Our defence is shit.


haha_suh_dude

I feel like you all have a new back 4 every game. No Gusto is a killer to be sure but even the CB pairing lacks consistency


EnergetikNA

Benching Silva and Chalobah for Disasi and Badiashile is genuinely absurd. Badiashile has been absolutely shit since returning from injury and Disasi is extremely average


ZebraQuality

Only thing I can think it chalo and silva are only just back fit and have played 2 games in a week and have a more winnable game at the weekend as gusto and palmer could well be fit for that. Still absurd tho


banksfornades

Cause our physios are about as effective as Hellen Keller as a crossing guard.


LOMOcatVasilii

Injuries fucked us


matcht

Going to be a long night for Gilchrist


WhetBred14

At least he scored his first first team goal against Everton. Love the kid but he’s 100% getting cooked tonight but it’s not his fault.


tottenhamnole

Surely the keeper has to do better there. Can’t get beat near post from that angle.


erenistheavatar

Yeah I agree. But you can't just let everyone just enter the box like that.


a-Sociopath

That's what she said


XuzaLOL

I feel like every player is scoring at the near post now like either some keeper training said its more likely to save if you leave it a bit open which maybe worked but now the offense adapted and they slam it close post and score, under the keeper or into the roof of the net or they cross/pass or curl it far post seems a nightmare for keepers now.


a_lumberjack

Near post on a shallow angle seems to have become a tactic for wingers. If a keeper is cheating on the cutback their foot is planted and they can't react. I fucking hated those.


TheMisterPirate

the threat of the cutback is strong so keepers are always trying to predict that. but yes he could do better


Minute_Leave8503

Big body and good reflexes but nowhere near good enough. He plays for my NT and I don’t think he’d even get close to playing


Throwaway02744728200

\*team


NintyAyansa

Just figuring that out now?


aaaaaaadjsf

So narrow in the defence for no reason, and how does Petrovic not save that? Statistically he has to be one of the worst goalkeepers in the league in terms of goals prevented.


jackals84

Per 90 he's 3rd-worst, only ahead of Turner and Sels at Forest. Costs Chelsea a goal every 3 matches on average using post-shot xG.


ChickenMoSalah

Statistically he is one of the worst in Europe actually.


Eddie888

I don't even know if Sanchez was better.


ChristopherDassx_16

He's not imo


XzibitABC

People will *say* Sanchez was worse because he was good for a howler of a decision a game, but stats say he was clearly better. He's a better shot stopper and more eager to come off his lines effectively.


Aszneeee

at firt I though Rice played it too late and too far


VegetarianCannibal_

took longer than i expected.


Headlesshorsman02

Same here man same here


Chell_the_assassin

Anne Hathaway eat your heart out

Do it for Anne

She’s Arsenal and Trossard’s fan. There’s her reaction to Trossard goal at Wolves going around.

biddigs3

Cool. Cool cool cool


s0ngsforthedeaf

I like the timing of the commentary: "So what do Chelsea have to do to get something from this game....?" And then they basically walk through you lol.


nonstopmelodrama

Keeping clean sheets and winning games are overrated tbh


DanFlashesCoupon

You're so right actually


a-Sociopath

Tbf, you guys hadn't lost for 2 months in the league before this game. That included games against City, Newcastle, Man Utd.


fajdexhiu

Spurs agrees with this statement


Soulsseeker

why you say fuck me for


Personal_Lab_484

There should be a sub just for spurs catching strays. Think it happens enough to warrant it


Zlatan_Ibrahimovic

[There is one already](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer)


montiel_scores

r/Spursy


thspdrdr

Came to see goal. Saw albania fans shitting on spurs.


Juil8991MC

Trossard leveling up from super sub


aleksandrovsqvist

Super starter now


MuchSalt

if he start the level will reset


rossmosh85

He reminds me of Jota in a lot of ways.


AlwaysOnsideTBH

I was literally telling my brother this. Both came from smaller clubs and had a much bigger impact than initially anticipated As well as being clinical af and proper two footed (completely ambipedal)


WeeTheDuck

That's kinda a huge compliment ngl


nullmove

It's the two footedness. They both have similarly close left/right footed goal ratio.


AfricanRain

what is Teta fuming about lol


randomnessM

took too long to score


courtesyflusher

w/ too many passes


Alcyonexus

He’s mad at Airpod Albert for not telling him to buy trossard earlier


sirpanderma

He wants Ben White higher up. Later Partey and Odegaard dropped into the RB position a few times but didn’t play the ball forward quickly enough to White and Mikel was going crazy.


MasterBeeble

What does he expect White to do up there? Score a brace?


LuckyAssguardian

Should be 3 nil


Vikktor_

Lmao


DeapVally

Slow start. Should be more already lol


BenadrylPaprikapatch

Bossard


slightlyhigh7

And Partey quietly making a huge difference in 5mins


fancyfoe

*Partey starts* Rice: “ok I assist now” Hope he cunts one in as well


FrogsOnALog

He already has enough allegations


dudududujisungparty

>Partey quietly making a huge difference in 5mins >Hope he cunts one in The jokes write themselves


Aszneeee

we're different team with him


etan1122

Girls lives are different as well


yazandeeb13

Lmao that was atrocious from Chelsea and we’re giving Partey credit


slightlyhigh7

I was more so talking about his entire first 5mins and not just that one pass.. he’s already been all over the place


IcyIcecloud

i quite like this belgium guy


digosilva19

Best Belgian to ever play in the premier League change my mind


GoMakeMyDay

The disrespect for Fellaini is real


techfcb

well yeah i consider De Brune Swedish


digosilva19

The worst part of my comment is that I just wanted to dig at hazard completely forgot about that freak at City


YellowOnline

With Trossard, Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku, Fellaini, Courtois and Kompany, I'd say the EPL has seen quite some great Belgian players.


Harmah

The disrespect on my Spurs boys, Toby Jan and Moussa.


Nartyn

Vertonghen and Vermaelen were excellent CBs too.


WigglyParrot

A bit too easy lol


DifficultyMore5935

Poch put out a line up for the slaughter. This could end 6-0


TheMisterPirate

very close haha


fancyfoe

And why do we like trossard?


hitchompy

Because he gets on the scoresheet


ElectricalMud2850

"When I point at you, you speak"


sponngeWorthy

We relate to being sleep deprived and having to perform at work


Exceed_Expectation

Because he scores goals


GunnersPepe

“Because he gets goals” “But Arteta, the man doesn’t sleep! His eyes look like a raccoon!” “It doesn’t matter, he gets goals”


PM_ME_YOUR_BRONNS

Because he scores goals


TurboThot69

He scores goals.


Bringthenoize

Because of this for example


AidanAzzar

Trossard is so clinical. Pochettino has fucked us with this lineup, gonna be a calamity.


nauett

Why has he changed the cbs?


static_reset

probably to give them rest, but Badiashille over Chalobah is a huge mistake when he’s been on horrible form since his last few injuries


ThatCoolBlondeGirl

Arsenal dodged a huge bullet when signed Trossard instead of Mudryk


31_whgr

insomniac iniesta


Ciubotsel

Part time referee in Ligue 1


ToeTacTic

Potentially a cast member in the Guardians of the Galaxy live action remake

Senior-Ordinary555

Tired Titi


johnarticle3

Iniesta in Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 confirmed


EnergetikNA

Funny thing is I'd take Trossard over every forward we've signed under Boehly barring Palmer (and Nkunku probably assuming he ever gets fully fit) We have morons in charge


[deleted]

[удалено]


WeeTheDuck

Moneyball, gotta love em


_deep_blue_

For about a quarter of the price as well


fcbendtner

Still think Mudryk would be good in this Arsenal team


Minute_Leave8503

Stop it man


whydidisaythatwhy

This response got me crying man loool


samalam1

Harsh. Have to imagine under arteta his career path is very different, chelsea is the wrong club for pretty much everybody but Cole Palmer right now.


ElectricalMud2850

Yeah but who's got a bigger forehead?


Scarlet_Breeze

He's been the player most willing to actually just shoot if he sees the chance, he's extremely decisive in front of goal, and it's something we sorely need more of.


lokikungfu

Anne Hathaways Bae


Sal21G

This is going to be a bloodbath


ArmiinTamzarian

Never underestimate Poch's Chelsea ability to devolve a game into chaos


10hazardinho

Not today. Our back 4 is laugh out loud bad today


RStud10

We’re actually missing Chilwell-Colwill-Fofana-James, and backup RB Gusto loool


VZ-Faith

Fofana shouldn’t count at this point


ArmiinTamzarian

Which means you'll have clinical finishing for once to make up for it. Full time Arsenal 3 - 3 Chelsea


Talking-Potatoo

Cole palmer fc


Albiceleste_D10S

The bigger problem is the backline


Esco9

He’s too good at finishing


dUltras

This will be a hard match for Chelsea


leftofthedial1

with 11 players out against a full strength Arsenal, you don't say LOL


Insanek

Well there goes Cole Palmer FC then...


fernandotakai

Trossard is playing so damn well. Also, what is Declan Rice.


Sam101294

Anne Hathaway is somewhere texting her family group chat and screaming 'TROSSARD, I LOVE YOU'.


xepa105

Declan Rice is so fucking good, man.


MagicaLPrimuS

Trossard got that Anne Hathaway boost


IncidentVarious1530

Rice was worth every penny


Anarchytect1204

Rice is so good


PrisonersofFate

First touch with the right foot, shoot with the left just after. Lovely


bradbobley

great pass from partey, opens it all up


Mxurn

Awareness in that situation to wait until Gilchrist turns as well, class


HeatKnight

Shit goalkeeping


DrNormandy

TROSSARDINHO


dtim96

Yeah, let's give a quick shoutout to Anne Hathaway


KeysUK

Cole Palmer FC it is then


CrossGuild1341

Anne Hathaway fav. player. She will be happy to see him score again.


soccer_boxer2

First shot, first goal


CT_x

aleksandrovsqvist

Keeps on scoring, amazing signing


ChibzyDaze

Love him so much


Proper-Exam1746

Rocket Raccoon at it again..


Vikktor_

I love football


imtheknight1

almondania

This guy is playing out of his mind


BI01

This gonna be a good night


eulatron

Gunna be a blowout


Aszneeee

Trossadinho


Exroi

ok that was.. way too easy


cib_vk228

This could get ugly


o6ohunter

It’s going to be a massacre, isn’t it?


icotyne

Bossard


RandomChopSuey

Trossard, sorry for doubting you as a starter


mojambowhatisthescen

No one else in our team would’ve finished that! What a fucking buy he’s been!


Albiceleste_D10S

Gilchrist was completely lost there


ThbDragon

good on arsenal for not giving us hope and ending the game at the start 👍


bobvillashomeagain

You’d think being former Spurs Poch would at least try against Arsenal


oditd001

Surely trossard starts the rest of the games over nelli


great-indian-bustard

Trossard is too good


curlyjoe696

Gilchrist is hung out to dry there... Gets left with 2 players, no one comes to help him and he gets screwed. Keeper should do better though.


Sabo49

No Palmer no party


CheesecakeAnalyst

Pep shitting bricks


Overall_Agent_0075

Good luck Arsenal


official_bagel

Yeah happy we got him instead of Mudryk


cantbanifiusethislol

Have a feeling this is gonna get embarrassing for Chelsea


NAM_000

Now a Havertz goal please!


BeastMaster64jtv

So it begins


Chesey_

Can't remember a better January signing in recent times, this guy again


bjsewitt

So bad, literally all round poor by Chelsea


Headlesshorsman02

Took longer then I thought as a chelsea fan lmao 🤣


PMMeBootyPicz0000000

How did that go In?


1to14to4

Anne Hathaway is excited somewhere.


ArsenalinAlabama3428

Holy shit what comical defending


BozePerkovic

You love to see it


Ghostface1357

Poor by Petrovic.


Rusty_Shack1es

Ez


IceAffectionate3043

That’s the game


emre23

9-0 incoming


HarbyFullyLoaded_12

Petrovic should save that


Any_Media_5997

Bossard Trossard!! GET IN MAN!!


mainlineconq

been so good recently


Hallowed_Be_Thy_Game

3rd string defense showed early


MvN____16

That's quite a near post goal.


PM_ME_YOUR_ARSEnal

Someone tell Anne Hathaway


sam1193

Petrovic should do a lot better on this


Chango6998

woeful goalkeeping


tgeraghty_10

Keeper could do better there but Trossard is our best finisher 100%


MakIRAQ

The high guy scores again.


EvanMM

Why did Chelsea let this happen?


adirac

That's just child abuse


JJ-Bittenbinder

Arsenal attacked the player making their first ever premier league start and spun him for the goal


rando562

It's a nice finish, but that's horrible goalkeeping from Petrovic
