My only critique is some games Cole needs to be subbed off, clearly the last two games around the 75min mark he has been off the boil due to having to constantly loose his marker as he is man marked. Fresh creative legs could only help us and give the opposition something else to think about.
Couldn’t agree more. I was so frustrated at the 75th min thinkin why isn’t Felix and Nkunku replacing Jackson and Palmer. It was evident they were tired. Maresca needs to be able to see when to make the right changes earlier. On top of that Palmer just about made the game, it’s a bit of a slap to the face to Felix and Nkunku considering they both scored 2 in the week as well
I agree. I don’t think he was fully fit today. First half was decent, but he faded in the second. We could have given nkunku a good 25 minutes to impact the game.
Our wingers need to be Sancho and neto. Perfect balance with the bonus that they can switch flanks if they want and be equally comfortable. Noni started the season well but has dipped off.
Clearly doesn't rate him and like him for some bizarre reason,he'll clearly be leaving in January or end of the season and don't be surprised if it's to a rival club as these owners don't care as long as they get there money.
Yeah, tha owner/manager are takin tha piss with Nkuku.. Am sure there lookin 2sell him cause there been a fall out.. Ever since he had a fall out with Poche, he stopped startin him in games..
We were grabhing points against big teams last season 2 points against city 6 points against tottneham 1 point against liverpool 1 point against arsenal 3 points against man u
thats all valid points but noni was again selfish and doesnt contribute much than one cross? and played 70 mins while felix nkuku mudryk coudlve been playing more…also palmer needs to be held accountable if he doesnt perform play nkuku
When is João Félix going to play? Only when Cole Palmer is out of the match day squad? Then why did we sign him in the first place? Some days Cole Palmer doesn't have his best games but still doesn't get subbed off and that's really annoying Nini 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Another thing about the goal conceded is Noni seeing the right flank exposed yet didn't give it all to close the gap. He's probably the most athletic player in the team and I expect more commitment from him. And we need to stop disrespecting Nkunku.
WE were very lucky to get a point in the game .What i saw was 2 Arsenal players arriving at the back post & our defence never saw them ,i feel we are 3rd on luck the big boys are having a nightmare start dropping points left right & centre..if our defence dont start keeping a CLEAN sheet i can see us struggling to get this Champions League spot..which is a must...COYB
Great result!!!! with these fixtures we had , if someone said we would be third before the international break... We would all be over the moon!!!! Take the point and we move... 💙💙💙
This is a great result and there are many things to be pleased about. If this was Pochettino’s side we would’ve lost. We showed that we were just as good (if not better) than a title challenger. This is progress. Special mentions to Neto, Cucurella, Caicedo and I think Fofana too 💙
Nini, 😅😅😅!!! This is why I often listen to you. Your reasoning, wise analysis, & deep thinking separate you from most of Chelsea's fans' podcasts out there. I'm satisfied with this result.
I have watched our last two, three games and I have noticed that with the position of Gusto it limits Cole Palmer as I think Palmer is effective playing from the right. Also Madueke is offering us nothing from the right
@@Justin0676exactly, I noticed that as well in his game. Gusto is poor going forward. I still think Chelsea needs a player like Osimeh who is very good in the air.
Maresca and the team needs to stop respecting Top teams and go for the win. We already found the best way to play Cucu inverting so i don't know why Gusto is still inverting. We need to start subbing Palmer off or starting him off the bench to disrupt teams whose game plan is to mark off Palmer
@vasterorttv8579 Since you have a brain, who was marking Martinelli when Gusto was inverting? Interestingly Martinelli scored so who was more dangerous? Bozo
Palmer need move to RW when we play these bigger team and can’t control the middle of the park and add a next CM in the lineup. It doesn’t make sense having the freedom to roam and you not controlling the midfield.
I enjoyed the draw we still top 3 ,let's enjoy that instead of criticizing.Jackson needs to do more him n Noni.Mudryk needs to start games now him n Neto they are very explosive if we know how to utilize their qualities + their crosses are quite surprising n sweet to watch 🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙
I think Chelsea need a defensive coach to help Maresca out. The problem is not just an individual player issue it's collective. It seems Maresca is focus more on offensive play. He needs a defensive coach to help him
A defensive coach is a MUST..no clean sheet again, We were lucky against Arsenal 2 of their players we arriving at the back post and none of our defenders were aware.?? We are 3rd in the league not on merit but because the other big boys have been dropping points left right & centre....watch this space.???
2nd Premiership encounter in a row where we go behind and are rescued by a goal out of the blue. Cucurella my MoM, with Caicedo a close second. Both showing such passion and commitment. Neto, an inspiration. A special mention, too, to Fofana, showing initiative in coming upfield. Downside, sadly again Jackson not able to make an impact. Why is it that when other teams' forwards (Arsenal today, Man U last week) get into our penalty area, they look so much more lively? Disappointingly Colwill, more than a couple of times, passing out of defence straight to an oncoming opponent. Is he really all he's cracked up to be? Sanchez is what he is - a good mid-table goalkeeper. We need better. And once again Mudryk, as far as I'm concerned a waste of space. Sure, he can score against a team of part-timers from Armenia, against top Premiership material? No way. And above all that, the lateral passing, allowing the opposition to mass in front of their goal, from which situation we rarely profit. One other thing, we shouldn't place so much pressure on Palmer. He's a young and extraordinarily gifted player, but we shouldn't play him into the ground. Not good for the lad. But you're right; we're a young team, with all to play for in the coming seasons.
Mudryk needs to be loaned out and Chelsea really need to go all out for oshimen in January although Nico had been improving every season, he's not going to be guaranteeing us top 4
Just relax, wining against Southampton will be worth the same point. I don’t care so far is they are not getting above us. If we are told we will be 3rd in Nov, all of you won’t believe
Agree, and my only beef with the stellar Maresca is that offensive subs need to come on no later than the 60 min. mark, otherwise it's pointless. Work on build-up play must continue.
I think maressca's arrogance won't allow him to drop Sanchez. He said he's his guy at the start and he's going to back him just to prove his choice in making him number one. Sanchez has cost us 4 points in the past 2 games. I also hate how timid we are at times. I really want us to grab the game by the neck and really take charge. Show how elite we are.
It's all on clownlake and the sporting directors . This is the model they want and this is what they have got. We need experience in one or two positions that's it a GK a CB and a no9 who are all experienced and then build the team round them Maresca is being told to play Sanchez to get a better sale value
Bro ill Take the Point, Cause we could Have won the Game, but we Could have also Won this Game First Half. Cucu is Definitely living up to the 62mil Paid for him.. Kinda Glad The Club Never Gave up on Him..
Agree with this. Arsenal were basically back to full strength as well. Maresca is a top coach compared to Poch. We need some actual competition for Jackson though.
Younes made a good point . Yes we are 3rd but there is only 3 points between 3rd and 11th so when and it is when we throw away top 4 its all on clownlake and the sporting directors
Takeaways -First time we’ve physically matched a top physical side, need to keep this up -Cucurella, caicedo, fofana and Neto were fantastic -we need to give lavia and James time, they’ve only just come back from a year out and have come jnto a really tough run of games, give them time and they’ll get better -Sanchez has to go, awful on crosses, compare him and Raya (and Raya is about 6 inches shorter) and he always has a mistake in him -serious questions as to why Felix and nkunku are even here? If they can’t come on at all against United and Arsenal then there’s serious issues We have a good run of games now, need to go on a run and build a gap between us and the teams below at the halfway point
The difference between us and Arsenal is experience, when Havertz went off, Timber with the deliberate foul throw, then looked over at Havertz and dragging the throw on even longer... we don't have this game management yet.
My general criticism is just our speed and back passes our wingers should try an take on players and not back pass. I so think palmer should free float from left to right dropping down to assist the attack.
This team will take time to grow....last year, we would have lost the match or lead early and get pegged back for draw. We must be patient, we spent big, but that doesn't mean the success will be immediate...let's be patient
Your comment straight away saying we secured a good point against arsenal is the same mentality our manger and players have in these big games,they play within themselves and are scared to lose and are all happy to get a draw and take a point in these big games.
These top teams if we need to get points is by not fearing them and lastly trying to understand Chelsea is a big team as well,we have trophies in our cabins though they haven't won anything but the history of the club says it all.🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙
Funny feeling coming away from this game. Disappointed we didn't go for it after equalizing, but pleased with the spirit and grit to get a point after going behind. Best believe last season if we go behind to Arsenal we ain't coming away with a draw. This team is progressing but there's still a feeling of 'we can apply ourselves more'. We look way more organized as a unit but we're missing that X factor against the bigger teams. Regardless, we sit 3rd coming away from a tricky run of fixtures...nothing to be frowned upon. Up the Chels 💙
We are not creative in front of goal, we look like previous years where we have no plan in the final 3rd. I don't think that a Victor Oshiem would have made a different if we can't get the ball to our play makers in proper position or combine. Maybe Im being harsh but it's frustrating.
The midfield isn't creative enough. This board decided to spend 100M on a midfielder in Enzo Fernandez who creates F all. No striker would thrive in a team that mostly just passes to the players right next to them. And when the team is out of ideas, they just start kicking it into the box to absolutely no one.
We had opportunities to cross the ball early, Jackson was in position but Neto decided to pull it back and let the defense get settled. Play faster Chelsea, be brave.
@@farawaytundra008 bro you don’t watch the games. Enzo got an assist and we look so much better with him. I can’t believe I’m even wasting my time replying to you but good luck
@@kennyo0079 Well good luck to you then. You probably sucked off Ziyech when he was here and told people the same crap when other fans said he was rubbish. You're seriously claiming an "assist" on that goal from Neto bro have shame.
8:02 I disagree with this point because so many times things have not gone our way and we find a way back either from conceding first or even like today getting a draw against a team that put 5 past us last season.
I think you just being stubborn and not accepting the reality that Osimeh will never accept a wage cut and Clearlake will not brake the wage structure for him.
6 Observations • Neto needs to start at RW. • Well done Cucurella for the MOTM. Held his own vs Saka. • Maresca still can't claim a big scalp • Sanchez was ok but seems allergic to clean sheets. At this rate we're going to have to outscore teams. • Although it's a talented young squad it lacks steel & maturity - the former can be bought (buy more experienced players) the latter will come with time. • Jackson was tireless today but we need a striker that occupies world class center backs + an aerial threat up front (#9🇳🇬) I'll take 3rd going into the international break.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@thatbwoysammyj thank God for that but only 3 points btwin 3rd and 11th place. It can flip with one loss and a draw and we will be in 11th position. Defensively this coach is tactically poor with blind defenders and a horrible goal keeper
@@chukspeterokonji305 how is the coach blind. Bro you played Arsenal not Leicester. The players know this performance wasn't good enough. They would improve
@thatbwoysammyj arsenal, man u were for the taking and we gave let them off the hook. And how will they improve. Defenders that allow attackers behind them when d opposing team is attacking. Men am not a player but I know this. It just takes 2 seconds 4u to know what's behind uband in Ur front when defending. Don't just be ball watching. Why should the coach and the defenders not know this. They have been playing football since they were kids. They ought 2b used to this type of scenario. Most goals we concede are either caused by our defenders or the goal keeper who at times become so generous to pass the ball to the opponent
Enzo Maresca is bias. His selection is not based on performance but favoritism. 1. Cole Palmer has not offered much against Liverpool, Manchester united and now Arsenal, yet he gets 90 minutes. 2. Jackson is easily silenced,yet Nkunku is not getting a fair chance 3.Clearly Madueke is only better coming off the bench, however he gets more minutes even though Neto is the best RW we have. 4. Malo Gusto is only fit to be Reece James's backup. But he always find ways to get him ahead of James or Cucurela. Enzo Fernandez was dropped to the bench for Lavia and that worked well because he pulled up his socks. Now WHY Palmer,Noni and Jackson have guaranteed game time no matter how they perform. I'm not happy with this.
Exactly and fans we're on poch back last season,but meresca gets free pass when he's played players out of his position aswell this season and keeps rewarding players like noni for poor performances but freezes out and doesn't use Felix or nkunku in pl,also Jackson been poor last 2 games but will start again like noni
Well Just a note for you, Going to Vietnam and try some delicious food such as - Bun Thit Nuong, Bun Dau Mam Tom, Banh Cuon, Mi Quang - Barbecue Chicken (Chicken in Vietnam is smaller than other country), Gỏi Gà (Gà is chicken and chicken is Tottenham :))) ) - Bun Cha Ha Noi I think you should do a Food tour Video in Vietnam, I believe Chelsea's Fan in Vietnam will like it.
Extremely happy with this result. This are the "title contender" Arsenal that's been 6 years in the works after all. Sanchez is ONLY thing that I have a sore spot for. He has the potential to cost us top 4. Maresca needs to talk to him - We don't always have to play out from the back and attract pressure. Do we need another striker? I don't think so, I trust in Jackson. I'd rather see the team utilize him more instead of going for an Osimhen.
Things i learnt 1.inverting gusto won't help 2.petrovic needs to be recalled 3.need a good centerback ,colwill is a liability (makes huge mistakes every game) 4.Palmer new role isn't working(should have been subtituted) 5.Nkunku should be subtituted early 6Maresca is stubborn ,not making good subtitution early(against big teams he isn't that guy) 7Need to work on setpieces
Would like to see our wingers take on their man more, instead of inexplicably stopping, passing backwards and frustratingly the attack comes to nothing. Whenever they try to get in behind, chances are created. For example Neto's cross and Gusto's missed chance happened because Neto took on the defender.
This coach mess up at times, we needed more creativity in the final third yet he didn't put anyone, we needed Felix in this game which would have made a huge difference in match. The game was calling for Felix's flair and creativity.
The worst mistake Chelsea would ever make is to let Nkuku leave. Its a shame that Nkuku is sitting on the Bench while Madueke is playing, I understand they are different profiles of players. Nkuku is a great player; this guy has played in the highest stage of football, he scored a hat trick in Champions league against City. This will be a terrible mistake to allow him gonto Man U
Would've been offside at the end though. Lavia stifles the team's attack, Palmer should be moved to the wing to replace noni and Nkunku play through the middle
Cucurella was amazing I thought. Neto best on the right. We’re just not ready to win against the bigger teams yet. Caution born of inexperience hobbled is a bit. Progress is incremental, and that’s ok with me..
Our players always kick the cornerskicks balls within the goalkeeper's reach that is why we have not been scoring from cornerkicks. The two cornerkicks goals against Noah FC came because the balls were away from the goalkeeper's reach.
Bro you were just fine but many goal keepers have swallowed many goals on that angle we just have to improve on our positioning in our defence line,we played better than last time period
Palmer should’ve been rested, Nkuku/joao should’ve started instead imo. Sanchez hasn’t been the best but a near post shot from that close is kinda harsh to blame him on it
Safety first football 🤦🏻♂️ we had a chance to swing the ball in the box on the 94th min with a free kick to win it… instead we play safe because we didn’t want to be countered! Ironically we almost conceded with the last kick of the game!!! Also, with all this safety first football we will happily play suicide football out the back playing crazy passes 🤦🏻♂️ it’s unbelievable!!!
It was really odd that Chelsea kept doing aerial crosses against probably the best two aerial CBs in the league plus White and Raya who is proactive at coming for crosses. Sure, some crosses gave half chances but most were dealt with easily
It was a good game a lot of back and forth, but Sanchez has to do better. We could’ve left with a win. Would’ve been nice to embarrass havertz for that shameless celebration
We got embarrassed at their home ,the problem is not winning at home, I don’t see us winning any top 6 games away, except spurs but we did that last season too, so disappointing for Palmer, Sanchez, Madueke, colwill , so disappointing for all of them
Happy ,my issues is potter ,pitch, ten hagg , all kept making changes late .... Keeping Jackson on til 87 is criminal at 70 both him and cole put in a huge shift and did the dirty work , nkunku and Felix cnt prove more ... Hope meresca not another one who's gna lead us to injuries by not mkn changes 65 min or si
Everyone was crying for Enzo F to be dropped for Lavia, saying Enzo is poor defensively but what about offensively? Since Enzo dropped Chelsea never kept a clean sheet also Chelsea didn't score more than 2 goals, Enzo is not the problem we should just admit our defence is poor, Enzo is giving Chelsea shape in attack also in terms of possession, Enzo has the kind of Toni Kroos effect in a game, if Chelsea will sell Enzo to Madrid then they will regret, we need Enzo in the game
Felix had to play in this game technically he would have been able to break down arsenal compact lines He’s so good technically in tight spaces Madueke needs to lose his position on that wing….Misha should have started or Nkunku on that wing…. with him and Nico playing as false 9s
Lavia has been average on the last 3 games.. Need to recall Santos for competition.. Great assist by Enzo.. Palmer disappeared against top clubs as usual...gusto should stick with defending only, he provides nothing offensively.. Colwil always rash in big games.. Cucurella and caicedo put in a shift as usual
You expect Palmer to be prime Messi innit? Palmer is dropping back more than he should because our midfield lacks creativity. And yes, Reece over Malo. Madueke out for Neto, then Sancho or mudryk on the left.
You guys are talking rubbish. Give the team a break. This was a highly tactical affair. But you are too blind to see it. The only thing I think, is probably Palmer and Jackson should have been substituted earlier. But overall it is a good point.
@@somtochukwuunachukwu5193agree, take Palmer off and get Nkunku on in the 10. Give the opposition a different problem. Palmer is our best player, but if he isn’t in the game then why keep him on.
I'm looking forward to Estevao ! He will take some attention off Palmer and bring serious attack Down the right ! We getting better week in week out ! We need Osimhen with us whipping in some unreal balls ... !! We not Far off
We need to mention the following: Havertz is a rat for celebrating the disallowed goal the way he did. Enzo and Mudryk did well off the bench. Sanchez needs to know when to leave his line.
My only critique is some games Cole needs to be subbed off, clearly the last two games around the 75min mark he has been off the boil due to having to constantly loose his marker as he is man marked. Fresh creative legs could only help us and give the opposition something else to think about.

@@izu4272 nah bro not anymore
@@izu4272ngl I think noni needs to hold bench for a bit because he has been off form Neto could replicate that defensive workrate that noni offers
Putting Nkunku on in the 87th minute was taking the piss
So much disrespect on Nkuku by Maresca
Clearly doesn't rate him and like him for some bizarre reason,he'll clearly be leaving in January or end of the season and don't be surprised if it's to a rival club as these owners don't care as long as they get there money.
Yeah, tha owner/manager are takin tha piss with Nkuku.. Am sure there lookin 2sell him cause there been a fall out.. Ever since he had a fall out with Poche, he stopped startin him in games..

@@magiccarpet- not going to lie me too see him come on with 6,5 minutes to go in the game is crazy he deserves more minutes in the premier league
Am happy that Chelsea is now finally grabbing points from the big teams And getting full 3points against small teams
We were grabhing points against big teams last season 2 points against city 6 points against tottneham 1 point against liverpool 1 point against arsenal 3 points against man u
thats all valid points but noni was again selfish and doesnt contribute much than one cross? and played 70 mins while felix nkuku mudryk coudlve been playing more…also palmer needs to be held accountable if he doesnt perform play nkuku
Yes time for noni to sit down
@ yes and possibly sanchez too we need a new gk! and palmer should also be accountable nkuku felix when offering nothing
Mudryk is so poor. I think football was never his calling. Came in against Arsenal & almost made us lose the game from his flank!
When is João Félix going to play?
Only when Cole Palmer is out of the match day squad?
Then why did we sign him in the first place?
Some days Cole Palmer doesn't have his best games but still doesn't get subbed off and that's really annoying Nini 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Felix was the most unnecessary signing. I was gassed when he came back but what was the point. Oh yeah to sell galadawg
Time will tell
Maresca needs to sub Palmer when he is not performing
Team play is now too predictable. Predictable subs every game
Only in conference league is Felix going to play and like nkunku meresca clearly doesn't rate or like him.
We need to work on our discipline. Too many unnecessary yellow cards .
This is true
F discipline it promotes less physicality I prefer the lack of discipline
Another thing about the goal conceded is Noni seeing the right flank exposed yet didn't give it all to close the gap. He's probably the most athletic player in the team and I expect more commitment from him.
And we need to stop disrespecting Nkunku.
Good draw, I agree!

We need to start subbing Palmer off or starting him off the bench to disrupt teams whose game plan is to mark off Palmer

Younes made a good point . Yes we are 3rd but there is only 3 points between 3rd and 11th so when and it is when we throw away top 4 its all on clownlake and the sporting directors
Takeaways
-First time we’ve physically matched a top physical side, need to keep this up
-Cucurella, caicedo, fofana and Neto were fantastic
-we need to give lavia and James time, they’ve only just come back from a year out and have come jnto a really tough run of games, give them time and they’ll get better
-Sanchez has to go, awful on crosses, compare him and Raya (and Raya is about 6 inches shorter) and he always has a mistake in him
-serious questions as to why Felix and nkunku are even here? If they can’t come on at all against United and Arsenal then there’s serious issues
We have a good run of games now, need to go on a run and build a gap between us and the teams below at the halfway point
if I‘m Nkunku I‘m forcing a move in January back to Paris
I’d be shocked if his not got his agent working on it now
1 goal scored.
1 goal conceded.
1 point.
1 bad keeper
Sanchez
@@Justin0676 You cant have a 2 on 1 in the 6 and blame the keeper
@darrenmiller5221 sanchez is not good enough, rewatch the game look at Raya positioning, movements and ball distribution compared to sanchez
i think fofana also needs some praise
two major games, two consecutive mistakes from Sanchez, the coach has rotated every player but i dont know why he hasn't rotated Sanhez with Philip?
Nini is always positive. i think this team need to offer more in big games.
Lavia doles attacks while Enzo pushes the attack.
Conversation needs to be had about noni , can’t keep playing Neto out of position to accommodate him !!!
Truth. Let's see what joa does on the Left wing. What do we have to lose??
While I agree a conversation needs to be had, Neto is not out of position. He can play both really well
Fofana was good too cucu was great
Love the analysis hands down
Palmer need to release the ball early
Nini wen are we going to talk about madueke leak of goals and assist in how many games .
The difference between us and Arsenal is experience, when Havertz went off, Timber with the deliberate foul throw, then looked over at Havertz and dragging the throw on even longer... we don't have this game management yet.
My general criticism is just our speed and back passes our wingers should try an take on players and not back pass. I so think palmer should free float from left to right dropping down to assist the attack.
I guess you don't subscribe to possession based football.
This team will take time to grow....last year, we would have lost the match or lead early and get pegged back for draw.
We must be patient, we spent big, but that doesn't mean the success will be immediate...let's be patient
Your comment straight away saying we secured a good point against arsenal is the same mentality our manger and players have in these big games,they play within themselves and are scared to lose and are all happy to get a draw and take a point in these big games.
These top teams if we need to get points is by not fearing them and lastly trying to understand Chelsea is a big team as well,we have trophies in our cabins though they haven't won anything but the history of the club says it all.🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙
Funny feeling coming away from this game. Disappointed we didn't go for it after equalizing, but pleased with the spirit and grit to get a point after going behind. Best believe last season if we go behind to Arsenal we ain't coming away with a draw. This team is progressing but there's still a feeling of 'we can apply ourselves more'. We look way more organized as a unit but we're missing that X factor against the bigger teams. Regardless, we sit 3rd coming away from a tricky run of fixtures...nothing to be frowned upon. Up the Chels 💙
We are not creative in front of goal, we look like previous years where we have no plan in the final 3rd. I don't think that a Victor Oshiem would have made a different if we can't get the ball to our play makers in proper position or combine. Maybe Im being harsh but it's frustrating.
The midfield isn't creative enough. This board decided to spend 100M on a midfielder in Enzo Fernandez who creates F all. No striker would thrive in a team that mostly just passes to the players right next to them. And when the team is out of ideas, they just start kicking it into the box to absolutely no one.
We were more creative with Enzo Fernandez on the field than without Fernandez.
We had opportunities to cross the ball early, Jackson was in position but Neto decided to pull it back and let the defense get settled. Play faster Chelsea, be brave.
@@farawaytundra008 bro you don’t watch the games. Enzo got an assist and we look so much better with him. I can’t believe I’m even wasting my time replying to you but good luck
@@kennyo0079 Well good luck to you then. You probably sucked off Ziyech when he was here and told people the same crap when other fans said he was rubbish. You're seriously claiming an "assist" on that goal from Neto bro have shame.
I agree with you Nini👍
8:02 I disagree with this point because so many times things have not gone our way and we find a way back either from conceding first or even like today getting a draw against a team that put 5 past us last season.
Man we need oshimsen in jan
I think you just being stubborn and not accepting the reality that Osimeh will never accept a wage cut and Clearlake will not brake the wage structure for him.
6 Observations
• Neto needs to start at RW.
• Well done Cucurella for the MOTM. Held his own vs Saka.
• Maresca still can't claim a big scalp
• Sanchez was ok but seems allergic to clean sheets. At this rate we're going to have to outscore teams.
• Although it's a talented young squad it lacks steel & maturity - the former can be bought (buy more experienced players) the latter will come with time.
• Jackson was tireless today but we need a striker that occupies world class center backs + an aerial threat up front (#9🇳🇬)
I'll take 3rd going into the international break.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Also when mudryk came on he didn't have intensity in his defending, it left cucu 2v1 and gave odegaard space to put balls into the far post.
@@patriciamchunu4936 What striker? Don't say VO , man won't cook in the prem.
Madueke is selfish so Neto must play RW and LW play Mudryk or Sancho!
@thorock11 mudryk need to tighten up defensively, don't downplay what noni does defensively for the team, that's a major reason why he starts games!
Can Also add madueke was ABSCENT
We need osimhen. Go watch his goals today. He is so good in the air
Chill. We are third.
Playing in a pub league... Bring us Viktor!!!
@thatbwoysammyj thank God for that but only 3 points btwin 3rd and 11th place. It can flip with one loss and a draw and we will be in 11th position. Defensively this coach is tactically poor with blind defenders and a horrible goal keeper
@@chukspeterokonji305 how is the coach blind. Bro you played Arsenal not Leicester. The players know this performance wasn't good enough. They would improve
@thatbwoysammyj arsenal, man u were for the taking and we gave let them off the hook. And how will they improve. Defenders that allow attackers behind them when d opposing team is attacking. Men am not a player but I know this. It just takes 2 seconds 4u to know what's behind uband in Ur front when defending. Don't just be ball watching. Why should the coach and the defenders not know this. They have been playing football since they were kids. They ought 2b used to this type of scenario. Most goals we concede are either caused by our defenders or the goal keeper who at times become so generous to pass the ball to the opponent
Enzo Maresca is bias. His selection is not based on performance but favoritism.
1. Cole Palmer has not offered much against Liverpool, Manchester united and now Arsenal, yet he gets 90 minutes.
2. Jackson is easily silenced,yet Nkunku is not getting a fair chance
3.Clearly Madueke is only better coming off the bench, however he gets more minutes even though Neto is the best RW we have.
4. Malo Gusto is only fit to be Reece James's backup. But he always find ways to get him ahead of James or Cucurela.
Enzo Fernandez was dropped to the bench for Lavia and that worked well because he pulled up his socks.
Now WHY Palmer,Noni and Jackson have guaranteed game time no matter how they perform.
I'm not happy with this.
Exactly and fans we're on poch back last season,but meresca gets free pass when he's played players out of his position aswell this season and keeps rewarding players like noni for poor performances but freezes out and doesn't use Felix or nkunku in pl,also Jackson been poor last 2 games but will start again like noni
Well Just a note for you, Going to Vietnam and try some delicious food such as
- Bun Thit Nuong, Bun Dau Mam Tom, Banh Cuon, Mi Quang
- Barbecue Chicken (Chicken in Vietnam is smaller than other country), Gỏi Gà (Gà is chicken and chicken is Tottenham :))) )
- Bun Cha Ha Noi
I think you should do a Food tour Video in Vietnam, I believe Chelsea's Fan in Vietnam will like it.
Chelsea attack looked better after Lavia was replaced by Fernandez. Also, our defence was under more pressure after Lavia was replaced by Fernandez.
Niini only reasonable person among all these Chelsea YT
Extremely happy with this result. This are the "title contender" Arsenal that's been 6 years in the works after all. Sanchez is ONLY thing that I have a sore spot for. He has the potential to cost us top 4. Maresca needs to talk to him - We don't always have to play out from the back and attract pressure.
Do we need another striker? I don't think so, I trust in Jackson. I'd rather see the team utilize him more instead of going for an Osimhen.
Things i learnt
1.inverting gusto won't help
2.petrovic needs to be recalled
3.need a good centerback ,colwill is a liability (makes huge mistakes every game)
4.Palmer new role isn't working(should have been subtituted)
5.Nkunku should be subtituted early
6Maresca is stubborn ,not making good subtitution early(against big teams he isn't that guy)
7Need to work on setpieces
This is exactly what I've learned also.
Would like to see our wingers take on their man more, instead of inexplicably stopping, passing backwards and frustratingly the attack comes to nothing. Whenever they try to get in behind, chances are created. For example Neto's cross and Gusto's missed chance happened because Neto took on the defender.
This coach mess up at times, we needed more creativity in the final third yet he didn't put anyone, we needed Felix in this game which would have made a huge difference in match. The game was calling for Felix's flair and creativity.
Sign Yarek Gasiorowski Good CB 🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙
Niinii the hate Noni gets is so crazy when Palmer go missing no one gets on his case but the noni haters always going to talk 1:55
I am happy Kai never got an opportunity to make faces at his former teammates.
Cucurela and Fofana is 🌟
The worst mistake Chelsea would ever make is to let Nkuku leave. Its a shame that Nkuku is sitting on the Bench while Madueke is playing, I understand they are different profiles of players. Nkuku is a great player; this guy has played in the highest stage of football, he scored a hat trick in Champions league against City.
This will be a terrible mistake to allow him gonto Man U
Palmer should've been subbed off for Felix and we can't compete for the league until we get Diogo Costa or Unai Simon
Pedro Neto was excellent 2day..
We play better when Cucurella inverts. He's more effective going forward than Gusto.
Would've been offside at the end though. Lavia stifles the team's attack, Palmer should be moved to the wing to replace noni and Nkunku play through the middle
Cucurella was amazing I thought. Neto best on the right. We’re just not ready to win against the bigger teams yet. Caution born of inexperience hobbled is a bit. Progress is incremental, and that’s ok with me..
Few months of Maresca ball has everyone feeling like we're a big team again.
The Only negatives is there's gonna be too many unhappy players
Our players always kick the cornerskicks balls within the goalkeeper's reach that is why we have not been scoring from cornerkicks. The two cornerkicks goals against Noah FC came because the balls were away from the goalkeeper's reach.
Bro you were just fine but many goal keepers have swallowed many goals on that angle we just have to improve on our positioning in our defence line,we played better than last time period
Palmer should’ve been rested, Nkuku/joao should’ve started instead imo. Sanchez hasn’t been the best but a near post shot from that close is kinda harsh to blame him on it
I get it why Maresca is sometimes risk averse. But at home you have to gamble a bit and get the 3 points.
Safety first football 🤦🏻♂️ we had a chance to swing the ball in the box on the 94th min with a free kick to win it… instead we play safe because we didn’t want to be countered! Ironically we almost conceded with the last kick of the game!!! Also, with all this safety first football we will happily play suicide football out the back playing crazy passes 🤦🏻♂️ it’s unbelievable!!!
It was really odd that Chelsea kept doing aerial crosses against probably the best two aerial CBs in the league plus White and Raya who is proactive at coming for crosses. Sure, some crosses gave half chances but most were dealt with easily
Sell Nkunku sign Tyler Dibling Southampton player 🥶🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙
It was a good game a lot of back and forth, but Sanchez has to do better. We could’ve left with a win. Would’ve been nice to embarrass havertz for that shameless celebration
Motm Neto but our keeper situation and defense might cost us top 4 this season too 🇧🇻🇸🇯
We got embarrassed at their home ,the problem is not winning at home, I don’t see us winning any top 6 games away, except spurs but we did that last season too, so disappointing for Palmer, Sanchez, Madueke, colwill , so disappointing for all of them
The coach is favouring other players ,to me cole, madueke and Jackson were to be substituted immediately we came from 1st half
Happy ,my issues is potter ,pitch, ten hagg , all kept making changes late .... Keeping Jackson on til 87 is criminal at 70 both him and cole put in a huge shift and did the dirty work , nkunku and Felix cnt prove more ... Hope meresca not another one who's gna lead us to injuries by not mkn changes 65 min or si
Everyone was crying for Enzo F to be dropped for Lavia, saying Enzo is poor defensively but what about offensively? Since Enzo dropped Chelsea never kept a clean sheet also Chelsea didn't score more than 2 goals, Enzo is not the problem we should just admit our defence is poor, Enzo is giving Chelsea shape in attack also in terms of possession, Enzo has the kind of Toni Kroos effect in a game, if Chelsea will sell Enzo to Madrid then they will regret, we need Enzo in the game
Levi colwill was really poor today imo. Not taking control of situations and keeping martinelli on for the goal.
“The ultimate ball headed manager”
😭
Felix had to play in this game technically he would have been able to break down arsenal compact lines
He’s so good technically in tight spaces
Madueke needs to lose his position on that wing….Misha should have started or Nkunku on that wing…. with him and Nico playing as false 9s
Sanchez played very good 2day&made an excellent save 2keep us in tha game.. Stop makin Sanchez tha scapegoat.
Both those situations were offside when linesman raises the flag once that play is over
Im a huge fan of Cole Palmer but if he is not effective sub him off, bring in Jaoa felix, throw something different at the opposition
Lavia has been average on the last 3 games.. Need to recall Santos for competition.. Great assist by Enzo.. Palmer disappeared against top clubs as usual...gusto should stick with defending only, he provides nothing offensively.. Colwil always rash in big games.. Cucurella and caicedo put in a shift as usual
Well said
You expect Palmer to be prime Messi innit? Palmer is dropping back more than he should because our midfield lacks creativity. And yes, Reece over Malo. Madueke out for Neto, then Sancho or mudryk on the left.
You guys are talking rubbish. Give the team a break. This was a highly tactical affair. But you are too blind to see it.
The only thing I think, is probably Palmer and Jackson should have been substituted earlier. But overall it is a good point.
@@somtochukwuunachukwu5193agree, take Palmer off and get Nkunku on in the 10. Give the opposition a different problem. Palmer is our best player, but if he isn’t in the game then why keep him on.
I'm looking forward to Estevao ! He will take some attention off Palmer and bring serious attack Down the right !
We getting better week in week out ! We need Osimhen with us whipping in some unreal balls ... !!
We not Far off
Please forget about Osimeh playing for Chelsea.
The manager should never bench Enzo for Lavia ever again
We need to mention the following:
Havertz is a rat for celebrating the disallowed goal the way he did.
Enzo and Mudryk did well off the bench.
Sanchez needs to know when to leave his line.
3:44 it was Noni
Jackson was hardly mentioned in this game
