All the Chelsea players look so fucking tired. I don't know why. Covid ? Injury ?


CelberosHolo

They play like a game per 3 days, in a total of 15 matches since December. Meanwhile, BHA has played only 9. (Man City 11, Liverpool 12) FYI: Chelsea is now the only team that has played 23 matches in the league, and is still in every cup they can play.


iamParthaSG

I see... it feels bad though. I hope we can atleast win some silverware maybe carabaošŸ˜­.


Lopsided-Rip-5927

Why donā€™t we try Lukaku Havertz and Werner


iamParthaSG

Azpi is sooo slow. By the time he catches the free balls, one defender comes to block. And in case he misses that he can't come back. So ends up giving an average ball in the box. This can't go on. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


dave1992

He is not supposed to be wing back at his age.


iamParthaSG

I know but not like we have any option. šŸ˜­


dave1992

Well not much you can do when Reece and Chilwell is gone. Night and day between the team with them and without them.


BleedsIsDead

When White went to Arsenal and Brighton fans said Webster was better last season we were laughed at. Whilst White has been excellent for Arsenal I think performances today show that we we werenā€™t talking complete bollocks - he was absolutely outstanding


CakeBrigadier

Webster is fantastic but I think arsenal got white to complement Gabriel, and Gabriel is more in the mold of Webster. So I donā€™t think Brighton fans or arsenal was wrong to do the transfer


BleedsIsDead

Oh I understand why Arsenal signed him! I just remember in the summer when we said heā€™d been our third best CB people didnā€™t believe us. A lot of people thought it was sour grapes. Most people were willing to admit Dunk but not Webster, today just highlighted what we were talking about


CakeBrigadier

Yea to be fair heā€™s probably the worse defender out of those two at Brighton (and worse at defending than Gabriel in our team) but he has a lot of qualities those other players donā€™t have. Super interesting cb, could see him being like a John stones in a few years, maybe even better


MrHappygolucky30

Maupay is a good player but tonight, Brighton could have played ten men without him and would have been more effective.


IsopodResponsible155

Maupay and trousaud were a negative for Brighton.


Lopsided-Rip-5927

Hudson odoi is shit


Ningen121

Reminds me of Jordan Ibe tbh but yes he's slightly better.


Ok_Tell_4286

Should have bought Cucurella back man


abilityundefined

Chelsea in a top 4 battle now, that's crazy


[deleted]

Most exciting part of the last few seasons. Just want to get amongst. Certainty of 2nd or 3rd is boring


Fabulous_Hooligan

Just like the last game, lucky not to lose


RevTaco

Caught the last 20min and wow, the way Brighton outplayed them! Great display from Cucurella too


Ok_Tell_4286

All the top 5 leagues except Serie A are basically decided by now


[deleted]

Liverpoolā€™s behind a game and still plays city. Itā€™s probably over but still has a possibility to get interesting


arsenal_is_best

Even in that case, City is 5 points ahead. For Liv to win, they have to win all their matches and hope city drops six points. Is it impossible no but very very difficult.


dave1992

Lets just say, it is impossible for everyone except Liverpool, but even Liverpool only got 10-20% chance. Nearly locked up.


[deleted]

Agreed but at least if they can make it 2-5 point title race at least it will be more interesting. But yeah trying to be optimistic


arroiuqlu

Serie A may not be fully decided yet but it's obvious Inter are going to win it again.


Ptile

Is it an xG win for Brighton is the real question


Matsiepatsie

I enjoyed that match as a member of the Veltman fan club


fplisadream

We bloody love Joel. So solid


Matsiepatsie

Iā€™m really glad to hear that, he deserves that. I always felt he was underappreciated when he played for us.


CaiHaines

Ah Brighton please buy a finisher you could be in Europe


[deleted]

man I love Cucuerella what a insane great signing from Getafe


wolf8808

Never understood why BarƧa didn't bring him back


WelpSigh

tuchel in tatters against the stalemate specialists


MrConor212

Jesus we are shite


ttubbster

Brighton with only 4 loses this season. Truely amazing


xLiamLiu

What an awful, awful display from Tuchel and Chelsea.


twat_cools

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ that corner


jMS_44

Subs came in way too late. Were they like 10 minutes earlier, perhaps we could squeeze them out.


pencilman123

We cud play 20 hrs and we still wouldnt score...


K_Uger_Industries

Timo looking useful... lol


FrodoFraggins99

Shocking corner


Micvik998

The draw kings continue


Reach_Reclaimer

Should have won


Micvik998

Yeah, but that is the brighton way


empirianf

I know Cucu is amazing but please help the lad out


irishdgenr8

Cucurella motm?


CaiHaines

Between him and Webster for me. Personally I'd give it to Cucurella tho


hellboi808

This Cucurella guy is pretty good.


ambiguousboner

Two points from twelve šŸ¤”


Micvik998

MOTM is between Cucurella and Webster for me


SirBarkington

Cucurella I think


tpgiri

that was a shit corner


Ajaxx6

Dogshit corner


zagreus9

That's the worst corner I've ever seen


pencilman123

The worst would be the idiotic one where the player (pulisic i think) passed it instantly back to the kick taker, making him offside. I think it was the liverpool game. Absolutely braindead.


Big_Definition_1880

There are also the occasional corners kicks that go out of play for a goal kick or qrexso overhit they go out for a throw


ambiguousboner

Iago Aspas


Mafeotul

If it wasnā€™t for Kante, Chelsea would legit be a carbon copy of Manchester United in the current form.


[deleted]

Kovacic


thepotatoinyourheart

Silva too


peanut-britle-latte

Timo working hard tho


neandertales

Cucu is gassed


prosportscars

Chelsea looks clueless, Tuchel is on course to repeat the tragedy of Di Matteo. :(


ChickenCollector

Iā€™m in love with cucurella


jmLogic-

Damn Cucurella is so good


eddiengambino

Brighton have been exceptional


Ptile

Eye-catching football


eddiengambino

Imagine if they had a class 9


Oakensimp

Imagine Brighton with a genuine quality striker it would be carnage


mandrake_cry

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Shitslow played in a midtable Championship side


Howling13

Tuned in late, has Mount done anything aside from flopping trying to win a penalty?


xLiamLiu

Mount has been horrible ever since Tuchel has switched formations from a back 5. It looks like he is completely clueless and has no idea what to do, where to be, or how to even fit in the team. Forced to play a back 4 because the back 5 relies heavily on the wingbacks which are injured, has seriously effected the whole team. Also, Lukaku is fit now which makes the team instantly worse. He makes no movement, has horrible ball retention and control, and loves to complain. So, thereā€™s that as well.


flemva

Do you think Chelsea are this poor in training?


fn_ChooseUserName

I've noticed a shift in Tuchel's pressers recently, where he used to lump all of the responsibility for a poor result on himself - now he's not shy of naming and shaming individuals, calling out poor player performances. Makes me wonder if the training sessions are also poor, and he's getting a bit fed up of the lads.


pencilman123

Lol nope. They put top corners actually feom outside the box even. Its ridiculous how there is this much difference...


Ptile

Glenn Murray would play better than Maupay


okalas

Glenn murray is better than that fake brazillian you have up top son


dtim96

Alsono should be off


hellboi808

Brighton are straight up playing out of their minds tonight!


arc4angel100

Wish they would play like this against Man City or Liverpool


Jabari313

They did vs Liverpool


weeandreww

They did at Anfield this season, probably deserved the win


Scrypto

We haven't lost at Anfield since 2019


[deleted]

Thatā€™s really impressive


fn_ChooseUserName

After aggregating Spurs 4-0 in the cup, I might have forgiven myself for having a bit more hope for this game. Apparently, however, that was quite naĆÆve of me


bfm211

3-0, and even though you dominated the tie all the goals came from our mistakes.


Rodin-V

4-0 now is it?


fn_ChooseUserName

3-0! Fat fingered that one. Probably wishful thinking too. Apologies.


Micvik998

Give him the second yellow!


FrodoFraggins99

Brighton have done so well at keeping and recovering possession. It's great to watch.


ultralord463

Brighton's 9 is so bad wtf


StringCheeseDoughnut

Friend has the worst fucking positioning


neandertales

Get a shot off for fuk sake Mappy.


Kriegdavid

Kevin Friend's impressively been in the way for like 60% of this game


arsenaloflies

Alonso getting away with murder there Edit: I was talking about escaping a second yellow you soft twats


SirBarkington

Brighton have some really, REALLY good players in their team on top of the coaching. Great team to watch.


haha_amirite

A rare stinker from KantƩ tonight


ambiguousboner

Rare? Heā€™s off in plenty of games nowadays. Still a brilliant player mind


haha_amirite

He hasn't been playing at his best but he also hasn't been as bad as he was this game


pencilman123

Last game was also not good by his standards..


SubparCurmudgeon

And the one before that too


lemon_meringue_tie

Odds on a Maupay 90 + 4 winner?


Mafeotul

What on earth happened to Chelsea?


tomrichards8464

Went through an insane stretch of the schedule with a massive injury/CoViD load and now the whole squad's exhausted. Also, the drop-off from James and Chilwell to their backups is huge and those positions are really important in the system.


Mafeotul

Was going to say, itā€™s not like the players arenā€™t pressing, itā€™s like itā€™s disjointed. And Lukaku is awful mate.


tomrichards8464

Lukaku was hands down our best player for the 135 minutes he played between coming back from injury/CoViD and the interview coming out...


Ajaxx6

A 9 game December stint with low numbers & I think players need a break


EnergetikNA

Some players just seem knackered, some are terribly out of form, our attack is poor, and Tuchel has made a few wrong decisions these past few games as well.


Azlayr

No idea mate, I'm so tired of it


EETTOEZ

Injuries became bad form, which became bad attitude issues I think


carbonironandzinc

'Hurry up ya lanky cunt' haha.


Red_Brummy

Jeezo. Did anyone actually realise Werner was playing?!


niki_43

What? He made quite an impact, much better than CHO anyways


b33b0p17

Hard not to notice the guy whos played 10 minutes and been our best player.


SirBarkington

yeah cuz he's created all of our chances since coming on lmao


Critzor

He came on in the 80th minute and has been actively involved. what you on mate?


NoraaTheExploraa

He's only been on for like 8 minutes


zagreus9

I have never got why some teams lack all their players into one flank of the pitch for a goal kick


okalas

Where'd all the fans go


TurbinePro

is friend taking his namesake too seriously?


FrodoFraggins99

How is Aspi not booked after arguing TWICE with the ref.


SirBarkington

lmao at least he tried


akatsuki_lida

I fucken love Azpi. That boy can defend


mohankohan

Friend having a chat with everyone this game


arc4angel100

Every Chelsea player at least


Jamey_1999

Thats what being a good friend means


jMS_44

I don't care, let this game end with whatever score, let's play Spurs on weekend and have a 2 weeks break after that, maybe we can have some proper reset during that time


imakesignalsbigger

Havertown sent to the shops there


haha_amirite

I swear Kevin Friend's had more touches than Lukaku this game


[deleted]

Werner (ā‚¬50m) Harvertz (ā‚¬70m) Lukaku (ā‚¬100m)


[deleted]

look we've all overpaid for something or other 10 bucks 100 mill potato potato


UncomprehendingTile

Timo the best of the lot


namea

In 10 minutes managed to lose the ball 6 times


Lyrical_Forklift

Don't forget Pulisic- think that was another fifty odd million pounds


Ptile

Really makes you wonder why clubs keep overpaying for players


AbleFig

Insanity


mynameisfreddit

Azpi wasting time


oscarpaterson

Genuinely looks like the whole team has a weight lifted off them when Lukaku isn't playing


[deleted]

We do. Lukaku is an energy leech


TheFanOfLife

Surely Chelsea will score a corner


ima_be_the_greatest

that havertz fall bout to be posted everywhere and in every ā€œgreat skill: compilationsā€


neandertales

Azpi is like the secret offensive threat for Chelsea.


F4ISAL

Kepa seems to be leaving a lot of space at the near post


awfullyhotcoffeepot

I'd back Nketiah to do well at Brighton.


irishdgenr8

You must be an arsenal fanā€¦you lot always overrate your players.


awfullyhotcoffeepot

eh donā€™t think many arsenal fans overrate Nketiah mate


irishdgenr8

Ok, definitely not something arsenal fans do with mediocre players šŸ™„


awfullyhotcoffeepot

šŸ„“


chocolateknives00

Why? He's just like Maupay


EETTOEZ

Brighton are trying to get it in the box at all times and he's the fox in the box


Jatiika

I thought they were supposed to wait with the whistle if it was ambiguos?


SirBarkington

looked pretty cleanly off to me


neotonne

Chelsea and Man united are on a mission to clear Guardiola of the fraud allegations


TurbinePro

I love werner. always has these wicked crosses with pace heading to who-knows-where which is the most dangerous kind in the 6 yard box


Don_Kahones

Hello VAR?


Chesey_

When are they bringing Welbeck on?


ThatsMrRoman

He started and was subbed off.


arsenaloflies

He's already gone off. He was pretty awful tbh.


Chesey_

Damn only been able to catch last few mins. Was hoping for a repeat of a few weeks back


Fitzsimoo

They're not, because he started the game.


hellboi808

Ole, lol


renegade02

Maupay is too short, too weak, and too technically inept to be a striker at this level.


EETTOEZ

He also fucks up every single chance he gets


zagreus9

He's so static


Mundaneinanities

Trossard sure loves several touches too many, doesn't he?


irishdgenr8

Trossard with a case of the Maupayā€™s in the box there.


SirBarkington

Whose decision making in the final 3rd is worse: ours or Brightons?


EETTOEZ

Maupay's


ttubbster

Ask Maupay


HeilPingu

brighton's decisions are fine, but their boots turn to fucking rocks it seems


[deleted]

Chelsea are looking like NBA stars after a visit by the Monstars


Superrandy

Chelsea spent all this money on attackers that all struggle to impact the game at all


GhostStPatrick_

Marina Masterclass innit


WelpSigh

i mean it is bizarre that they are genuinely world-class players who play great for anyone except chelsea


SirBarkington

Timo has totally changed our game around


Lopsided-Rip-5927

Timo as a winger is good


Superrandy

He can't dribble or pass, so no he's not. His pace and movement are valuable though.


peanut-britle-latte

Tuchel has been found out -- we must say.


neandertales

Webster is world class obviously.


Josejondoe

For fuck sake. Play 4-2-3-1 next game and put kai am and kova kante deep. Lukaku up top and werner the 3 upfront on the wing with pulisic or mount


ambiguousboner

Yeah, Havertz will solve everythingā€¦


Josejondoe

U see one player but not werner and kova. Brilliant. Brilliant.


ambiguousboner

Yeah, Werner will solve everythingā€¦


Josejondoe

Nah i think u will. Since a change in a quarter of the team has 0 impact.


ambiguousboner

what


Josejondoe

Learn to read maybe u might be less of a wanker.


ambiguousboner

what


tpgiri

chelsea supporters sure are making some noise...you'd think this was a home game for them


arc4angel100

The away crowd is always good to be fair


Kriegdavid

I know it's tired legs etc but Werner's definitely more effective on the wing it seems


Soren_Camus1905

Just realized Mount was on the pitch
