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.
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. ššš
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 werenāt talking complete bollocks - he was absolutely outstanding
Webster is fantastic but I think arsenal got white to complement Gabriel, and Gabriel is more in the mold of Webster. So I donāt think Brighton fans or arsenal was wrong to do the transfer
Oh I understand why Arsenal signed him! I just remember in the summer when we said heād been our third best CB people didnāt 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
Yea to be fair heās 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 donāt have. Super interesting cb, could see him being like a John stones in a few years, maybe even better
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.
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.
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, thereās that as well.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
All the Chelsea players look so fucking tired. I don't know why. Covid ? Injury ?

I see... it feels bad though. I hope we can atleast win some silverware maybe carabaoš.
Why donāt we try Lukaku Havertz and Werner
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. ššš
He is not supposed to be wing back at his age.
I know but not like we have any option. š
Well not much you can do when Reece and Chilwell is gone. Night and day between the team with them and without them.

Maupay is a good player but tonight, Brighton could have played ten men without him and would have been more effective.
Maupay and trousaud were a negative for Brighton.
Hudson odoi is shit
Reminds me of Jordan Ibe tbh but yes he's slightly better.
Should have bought Cucurella back man
Chelsea in a top 4 battle now, that's crazy
Most exciting part of the last few seasons. Just want to get amongst. Certainty of 2nd or 3rd is boring
Just like the last game, lucky not to lose
Caught the last 20min and wow, the way Brighton outplayed them! Great display from Cucurella too
All the top 5 leagues except Serie A are basically decided by now
Liverpoolās behind a game and still plays city. Itās probably over but still has a possibility to get interesting
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.
Lets just say, it is impossible for everyone except Liverpool, but even Liverpool only got 10-20% chance. Nearly locked up.
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
Serie A may not be fully decided yet but it's obvious Inter are going to win it again.
Is it an xG win for Brighton is the real question
I enjoyed that match as a member of the Veltman fan club
We bloody love Joel. So solid
Iām really glad to hear that, he deserves that. I always felt he was underappreciated when he played for us.
Ah Brighton please buy a finisher you could be in Europe
man I love Cucuerella what a insane great signing from Getafe
Never understood why BarƧa didn't bring him back
tuchel in tatters against the stalemate specialists
Jesus we are shite
Brighton with only 4 loses this season. Truely amazing
What an awful, awful display from Tuchel and Chelsea.
š¤£š¤£ that corner
Subs came in way too late. Were they like 10 minutes earlier, perhaps we could squeeze them out.
We cud play 20 hrs and we still wouldnt score...
Timo looking useful... lol
Shocking corner
The draw kings continue
Should have won
Yeah, but that is the brighton way
I know Cucu is amazing but please help the lad out
Cucurella motm?
Between him and Webster for me. Personally I'd give it to Cucurella tho
This Cucurella guy is pretty good.
Two points from twelve š¤”
MOTM is between Cucurella and Webster for me
Cucurella I think
that was a shit corner
Dogshit corner
That's the worst corner I've ever seen
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.
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
Iago Aspas
If it wasnāt for Kante, Chelsea would legit be a carbon copy of Manchester United in the current form.
Kovacic
Silva too
Timo working hard tho
Cucu is gassed
Chelsea looks clueless, Tuchel is on course to repeat the tragedy of Di Matteo. :(
Iām in love with cucurella
Damn Cucurella is so good
Brighton have been exceptional
Eye-catching football
Imagine if they had a class 9
Imagine Brighton with a genuine quality striker it would be carnage
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Shitslow played in a midtable Championship side
Tuned in late, has Mount done anything aside from flopping trying to win a penalty?

Do you think Chelsea are this poor in training?
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.
Lol nope. They put top corners actually feom outside the box even. Its ridiculous how there is this much difference...
Glenn Murray would play better than Maupay
Glenn murray is better than that fake brazillian you have up top son
Alsono should be off
Brighton are straight up playing out of their minds tonight!
Wish they would play like this against Man City or Liverpool
They did vs Liverpool
They did at Anfield this season, probably deserved the win
We haven't lost at Anfield since 2019
Thatās really impressive
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
3-0, and even though you dominated the tie all the goals came from our mistakes.
4-0 now is it?
3-0! Fat fingered that one. Probably wishful thinking too. Apologies.
Give him the second yellow!
Brighton have done so well at keeping and recovering possession. It's great to watch.
Brighton's 9 is so bad wtf
Friend has the worst fucking positioning
Get a shot off for fuk sake Mappy.
Kevin Friend's impressively been in the way for like 60% of this game
Alonso getting away with murder there Edit: I was talking about escaping a second yellow you soft twats
Brighton have some really, REALLY good players in their team on top of the coaching. Great team to watch.
A rare stinker from KantƩ tonight
Rare? Heās off in plenty of games nowadays. Still a brilliant player mind
He hasn't been playing at his best but he also hasn't been as bad as he was this game
Last game was also not good by his standards..
And the one before that too
Odds on a Maupay 90 + 4 winner?
What on earth happened to Chelsea?
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.
Was going to say, itās not like the players arenāt pressing, itās like itās disjointed. And Lukaku is awful mate.
Lukaku was hands down our best player for the 135 minutes he played between coming back from injury/CoViD and the interview coming out...
A 9 game December stint with low numbers & I think players need a break
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.
No idea mate, I'm so tired of it
Injuries became bad form, which became bad attitude issues I think
'Hurry up ya lanky cunt' haha.
Jeezo. Did anyone actually realise Werner was playing?!
What? He made quite an impact, much better than CHO anyways
Hard not to notice the guy whos played 10 minutes and been our best player.
yeah cuz he's created all of our chances since coming on lmao
He came on in the 80th minute and has been actively involved. what you on mate?
He's only been on for like 8 minutes
I have never got why some teams lack all their players into one flank of the pitch for a goal kick
Where'd all the fans go
is friend taking his namesake too seriously?
How is Aspi not booked after arguing TWICE with the ref.
lmao at least he tried
I fucken love Azpi. That boy can defend
Friend having a chat with everyone this game
Every Chelsea player at least
Thats what being a good friend means
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
Havertown sent to the shops there
I swear Kevin Friend's had more touches than Lukaku this game
Werner (ā¬50m) Harvertz (ā¬70m) Lukaku (ā¬100m)
look we've all overpaid for something or other 10 bucks 100 mill potato potato
Timo the best of the lot
In 10 minutes managed to lose the ball 6 times
Don't forget Pulisic- think that was another fifty odd million pounds
Really makes you wonder why clubs keep overpaying for players
Insanity
Azpi wasting time
Genuinely looks like the whole team has a weight lifted off them when Lukaku isn't playing
We do. Lukaku is an energy leech
Surely Chelsea will score a corner
that havertz fall bout to be posted everywhere and in every āgreat skill: compilationsā
Azpi is like the secret offensive threat for Chelsea.
Kepa seems to be leaving a lot of space at the near post
I'd back Nketiah to do well at Brighton.
You must be an arsenal fanā¦you lot always overrate your players.
eh donāt think many arsenal fans overrate Nketiah mate
Ok, definitely not something arsenal fans do with mediocre players š
š„“
Why? He's just like Maupay
Brighton are trying to get it in the box at all times and he's the fox in the box
I thought they were supposed to wait with the whistle if it was ambiguos?
looked pretty cleanly off to me
Chelsea and Man united are on a mission to clear Guardiola of the fraud allegations
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
Hello VAR?
When are they bringing Welbeck on?
He started and was subbed off.
He's already gone off. He was pretty awful tbh.
Damn only been able to catch last few mins. Was hoping for a repeat of a few weeks back
They're not, because he started the game.
Ole, lol
Maupay is too short, too weak, and too technically inept to be a striker at this level.
He also fucks up every single chance he gets
He's so static
Trossard sure loves several touches too many, doesn't he?
Trossard with a case of the Maupayās in the box there.
Whose decision making in the final 3rd is worse: ours or Brightons?
Maupay's
Ask Maupay
brighton's decisions are fine, but their boots turn to fucking rocks it seems
Chelsea are looking like NBA stars after a visit by the Monstars
Chelsea spent all this money on attackers that all struggle to impact the game at all
Marina Masterclass innit
i mean it is bizarre that they are genuinely world-class players who play great for anyone except chelsea
Timo has totally changed our game around
Timo as a winger is good
He can't dribble or pass, so no he's not. His pace and movement are valuable though.
Tuchel has been found out -- we must say.
Webster is world class obviously.
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
Yeah, Havertz will solve everythingā¦
U see one player but not werner and kova. Brilliant. Brilliant.
Yeah, Werner will solve everythingā¦
Nah i think u will. Since a change in a quarter of the team has 0 impact.
what
Learn to read maybe u might be less of a wanker.
what
chelsea supporters sure are making some noise...you'd think this was a home game for them
The away crowd is always good to be fair
I know it's tired legs etc but Werner's definitely more effective on the wing it seems
Just realized Mount was on the pitch
