Lmfao.... 80% possession til our airhead captain gets himself sent off and now here we are 3 goals down. Cant blame the board for this one. The players should be ********ing embarrassed.
First game of the season or not, we should not be conceding three first-half goals to Burnley. They scored 39 goals in the entirety of last season.
The red was borderline but Cahill put himself in a bad spot for no particular reason. He is prone to foolish things despite being a top player for us most times. I consistently fail to see what makes Courtois world class but I seem to be in the minority there. Tough day at the office, better days to come.
Worst half of football I've seen from a Chelsea striker since Diego's nightmare run of form last season. Good lord that was hard to watch. ********ing hell
Feel bad for the rest of the league. They all have to wait a while to put in the worst 45 minutes of the season.
Courtois is a fantastic shot stopper but he is terrible at organizing defense and distribution and commanding the box. That said, those goals not his fault. All on the defense.
Oh , how foolish of me. How dare I expect what is mostly the starting XI that won the league last season to NOT be down 3-0 against a team that had what was one of if not THE worst away records last season? Crazy expectation right
Two defenders starting their first game together, facing a crosser with no pressure. The real problem is that we're trying to play in possession with 10 men and led footed Michy as our striker.
Lol... I dont even care. Its ********ing Burnley. Its so sad that we have Willian and the horrible Cesc Fabregas on the field as well. Poor us
We replaced Boga, an attacker, with Christensen making his PL debut. We have 3 attacking players on at this moment and can't defend for shit.
You said it's mostly the same, when in fact that is hardly the case. This is a shell of the side from last season. Not sure Conte is to blame for Cahill's red. But whatevs YOLO. We were bad, no doubt, Pawson has given every opportunity to Burnley. We can't defend which was our MO last season with Matic out. Bats has been bad, but he has Willian as support who has to track back at every opportunity. Kante and his amazinf ball distribution is sitting behind Batshuayi. We're well and truly ********ed.
