Chelsea have been pretty rubbish imo considering how bad we've been.

Their pressing is excellent, but on the few occasions we've managed to beat it they've struggled. Would say they are decent in possession, could have been a few goals up by now. Fully expect them to win 3 or 4 nil.

 

Think they've been very impressive tbf, slick passing, high press. Finish their chances and they're 4 up.

 

Agree, it is nice to see teams pressing aggressively, especially if you have to watch us play week in week out.

We've been outplayed but their goal shouldn't have stood. Fernandez was clearly pushed before making contact with the ball, and that made all the difference.

 

Their high press is very good and we're struggling to get the ball up the pitch. When we do get in their final third, we're getting chances so we may just nick something.

 

He wasn’t pushed, he was kicked in the calf. But you’re right.

 

There may have been a kick as well, but Chilwell made a push with his arms. It wasn't a legitimate challenge for the ball. Despite what McManaman thinks, there's no rule which says you're allowed to push if it isn't too hard. And in this case, it caused the goal.

 

I thought this was what VAR was for.
