The College Dropout

Absolutely awful half of defending there. Needs some time out of the side.

Communication is such a big part of things too and clearly there's problems with this, compounded by very fluid attack play by Chelsea. Unless you know Rafa better than Rafa (TCD). Fluid attacks? Every single ball over the top has him scrambled. Not slick interplay, just decent long passes over his shoulder. Beaten again in the air by Christensen.

He's 26 but the rest is valid.

Lejeune - nice technique with the volley. Shame he can't fucking defend.

foul? Morata push? f***ing weak defending man. Primary fault lies with Ritchhie and Lejeune for me anyway. Think Mbemba is expecting Lejeune to clear it. Although I think one of the reasons Mbemba and Manquillo are starting is because they're meant to be better in the air than the alternatives. Morata scores a lot with his head so get Lejeune, Mbemba and Manquillo to protect the crosses from Moses and Azpilicueta all of that may be true but it's absolutely a foul, he had him marked really well. You aren't going to be able to keep your feet all the time if someone pushes you in the back As a CB it has to be so obvious that you're getting man handled. You HAVE to be stronger. Same thing happened at Huddersfield. Be stronger and if you've been fouled. Make it clear and howl at the ref. He makes it look so routine. Scream if you're being pushed man. Or/and be stronger ffs.

Yet Rafa bought the former? Not absolving Rafa here. Just saying this won't work as long as they're at the back. They can't play his football.

Lejeune and Mbemba are not Rafa defenders man. Piss poor in the air man. Absolutely dog shit

No coincidence we've gone to shit at the back since Lejeune has been back in the side. He needs to be taken out. HE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY AWFUL.

Ritchie's not a wing-back. Lejeune awful. Mbemba awful. FFS.

Manquillo also a bigger lad.

ill repeat it was head height After the bounce. The bounce makes the trajectory of the ball more difficult to read as it's rising.

Best defender at the club apparently

Lejeune makes defending look like such hard work

Perez and Diame are so shit man

The bounce made it a difficult save imo. Not to blame.

Getting done every time with the long balls man.

We are a joke at the back. Anything over Lejeune and it's desperate defending.

Hazard. 1v1

Morata was offside. Shut up.

Was it deliberate? Had we conceded that I would be annoyed.

Best defender at the club Lejeune at it again. Good save

It was a handball like but oh well. Thanks.

Chelsea defenders so weak!
