Chelsea vs Arsenal, Sunday midday

Saka been quite contained by cucu all game. Need some adjustment second half from there..

Don Pacifico

Starting to think there is some unconscious bias going on here with the reffing against Saka. Really a bit mad of late.

Awful officiating

Fucking hell I thought this was in one and a half hour. Have we been decent?

Away at the bridge we have pretty much dominated proceedings so yes. Unlike other years where we just defended and hit them on the break.

Jesus missed a sitter otherwise we would be leading

Ridiculous yellow card for Saka. And there was a clear foul on him just seconds before that

banduan

Really poor final ball by Zinko

Yeah what the fuck is going on?

He’s not improved at all since his breakthrough Michael Oliver. At worst he’s a fully fledged prick.

Besides that, Saka allowed himself to get to get played there

Edit: agree Saka has gotten a bad rub for a while, so understandable if that frustration is built up rather than transient

Don Pacifico

Worried about the lack of cutting edge - Chelsea still pose a threat on the break, particularly down our left side where Zinchenko has looked okay but a little off the pace.

Beware the sucker punch.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Shite in the final third. Too slow with passing and movement and they have 15 players in their box.

Jesus is annoying.

Qwiss

Better team but a bit of an uninspiring first half. Need Xhaka and Odegaard to attack more and help the forwards.

Chance was just out of reach maybe, but all round he has been below par looks like lack of goals is effecting his confidence.

I'd take out Zinchenko if he doesn't improve significantly in the first 10 min of the second half.

Jesus worries me , he needs to put some work in during the World Cup break. On this form he isn't getting picked. Maybe that's playing in his mind.

Don Pacifico

It's matches like these where our lack of a clinical CF shows. Jesus has been great (as ever) in the build-up but he offeres so little goal threat (which feels partly a function of the role he plays tactically today but also his poor finishing). Good do with a target man to help pull Chelsea's back-line apart.

GooneriC

I would try switching Jesus with Martinelli for a few minutes

Sicario

Saka doesn’t seem fit, take him off for Nelson.

Partey been our best player imo.

Jesus needs to do better.

They've swapped positions most of the 1st half already. It's really a shame these forwards of ours aren't a but more goal-hungry. All a bit too one-for-all.

Kel Varnsen

We're dominating, but Chelsea are playing hard. We just need to keep the ball moving and eventually Chelsea will tire and give up space.

banduan

Partey, White and Saliba have had a massive first half. Saka tbh was a little quiet but he has 2-3 on him at all times.

Claudius

I thought Jesus was supposed to be nailed on with a cross.

I think we will edge this.
