Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea - Sunday 29th December, 2019

[Eco]

Wow - what a nightmare that is from Arsenal's Keeper. 

1-1. 

[Machado]

Have to feel sorry for Leno  The poor guy's face.

[Bluewolf]

Thank god for that... 

[RandoEFC+]

Arsenal gonna Arsenal

[Eco]

And...Arsenal fall apart. 

[Bluewolf]

Oh my word... 

[Cicero]

Tammy boy!!!

What a way to get your first big goal!

[Rick]

Arsenal has well and truly reverted back to old after what was a good first half. 

[Machado]

It's been all Chelsea in the second half. Draw would have been the fair result probably, but Chelsea's superior individual quality showed. Willian has been great.

the guy who should have been sent off scores. officiating a joke again

It's soccer law: he who should be off shall score. 

Ref should be penalized. Surely refs should be held accountable for their mistakes that teams have to bear. 

Perhaps lampbard has the ref on his payroll

[Michael]

Chelsea have really changed things around here late on. Tammy Abraham is developing into some player, he's great to watch.

[Bluewolf]

That frustrates me about us... we could have driven into the box there while Arsenal were on the back foot but we held it up and then back to the keeper... I appreciate wasting a bit of time but a golden opportunity to get at them again goes begging

[Redcanuck]

Chelsea has been the far better side since Jorginho came on, which was a great tactical change by Lampard, but Jorginho should have been off and he might have even fouled Torriera in the build up to his goal.  Disappointing Arsenal folded like they did, was hoping to be a point out of fourth at the end of the day.

[Chaaay AFC]

Refs a joke, but typical from us. Absolutely nothing about this team, shocking second half. 

[CaaC (John)+]

Bloody hell, now 1-2 Chelsea, why can't Chelsea do the likes of this at home.

[Chaaay AFC]

Bumazette another that needs to be sold, absolutely shit from him again. Arteta needs to drop that useless idiot. 

[Dan+]

I really don't get the rhetoric that Arsenal played well there at all.

Maybe it was the case of Chelsea not showing up but Arsenal sure were on top for about 50 minutes.

Arsenal haven't won now in the last 4 league games. More disturbing is the fact that Arsenal have only one ONCE in the last 7 league matches since Emery was sacked, having also lost in 3 of those 7 league matches. The ref didn't have a great game, but Chelsea were better in that 2nd half.

They didn't. I made a comment in the first page about it. Their intensity just out matched us given they've taken advantage of the extra man in midfield when we played 3 at the back. 

Lampard making the decision to take off Emerson, (who honestly hasn't looked arsed anymore) and putting in Jorginho changed the game.

Would Chelsea have been better with 10 men?

For the sake of balance I missed the first half an hour due to Celtic v Rangers. From what I saw there it was Arsenal just sitting back far too deep and sure enough, they folded like usual. I don't think either team played particularly well there to be honest. Was a strange game and not a good one.

Would Arsenal? I love how the talking point is Jorginho when Guendouzi should of been sent off in the first half, and a penalty.

They didn’t. There’s a lot wrong at Arsenal, Arteta’s given himself a massive task getting things right for them.

This upcoming January is pretty important for them imo

Guendouzi could have been sent off for the same thing. The ref was pretty shit, but at least he was consistent with those 2 pretty identical instances.
