Cahill desperately sprinting back to his own goal is becoming a familiar sight.

 

[Stevencc]

Another Cahill howler.

 

[Renegade]

That's goal of the season so far, absolutely gorgeous goal. Chelsea giving Arsenal far too much space.

 

[Relentless]

Can we send our entire defence to the glue factory

 

[TylerB]

Cahill really is awful.

Him and Luiz at centre-back is just comedy genius.

 

[Stevencc]

Whatever happened to the Chelsea fan that thought Chelsea were going to win the league this season, the one that read way too much into pre-season games?

 

[ColB]

Chelsea are still far too reliant on Costa. I like Conte as a manager and think he'll do good things for Chelsea, but it certainly won't be this season and with that current squad. Luiz is an absolute terrible buy as well, a liability that they did extremely well to get shut of the first time around for as much as they did.

 

[Benji]

Costa lost the physical battle today. Doesn't often happen, but Koscielny and Mustafi were virtually faultless. Chelsea all over the place until they switched formation. Way too casual on the ball in their own third, it's asking for trouble when Sanchez is up front. Giroud doesn't have the pace to press like he does.

 

[Storzy]

Wow... I thought the best we'd get here is a boring 0-0.

Not sure what to make of that performance though. We played well and took advantage of a terrible Chelsea side, that was very slow and pretty much hoping Costa bullied a chance out of us. Not usually a bad bet to be fair.

 

[JimJams]

At least I can point to this result when people say we wouldnt concede so many if Kante was still in our side.

We did beat you twice last season... so maybe he just doesn't like marking Ozil. It would explain our third goal.

Kante should be running marathon. New Makelele, You'r havin a laugh!

The lads a fucking beast mate, but he's not a Mak mkII. He's better but Conte hasnt set up to make him as effective as he was with us.

The third goal - weird how Kante just seemed to be jogging back after Özil? Last season he'd have caught him by the half way line, surely.

Disagree. Drinkwater made him look better than he is last season.

Hard to tell if it's a failed offside trap or lazy backtracking. David Luiz could definitely have played Ozil offside if he had the wherewithal.

fair play to the lad having the balls to do that.....

 

[smat]

btw where on earth has Alex Iwobi come from? Slotted into a team with Sanchez and Ozil absolutely seamlessly. 20 years old. FRIGHTENING. Shame (or not?) he chose to play for Nigeria rather than England.

 

[JimJams]

He might win something with Nigeria.

Not the next ACN, but one day maybe!
