    We could have won that. If only we put it in this kind of effort more often.

    I'll take the point at their place. Even if Luiz doesn't get straight red he gets his second yellow. Happy to see such a douchebag get the ban.

    Kola keeps on impressing me and Xhaka is losing my confidence.

    Not effort. Structure, discipline, and everyone being on the same page in defense.

    Need to do better in attack. Team still not on the same page.

    Ooh ooh we've shot up to 12th! Behind Watford, WBA and Soton.

    Seriously, in three games we should be top four. :D

    The remaining Sept. PL games as well as all October PL games should be all wins. Until we face City in Nov. we have an easy schedule coming. No reason not to accumulate max points. After today we know we are capable of competing. Must execute. We have a good chance to climb the table coming.

    Much better than I was expecting. Maybe we don't need Ozil.
    But...******** Chelsea. They go down at every slight touch and little baby Fabregas throwing a fit every time the call didn't go his way. Annoying to watch.

    we needed someones creativity today after the first half, so I wont go that far.

    Ozil needs to play on the right with 3CMs or we use @thebigman's diamond.

    Not what I meant. Effort, at this level, is a given.

    So i hear Wumger played actual centre backs at centre back, Ramsey played with positional discipline and Kolasnic played his real position!

    Shocking!

    Great performance, and the data backs it up. Unlucky not to win.



    Ramsey sitting back makes this team much better.

    Surprisingly, still haven't scored in three away games this season.

    Big concern for me today was that Lacazette was pretty dreadful.

    Didn't get to see any of the match at all sadly. Did we stick somewhat to one formation today throughout the game?

    Well when you look at the names it's not that surprising.

    There were no real elite attackers in that lineup

    i do not think he is saying that effort does not/did not matter but, while we have often efforted, it is generally of the "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" variety.

    I'm not worried about Laca. Who knows, Chelsea's plan might have been to deny Laca and trust that no one else could hurt them.
    Maybe not but that would also explain why other players had more space.

    Özil won't play as a CM. No matter what the tactical line-up says he won't stay there and he'll never do the defensive duties that's expected of a CM. He'll play as a 10 (or a very attacking AM) and he'll move around as a 10 and he'll defend like a 10. Any tactic that depends on him doing traditional CM duties will fail miserably.

    they totally should.

    But I support Arsenal, so do not care about how Chelsea feel about their players.
