Lejeune is young and in his first season playing in the Premier League and only his second season playing top flight football anywhere. Needs time out of the side now but it is way too early to write him off.

hes 26 :lol:

 

Yes, quite young for a centre back in this league.

 

2 of Chelsea's are younger.

aye, 26-27 is probably average CB age in the prem

Thought Diame actually had a decent half

 

He did compared to some of the others, but I expect he'll be slaughtered as usual. The culprits are the centre backs today.

Why is Clark booked for that when Kante got off scot free 2 mins earlier?

Because Kante's is a challenge to get the ball and Clark's is a challenge to stop Hazard

 

And Hazard went down like he was shot and done a few thousand rolls to make it look even worse.

One of the least bad aye.

 

Ritchie's not a FB but he's been pap.

Lejeune is at the heart of it. Makes everything look so difficult. Every ball over the top lead to a chance for them. Then he ducks out of a header.

Mbemba at fault also for the second.

 

Clark not being a leader.

 

Perez loses the ball all of the time.

 

The rest have been okayish imo.

I'm not being pedantic. He's inexperienced as PL CB.

 

But he is not young.

Not too bad, we gifted them their second, but also made the most of their errors for our own goal.

 

I rate Gayle, so good to see him get a chance to play and score.

 

I don't know what formation we are playing, but I'm happy to see Rafa mix it up.

Its still a yellow card, Clark made the tackle knowing it would be a yellow

Go away score, sit back, fold.

 

That mucking around on the right between Mbemba Manquillo and Murphy was ridiculous. Looked to be doing well only to overplay and leave Manquillo with the decision to cross and get it nowhere for a quick Chelsea break that took all of 11 seconds to create a chance at the other end.

 

They are set up to break quick. We on the other hand haven't a clue.

Aye, it wasn't a blatant yellow.

100% agree with you, just saying the reacting of Hazard wouldn't have helped his case.

I actually think Ritchie had a decent half baring the fuck up tbh :lol:

 

Really? The crosses were flying in from quite deep on that side, you would think he would be one of those detailed to stop them.

Merino's tracking criticised again for the first goal.

 

State of Lejeune and Mbemba throwing themselves to the floor for the second.

 

It was shocking defending from two big centre backs.
