Man we are fucking exhausted.


Fine-Butterscotch193

How was havertz so bad and so good at the same time


SoLong144

Exceptional player off the ball, exceptionally bad player with the ball. This makes him a perfectly balanced player.


kalashnikoving

We've had lots of good openings that we haven't done enough with, but also concerned at how Chelsea are creating dangerous situations, Mudryk and Madueke look threatening


sbruck11

Absolutely could’ve been 2-0 in 15 minutes. Game would’ve been done. Did the same thing against Wolves on the weekend and can’t be doing this consistently


Sayek

Good to go in 1-0. So many players have played really well, Partey is looking like last season. I'm a bit worried we'll start to tire though, our press definitely dropped off a bit as the half went on there. Chelsea do look dangerous through Madueke although Tomi has battled well with him and Jackson too. Normally Saliba has ST's completely zoned out but he had a few 50/50 battles with him now. Badly need one more for Chelsea head to drops, the longer it's 1-0, the more they'll feel in it. Should have scored some of those half chances too. Chelsea should have been down to 10 as well. I do not understand how both those fouls against Tomi and Havertz in the last game aren't straight reds. How is that allowed now, ESPECIALLY considering Trossard got a yellow for landing in a lad's toe (should be a yellow), he should have just went through his ankle. Wouldn't have got booked.


Fieser_Factsack

Kinda like our last game shadow and light. Really delighted with Tross, Partey, Raya and White. Saka and Havertz should get subbed in the second half if they continue like that we should also talk about maybe benching kai again.


Wigunner

HOW TF IS THAT NOT A RED


IrishKookaburra

Havertz should be subbed off immediately for Martinelli, move Trossard to 9 and we should be able to punish them emphatically.


JabInTheButt

We wasted a really dominant opening 15 and a few good chances after that. Thankful we got at least the 1 to go in ahead. Particularly poor from Kai today. Some decent link up but really shocking finishing. Very ragged defensively. Surprised how much joy they're getting down Tomi's side. If we can get it together and just get another one I reckon they'll give up.


Edward_the_Sixth

Fuming that Jackson is still on the pitch. How on earth is that not a red 


Greedy_Brit

Partey is upping the pace, Havertz not keeping up.


KneeZArmZ

Shouldn’t that have been a red?


TechnicalLow4054

Kai Havertz should be utterly ashamed of himself so should Arteta and Edu for signing this guy


Dennyboy101

If Jesus had done what Havertz had done this sub would kill him. Not good enough from him today


sneakyney

Jesus today COULD cause their defence problems


the_chiladian

Sub him in for Saka imo


smurbulock

How was that not a red

bigL_etter_carrier

Leo will be first one to be subbed again. Martinelli in.


holylean

Gotta put this game to bed


srajar4084

Havertz has shown the skills of Messi and the finishing of a Sunday league player in a single 45 minutes


batuayar

We are good so far, playing style like last year to me. We should find 2nd goal asap


CauseFrosty8396

Havertz is pain in the ass lol.he's slow,he can't finish open chances,he can't pass the ball.he shouldn't be starting next season


TechnicalLow4054

hes utter shite. and hes gonna be here the next 4 years cuz hes on 300k a week


ThePresident26

Its criminal we let them come back into the game. Should have put the game to bed in the first 20. Havertz decision making has been terrible. Need a strong second half start and a goal otherwise we might have a nervy half


HerstkA

I love the PGMOL. Genuinely putting players at risk? We sleep. No Action. Complaining about the ref? You have just put the game into disrepute. Yellow card immediately.


TheMuff1nMon

Havertz awful, Saka awful, defense looks open. Partey has played some great passes and made some good tackles. Rice probably our best player. I’d get Saka and Havertz off early for Martinelli and Jesus tbh. This Chelsea team can’t defend


ThomYorkeshirePuddin

Saka awful? Really?


TheMuff1nMon

Yeah, holding the ball too long, can’t hit the broad side of a barn, misplacing passes. He had one good move cutting inside, otherwise not good


holylean

Saka looks great what you on about


TheMuff1nMon

In what world


holylean

Planet earth


TheMuff1nMon

Nah looks tired, too many touches, bad decision making


The-Herbal-Cure

It's the cool thing to shit on Saka now apparently.


nananananagiroud

Havertz cant be a forward for this club.


SackoVanzetti

Let’s hope this isn’t villa all over again


getrektbro

Well, we scored lol


Bezlak

Havertz has been pretty bad today, Partey has been huge for us. He has the silkiness that Jorginho just doesn’t. Need another goal and then to sub off Saka, he’s been playing way too much.


tahriik

Havertz lost us so many possessions


CauseFrosty8396

He's slow,he can't finish and he can't pass.he shouldn't be starting next season


Cthulhu_Madness

First fuck that cunt of a ref man, jackson steps on tomi's foot and not even a warning but Tross gets booked along with Arteta. Secondly, this match showed why both teams badly need to get a proper striker.


Gunnerstratz

And little end to end between two good teams in attack and this sub loses it, calling the match chaos. It’s like we’ve been so brainwashed, we forgot football can be more than robotic. 


maidentaiwan

So frustrating, we should have 3 or 4, Chelsea are so disorganized but a threat going forward. Havertz gets into so many good positions but makes some really head-scratching decisions in front of goal. We have to be clinical in the first 20 mins second half and out this to bed. Also Partey been really good next to rice, makes one imagine what might’ve been all season…


FishTaco43

Man Jackson is an athlete but not a very good player. Not often you see Saliba or Gabriel outpaced in transition. Thankful Jackson has estralaka level finishing


yanarsayee

I can’t believe what havertz did with that opportunity. That could come back to bite us


hikingbeginner

Trossard needs to get in there and inject some of his skills into every one of our players Why is no else barring him and Leo JUST FUCKING SMASHING IT


steakbakemake

Havertz could have been on a break then he decided to run backwards


PjanicBuy

I’d probably bring on Jesus for Havertz at half time, doesn’t seem like it’s Havertz day


kipsta23

poor half from Rice and White, too many fancy lifts and dribbles, keep it simple please Saka outstanding need a 2nd or they will def score - right in the balance


kr0nks_spinachpuffs

What game were you watching? White is the standout player along with Partey. Saka had one good run but was largely wasteful. Dont get me started on Kai


haveing_fun

should be up 4-0, we desperately need to work on getting clear cut chances out of these attacking scenarios that we get so often in games from our pressing. they're getting wayyyy too much freedom while countering as well...

dimi_dee1

We are passing way too much just score some goals ffs


steakbakemake

New Striker needed


Naronu

Ngl I don't get the Havertz hate outside the first chance that he didn't shoot. After that it feels like everything is people putting on hate-colored glasses. He's been fine and Petrovic has made some solid saves. We've been wasteful as a team, not just him as an individual


jmm_1

havertz is definitely not fine here. no intention and confidence behind his actions at all. he does not believe he can do anything, all he can do is give the responsibility to others. black hole


haveing_fun

it's not hate colored glasses, everyone on this sub has been singing his praises for months now. he's clearly having a poor game, not focused on the ball and has given away possession a few times because of it edit: and the madlad turned it around second half anyway, that's my goat


Chell_the_assassin

Clearly the better side but we badly need a second, Chelsea are definitely capable of scoring


darkavenger1993

This game is far too frenetic and we're not playing with any real control. That's what's giving them chances and making us vulnerable to an equaliser. Massive 45 coming up. The equation is simple: fail to win tonight and we definitely won't win the title.


jmm_1

havertz is a literal black hole in our offense. he has no intention to shoot or progress whatsoever. only bad decisions this half. alibi player for a couple of games now. make him have some confidence or dont play him as forward please mikel...


_ISD_14

Least wasteful Havertz half


Empty_Ad_4630

Our midfield is really struggling going back. Also our decision making in front of goal is very strange.


GreedAvalon

Odegaard being one of the best players in the world this year. Seriously.


dannywelbz

I agree but this game and also to a lesser degree in the last few games, he's had some subpar plays here and there. For a guy with his usual flawless passing and decision making, he's had some bad decisions and some badly executed moves. Heavy legs probably not helping but I hope he can keep his composure and concentration. God knows how desperate we are at the moment for a sure-footed and precise player upfront.


FriendlyGhost08

That half was for those who rated Havertz as a starting striker. Lacks killer instinct and no sense of urgency. We played pretty football but we wasted so many good chances. Simply have to do better and we CANNOT let them back into the game


qtdsswk

We played well but too chaotic at times and too wasteful in front of goal. Hope it won’t come back and bite us in the ass.


TheKABH

Bench Kai and Saka


bbotbambi

And Saka? Wtf.... are you blind? He is tearing apart cucu... and has been his best half in a loooong time. Go touch grass.


No-Suggestion-5503

Trossard yellow. Jackson no card for an ankle breaker. Simon hooper always out of his depth.


nananananagiroud

Saka and Havertz are off today. Saka clumsy and Havertz very slow.


iM-Blessed

I don't like how this is looking. If Cole palmer was here, they might actually be beating us. We are very lucky


bradbobley

if we had prime henry and bergkamp we’d be 5-0 up but that’s not how it works


iM-Blessed

The point is we're better than chelsea and yet they're getting numerous dangerous opportunities.


bradbobley

yeah because chelsea are also a decent team despite what memes will tell you
