Aubameyang again.

Chelsea are giving Arsenal to much space.

Very entertaining .. whatever sport that is they are playing

 

[Morten]

Chelski actually looks like Arsenal now, with their "defending".
Can they sub on Hazard, or is he not even in the squad for this match?

 

[Devils]

Oh my goddddd This is madness football.

 

[utility73]

Any pub team would play better defense than those clowns.

 

[serghei]

Chelsea have invented a new type of defense. One that is not man oriented, nor space oriented, nor ball oriented.

 

[impeh]

awful defending but great entertainment

 

[xXKonan]

Chelsea players are struggling against Arsenal's cutbacks the most from what I've noticed.

 

[Jenks]

The main problem for Chelsea is that they have a holding midfielder in Jorginho that can't defend.

 

[Chainsaw]

Chelsea's been lucky so far.

Ross Barkley is one of the worst midfielders ever.

Chelsea's token lousy Brit. Doesn't belong in this side. And Luiz may offer decent passing but he's a defensive liability.

 

[serghei]

Chelsea have a way of defending by applying pressure, but when those pockets of pressure are not tight enough and consistent enough then you need players who can defend. Jorginho, Luis and Alonso are not that.

I can see what Sarri is trying to play here, but if you're not 100% committed on this and the players don't know very well what they need to do it can backfire badly.

Yep. Chelsea midfielders are asleep on those.

 

[serghei]

Funny is Chelsea have succesfully blocked 90% of the passing options of Arsenal players, but those 10% that they left open were all key positions to free men.

What's the point to apply pressure if you forget to mark 1 player?

Somewhere a player is not doing what he's supposed to be doing so there's always a hole they're unable to block. Arsenal were pretty cunning in playing in the hole and finding a free man. But the way Chelsea defended, it would've been hard not to.
