Saturday 18th August - Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal

[Chaaay AFC]

First time in years we have actually used the wings, all our chances came from getting it to the byline and cutting it back. So refreshing, can't wait for the second half hope we can get a result.

[Bluewolf]

From high to low in about 20 minutes... 

Both sides looking as ropey as fuck at the back when attacks come in... neither side exactly over confident in those areas for sure.. Arsenal with the upper hand after getting back in it so Sarri will be relieved to hear that half time whistle..

We looked so confident and now we look like a bunch on Sunday non league players.. At least we can bring Hazard on to try and give Arsenal a few more headaches at the back... Been a good game for all it's terrible defending..

Chelsea's full backs have been terrible. Hopefully they continue like this in the 2nd half.

Right back at you mate.... 

[Cicero]

Cant believe we rejected 60 million for Willian. Been his useless self and guilty of the first goal that gave Arsenal any momentum 

[6666]

Xhaka and Iwobi off (even though he's done well) for Ramsey and Lacazette in the second half.

I don’t know if I’d take Iwobi off, he’s causing problems for Chelsea. But I definitely agree with Xhaka off for Ramsey.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Looks like Torreira coming on though. I imagine it’s for Xhaka, who despite being decent for the Swiss, always looks totally useless when I watch Arsenal.

Why take Iwobi off if he's doing well? 

[Chaaay AFC]

Let's go Torreira, high hopes for him good decision for me there by Emery.

[Bluewolf]

This could go either way now... Going to be a right ding dong second half.. 

Attacking wise Arsenal seem to be a lot more creative... could be the difference unless we get our bloody acts together

It's the only way to get Lacazette into the fold and Aubameyang is still more likely to take advantage in the second half than Iwobi.

[Bluewolf]

Trying to call handball on that... do me a favour.. 

[Bluewolf]

We are so fucking slow at getting players in the box.... great breaks wasted 

[Bluewolf]

Great effort from Barkley... 

[Bluewolf]

Lets see what difference these subs make to us now..

If this stays the same this is a marvellous result for us which will boost our confidence no end. 

[Chaaay AFC]

Fair play to Iwobi today, I have to say. Poor second half from us though, can't get the ball.

[Burning Gold]

Harsh to take Iwobi off. He's done well today, and it's an extra kick in the teeth to take him off for Lacazette, who's absolute shite.

[Stan]

3-2 Chelsea. Hazard works his way down the wing and cuts back for Alonso to slide in past Cech through his legs.

Lacazette very poor there. Gave the ball away and didn't do well to hold up Hazard.

[Chaaay AFC]

Awful, awful, awful from Lacazette what another shite goal to concede.

[Bluewolf]

Get in!!! 

[SirBalon]

Spanish Chelsea 

[bozziovai]

probably the match with the most mistakes.

[Bluewolf]

Thank fuck for that.. 

[Chaaay AFC]

Two awful fixtues to begin with, but still need to be doing better. Such an annoying winner to concede, but we just weren't in it second half. Defence needs to take a long hard look at itself absolutely garbage today barring Cech.
