Gomez over Matip

What was the thought process there?

He had a half-decent game against Wolves.

People are so harsh on Gakpo. He done ok and set up a goal scoring chance to Salah who whiffed it.

Keita gave one sloppy pass away but the rest has been good? Are you noticing his movement? Look where he is for the Gakpo shot. He should get the pass from him. The outside of the foot pass for Salah?

Elliott at LW just gives such awkward balance to the attack it's a problem. Not a great performance regardless of that

It's a worry, he's not a midfielder, certainly not a LW, I really don't know where his best position is.
The biggest problem anywhere in the world is that people's perceptions of reality are filtered through the screening mesh of what they want, and do not want, to be true.

I dont how or why I managed to get myself hyped about this game before kick off and got myself excited thinking we would score a few in the first half and the atmosphere would be electric!

Gomez over Matip

He was solid against Wolves. I'm not against him playing again off the back of a good performance. Think that's the right way to do it when Matip has been poor and we've been getting beat, doesn't say a lot if you play well one game and get dropped for someone who has been playing even worse.

Gomez hasn't been great like fwiw

We’ve had awful midfield performances when the attack looked threatening but it’s hard to judge this midfield with the lack of movement and options in front of them.

Elliot and Gakpo both want the ball to feet so there’s no direct threat.

Yep and they need to move Elliot to the right which is where he plays best. Stick Nunez on the left with Salah through the middle and we’ll cause them havoc.

That midfield has been way better than some of the midfields this season, dunno what people are chatting about.

Not sure either. One negative comment seems to breed another. Chelsea have played well but we have matched them almost so it’s a tight match. Nobody is getting much time on the ball.

That shit gets given about 5 times a game. Officials are soft as shit in this country.

No corner given the linesman a foot away can't see it but the crowd can. A foul on I think it was Hall didn't even touch him could have led to goal. Every time this Oliver refs us so many wrong decisions he cost us against Arsenal.

Compared to how we played just two games ago, it’s all about taking small steps forward again.

Gakpo looks really tense. Think he is really buckling under the expectations. He just needs to relax a little.

fs

he snatched at his chances. so did Mo. Teams short on confidence atm and hes the new boy. buckling is just way ott. his passing eye already looks first class, hes got a lot about him. Hes going to be very good, wait and see. Hes improved his positional play and pressing in every game so far he learns fast.

Keita and Thiago sloppy in possession too often, which has cut short a lot of possession and made things easy for Chelsea. Improved marginally towards the end; Keita's pass to Salah at the end may grant him a bit longer, else he was prime candidate to be hooked. This (rather than the injuries) is the frustration of his time at the club for me; given an opportunity, he just seems mentally off the pace. This is far from vintage Chelsea, he could be absolutely dominating that midfield. Bajcetic has been the best of our midfielders.

Shaky on set pieces, but looking a bit more solid in open play. Gakpo looks a little laid back at times, then snatched at a couple of shots. Salah looks frustrated recently.

Five minutes before half time I'd have said Nunez on for Keita, drop Elliott into midfield, but then Naby woke up a bit.

And keep Elliot left wing?

Would rather Gakpo go out there and Nunez through the middle.

Its like they are complete strangers. We look poor in almost every single part of the game. At some point some of these players have to concentrate and play a pass like they have seen a football before. Worrying lack of concentration in some moments and good to see Klopp giving them a bit of a bollocking. I mean, stop with the stupid mistakes that put our team under pressure.

We are lucky this is a struggling chelsea, because most teams would be winning againat us now.

Atleast it doesnt look like we are constantly overrun in midfield, but our defence was still an open door at times. We dont look very good in attack, Gakpo understandably look like he is not used to his role. He might very well become a good player for us, but it will take time and that should have made us go for a midfielder instead. Doesnt feel like a player we really had to buy right now. Still think he can become a good addition, just think its not going to be this season.

We need to improve. Nunez need to come on so we can be more of a threat. Like Elliot playing in the attack, he seems alot more suited to a role in the front three. We need Salah to be a lot better than he has this season, he has to as he wanted to be paid as one of the best, then has to perform as such.

At this stage, Gakpo shouldn't be near the middle. Let him play in his most comfortable position and offer some sort of outlet on the left. He has no idea what to do in the middle. Doesn't really come short, but also makes no runs. Weird positioning.
